how hot does the bottom of the warmer get? Is it safe to set on table?

With a tea candle this warmer does not get hot enough that you cannot handle it and it's safe to set on a table, however I place it on a table with a tablecloth covering. Also, it adds an a eloquent touch with an accompanying ceramic teapot, I love it.

I bought this one for my brother, and he hasn't tested it yet.... But I own one that is slightly taller, and its heat is mostly focused upward and on the walls of the warmer. The bottom will get warm, but not piping hot. You might use a coaster with it though, if you're worried.

It is safe Claudia :)We love this tea pot warmer! It keeps tea hot while the hall family is having nice time at the table, brings very special comfort atmosphere, esthetic look. Now every time when we have tea we put the pot on this warmer. Also it became very helpful when family members get cold/flu, so having a tea that does not get cold with honey and lemon relieves symptoms. Moreover, try to add slices of apple or frozen strawberry into your tea pot along with good tea and you will get absolutely amazing taste. Be creative! Fresh lemon, different fruits, frozen berries - every time you will get different tea that is not only tasty but healthy. It is safe Claudia :)We love this tea pot warmer!

My tables are always set with table cloth. I've had no problems with it scorching the cloth.

Yes, it is safe to put it on the table. I use a tea lite candle. The disposable ones in the thin metal holders. I have never had a problem with the bottom getting too hot. If you are uneasy, I liked that suggestion of using a coaster.

I have no problem. As long as you use only those tiny tea candles inside the outside/underneath heat is not very hot.

Yes, it is safe to set on a table. it does not get hot; however, I would use a pad, cloth or some protection for a bare table.

Yes it is totally safe i have two of them and have never had any issues with over heating on a table, all you need is tea lights.

It heats up pretty quickly. I turn it on right before a client comes in ...and the table doesn't feel cold for them. You can set the temp for one of 5 settings and either 1,2, 3, 4 or 8 hours.

The bottom and sides can get extremely hot. I would not use this stove unless resting on a non flamable surface and with anything flamable (even a plastic cup) within 15 inches of it. The head can scorch a table top and melt plastic nearby. It would eventually cause a wooden table to catch on fire.

For safety, you shouldn't allow the bottom burner to remain on. I don't think the bottom of the thermal carafe is designed for the heat.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

The bottom of the unit does not get hot at all. I used it last week on my composite desk. I have fire service experience and won't use it if I felt there was an issue.

I don't know how hot yours used to get, but mine gets very hot. I can only use it on the lowest setting which is one out of four.

Hi. It says to not set on a combustible surface. There is about a 5 inch gap between the bottom of the pit and the ground. I don't think it gets very hot underneath but I would probably put something on top of your table just to be safe.

The bottom of the bowl does get hot. You might put it on patio pavers or something like that for protection. It is worth the purchase.

It is warm to the touch, not hot. I have mine at the bottom of the safe with the mounts kinda wedged under the door lip.

I think it's too hot for a plastic table. The bottom doesn't necessarily get too hot - it sits up on legs but the oven itself gets to 8 or 900 degrees so I don't think that's a great idea. I have mine on a metal rolling cart with a tile top. Hope that helps!I put mine on a metal rolling cart that has a tile top. Hope that helps.

The bottom of the stove gets only slightly warm to the touch but not nearly warm enough to present a danger of igniting a floor. Ours sits on carpet and the carpet never even gets warm. Great little heater. We are very pleased with ours.

The part where the pot is placed will get very hot. Near that area will be hot/warm to the touch - in other words, you won't burn yourself if you need to adjust any dials. I don't find that it generates a tremendous amount of heat around it or in the room such as a heating element on a hot plate/stove. You must still take precaution with children at all times.

Mine got so hot I'm returning it. The cord was hot and countertop oven was very, very hot. In my opinion, this does pose a safety issue. I wasn't going to wait to see if it caused a fire.

I'm not sure how long you intend to let it sit on the warmer I don't recall my candle warmer ever getting that hot. I heat my pot daily in the microwave, so although somewhat delicate it can handle some heat I would think. I hope that helps...

I put something under unit on my wood table but not for the heat. I just don't want the foot to leave any marks when I swivel it open or closed.It gets hot enough to melt chocolate or cheese and sauté onions & peppers. This a wonderful invention.

It is hot but you can adjust the temperature to a lower setting. I use this for buffet servings.
