Is this heater 'hot' to the touch because toddlers will be in the same room?

Toddlers should be kept away from ALL space heaters, including this one. The heat blows out from the bottom front of the unit, and could easily hurt a child.

It's not hot to touch but the fan is at the bottom. I wouldn't be touching where the heat is coming out at the bottom. Maybe you better just run the central heat or whatever you have to avoid potential problems.

the heat blows out of the bottom underside. the heater itself does not get all that hot. it is a nice unit and we like it, but with toddlers, I think you might want to put it on a pedestal of some sort away from little fingers.

Your best bet to try to find one that hangs like a flat screen on the wall. If you find a clearance one with free shipping and handling, you are paying for a safer situation.

From my recollection it gets warm but not hot. The heater blows out the bottom of the unit.

I bought it from Target too and its thermostat is not reliable. I set it at 70, put it high where the warmest and it keep running even the room is at 80, I even put another thermostat next to it to make sure - But it keep running. I would not suggest it for baby room at all.

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 the box is cool to the touch just not the very front where hot air blows out,,I have a little one here he has never bothered it,,good luck works very well and I like that you can program it to come on and off as needed,I set mine to come on a hour before we get up in the morning,,

Absolutely not!! It is a small personal heater to have to get you toasty in a cool room. But I obviously disagree with a few of the other answers.

I've had mine on for about 45 minutes now and it is just warm to my touch. I would say it doesn't get "hot," and can safely be used at kids' bedside, but probably should not be used under the covers, as kids sometimes like to do. I really like mine because of its safety and brightness. My only (and small) complaint is that I wish it had an on-off button embedded in the dimmer because it takes a full turn of the dial to turn it off and on.

Of course the area that the heat is coming out of is hot, but the rest of the heater is cool to the touch. I love this heater. You can put it right next to the wall with no issues. It really heats up a room. You will not be disappointed. Two thumbs up.

There are 2 temps, high or low. I only use the heaters in the bathroom as needed and don't keep them on longer than an hour. They have never overheated, but I wouldn't trust any electric heater left alone for a long time. Excellent heater

Yes, this is an awesome heater. I have a hugs living room and it heats everything just fine. Make sure to point it in your direction to heat you up faster, the rest of the room will follow.

Yes it is. It's a great heater. I let my son use it last year so he had some extra heat for my Grandaughter. If it would fall over ,it shuts off. It's quiet. It rotates back and forth. Make just a little turning sound. Nothing that bothered anyone.Also used it in one of my offices that has no heat at all. I was very pleased. Plus has a filter witch is easy to clean. Hope this helps.

I would say yes. That's the thing about this heater-- it's not designed to heat the whole room; sitting in front of this thing is like sitting in a warm, sunny spot.

That really depends on your perspective :) It gets hot, but in my opinion not hazardous hot. If I put my hand on it and held it there, it will burn. The reality is, I will put my hand on it, my brain will say, HOT and I will take my hand away, no harm done. If a toddler fell against it, they would know it was hot and be able to move away with no harm done, if they fell against it and stayed there, then yes not good.Does that help? Hot enough to be hot, but not hot enough for instant injury.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

In my opinion yes. I leave it on all the time. In fact I turned it on this morning and left for work. However you should read all instructions when you get it as there are safety precautions. Also I wouldn't leave it on around small children, toddlers and crawlers, as it does get very hot to the touch.

It would keep the luch warm for them if it was packed in the morning. The only problem is the unit is very hot when it comes out of the micro wave so I would not wanting a 5 or 6 year old touching them at that time Older kids OK or it would be OK at lunch time or even at morning break
