does the element light up or does it just heat

Electric element only. Gets very hot and the circulating air cooks the food. It works very well.

As the others have said, there is no visible heating element when it is on. I also have found this oven quite the time-saver.

After several minutes in open air, the catalyst should warm up enough to produce feel able heat. also, if you can peer into the catalyst, it should glow a soft redish orange, though i am unsure with this model if you can see the catalyst. There is no open flame, rather it looks like an incandescent (older style) bulb filament when you set the light dimmer ultra low.

I use a zippo to light it after I filled the warmer with fluid. I can't see the burner glow, but what I usually do is hold the warmer close to my face. If it feels and stays warm, I know its lit. I'll leave it out for a minute or two without the top cover to make sure the thing is lit and still hot. Once that's done, you can put the cover on and then the bag.

Mine glows throughout when it's on full heat. Not sure if yours in defective, maybe it only glows half-way if it's on a lower level?

Red glow is normal, means the heating element is working. I would check your vent tube for blockage.

Yes, It lights when you turn on the micro. It illuminates very well and cooks incredibly evenly and well..Hands down the best micro I've ever owned. Solid piece and incredibly well designed

If you are just doing standard toasting the only thing that lights up are the heat coils. If you are using another function like frozen item or bagel then that function light lights up.

Both heating elements plug into a wiring harness (provided) and are controlled by a single three position switch, low-off-high. LED on switch shows red for high and yellow for low settings. Nice !

It's only lit after touching it. As you move your finger around it, there should also be a reddish light following your finger. Once you hit start, the light on the ring goes out again.

Mine lit up when took it out of box, sometimes have to push the button again. I don't know didn't notice anything, I really like mine!

Its a quarts element with an IR filtered glass housing. So the unit itself doesn't generate a lot of heat, it heats up objects close to it via the IR.

It lights up from the bottom to the top when you turn it on with an on animation. Does the opposite when you turn it off. Looks to be lighted in the blade and not from bottom

Hi Georgia - it does not have lights per se. Rather, the heating element is a bright metallic orange/red color that lights up when in use. It's like staring at a car's tail light. I find the light from the heater very annoying and too bright to sleep. Unless your bedroom is very small, this heater won't do much to keep you warm.

it lights up when plugged in, even if not being used. you can press button and turn off to save energy. have several, and love them

The light it self (led) will not create heat at all. You will not feel any energy heat come from the light at all.

It just lights up (and you're not supposed to look at the light) and heats up a small area. It does not find veins.
