Is the metal exterior at all insulated or does it get very hot?

According to my Daughter-in-law and son (whom were given this as one of numerous:) shower gifts - it's a fabulous crock. I have one as well similar and would say the same! It gets no hotter than any other crock I've had and our kids have never said anything to the contrary except they love it and use it daily. I hope that somehow helps.

No it is not insulated. It is a sealed garbage can with a hot plate on the bottom.

barely warm, it has air slots on both sides and it does not feel like metal , but hard plastic. The metal part is in the middle.

The air immediately exiting the fan can be extremely hot. But the plastic grill itself does not get warm. Very good heater.

The exterior gets warm to the touch, but not extremely hot (at least not in my estimation -- possibly someone else might find it to be objectionably hot).

It is not insulated, if there is moisture I haven't notice it, but I'm sure there should be, but it should be minimal, because I haven't seen any dripping or water running under the counter top, mine is in an outdoor area, where the BBQ cabinets are. I have it hooked to a drainage, for the melted ice. For what I need it, I recommend it.

I would consider it moderately insulated. I used it this season and it didn't get too hot and our season in Colorado was hitting 60+ degrees during the day

The outside gets hot, but the door handle is safe to touch. You do need to be careful when removing pans and dishes as there is not much clearance room if you use an 9x13 pan. The cooking times and temps are about the same for a regular large oven. I roast, bake, toast and love this little oven. I also unplug it after use, but you don't need to. The counter top and other items nearby don't seem to be affected by the external heat. It heats up very quickly and cools down quite fast.

I have not noticed it getting very warm on the outside. I simply paced in on my countertop uner a corner cabinet and have had no problems.

The outside becomes warm but not hot like the stainless steel outsides will do.

On a very sunny day it will get pretty hot, but any metal would. It seems to remain cooler than some metals do, to me.

Well, it is a plastic seat rather than metal, so it doesn't get incredibly hot. My mom has hers under a pair of trees so it gets partial/sun/shade.

Yes it is insulated but I can't attest to its ability to keep stuff warm or cold because I haven't tried it yet. I have just been using it as a little snack pouch

It is warm to the touch, not hot. I have mine at the bottom of the safe with the mounts kinda wedged under the door lip.

No it is not. It is just like any other hot water or coffee pot. The metal is not insulated and remains the temp of the water. The handle remains very cool.

Yes, it is insulated and holds heat very well. I use it in Minnesota in the winter cold. I would guess the walls are 5/8 to 3/4 inch thick. I don't know what the insulated packing is but it looks like insulation you would put in your attic. It does not appear to be foam. This unit is far better at holding heat that plain metal walled units.

No it's not insulated. Cold air and hot air can still get in. Regardless. I LOVE this fan.
