Does Flixy stay cool when left plugged in all the time?

Had mine plugged in for about eight months now. It sits behind the living room TV and basically never gets unplugged. The stick itself stays cool to the touch whenever I bother to check it, which isn’t often. The USB power adapter gets slightly warm but nothing that makes me think twice about it.

The only thing I noticed after a few months is that the remote takes a second longer to wake it up from the idle screen. Not a big deal, just a tiny delay. I figured that was more about the software than the hardware getting cooked. I’ve had worse streaming boxes that ran hot enough to feel through the HDMI port, and this one doesn’t do that.

I did unplug it once to take it on a trip and it booted up fine after that. No weird behavior, no reset needed. It just acted like normal.

Honestly, it’s a cheap enough device that I’m not losing sleep over it. If it dies in two years from staying plugged in, I’ll just buy another one. They’re not expensive enough to baby. I’d say plug it in, forget about it, and only worry if you notice it actually getting hot when you touch it. That’s been my experience anyway.

I keep mine in the bedroom and it’s been plugged in since I got it months ago. Never felt warm enough to even notice. The TV being off basically means it’s just sitting there doing nothing. I don’t see the point in unplugging something that draws that little power.

Mine has been plugged in for about four months now and the only time I even think about it is when I notice it’s slightly warm to the touch. Never hot, just warm. I wouldn’t call it a problem but I also wouldn’t say it’s totally cool either.

Mine actually runs warmer than I expected. I noticed it after leaving it on for a few days without touching it. Not hot enough to worry about, but definitely not cool like some people describe. I just make sure there’s a bit of space around the HDMI port and it’s been fine.

Mine has been in the living room TV for about six months now and it just stays there. I never unplug it, even when we’re not watching anything. The thing barely gets warm, and that’s only if I actually touch it right after using it for a while. I really don’t think it’s something to lose sleep over.

Honestly, I feel like people overthink this stuff. These little sticks are designed to just sit there. It’s not like it’s a laptop that needs to breathe or something. As long as it’s not getting hot enough to feel uncomfortable when you touch it, it’s fine. I’d be more worried about the TV’s USB port giving out than the Flixy itself. Mine has been rock solid, so I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s just one of those things where it either works or it doesn’t, and mine works.

I’ve had mine plugged in since the day I got it and it’s been totally fine. It sits on a shelf behind the TV where I never touch it, and I only notice it when I’m swapping HDMI ports for something else. It’s warm if I actually grab it, but nothing that’s ever made me think twice. I’d say it’s just the normal way these little sticks are.
