Is this item good for toddler age? Does the steam get hot?

My son loves it. He is three but I think we got it for him when he was two. It isn't steam it is water vapor (kind of like fog) so there is no risk of burns.

Unit is not hot at all. I have little ones around too, and there is not a heat issue, though the enticing buttons are easy for little ones to get to ... such temptations! The cord is more of a concern to me than children (or this grandma!) getting burned.

I wouldn't recommend it for a 2-3 year old, there are a lot of very small pieces. It's definitely better for older children. The durability is good. I had one when I was a little girl and 30+ years later it's still in my dad's basement. I purchased one for my 5-year old last Christmas. It's probably a better fit for children around 4-5 at least.

We live in the northeast so it may not get as hot as where you are. We have used it in the high 80's and mid 90's and it hasn't gotten hot that we noticed or the toddler was uncomfortable riding in. It's a great seat as far as I'm concerned

It's cool. It doesn't put out "a lot" of steam but it is great for at your desk at work/other small spaces. I bought a second one for a co-worker. I used mine for about a month and it worked great. I will be using it again as soon as the weather gets cold.

Yes, by all means. It's been great for my smaller grandchildren (age 1-3 yrs)... Older kids (7-10 yrs)got in it at a birthday party last week and now it has a leak. Recommend highly for small kids.

It would keep the luch warm for them if it was packed in the morning. The only problem is the unit is very hot when it comes out of the micro wave so I would not wanting a 5 or 6 year old touching them at that time Older kids OK or it would be OK at lunch time or even at morning break

It's a steamer and it gets hot as normal steam type appliances. I really like my steamer. it is better than those stick type steamers. I assume you are looking for some type for your home use. I found dirt where I did not know it was lurking.

I don't believe they get hot. My 2 and 4 yr old have never mentioned it being that way

It is supposed to be cool. Mine made vey little steam. I can't really feel it and it stopped working after a week.

It does have a steam release, however what I don't like is that you cannot remove the the pieces to clean it, there is a little cup that can be removed for cleaning but a long as you don't leave anything in there for too long it should be fine

I wish I could tell you. I waited over a month for it to be shipped and it never worked. It turned on but never produced steam. The company is shipping me a new one this week so once I get the new I can let you know. I believe it is on the warm side.

Based on my experience the unit doesn't burn - it's warm but then it's a heater. I think you'll find it is very safe but of course with a 15 month old caution is always appropriate.

Yes it gets very hot. I do heirloom sewing and this is the best steam generator I've had. I have not had to clean the boiler as my water is good mineral content but I think the directions for doing so were included.

It's a wooden handle so it doesn't really get super hot, but there is boiling water just below it and metal at either end, so just as a matter of caution I use the mitt. That way I also don't worry about the steam coming out of the spout when I pour into the teapot.

no this material is suitable for insulation of hot pipis where it would not be subjected to handeling by a toddler.
