Does the bottom of the unit get too hot for direct placement on countertop? Thanks!

No. Placement on countertop is just fine. However be careful - the shelf/rack has no stop, so if you pull the rack out too far - Splash

It's on our granite kitchen countertop.I know the bottom gets warm and there are heavy duty feet so bottom probably does get hot but there are those feet.

Hi Julie, the unit has 4 feet on it that are about an inch high so it keeps the heat from directly touching the counter. We haven't had any problem with it sitting on the counter. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does get significantly hot. I had it on the counter under a cabinet with a 4-6 inches gap. On cooking something that required long time (I believe it was a whole turkey breast), I smelled wood burning and it turned out it was burning the cabinet above. Fortunately I discovered it before it caused any damage or even produce any smoke, but it could easily have turned out a lot worse. Lesson learned, and it no longer sits under anything when in use, nor would I put anything on top of it.

We have not had any problems with the unit and it does not get HOT on the outside, only warm to the touch. We however are not the manufactorers and they might have a differing opinion.

Yes. I never put it back in the storage location until it is back to room temp as a precaution. But, if you wanted to move it around on the counter, no problem. Obviously, near the top slots, heat escapes and the metal does get warm.

I would not recommend this be under a counter. It produces quite a bit of heat, and has a difficult time maintaining temp if ambient temp raises.

i wouldn't want to answer for legal reasons but i do have mine sitting on a rug and the bottom does not get hot at all.

It really doesn't get hot on the exterior. I adore this convection oven and use it almost every day. Have never felt that it is hot on the outside, in fact I keep a small metal decoration on top and it is no problem. Used up my first one in four years, and now on to my second. LOVE, love, love this oven.

The outer pot can get a little warm. However, the bottom is metal and definitely gets hot (that's where the heating element is), so when I use mine I try to set it on my stove, which has a glass cooktop. I try to keep it off my countertop. The cord isn't very long, so if you can't put the Crock-Pot on a heatproof surface, you may want to buy a large hot pad of some type to use under it.

I have read users complaining of heat, both here and on the Apple site - I have not experienced such a problem - The TC gets warm, but it isn't extreme heat, if you ask me. My placement is a glass shelf, in an entertainment system with about six inches of space above it, open on one side, 5 inches of space back side, 2 inches of space with Mac Mini on other side. I haven't read how / where others experiencing heat problems have placed their units.

Personally i wouldn't as it was designed for countertop use. It has vents on the back side and a fan on the bottom. The unit will overheat if constricted.

Depends how tall your counter is - i think it lists the measurements. It also needs to vent - needs some space to blow out the hot (warm) air that is created when it is running so it could not be a tight fit. Also, while it cools, I would prefer it was colder.

I only use mine on my counter top. I think it might pick up too much heat from being next to working burners.

I have only placed something really hot on it one time but grabbed a mat to put under it. For that short time it didn't hurt it but I always put a mat under my hot items on my counters also. But very easy to do. I really like mine but I needed the extra space.

The unit may get warm not hot never had an issue with it being to hot on the sides I would recommend this fryer I just used it last night again and loved it!!!!!!!!!

No the way it is designed there is an airspace between the SS exterior wall and the cooking vessel which is heated from the bottom. The lid will get quite hot but the sides are warm that is normal I think.

the heat blows out of the bottom underside. the heater itself does not get all that hot. it is a nice unit and we like it, but with toddlers, I think you might want to put it on a pedestal of some sort away from little fingers.
