Is the floor heated? Or just the walls?

MANUFACTURER - The walls and floor are heated. The floor heating is under a protective layer, so it is not as obvious to some users. The heated floor is one of the biggest advantages of ThermalStrike technology compared to hot air systems - you can place items directly on the floor without worrying about air passages and such.

Just the sides have a heating element the bottom and the top are insulated the Styrofoam

Sorry for the late reply. The instrument is heated on the walls, the bottom is not heated. But nothing can escape from the bottom and regardless of where you put the item (even on the floor) in the device it gets heated up to 165-170 degrees. I tested it with my wireless thermometer. Honestly this device was so helpful for our family during that tough time dealing with the bed bugs.

I think it's just the walls. I'm away from home now or I could look for you, since I set it up before I left so I could throw everything in the moment I get home. I really like this thing - I know it gets up to the temp to kill them because I tested it with my own thermometer. Even though it is supposed to take only a few minutes at the temp they said kills the bugs and eggs, I left mine in for hours to be sure. None of my stuff was harmed, and I have no bedbugs, so I'm assuming it worked!

I heats the floor but warms the air. The temperature sensor under the floor is where it receives its reading.

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

I've seen no damage underneath. The top and sides do get very hot. I keep the back of mine away from the wall.

Yes, and the floors are also covered (the bedroom is carpeted, there is tile and wood throughout the rest of the house.) The wall-paper is so cute!

Yes. As someone already mentioned, the loss of heat through the exterior wall indicates a serious insulation issue. It can't keep anything hot if the heat is escaping.

I have used this in carpeted ares and the floor does not get hot enough to be an issue

Everything on this unit is push button on,temp set. The hot air blows from the upper grid as seen in picture. There is an overhang from the hardwood in casement. This is a beautiful piece of furniture. I have only had the temp to 70 deg. It does not get hot to touch. Only that temp of air blowing.

It has a reflective layer inside. So any heat put out by your pet is reflected back into it, instead of into the floor. It does not generate it's own heat.

Manual states in should be on a level surface or wall mounted. I use mine on the floor. This heater is advertised for bathroom use due to bathroom safe plug. Manual is available online if you want to review.

The bottom of the stove gets only slightly warm to the touch but not nearly warm enough to present a danger of igniting a floor. Ours sits on carpet and the carpet never even gets warm. Great little heater. We are very pleased with ours.

I have mine on hardwood floor, but I haven't noticed the floor getting very warm underneath. The flames look surprisingly real, I was very happy. Of coarse if you are standing or sitting right in front of it they do not look real. I have a very small bedroom. My stove is on the opposite wall from my bed, maybe about 4.5 or 5 feet and it looks amazing.Hope this helps

You should hear the steam, but not necessarily see it. The floors don't get wet, the heat dries them pretty quick. Make sure you push the button all the way to the top.

The heat won't radiate through the subfloor AND tile. It needs to be on top of the subfloor.

The floor under will get damp. You can put towels under and the floor should be fine.

The wall behind ours (sheet rock) doesn't feel warm to the touch, so heat probably wouldn't be a problem.

it gets warm, but not hot. We have it in our Kids bedroom and have never had a safety concern
