How hot does the case get? Will have small children around, dont want them to touch it and burn themselves? Any kind of auto shut off for emergency?

Hi Jason, I ran the heater at 70 deg for over 2 hours...nothing to get burned with. Heaterwill shut off when you reach desired temp. Only blower will run. There is a wooden "lip"that over hangs the grate and one below it. If my kids were young I would buy this.

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

It does not get hot but I would be cautious just the same. The face where the sir comes out is the hottest.

Everything on this unit is push button on,temp set. The hot air blows from the upper grid as seen in picture. There is an overhang from the hardwood in casement. This is a beautiful piece of furniture. I have only had the temp to 70 deg. It does not get hot to touch. Only that temp of air blowing.

Top, sides and back of heater are cool to the touch. The front where the heat comes from does get very warm.

No, the cord does not get hot ...very sturdy cord and never hot. But one would not want a little one to play with the cord.

The case stays cool at all times. The unit will shut off if tipped, but it's pretty hard to tip.Just a great product. I love mine.

The case does not get hot at all, although it is quite warm air blowing out where you can see the red, heated quartz. I have a small dog, and she walks in front of it all of the time. I am not aware of any safely shut off on this heater. It is heavy and solid, so I can not think it would tip over. Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions.

You don't have to worry. It does not get hot. The children and pet will be fine. Never had an issue of any kind. It's sturdy so it would just fall over. My 2 cats had no issue with it last winter. But I would keep the cord out of the way for safety reasons (don't want anyone falling over it) and place it were the children will not play with the control buttons on the front.

My XL heater cabinet does not get hot, nothing gets hot that i know of on the furnace, the heat warms the air and furniture ....got one for my granddaughter's room, she's 4, I have found to be very safe! However, I would not put my finger on the heater front port, don't know if it is hot or not....re emergency, i would turn it off with the remote

It would keep the luch warm for them if it was packed in the morning. The only problem is the unit is very hot when it comes out of the micro wave so I would not wanting a 5 or 6 year old touching them at that time Older kids OK or it would be OK at lunch time or even at morning break

Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident. If you think about it, there is no material in the case that would conduct heat at all. Only the phone itself could pass heat through the case. I have used this case on my phone, which is my business phone, and spend many hours on it every day of the week. I have never once felt the phone or the case get hot in any spots. For someone that wants the protection of the top of the line case, but doesnt want that bulkiness, this is the perfect product! I also advise getting a Invisi-sheild screen protector on it as well. -D Hall Investments Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident.

We leave it on all the time. It is hot enough that you can't hold it with your hand for more very long but not hot enough to burn. Not very scientific but hope it helps

The heater element is behind a grill and yes the grill can get pretty hot. I just put it on high and the air alone coming out of it was pretty hot, I put the back of my hand on the grill and I could only keep it on there for a short time. I did not burn myself but a babies skin would be more sensitive. With that said I love the remote and oscillation features it also has a safety shut of feature if it gets knocked over.Hope this helps.

the heat blows out of the bottom underside. the heater itself does not get all that hot. it is a nice unit and we like it, but with toddlers, I think you might want to put it on a pedestal of some sort away from little fingers.

This pit gets extremely hot underneath. Make sure to follow instructions about sand and put on blocks or some thick bricks/stone. Sparks do find their way out of protective screen.

Well Benji A. Aspherheim it does a little bit more than without the case but that is because all the heat is trapped and can not get out but i do recommend that you give it a space or room to let all the hot heat escape. I hope that answers your question. :)

YES! Almost too hot! It is does not have auto shut off though. Don't forget and leave it on! (Trust me!) love it though!

These heaters are not very safe in general. I would not leave it for too long without attention. They consume a lot of energy and would be costly to leave overnight. It does have a ball mechanism so if it falls it stops working. It also turns off when the temp. goes up or you seat too close. However, I believe only oil heater would be safe to leave for the night. Less energy, heats well, safe for kids.

I don't find this gets excessively hot to the touch at all. Yes, it does get toasty, but I can touch the heater and not feel burnt. Again, with small children go ahead and put it up on something so they can't get close to it if you are worried. My pets also have no problem with this, they lay in front, although they aren't laying right up against it.

Unfortunately, no. I have accidentally left mine on for long periods of time and luckily have had no steam/burning/problems; but I sure do wish there was an auto shut-off for safety!

nonsense. it's electronic. It will get hot. so does your TV, DVD player, stereo, radio, computer, laptop... The case is good. No problems to report

Yes, the housing does get hot. But we have placed it on our wood deck floor with no problem. I wouldn't leave it in a small enclosed place, or right up against a wall or corner, but in the open on the deck it's been fine. (But I haven't left it out there for more than 1-2 hours so far) I also would not want it around children.

My computer is about 6 months old and doesn't overheat frequently, so it's not the biggest problem for me right now. If you have a laptop that tends to overheat, it may be a problem because the case has no vents. Unless your case is closed, there is a pocket of space at the spine of the case that might let some heat escape. But on occasions where my computer overheats, I usually take it out of the case, so to answer your question: no, overall this case isn't really built to prevent overheating but I haven't experienced much overheating with it on my laptop. Hope that helps!

I would be reluctant to use any heated item for infants or young children due to the risk of overheating and their inability to communicate such. I would encourage you to speak with your pediatrician to be certain.

there is absolutely no danger (in my opinion) these do not get hot, even after being on for hours, you can touch them without any fear of burning yourself much less the wooden cabinets, i am using a 12volt driver/transformer
