is low too hot to touch

If you touched the tray on low it would be the same as touching an iron on low. It might not burn you but you certainly wouldn't leave your hand on it.

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

I agree that the heat feature is either set too low or is not really working. Since we wouldn't use it very much, it isn't an issue for me. My wife hasn't complained either so-----

I don't know mine want very hot. I accidently passed my hand under it and was surprised that it didn't feel very hot at all. Slow for steam as well... I returned it. Hated it.

Yes, the unit is cool to touch. It is not like a regular heater. Where the heat comes directly from the unit is not that hot as to burn you like a conventional heater.

I would defer to the manufacturer's recommendations but I would note that this is very hot to the touch so you would likely want to leave at least 6 inches.

I believe the answer with the too hot came from someone who is selling different products, I have seen that answer too before I bought it and was wondering. You can touch the surface with your hand and you will feel a nice warms but no heat. My chicks are hiding under the brooder all the time like under a mother chick. The only reason I vary the position is when the chicks grow bigger. It is an awesome product.

I usually put it on high to start with & lower the temp when I get in bed. It is plenty warm when I get in bed..........but I couldn't say if it was "HOT" or not. I always turn it down. It is of extremely good quality. So very hard for me to answer.

Yes if on high setting! Also, lower settings for people with heat sensitivity!

It is pretty low. Sorry I mostly use the high setting, so I am not a good example!

If you mean like really hot such as over say 110 degrees then I'd say 'no' .

I just bought this and am surprised that others have found it gets too hot. Mine doesn't get nearly hot enough, just a little warm up at level 6. Almost all of the negative reviews complain about this but I saw such a high overall rating I didn't read them. I'm thinking of return it asap.

You can apply heat on the low setting . no problem. It won't melt at all.. And, NO gooey plastic mess, either!

No not too hot to touch on outside---You use the handle. It's a great product.

I have never used it that way, but it is hot to the touch for about an hour. I hope this helps.

yes, but temperatures on different settings are not always the same. sometimes low can get pretty hot and high can only be warm. must check temp. if using on someone who can't adjust temperature for themselves.

No, it has HIGH and LOW only. Low is still heated, just not as hot and a slower blow.
