Does the counter top (or whatever you sit it on) get overly hot and could scorch it? (thanks in advance!)

I've seen no damage underneath. The top and sides do get very hot. I keep the back of mine away from the wall.

No it doesn't. Mine sits on a granite counter top and I haven't seen any discoloration and I'm not sure I would.

I have not had a problem with overheating. I do notice the scorching on the bottom of the pot, not the deck, but it is just oil from the popping process and can be cleaned with vigorous rubbing.

I've checked when using, the bottom of toaster and my countertop doesn't get hot. BUT: the top of toaster gets hot. So, I make sure I remove anything that was on top before using.

I would not recommend this be under a counter. It produces quite a bit of heat, and has a difficult time maintaining temp if ambient temp raises.

Mine is not under a counter or near anything else and it got too hot when I had it too close to the wall (about 1"). I pulled it out three inches and it works great. I'm remodeling my kitchen and plan to put it under a counter but not in a cabinet so there is airflow around the back and sides.

Mine has never has done that. I noticed it gets very hot in use. I would call the manufacturer or check on their support page.

We had it on for most of the day and evening and it wasn't getting too warm. The back is probably the warmest but it never got hot hot. It was sitting on a table with nothing around it or up close to it but as long as it isn't smooshed between things I doubt it would overheat.

I have our CSO-300 underneath the wood paneling of our cabinetry (although there is open space around it). The top of the oven does get warm to the touch but I have had no damage from either the high heat or the steam option to date. Our countertops are concrete and that is what it is sitting on. I have noticed some water drops on the countertop from the steam option. I just make sure every time I use that option to check underneath the drip tray and wipe if need be.

We have had no problem at all with it getting hot.. as far as stable is concerned....I do recommend that you hold onto the thing when it's starts...lol. it's loud. And it WILL move about. We use ours almost everyday .. Worth it...We are really happy, we joke about the noise of it though......we use ours primarily for juicing....

I have and this gets as hot. We have had no problems with it and use it at least once a week.

I use mine daily on my kitchen's smallest gas burner (on low) and the shelf does get hot. I have used a silicone measuring cup on it, and that warms up but doesn't melt. So now I use a metal measuring cup to catch to coffee and then pour it into my mug. Hope that helps.

It is made of glass so it would get hot quick but the glass is quite thick and should hold up well. The top is plastic though so I don't know about how that would do.

My answer is going to be a bit different than what I've read by others. My intent is not to be controversial but to err on the side of caution. Mine sits on a counter top with a space of 10" from the top of the oven to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet. Either side of the oven has at least 6" of space. The bottom sits on the counter top on the units four mounted feet. Broiling a steak, chops, etc. is doing it's job at 500 degrees so if the unit didn't get hot then I doubt it would be doing its job. Naturally heat rises and disperses to the top and to each side. These would be areas I would not choose to touch while it's on for obvious reasons. I've had mine now for nearly a year without any problems. Giving proper attention by allowing the unit to have ventilation above and to each side; you shouldn't have any issues with heat.

I think it heats all around. I use it for family get togethers and I love it. I don't believe it gets real hot on the outside though, so that makes it real nice to set on counter tops. Hope this helps your question.

I have the table top grill, love it, and it does get hot, so stay with your food until you "get to know" your new grill! (Not so hot that it's a problem sitting on our poly something table!) So sorry that I wasn't able to help answer your specific question!
