it gets very hot, sides, top and front. the back gets extremly hot. the back has stops to keep it away from the wall but i would advise to keep it a little further away.

Yes, it is hot, even with the cover that it came with. I find myself tossing a turning at night because I overheat on the "bottom side."

It is steam so it does get hot! If that is your only question I hope I have answered it. Just know that you will have to spend a while circling the hair over n over to get the job done properly

When I sit in mine the side and back walls to get hot, not instantly burn you hot but, if you rest your back on them for a few seconds it does become uncomfortable. I did find the most effective way to use this is to put a heavy towel over the head hole and sit Indian style inside the sauna with the foot heater in between your feet and rear. The odor will dissipate over time but it becomes more pronounced when in use.

It gets pretty hot all the sides except the control button side. Front glass is extremely hot. I can touch top and sides for few seconds. Yes, I have it under the cabinets and there is about 5 inches gap. Top is hot to touch for more than few seconds but it's not that hot that it can damage anything few inches above it.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

Mel, good question. The case/computer does get hot but I have not experience any overheating. Because I have the same concern, just recently I started removing the upper back cover to allow air to flow around my laptop when in use for a long period of time. You might consider this an annoyance but I love the design of the case and how it protect my laptop.

No, it's not hot on top. We had our Blueray player on top and it was fine. We love it, it heats our 600 sq foot basement. We're really happy with it, so far.

Yes, it does get significantly hot. I had it on the counter under a cabinet with a 4-6 inches gap. On cooking something that required long time (I believe it was a whole turkey breast), I smelled wood burning and it turned out it was burning the cabinet above. Fortunately I discovered it before it caused any damage or even produce any smoke, but it could easily have turned out a lot worse. Lesson learned, and it no longer sits under anything when in use, nor would I put anything on top of it.

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

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

it does not state how hot it gets. It has three heat settings high medium and low and an air only option

I think it heats all around. I use it for family get togethers and I love it. I don't believe it gets real hot on the outside though, so that makes it real nice to set on counter tops. Hope this helps your question.

Depends on how close you hold it to your head. It gets plenty hot, and puts out a lot of air

The cabinet surfaces do not get hot during operation. Except for front and back, it's all in a wooden cabinet. We have a 2 1/2 yr old in the house and have never had a problem. Only place heat comes out is from vent in front. Top, sides, back and front (except for the vent itself) and bottom are all room temperature.

Not much on the back and sides. The front is glass so there should be heat. If you want to change the cooking time, or temperature, it is minute by minute or degree by degree- with a dial. Some idiot was on the design team.

It does not get hot on the sides. slightly warm at the top on the sides. The very top does get a little hot but not hot enough to burn.
