I'm sure the Shark heats like a coffee pot with a resistive element. The only thing that would reduce it's heating ability is buildup on the element, just like your coffee pots. You can run vinegar thru them once in a while if you don't mind the smell or use distilled water. You don't get buildup from distilled water.
