Does the base get really hot to touch?

Considering my burner created an open flame within seconds of plugging it in, I unfortunately wasn't able to have it on long enough to find out about the base. My particular unit may have just been a defective one, but be forewarned!

The base does get hot you should give it some time to cool off before u pick it up.

Yes it gets... Warm. But it's also really small so I dont really advise touching the base either

The coil gets hot on high but at lower temps, it doesn't radiate heat. Base is quite small so not a problem.

The backside it quite hot. I doubt it would burn, but becomes uncomfortable after 5-10Secs of contact. The soft-touch front is a little cooler and can be touched 30-40secs+ in my experience...

On top of the oven, it doesn't get hot to the touch. If you use it inside the oven, of course it gets hot.

It does get hot. I have actually burnt myself a couple of times. If she was strictly supervised and explain about where not to touch it might be ok. When I burnt myself it was due to simply not paying attention to where I was touching. Hope that helps.

It does get pretty warm right where the heat comes out. I have touched it before, but it didn't burn me. It is still pretty warm tho.

No, it shouldn't be so hot as to cause worry. Mine just gets warm after a while

It gets slightly warm to touch. I am not even worried about my child touching it.

I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

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

you will be able to feel some heat after it warms up. it is not fan forced air. it will take a few minets to warm up and then the heat rises.

It does get pretty hot. I would not store anything on top of it that would melt. The sides and front are not too bad, but the top does heat up pretty good.

Jody, yes, the entire tower is cool to the touch. Obviously, if you keep your hand in front where the heat emits, your hand will get hot. I've had my ATH-1 on for the entire winter (it's heating the finished basement) and the tower is cool to the touch.- joe

No, but it gets hot. My 2 year old touches it while on a pulls away with no burns.

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