Is it cool to touch the outside when in use?

Yes the outside casing of the unit stays cool. Only part that heats up and it even has warning labels is the top part of the lid where you see the metal on both sides.

So far I've only used mine outside. You might get some grass stuck in there but it's not a big deal.

Cool touch is definitely just what it saids it is. When you touch it,it's cold.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

Not at all, to the contrary, for me it is feels cool, I live in Miami so you can understand. I've been using it for almost 3 months and it's great in every way. I wish this was helpful.

Hi, I keep the cooler in the garage most of the time, I don't leave nice things open to the elements like sun and rain.although I'm sure you can.

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)...

Yes, all of the heater is cool to the touch if it is running as it is now. I touched it everywhere and felt no heat.

Yes. I would not hold my hand in front of the parts that heat up for an extended time, just because I always feel it's better to err on the side of caution, but the entire body of the heater is cool to the touch. The hot parts are well-recessed behind deep fins on the front of the unit.

It is hot on top, naturally, and the sides are warm but not hot. I could lay my hand on the sides without any discomfort.

It's nosy Frm the outside. But not too bad inside. It really cools the house down a lot. We are happy with it. We put it in out living room. Hope this helps

No, although the instructions do say that it's good to have circulation of air to the outside (e.g., by just putting it in a room with a window that is slightly ajar, if possible) to allow the humid air to circulate outside.

By and large it is quite cool unless it is very hot. I usually put a fan on and it is not so bad. Hope this helps.

You can touch it but I would not keep my hand on it. It is insulated but it isn't ceramic. So the heat is there more so than ceramic.

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

Sorry, no. We don't use it much. Ours doesn't stay cool as long as reported. If you have to clean yours it's obviously working for you.

You could use it outside, however I wouldn't. It's very nice, probably too nice for outside
