Does this produce any appreciable heat when used outside? or is this just for looks?

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.

I have found that it is truly not a heat source, as the flame is pretty but in the open air it does not produce heat as a source for comfort. It is a nice and the unit is attractive. Amazon price is MUCH less than any other place is what I found and it was Prime shipping when I purchased. Please follow the directions exactly ... do not tighten until instructions tell you to.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

I have not used it in an application where heat is an issue, so I can't honestly tell u. Sorry! By the looks of the other responses, it to hold up to a lot of heat!

I would not recommend it. It is nice outside for looks. It gives off a little heat but could not be used to keep warm. Open fire in an inclosed area is not a good idea.

It does give off some heat but not too much. We use 4 at a time on 4 layers with a cover and the seedlings were comfortably warm in the winter.

The dehumidifier does put out some heat. Compared to our previous dehumidifier, this one seems much more efficient and therefore producing less heat then expected.

I thought it was a heating pad, but it's not. It's just a real nice cover for your own heating pad. I think there are some heating pads that can be used outdoors. Keep looking!

In my experience with these, they don't put out any measurable heat at all...if you'd like a picture of what they look like in my back yard, shoot me an email to jm@cadwallader.us and I'll forward one to you.Great Buy in my opinion!

I use it pretty extensively just about every day for about 2 years now. I have never noticed it radiating any excessive heat.

I haven't used it indoors. We have it on an outdoor covered deck and it heats athe seating area.

We have never had a problem with this unit producing heat. And we actually own two of them--one in my son's room and one in my father's studio apartment.Neither of them have generated any noticeable heat but they work like a charm to keep the air clean!

That is true of any outdoor heating product! Best to find some protection - e.g., next to a wall or other large object. But I have found the new digital system to be quite effective so far, in the few occasions since I bought it. It is much better than the old, non-digital version.

I've never used it outside, it doesn't get really hot , like in the European built in house towel racks, but I like my rack, it fits one large towel 2med size towel.

Hi we use ours everyday sometimes for 6 to 8 house and we have never noticed a heat problem. It is activated now and it is cool to the touch.

Can't imagine that happening? It's a great little heater, but it doesn't get real hot to the touch anywhere on the outside. At least not hot enough to burn anything or anybody.
