How much heat does it throw off?

Not much. We have a large patio that would probably require 8 of them or so.

It's awesome. I stand under or near it all through winter here in Denver on the back deck. It throws off a lot of heat. Great for a late autumn get together.

I haven't notice any real heat come off it when I use it in our fire pit. If you are looking for something to warm you up, I'd suggest something else.

Yes it is. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to the amount of heat this throws out. Good performance for the money!

It gets warm but not hot. I have pushed it back(out of the way) on the counter shortly after use and it was definitely not too hot to touch.

I don't remember any specific details (I would download the manual at the manufacture's website). The only thing that gets hot is about the top one foot or so.

It isn't as warm as a large fire, but it does throw off a fair amount of heat. I get cold easily and would wear a jacket while using this when it is in the low 50s. As the previous person said, it is a great deal, looks good, and works well. We are very happy with our purchase.

Very little heat from sides and back. Heater is modest at best but throws a bit of heat out the front so it feels warm when you get close. It's a great unit overall.

No. I have had this unit for almost two years. It has performed as expected and I have not noticed any excessive heat.

No, not at all. The only part that gets hot is where the heated air blows out of it.

Hot enough that you cannot hold you finger on it for more than half a second, but not so hot that it would catch something on fire. Not sure about exact temp, but I would say 120 degrees.

If you heat it for about 6 minutes, it gets pretty darn hot. It will stay warm for about half an hour.

Definitely. Mine gets warm enough I often need to turn it off or on the low setting to not make myself carsick! It doesn't take long to heat up.

They have the guidelines in the manual. It gets hot but the heat tube is about 3' off the ground.

I would not recommend it. If it didnt over heat it would be severely underpowered!

I leave mine on 24/7 and haven't had any trouble. I was concerned when I bought this that it wouldn't get warm enough based on customer reviews. It gets plent warm. Not hot enough to burn you, but pretty darn warm. I love mine. Much better than the one I had before.

not very many. if it is the only heat, less than 100 sq-ft. ( mine is only 500 watts.) If it is supplemental heat, maybe then more than 100.

I don't know the watts or temperature. If you are not careful it will burn you
