It doesn't overheat, it isn't very loud (my hair dryer is WAY louder) and if your hand slips, the area around where it emits heat is not too hot to the touch.
It does not have multiple settings but I can't imagine what you would need it to get hotter for. It's much more reliable than those "heavy duty" heat guns that have broken on me after a few uses. I'm very fond of this product and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive heating mechanism.
It doesn't take it any time, really, to heat up to "full strength" -- just a couple of seconds. This sucker gets HOT, so if you're new to this, it might take a bit of practice to figure out how to hold the paper up while attacking it with the heat gun. You absolutely do NOT want to leave the paper on the table while running the heat gun over it -- no, I didn't make that mistake, but I have a friend who did, and she ended up having to get her table refinished.
It really heats evenly, and does a great job of melting the embossing powder quickly. It has a little wire "rest" so that you can put it down on the table without the hot bits touching the surface.
One little warning: when you use this the first few times, it WILL produce some smoke, and it may look like a lot. But just give it time, and that will dissipate. It took mine 3 "sessions" to get rid of all the smoke, and it's fine now. I've made 6 cards of different designs with it, and by card #4, the smoke was gone. No further problems with it.
Mine is still relatively new, so I can't really speak to its durability. If I have a problem with it, I'll edit this review to reflect that.
The only suggestion I would have is that it would be great if there were a safety guard available that extended out several inches from the heat gun, however that is not a typical heat gun accessory, and not at all a criticism of this product. With what I use this for, it would be particularly easy to burn myself as i must move the items that are being heated while remembering to keep my arm out of the line of fire, so this is purely wishful thinking on my part in case anyone happens to know of an accessory like this or the company is searching comments for ideas.

Am Anfang stinkt sie ein bisschen, danach alles top.
Man sollte nur daran denken, noch einen Adapter zu kaufen, da das Produkt einem AMERIKANISCHEN STECKER hat. Also für deutsche Steckdosen habe ich für 1€ einem Adapter bestellt.
