Does it get hot? Does the outside of the heater get hot enough to burn her?

It might blister a 1 year old on the 1500 watt setting. The sides are less hot than the top so it might be OK even on that level. An adult would take their hand away after a few seconds with no burn. You could use a lower power setting; this one allows selecting 700/900/1500 watts. On 700 or 900 I doubt it would be a problem.

No it does not get hot. It gets warm but not untouchable. It barely radiates any heat.

It is a heater, yes, it get's hot. It won't burn someone because of the grill front but little fingers might get burned from sticking in between the spaces in the grill. It can be put up high though instead of on the floor.

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.

Peggy, indeed it does. You can pick it up from the top, sides or bottom, where it doesn't even get warm. If you touch the front where the heat emanates, it will not burn you immediately; you would have to hold your hand against it for a second before feeling discomfort, and I imagine it would take several seconds before any harm would occur. I doubt if there's a safer design than this for a portable heater.

I have experienced it getting quite warm. Not so hot that it has burned me however.

Mine doesn't. What does get very hot, though, is the plug and outlet. You can't run this for more than an hour at a time, certainly not overnight, and never using an extension cord. It's plugged into a safety outlet, but draws so much current that it heats the plug up. I'm actually looking for a replacement heater. Hope this helps.

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

Yes it does not get hot on the outside. I would be concerned about using it on the carpet. I have used it daily this winter and it keeps me warm but again does not get hot on the outside.

No it does not get hot. It might get hot because it does not turn itself off. But I did not try that.

No it does not get very hot. I have it mounted on my wall to make my stars light up too!

It does not get hot but I would be cautious just the same. The face where the sir comes out is the hottest.

Yes, the exterior does get quite hot. Top and sides will evaporate a splash of water in seconds.

I have never been burned by mine. I have this heater in a turtle tank and she likes to put her front feet on it and take a nap. I would assume you have one with a defect and should probably remove it immediately just in case.

It burns all the time but it is a good little heater.We have this one in our bathroom and it does great on 1 brick. It is a good thing we have a very big bathroom. If it were smaller the heat would be a bit too much.

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