Is it a cool touch on the sides and on the top?

The sides are somewhat warm, but the top is definitely hot when it is in use.

Yeah, on the front bottom right corner it has it pressed on. It doesn't look bad or crummy, it adds a bit to the style in my opinion

I'm not sure if you can regard the "low" setting as "cool", but it is the one I use frequently which feels warm. It has two settings, Lo and Hi

Yes but it's kind of on both sides because you can see the design from the other side.

Top, sides and back of heater are cool to the touch. The front where the heat comes from does get very warm.

Yes. The front screen gets hot, but the sides stay cool so you can move it just be careful!

Yes, it is finished on both sides. It is also very slick and matching to our décor.

Hello, Smooth on the top and textured plastic on the sides. I would recommend the mouse.

There is a textured side and a smooth side. I would put the textured side up.

Its all a matter of preference, i dont find it too high, i would say its just like it looks in the picture.

I have the shiny side up on mine but I don't think it matters. I just examined mine closely and it looks fine after the past summer's use. I swear by it. I have live oak trees and they drop something all year round. No more trying to remove the top cover of the A/C with the fan hooked to it.

Yes; the sides are wire mesh so heat radiates out of the sides as well as the top. You feel a stronger flow at the top, though.

no at all ! it feels like an island of coolness, it was the best buy i ever made for the beach, i have given it as gifts, everybody loves it!

There is a slight curvature to the top. The sides slope down just a little. Something small could sit okay on the top.

Yes. The front and back edges are rubbery, but the sides are more shiny and smooth.

Sometimes. I just turn it over to a cooler side. For the comfort and support, it is well worth the effort.
