how hot does heater get
340059
The case itself gets pretty hot when used over a long period of time, you want to keep it at least 3 feet away from anything flamable. In a space 14X24 we use one to keep the building around 60 degrees inside. The building is well isulated and this heater keeps it nice and warm even when it is really cold outside. Its pretty efficent and reliable once you get the thermostat set.

Ditto Dick Hendrix's answer. My woodshop is 16x24 with 10 foot ceilings and open rafters, but entire shop including roof is well insulated. Mine heats up pretty quickly so I do not experience the cold air mentioned in Me's answer. I turn it off at night and inside temp can get down in the 30's and it takes it a while to heat the shop up, but I have to turn it down to maintain 55-60 degree temp which I like, otherwise the shop gets too warm. Outside of heater (shell or case) gets pretty hot. Probably not hot enough to ignite items not in front of it, but I keep mine at least 2 feet from wood, etc. Ditto Dick Hendrix's answer.

It gets very hot! The large heat element looks like a kitchen top coiled element that glows red hot when fully warmed up. The only problem is that when it comes on it blows cold air until its warmed up. It was unpleasantly cold waiting for the elements to reach operating temperature. If it is place away in a closed room it is probably not an inconvenience but if used in a large open space it is.

All protable heaters will get hot, they produce HEAT. This is cool to the touch and only heats up from the front and does a good job. My pets have no trouble around it. If I had a crawling baby, I would hang this unit on a wall also. I also have DeLonghi oil filled radiator DeLonghi TRH0715 Safeheat. It has a metal cover over the main unit. This produces more heat upward and is only warm to the touch. Without the cover they are hot to the touch. About $20.00 more, but worth it.

This is a really amazing heater. It can heat my 400 square foot basement quickly, bringing the temperature up from 58 degrees to 74 degrees with an hour. I purchased and returned many heaters for my basement before finding this model in a local hardware store.

Can't imagine that happening? It's a great little heater, but it doesn't get real hot to the touch anywhere on the outside. At least not hot enough to burn anything or anybody.

It doesn't get very hot on top, but you have to adhere to the safety precautions which clearly state, not to place anything on top of the heater. It would become a fire hazard. You have to also give a 3 ft clearance around the heater, but with all this being said, the heater is definitely worth it. Looks like a piece of furniture, warms so nicely and has the convenience of a remote control. Glad I purchased it. Wished I had one for each room.

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

I use it on a gas water heater, temperature setting in range of 130-140 degrees. Works great so far.

The heater just keeps it so it won't freeze. It does not make the water hot. I think it stays about 32 degrees.

It heats up to 410 degrees (at least mine does). I've had mine for a few years now so it could be possible that newer models do heat up to 450.

up to 90 degrees - - excellent .esp if your main heater is not made to adjust to your desired room heat temp - My daughter and her husband have several of these heaters too

It depends, of course on the ambient temperature. Today, it's about 40 degrees F outside and this heater set on the lowest setting has increased the indoor temperature about 12 degrees. I'm running this in an approximate 30 foot RV with a slide out. When the outside temperature goes much below freezing, (32 degrees F), I use it in the bedroom with the accordion type door closed. At its highest setting, it will reach about 80 degrees in that room.

If you just turn the "purifier" on it's not supposed to heat up. However, I left the purifier on overnight and feel as if the room was about 3 - 4°F hotter. It didn't burn up the room but did make it a little warmer. I still love it, though. It's a really great heater. Heats up very fast!

I believe that the low end is between 36 and 40°. I am using the heater in the same way that you are planning to so if I'm wrong we are both in trouble.

No it just has 1-10 and the heat increases as the number increase. I like my heater, it has preformed well.

We have 3 heaters and the cords get warm but not hot. We found the cords on the newer heaters we bought this fall don't get as warm as the one we bought last year.
