How hot does it get on the outside? I'm keeping it inside the house not in the garage, so it is a concern

I keep mine in the garage, but I've never noticed it getting warm or hot to the touch on the outside, admittedly. It always feels somewhat cool to the touch, even on hot days (I live south of the OBX, so every day is a hot, humid day).

Temperature in my garage during the summer is well over 100 degrees, when parked outside in direct sunlight, it is hotter yet, I really do not think you will have a problem.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

No. I have not had any problems with it whatsoever and I live where it is very hot!

Hmm, I haven't had a problem with getting too hot while wearing it but it's also been on the colder side where I live. But I have worn it inside my house which we usually keep about 70-72degrees and I didn't get hot. Hope that helped

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.

Don't know about heat since mine was outside. Keep an eye on it for air leakage or you'll have a wet floor if inside.

Nope not hot at all. Using it all summer with no air conditioning in our house.

I've had my garage (400sqft) down to 70 degrees. The outside temp today was 92 (heat index of 101). I would check the insulation above the bedroom and other possible factors, maybe even a bad unit.

It definitely is hot enough but l would be cautious, it doesn't have a temp control. I would be careful not to get it close to anything that can catch on fire.

I don't think it gets super hot underneath--but the sides and even the top get pretty hot. I'd be wary of surrounding it too closely but so long as the air can circulate well, it should be okay.

I have it sitting on an area rug and it is OK. The heat projects out , not down.

Probably so, I have two of them in my motorhome, which is approx. 300sq.ft and they kept it at 72 degrees inside, while outside got down to 28 degrees! It depends on sq.ft. of the garage, and how well it is insulated, you might need two.

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

I don't think it gets hot. We haven't had any problems with unit getting extremely hot.

The outside of this seems to stay fairly cool. Our tenant had it sitting on a laminate topped desk and it didn't cause "melt-age". (I know that's not an actual word.....but, you got the gist, right?) Anyway, she used it for over a year and neither she nor her 5 year old son had any accidents or complaints.
