How hot is the heater?

It reaches a degree not over 80 degrees . If it gets to warm or hot you can always just unplug it and plug it in again when it gets cold. Buy a fish tank Thermometer just to be safe.

Not sure how hot. It's never hot to the touch..it keeps my small beta bowl about 80 to 82 degrees.

Mine has been warm ever since I got it. I've been using it for months now without a problem. It's sitting on a shelf in the garage and I propped it up with an extra nut that I had in my toolbox to make sure there was some airflow.It's just noticeably warm, not hot. I can keep my hand on it. So far, so good.

The heater works very well for me. I installed it in a 2 bay garage with 15 foot ceiling where I can work on my cars with a 4 post lift. Even on the coldest days the unit will heat the garage to 68/69 degrees within a half an hour.

We have a 450 gal spa and it is a 11Kw heater. It heats about 10 degrees F per hour.

Like any heater, it heats, and gets hot. The warning label says do not touch -- and I haven't.

I checked with the person I bought the unit for, and she has not had heat which she considers to be a problem. Her unit sits on a shelf which is open front and back. She said it is warm, but not hot. She has toddlers and grand kids around all the time and it hasn't been a problem...

Mine gets very warm. In fact, I keep it on the two lowest settings all of the time. The two higher ones would be too hot for me. So there is a lot of range with the heat in this one.

I don't find this gets excessively hot to the touch at all. Yes, it does get toasty, but I can touch the heater and not feel burnt. Again, with small children go ahead and put it up on something so they can't get close to it if you are worried. My pets also have no problem with this, they lay in front, although they aren't laying right up against it.

I'm not sure of the exact temp, but I don't think it's very hot. I cook everything with the slider all the way to the right (hottest), and, unless something is wrong with my Foreman, I don't think it is as hot as it should be.

I asked myself this same question after i bought it. For me it's fine. I'm confident it is safe for my family. It does get hot. Not so hot you can't touch it very briefly, but you don't want to keep your hand on it. It's very stable. But if you aren't going to be in the presence of you child and you know they won't listen to you and not touch the heater, this isn't for you. That said, this heater heats a room really fast and keeps it warm. I've been very happy with it.

I just got mine and either mine has a defect, or the information on here is incorrect. I use it to take the edge off of the cold house in the morning. I have it sitting on laminate wood flooring. After about 1 hour on high the floor in front of the heater is very hot to the touch. About as hot as you want to touch with your bare hand. If this was sitting on a canvas, nylon or poly tarp floor of a tent, I would be concerned. It does not get hot directly under the unit, but a foot or two in front of it the floor gets very hot.

It has reached the temperature in the room that you have the heater set for.

Mine was certainly hot enough. It did take a little bit longer than a stove and skillet but not long

120. It's a one season heater, though. I bought two and they both crapped out after little use.

Temp setting was 166 degrees. Not sure it was that hot but it would burn you. It has auto shutoff but it was by time and you could set timer up to 1 hour. I need to tell you that ours has already. Burned out and the company told us we had violated terms of warranty on hours of use per day. Don't recall exact terms but it was like if you used it more than 1 hour twice a day you voided warranty. We won't b buying another one!!

Of course the area that the heat is coming out of is hot, but the rest of the heater is cool to the touch. I love this heater. You can put it right next to the wall with no issues. It really heats up a room. You will not be disappointed. Two thumbs up.

There are three temperature settings on this heater: 208, 194(energy saving), and 140. I've set mine to 194 and it's hot enough for our everyday use(tea, instant coffee, soup, etc.). It's also fairly fast in boiling the water from room temp and the steam just comes out for a few seconds towards the end of the boiling process. So far we've been so happy with this product and I recommend it.
