Does this get too hot to sit on a laminate counter top? Does anyone have this sitting on laminate?

We have had this oven for a week and have it on laminate and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps

My answer is going to be a bit different than what I've read by others. My intent is not to be controversial but to err on the side of caution. Mine sits on a counter top with a space of 10" from the top of the oven to the bottom of a kitchen cabinet. Either side of the oven has at least 6" of space. The bottom sits on the counter top on the units four mounted feet. Broiling a steak, chops, etc. is doing it's job at 500 degrees so if the unit didn't get hot then I doubt it would be doing its job. Naturally heat rises and disperses to the top and to each side. These would be areas I would not choose to touch while it's on for obvious reasons. I've had mine now for nearly a year without any problems. Giving proper attention by allowing the unit to have ventilation above and to each side; you shouldn't have any issues with heat.

I have mine sitting kitty-corner because of a shelf and the heat run, but I sit there a lot and haven't had any issues. To be honest, I think this was one of my best purchases for the small room it is in.

I have only placed something really hot on it one time but grabbed a mat to put under it. For that short time it didn't hurt it but I always put a mat under my hot items on my counters also. But very easy to do. I really like mine but I needed the extra space.

I use one of these on both my table and counter top. The bottom of the unit does not get hot or even warm. You just need to be careful not to block the cooling fan or air vents on this cooker. It works best if set-up on any hard smooth level surface that is non-metallic, like wood stone or tile.

I have it on top of a wooden Boos butcher block center island and it does not slip at all. It is pretty heavy I dont think it would slip on a counter top.

It gets as hot on top as it does on the sides. It cools down pretty quickly though. I move the toaster away from the wall and make sure there are no wires touching it.

It's on our granite kitchen countertop.I know the bottom gets warm and there are heavy duty feet so bottom probably does get hot but there are those feet.

I had my countertop convection oven sitting on a wooden kitchen cabinet that had a drawer and two doors under that to store other items. I bought this at Walmart, and never had any problems about the Hamilton Beach getting too hot. I still use the same table, with wheels, for another countertop convection oven. I have been using this table for at least 8 years, with same type of items on it.

I will share that his unit gets very hot on top. This is throne area of disappointment compared with the under cabinet model I had that I replaced it for. It is because of the heat that I have not pursued creating an under cabinet holder for it to siting.

I have not had that problem. I believe it is how careful you are when you finish with the protective layer. We were careful not to get the counter wet for many days after finishing the project and we are still careful not to let any standing water accumulate on the counters. I am sure given time that our countertops will begin to peel, but this is a cheap, easy way to give your counter tops a beautiful look.

I have our CSO-300 underneath the wood paneling of our cabinetry (although there is open space around it). The top of the oven does get warm to the touch but I have had no damage from either the high heat or the steam option to date. Our countertops are concrete and that is what it is sitting on. I have noticed some water drops on the countertop from the steam option. I just make sure every time I use that option to check underneath the drip tray and wipe if need be.

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.

It will not leave bubbles. Depending on the thickness of the laminate, use a.temperature setting of between 275 and 330 degrees.

I'll disagree with the answer posted by Bic - this sink sits on top of the counter. There are no exposed counter edges when this sink is properly mounted. I agree with the answer posted by P. Gifford, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to use this sink with a laminate. I also agree that you should ask the countertop vendor to weigh in with their opinion. It's a great sink but beware of scratches that will happen when belt buckles rub up against the front of it! Not something I thought of previously. I still love my big, deep, beautiful stainless sink!

I have not had any problem yet with it overheating. I used it to laminate a bunch of table menus for a restaurant. Though, as soon as I am done with it, I unplug it and let it cool before putting it away.

I use on my kitchen counter and it's formica, and not had any problems with heat. I don't see why it wouldn't be okay on glass or wood
