Does it stay cool to touch?

I wouldn't say "cool" to the touch no. The heating element does not glow red and is behind the grill so you can't come in contact with it anyway. But it puts out some heat so the plastic grill can get warm. Never enough to cause a burn of any kind though. It's very safe. I have no little kids anymore, but would not worry about them getting near it if I did.Hope that helps.AE

I've had mine for over three years; my three year old will touch it and NO she's never burned herslef.

The tower I purchased operated for approximately 1 1/2 hrs. It gave off fumes and body became hot to touch. Instructions read not to send back to Amazon nor to manufacturers - it is in a room still in need of repair. Guess I'll get it fixed at some point. Machine is cute and price was right, but altogether a headache.

The back, top, and sides stay cool but the hot air coming out of the front is quite hot. Once you shut it off the plastic grills on the front stay hot for a while.

Peggy, indeed it does. You can pick it up from the top, sides or bottom, where it doesn't even get warm. If you touch the front where the heat emanates, it will not burn you immediately; you would have to hold your hand against it for a second before feeling discomfort, and I imagine it would take several seconds before any harm would occur. I doubt if there's a safer design than this for a portable heater.

Yes, we have one at home and one at a cat shellter where there are 14 cats in the room. Of course if you are standing in front of it, you feel the heat but the unit stays cool. The one at the shelter is on all the time, especially since its been so cold outside. Ours at home only runs at night upstairs in the bedroom. We love it!

My iClever has always stayed cool to the touch. If it is getting hot, I would inquire with the seller.

Yes, the unit is cool to touch. It is not like a regular heater. Where the heat comes directly from the unit is not that hot as to burn you like a conventional heater.

It is warm to the touch, and can be handled by the sides of the toaster with no problems - however, I would not classify it as "cool to the touch" after using.

Barely noticeable. I have not noticed the machine getting overly hot either. It seems to stay quite cool to the touch

Not that I can tell. I would imagine a cool pad would do enough but overall no. It is normal..

It is cool to touch everywhere except for the vent the heat comes out of. Works great.

I keep it near me at night , not underneath the whole time so I don't know how long it would stay cool if it's in direct contact with your body but it stays cool thru the night and I just have it there to grab & use as needed and it's always cool.

Yes, the handle stays cool. I can't remember a time when it got hot. After heating and the cover still on, steam can escape around the part of the cover over the handle. Remove the cover after heating and there is no problem.

No, the fibers keep it cool. You have to turn it several times during the night. It isn't perfect, but it feels cool for several minutes.

No. It stays body temperature, very comfortable and in the winter we use a heated mattress pad. We live in a motor home.

Yes, it actually does. It's a little thick to get use to but once youre use to it yes, it's warmer and in the summer will keep it cooler. I recommend it.

It stays hot but cools to room temperature fairly quick. It was not heavy duty!

I don't recall it being cool to the touch. I sent mine back because I insured in thru Square Trade.

Yes, but it really does not get hot. It is the only feature that isn't 100% great. I personally don't mind that it does not get hot.
