Does the glass or metal around the fireplace get hot? AND does it heat up the electronic on the stand itself, or do the elctronic stay cool?

No. The glass, top and sides are all built to be tolerant for electronics because it's designed to be a TV stand. You can adjust the level of the temperature. We keep ours on low and it heats our fairly large TV room. We are very happy with this product.

Thank you for your inquiry. The glass and outer part of the TV sand do not get hot to the touch. This is how you are able to have the TV sit on the stand.

Yes it's supposed to get hot. It's where the amp is housed. Not a problem. It was designed this way.

A warming shelf is included as is the stand. This grill works great and has a large cooking area to grill on. We have owned other electric grills but this one has been the best. It cooks steaks, roasts, burgers evenly. It is not like cooking on a gas grill though but I do not think any electric grill is. The only thing I wish this grill had are wheels for easier movement. I hope this helps. Theresa

It's plastic, so it doesn't disapate heat in the same way metal would. The middle of the plastic top surface is concave. Most laptop fans are in an area where it would blow hot air out and into this channel. In that way it disapates heat. It also depends a bit on how tall the rubber feet pads are on your laptop. The higher the more clearance there is for air flow. I am using a MacBook. Most of the heat is disapated at the bottom of the screen area. However it works well enough to keep it cool. Most lap desks have similar issues with my Mactop. This is the best plastic surface lap desk I have found. My lap stays cool enough. After long use, my lap feels warmer, but there is padding on the bottom, so I would expect my lap to be a bit warmer just because of the insulating vale alone.

it gets really hot actually. mine melted some plastic when it blew. My TV died about 3 days after I installed the latest blub. (Power Supply) most important thing it to keep the fan in the back clean and clear. It can cool better!

Obviously the top Metal will be heated while toasting but the Plastic is not heated.. Keep kids away from all appliances for safety reasons.

After about a month of using this heater we are satisfied with it's operation. It does get rather hot to the touch on the top of the unit (not skin burning hot, but similar to hot ceramic coffee cup hot...you don't get a blister, but holding it for long isn't pleasant!) The plastic sides are literally cold to the touch, and the front (warm) are not an issue. Having a 2 year old touch the top would not be an unpleasant experience for her, but it's hot enough to remind her not to touch it. Having 3 kids, we were extremely finicky about what they had in their rooms. This heater in my opinion is probably the safest type of heater to use in that environment given it's a "heater". Most portable fan heaters with metal grills are much hotter, and even the plastic grilled heaters with metal elements we use get hotter to the touch on the front. Hope this helps!

It remins pretty cool. The one on my desk does not add any heat to my environment. I love it!

Except for the area around the slots, the toaster is shiny black plastic. the solar area is metal and does get hot.

I would say it is mostly cool touch on the black surfaces. The chrome parts not so much. What's amazing is how quickly it heats up, then cools down. By the time I know the toast can be handled, the unit is cool enough to move back on the counter top. I was reluctant to get this unit because of the electronics, (I liked old fashioned toasters) but the electronics make for a much better, faster performance, in my opinion. I'm glad I got it. I replaced a commercial unit that was way hotter but similar in design. This one is way better and cooler to touch.

When it is on, the iron is heated. It does not overheat to my knowledge or experience.

Mine does not, but sometimes it gets really hot to the point I am concerned that it may melt the plastic case or cause a fire

I just ran it through a cycle on middle setting. The top gets hot to the touch as does any toaster. The sides stay cool till about halfway through the cycle and they then get a very slight warming. The top of the sides get hot to the touch as they are soaking up the heat from the top. The plastic ends seem to stay at room temperature.

this unit is heat activated. My son installed one on his wood stove..as soon as he gets a small fire going the fan will kick in. It is one of the best purchases we have made ! and no messing with adjusting the temp or any issues..build your fire and no worry..

No, it didn't get hot. I used it both ways, first with only the adapter, then I put in batteries and it is portable.

The housing does not get very hot--it's infrared. Mine is mounted on the exterior of our house which is cedar shakes. No issues.

The top does not get hot. I have seasonal decorations on it. You old put a tv, but only if you don't have young children, or it could get knocked easily. Great product, we are happy with it.
