Is my Vornado MVH heater too hot to touch?

It's normal for the Vornado MVH heater to be warm to the touch during operation; however, if it feels excessively hot, that could be a safety concern. This heater is designed to operate efficiently, but overheating may indicate a malfunction or that it is placed too close to a surface that traps heat. For example, if the heater is sitting on a drafty surface, it might struggle to reach optimal temperatures, causing it to overheat and become too hot to safely touch. Pro Tip: Always allow the heater to cool down before touching it or moving it. If you consistently find it too hot, reconsider its placement and check for any visible damage to ensure it’s functioning properly.
