Updated: The heating issue became more and more of an issue and less than a year after purchase, it's now completely dead. That's $500+ down the toilet.I bought this for my son. I was very skeptical that something this small would perform well, even for its not-terribly-resource-hogging purposes. I was  afraid it would run hot and it DOES, but it doesn't overheat which is really what I was worried about. If my son's twin ever needs a new one--I would not hesitate to get another--unless I saw something similar that people remarked "it doesn't get hot!"
