Is it hot to the touch when on? Do you have to mount it or can it just sit on the floor?

No its not hot to the touch. Ours is mounted next to the floor with the brackets that came with it. I don't know if you'd want it setting directly on the floor. I swear it is magic....Our towel rack is behind our door and there is no window nearby so our bath towels were always damp - now they are completely dry. I have no idea how it does what it does but my husband said we had one of these in a boat we used to have to keep things dry.

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's not hot to the touch, but it is rather warm. You don't have to mount it because it comes with stands that hold it off the bottom of the safe.

Yes, it is hot when fully up to temp - you wouldn't want to grab and hold for long, but could pick up long enough to reposition. It includes 2 clip-on stands to elevate slightly from floor, which is desirable to help achieve better heat convection.

The only noise is from the fan and it is the volume of a quiet computer fan. I have the 1000 and 3000 watt versions of these and as far as getting hot, i have the 3000 watt version of this mounted on the wall behind my seat and it doesn't get very hot. Warm but not hot. That's with my seat slid back against it too, so short of putting it in an enclosed box you should be ok.

Yes, I'm currently using mine on the floor. The heat comes from the top. Its really neat. I have got a lot of compliments from guest who visit my home.

Due to it's 600 lumens it does get pretty hot. Usually I do not leave it on long or keep hand around the bezel. Only to temporarily subdue the intensity do I have hand there.

You can not touch the housing. Extremely hot. I would not place this on a wood floor.

The bottom of the unit does not get hot at all. I used it last week on my composite desk. I have fire service experience and won't use it if I felt there was an issue.

The unit feels hot by the side vent. Sitting behind it on the couch should not be uncomfortable. Let me add that once the unit is turned off it cools very quickly.

It does not get hot and it is not uncomfortable to keep your hands or feet underneath it. That being said, I would not purchase this particular lamp as I would have chosen one with a dust cover and as flexible as it is, it is not good for working on things low to the ground.

I have mine on top an area floor rug. I do watch it to ensure it doesn't get hot but so far it's been fine.

Mine doesn't get that hot or even warm. It has a small cooling fan that isn't loud. I haven't mounted mine in a vehicle but under a front seat might be a good spot. You want to keep the 12 volt cables as short as possible, especially if you want to run close to the rated output.

I will share that his unit gets very hot on top. This is throne area of disappointment compared with the under cabinet model I had that I replaced it for. It is because of the heat that I have not pursued creating an under cabinet holder for it to siting.

I think so, it is definitely warm to touch. I stand on mine while working at a table, so I am in direct contact. It sometimes gets borderline too warm after being on it awhile.

Nothing gets hot on this, you can put your hand on the top or front while it is on and nothing. Love it. Don't have to worry about pets or kids getting hurt. Mine sits on my carpet and no problem

You could set it on the floor in you like. It's a little small for the floor. It's really made to be wall mounted. It does have a flat bottom. I have one sitting on the floor until I get some time to wall mount it with another one.

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

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.

It gets pretty warm, but it won't burn you immediately. I can touch it but it's not comfortable. I've got it mounted on a wall and it doesn't burn the wall behind it.
