Does it become hot to the touch?

The unit itself does not get hot but the air that blows out does and that depends on the temperature you set it at. So if using with small children keep temp. At a low number. Hope this helps it is a great heater and I liked the first one so well I got a second.

I should say if you touch it briefly you won't burn yourself but it will make it uncomfortable enough that you want to take your hand away. It works like forced air, a great heater and I've had several different models, this being the best one.

we were given one and it worked so well we bought one for another part of the house.It does not get hot to the touch and the plug doesn't get hot at the wall like the smallers one's people complained about. We love them, good circulating heat and I live in a house up on blocks. Highly recommend it.

It does get a little hot on the grill itself but not too much. Ive owned multiple tower heaters and this is the best one ive had.

The case does not get hot, the front panel gets very warm because that is where the hot air is coming from of course. I have been very happy with my original one. I returned the second one I purchased from Amazon because it lacked the hardware to assemble the base and the box had been previously opened.

I had mine on high for about 5 minutes heating an outside bathroom today...when I walked by, my hand brushed against the front part that the (very hot) heat actually blows out of & it was hot enough that I pulled away ~very~ quickly, but it didn't burn me. When I touched it 30 seconds later to see if it was still hot, it was totally cooled off. It really is the best heater I have owned, but I will be careful not to touch the front part again right after turning it off!

you will be able to feel some heat after it warms up. it is not fan forced air. it will take a few minets to warm up and then the heat rises.

Yes it get warm I guess really had to let it stay on for a while to test it as I never had to touch it until you asked. It wont burn you however. Hope this helps

I do not keep anything that might melt on top of it. It does get quit warm to the touch but not so hot that it could possibly causes your skin to burn.

No, it shouldn't be so hot as to cause worry. Mine just gets warm after a while

Yes it does. If it does get a small amount of oil or something, of course the product itself will be hot. Other than that, this works great.

It is probably as hot as touching the outside of a hot oven. It is HOT, but not to the point it would leave a burn mark.

It wont get too hot, but hot enough to burn anything. This is a very safe and reliable product,and will keep your hands warm through any situation

Normally yes - they are only warm to the touch. But if you leave them on too long they can get hot to the touch. Good luck!

YES! Almost too hot! It is does not have auto shut off though. Don't forget and leave it on! (Trust me!) love it though!

I like it. It does get hot, however, not too hot to be uncomfortable. The benefitsare wonderful.

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

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

It does get hot enough that you wouldn't want to leave your hand on it, but I don't think it would burn you.
