Is it cool to the touch with your hand when it's on? I saw something like that on tv. Is this the same type of item?

It is cool. But it will not turn on until it senses iron, steel. It will not turn on with copper, aluminum, glass, ceramic, and some stainless. When it senses the right magnetic material, it induces magnetic energy into the metal. When it does that the surface of the PIC does not get hot on it's own. The cookware gets hot very fast! When the cookware gets hot it will transfer heat to the surface of the PIC. This model has only 5 heat settings. I am completely satisfied. The units on TV are more sophisticated and more expensive. This Nesco is 1500 watts. I have tested this Nesco and it does not proportion the energy at its lower settings (like a microwave in defrost mode). Some do and can cause burning. Some more expensive I have seen are 1800 watts. This Nesco is a practical start to get to know what induction cooking is about. Experiment with what kinds of cookware is right for you. At a later time you can add another one or two. This could be the next cooking revolution since the microwave. Have fun exploring and cooking.

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

The fan on medium and high speed are so quiet, it does not interfere with TV programming at all. I've used it many times while watching TV. The silence of the fan is one of the features I really like about this one. No annoyance to worry about.

i have one since last year and it is noisy,but it keeps it nice and cool. i turn up my volume also but i live in a retired community and most people cant hear my t.v.

Yes. I still like it. I would recommend it. I have it in my family room with the TV. It looks and is solid. It doesn't look or feel cheap. It does workout your arms too.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

....put it this way ...if they suddenly decided to run up to it and hug it ...they would feel that it is not the best thing to do....and it would not physically burn their skin but it gets very warm...I hve walked into it in the dark ....it doesn't burn ur skin ...I have had this for 4 years and am using it right now in my bedroom ...I luv it it's the best thing and very worth the money...it has safety cut off switch ...if u don't like it after trying ...just return it ....but it's very sturdy and very safe and warms my whole bedroom up. I think it would be fine to be around the kids and u can just tell them over and over not to touch it though and if they do ...it will not hurt them at all but they will feel that it's something that prob they shouldn't play with :))

Yes, I can put my hand, with just a little pressure on there and feel he warmth. It's very subtle but it does warm up

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!

Cool touch is definitely just what it saids it is. When you touch it,it's cold.

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.

No problem , it is an incredible set, don't worry about buzzing or burn in. It's a thing of the past, it will be the best tv you've ever seen.Let me know if I can answer any other questions i did allot of homework

I would say it is cool, but not cold. It keeps the same strength that you have it on (meaning if you have it on high, the pressure is still high).

I'm not even aware it's on unless I specifically "listen" for it. I, then can hear it. It's similar to a well oiled fan. It does make the air more pleasant to breathe.

You can hardly feel the air when you put your hand right next to the fan. I think it's main function is not to blow warm air, rather to circulate the warm air.

It is cool to touch. Its a good heater for our bonus room which is big and didnt run up the electric bill too bad! It would be ok with kids

By and large it is quite cool unless it is very hot. I usually put a fan on and it is not so bad. Hope this helps.
