the handle gets warm to our touch as well, but not warm enough to stop working.

i did my 5 yr old in 1hr, he sits really well. we did the 2 4mos olds, in 2 days, we did smaller sessions being it's their first time being groomed, they didn't like it near their head or feet, but I think that will get better with time, and when they get older.

I love it, it was the best investment i've made in a while. I bought it on amazon, like a month ago, and i found oster has a 15% rebate if you spend over $100.

Good luck.

oh really...where do you find the rebate at? thanks!
