Is it cool to the touch outside

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

It gets warm but not hot. I have pushed it back(out of the way) on the counter shortly after use and it was definitely not too hot to touch.

It gets hot but not hot enough to burn. I do not think it would be a good idea to be trying to move a pot of hot oil around even if the outside of the pot is cool.

Although, there's a small gap between the oil canister & the rather thin stainless-steel body, it's not cool when touched - specially when deep frying.Touching the outside - while deep frying - may not singe your fingers (e.g.) like when you touch a kettle while boiling water - is still hot.So, just don't touch it outside while deep-frying or after you had just used it (and had unplugged the unit).I use peanut oil & it takes about 2 hours or more for the oil to cool down...then, you can touch it all you like!!!

No! It stays cool while my legs are on it. It feels really good on my legs, knees and especially my back!

It is not too hot. Protection from sun is my priority. I will wear it at the golf course in Fort Myers.

Not at all! Let it rain all day and night and you will remain cool. Great unit enjoy.

It's as cool as the water you put in it, as far as my experience goes..it definitely is not warmer.

It is fine outdoors...or in if you want. I have owned ours for several years and it still works great outside in Chicago year round.

It's awesome. I stand under or near it all through winter here in Denver on the back deck. It throws off a lot of heat. Great for a late autumn get together.

It does warm up, but certainly not enough to burn you. Basically, it is a bit warmer to the touch.

No not at all but the breeze is pretty soft i was thinking it would be stonger if u been in wind conditions in LA that what it feels like

That I don't know. Mine is on my covered porch. It does get some sun, wind and rain but not out in the open.

yes! Its very cool and light to wear since its made with very thin material. Plus the fan doesn't let it heat up (if you live on a tropical island like me this would be an issue).

We use this outdoors, under cover on a patio and built in . We live in a warm climate....so far its fine...about a year old

Yes it is so light! If you take it outside and there is a breeze make sure you have something to hold it down on the inside like a cooler.

I would say it does. It also makes the air about 10 degrees cooler underneath.

The exterior gets warm to the touch, but not extremely hot (at least not in my estimation -- possibly someone else might find it to be objectionably hot).

It is fine to go outside. Mine has been out there for over a month and it is working great

Jody, yes, the entire tower is cool to the touch. Obviously, if you keep your hand in front where the heat emits, your hand will get hot. I've had my ATH-1 on for the entire winter (it's heating the finished basement) and the tower is cool to the touch.- joe
