No it does not. My mother uses it for everyday stove on a counter and the counter is fine. No burns or bubbling up.

The heat would need to originate from the bottom. That is how it is designed. I have used it on top of my gas grill, and it could be used on top of a range, fire ring, etc. but all heat comes from the bottom ... up, to heat the top and bottom stones. It does a great job BTW. I would add pictures, if I could to this post, as I fired up some pies last night.

The exterior gets very hot to the touch. Mine is placed on a kitchen counter top and about five inches underneath the wooden cabinets. It operates here and I have no fear of fire.

My machine has never gotten hot. For the most part it is stable on the counter, it does have a strong vibration system so i can't say if it will move on another surface.

Gets extremely hot - I wouldn't recommend it on a wooden deck. We have it on our patio with a grill pad underneath it to protect the patio from rust marks.

I have no issue with outside getting hot when cooking. This is the best toaster oven I have owned -- would highly recommend.

No. The outside does get warm, but I use it to warm plates. It doesn't make the kitchen any warmer than when I use my oven. I think it's great

Yes, I have used it for many years on my formica style counter tops. Works very well.

the top is more of a hard vinyl surface that is sturdy and easily cleaned. I would not put hot stuff on it without protection the same as Formica counter tops or try to work silver or such on it.

It gets pretty warm on the outside. But, if you need to move it, use the handles - that's what they're for and they don't get hot.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

The top of the oven is meant to be a plate-warmer, so not super well insulated. It gets hot. You're supposed to allow clearance around the oven (for the sake of it's electronics and ability to dump heat, the heat has to go somewhere, and this is true of all electronics. The sides or underneath do not get too hot.If you asking if it holds temperature well, it does that better than just about any countertop oven I've ever seen. You can cook pies or roast a chicken in it, perfectly. And it's fine on any counter or under a cabinet.

The base des not get hot or even warm. I would use it on a wooden deck. I've used mine on a wooden table.

I have it on my laminate counter, and have not had any damage. The bottom doesn't get very hot, it is the top and sides that do. I just pull it away from the wall a bit when I use it.

I would not recommend this be under a counter. It produces quite a bit of heat, and has a difficult time maintaining temp if ambient temp raises.

Mine is in a 3 sided cabinet with an open back. Doesn't seem to get too hot. Mine does have space on both sides, front and top of unit . Our open back allows for plenty of air circulation.
