Is it cool to the touch?

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

Of course the area that the heat is coming out of is hot, but the rest of the heater is cool to the touch. I love this heater. You can put it right next to the wall with no issues. It really heats up a room. You will not be disappointed. Two thumbs up.

I would say it is mostly cool touch on the black surfaces. The chrome parts not so much. What's amazing is how quickly it heats up, then cools down. By the time I know the toast can be handled, the unit is cool enough to move back on the counter top. I was reluctant to get this unit because of the electronics, (I liked old fashioned toasters) but the electronics make for a much better, faster performance, in my opinion. I'm glad I got it. I replaced a commercial unit that was way hotter but similar in design. This one is way better and cooler to touch.

Yes. I bought this for my wife during her pregnancy, and she would agree with that assessment. It is certainly cool at the beginning of the night, but it is no longer cool to the touch by 3 to 4 hours later.

Outside is cool to the touch, except for the window at top. That gets hot enough that you don't want to touch it.

Hi...I'm not sure what you mean by cool. You can certainly tell that it is on, but I don't think it is anything overly hot. I keep mine right next to a wall outlet, but when I use it, I just slide it out a bit. The temps. of the unit really are not a problem for me.

Not at all... Ours is on our deck and there is no heat under it that we can feel! We love it so much!

I have purchases (5) of these refurbished. All run cool to the touch, maybe becoming slightly warm when there is heavy traffic for a while. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

It's always cool to the touch and does not get hot or warm at all under full load for me

No. It keeps me pretty cool. There are also vents you can open to circulate some more air.

It is cool to touch. Its a good heater for our bonus room which is big and didnt run up the electric bill too bad! It would be ok with kids

Yes. The front screen gets hot, but the sides stay cool so you can move it just be careful!

The sides and front stay relatively cool. I could barely tell that it was on when I touched it to find out.

It is cool to the touch everywhere except the front where the heat comes out naturally. But the top and sides are cool/room ambient temperature.

Not at all. It's actually very cool to the touch. We live in Arizona and we've used it in summer and cooler temps and it always is dry and cool to the touch. Perfect for beach or grass.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

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).
