I?m very happy with the knife. I may not have explained it very well. This knife does not overheat. It is actually very good. I did have a problem with the first one after about 5 years of use. The thermostat stopped working and it did overheat. It eventually burnt out. The new one runs quite cool and does not burn the honey or wax. Here in Australia, they are over $200 but from my perspective, they are well worth the money. I do keep a spare one and my old steam knife just in case??..
