We love it, heats our 40x40 shop to 70s in no time . It is hot, you can stand about 2-3 feet from it if you are frozen and need to warm up. Very powerful. If it's 30 degrees outside, our shop stays at 70 and the heater only runs 20-30 min every 2 hours

The end glows red and you can't hold your hand 3-4 feet in front of it. I would say, at the heater 400 degrees. 10' away 95-100.

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

The wattage on this heater is very low at 4. You may not be able to feel the heat

If The room Temperature starts at about 60° it will heat the room about 2° an hour. You can feel the heat blow About 2 feet away from it. I use two heaters to heat my thousand square-foot home

Not noticeably. The water coming from the heater takes just a few seconds to come up to temperature.

I don't think so it does get quite hot but the heat seems to be contained with the popmaker and I only feel some mild heat when I am next to it. Uness your heat dectector is very close (within 3-4ft) I think you should be ok.

There is a round exhaust on the back you attach a hose to to vent the heat out. Its about the size of a dryer hose. I use this in my camper and have cut a round opening in the camper wall to attach the hose and expel the heat created by this unit.

It gets warm/hot to the touch when the heater/fan is on (depends on the temperature setting you have it on). Once the unit is turned off, the front grate is warm but not hot. It cools off quickly.

Heat comes from the bottom but the stove is on legs & does not get hot underneath. The fan on the heater blows heat straight out from the front of the heater.

The only heat that comes out is from the front heating elements. If this helps???

Yes very hot but there is a strong fan. The fan takes lots of energy so it need to be plugged in

I do not know the answer to that question. I bought the heater for my brother who lives in a trailer. He says that it works well, has never mentioned how hot it gets.

The heat comes out from the bottom front of the heater. The top remains cool and I run mine 10+ hour's a day in a sunroom. Best purchase I ever made ! I love it.

I'm guessing that you are starting with really cold water. The heater can only raise the temperature up just so much - 40-50 degrees, I don't remember. The trick is to discharge the heated water into your source bucket which heats it up and pretty quick you'll have water coming out of the discharge end way hotter than you'd want to shower in. Hope this helps.

don't really know. We flip our heater on and get in about 2 hours later.....its near 100. Not sure starting temp.

Each "pass" through the heater element (where the flames are) raises the temperature by a certain amount, I would guess about 40 degrees. So if you put water in that is, say, 50 degrees, it will come out at 90 which is a little cool for a shower but not uncomfortable. If you run the water back into the container you originally pumped it out of, it will get up around 130 degrees, which is too hot for shower but OK for dishes. However, it's a gradual process and depends how much water you have in the original basin. What I do is to run it until it is comfortable and then turn off the flame but leave the pump running. I would probably not start with warm or hot water from a tap, just like I wouldn't cook with such water, because by sitting in the pipes or hot water heater it has dissolved sediments and chemicals in it. The colder the water, the less sediment/chemicals in it (except for gases like oxygen). So to the extent that you want to avoid getting corrosion build-up in the heater element it would be best to start with a colder water. However, there is no problem running water of a warm temperature through the heater element, per se, though eventually it could get so hot it might melt the plastic tubing or something like that. By then it would be so hot you couldn't even touch it. Just pay attention and you'll get it just the right temperature.

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.
