Is this safe to place on a wood floor? Does the housing get hot?

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

Given that this unit is sold as an Infrared Heater - Wall Mount I would strongly advise about positioning it on a floor surface.

You can definitely feel the output of cool air. Ours is on hard wood floors with a piece of felt underneath to prevent any scratches. Neither the floor nor the felt have ever been even slightly damp. I would imagine carpet would be ok

I used mine on wood floor and worked fine! There are little suction cups on it that helps to "stick" it to the floor. Very good play center to little ones until your baby finds out how to shake it and push/pull to move it... But for me it was a worth purchase! Hope this help you :)

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!

Yes, the housing is made out of a strong and durable plastic that seems to resist getting hot. I have had it on for over an hour now and the container or housing is still cool to the touch. The Only thing that would burn your dog is the heat, but with the protection of your dog's fur I would say that he is out of the woods, and on safe grounds.

absolutely, it wont be any different than on a wood floor. but if its going to be in a wet area im not so sure that's a good idea. if your not sure about it getting wet or not, just run your power line to a gfci breaker to be safe.

I don't think it gets super hot underneath--but the sides and even the top get pretty hot. I'd be wary of surrounding it too closely but so long as the air can circulate well, it should be okay.

Yes- althoughI use it on a carpet - I would not hesitate to use it on a wood floor. Joan

Mine is on top of hard wood floors and I've had no problems with it so far.

You would put the wires straight onto the floor...which I would not recommend. It could get too hot and you might burn the wood floor.Hope this helps.

It could be used on a wood floor, but it's not SUPER cushioned. I generally use it on a rug - although you could easily place a blanket or towel underneath it if you needed extra padding.

If the deck flooring is wood, the base of the campfire does not get hot and I think you would be O.K. to use it. If you have a wooden roof over the deck then that may be a concern. Directly above the campfire does get hot. Hope this helps.

I have it sitting on an area rug and it is OK. The heat projects out , not down.

I think it is safe to sit on a hardwood floor, but I would recommend sitting a towel under to be on the safe side as well as one to step onto when you get out. I was skeptical when I first got it but still think this is by far one of the best things I have purchased for myself.

I had mine on hardwood floor but I think it should be ok because all of the vents are on the side.

I have mine on hardwood floor, but I haven't noticed the floor getting very warm underneath. The flames look surprisingly real, I was very happy. Of coarse if you are standing or sitting right in front of it they do not look real. I have a very small bedroom. My stove is on the opposite wall from my bed, maybe about 4.5 or 5 feet and it looks amazing.Hope this helps

Geez...not sure about that. It is water and the steam does get hot, so I don't think it would be a great idea to leave it sit for too long on at least a wood floor while on. That said, this thing does a great job cleaning wood floors and an even moved Jon on ceramic. My wife is super sensitive to any type fragrances so for me it is a perfect combo of getting floors really clean without any chemical odors.
