does the top and outside become hot to the touch when the oven is on

Yes it does. The front is not too bad, but if you leave something like a plastic wrapped loaf of bread on top it will melt the bag.

Best bet: put a standard 16"x11" silicone baking sheet on the top to insulate against the heat. Best price: "#1 Rated Reusable Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat / Liner" by Fugami for $11 Prime (you get two!).

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.

The outside does get hot as the product is stainless steel. I typically put a cutting board under the product just in case. The product did not produce enough heat to worry about heating the room versus the oven.

Generally the exterior does get too hot to touch and you could burn yourself. I say generally, because when the thermostat or duty cycle control (not sure which they use) cycles the heating element off to maintain the appropriate cooking temperature, the exterior temperature does drop if I remember correctly. But generally, its too hot to touch. The handles never get hot.

I am not sure about that. I have only used my on the stove top and placed it in the oven to stay warm. Sorry.

The oven is very well insulated so the short answer is no. In fact, the oven stays warm inside for a very long time after it is shut-off. NOTE: Any appliance that generates heat will warm up the area around it but this oven is small and well-insulated so the impact is negligible.

Very little. It gets hot to the touch. Ours began malfunctioning after about 8 months of use. I would not recommend this oven.

I don't use the top burners only the oven portion and it seems to work well. I have used it several time for baking and keeping things warm.

Yes! Definitely gets hot to the touch. I was surprised because a number of reviewers indicated that it was only warm, etc.

Yes it does, although when using the upper rack the results are disappointing. I am on my second oven since purchasing the initial oven in February. There is a significant problem with even temperature, especially when using the convection mode. I now do all of my food on the lower rack and on regular bake. Haven't used this oven for either toasting or broiling, it's basically used as my second oven. Can't hold a candle to my old DeLonghi!

The sides and door get warm. The top gets hot which is normal for similar toaster ovens.I've owned several toaster ovens over the years, but this is the best!

Yes. I set the oven to 375. The top reached about 180 deg. The left side was about 20-30 deg less than the top. The right side (where the controls are) just got warm. Hope this info helps.

The metal unit does get hot but haven't tried touching the door. I use the handle and that is never hot. It does not heat up surrounding areas. I have a window above the oven that I open when in use, which is pretty much every day. I really like it a lot.

I never did but I don't see why not it is an oven, basically. Don't let it touch the top housing... I hope this helps.

Yes,in particular, the glass is hot enough to burn........but note that the handle extends out from the front of the oven and provides something of a preventative barrier........we do LOVE this oven

The outside of the oven does get warm, but not terribly hot. The door gets hot, but the handle stays cool.

The outside is warm to the touch, but it does not get hot and I do not notice the kitchen heating up.
