Does the outside gets too hot?

Yes! The black area of the outer bowl gets warm but the metal rim gets extremely hot. Just use it with care.

It gets pretty warm on the outside. But, if you need to move it, use the handles - that's what they're for and they don't get hot.

By the outside, I assume you mean the metal shell that the crock slips into - of course it does get a LITTLE hot but that is to be expected ( I wouldn't be feeling of it for 15 -20 seconds) but just touching it it briefly shouldn't hurt... (that kinda heat)...

Nope, I haven't found that it gets too hot to handle. It gets warm but not unbearable. I have used it on both the low and medium settings. Hope that helps!

I don't think it gets super hot underneath--but the sides and even the top get pretty hot. I'd be wary of surrounding it too closely but so long as the air can circulate well, it should be okay.

It seems to run very hot, I could almost fry an egg on it! Btw- it's nit supposed to be exposed to direct rain.

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.

No. I have had this unit for almost two years. It has performed as expected and I have not noticed any excessive heat.

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.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

The exterior does not get real hot. I have never worried about leaving the room with it on.

It does get hot, I would suggest a small fan and vent like on a computer tower

If you mean like really hot such as over say 110 degrees then I'd say 'no' .

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

yes, just make sure the temp difference between outside and inside isn't great. Like is shouldn't be freezing outside

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

I live in the desert where it routinely gets above 100 degrees. I haven't had any problems with the bench being too hot to sit on.

The top, sides and back do not. But, the front where the heating elements are and the air blows out does get pretty hot.

It does get very hot since you can't put a lot of sand in the bottom because of the lattice sides.
