How hot does it get - could I leave my hand on it and not be in pain?

I reposition it frequently throughout the day and it has never burnt me. I wouldn't touch it for more than a few seconds on the back side though.
1374205
Yup! It definitely won't burn you. And the auto-off function is really effective too.

The backside it quite hot. I doubt it would burn, but becomes uncomfortable after 5-10Secs of contact. The soft-touch front is a little cooler and can be touched 30-40secs+ in my experience...

It's very warm to the touch, about like a hot-water bottle. You could put your hand on it without experiencing pain.
1374208
Yes. I have mine under my desk to help keep my feet warm. It is warm enough to help warm body parts that are close (e.g. w/in 1-2 feet). It is warm to the touch, but will not burn. I can leave my hand on for an extended time.

Hi Tim.Have had mine, going into second winter..You can leave your hand on it, however, after about 20 seconds or so, you will probably remove hand! It certainly won't burn you if you touch it by accident..

yes...I have it under my desk which is an old 50's style oak desk...the unit itself will get moderately warm and create a nice pocket of warm air to keep my feet warm

It's not that hot. If you were to touch it, it won't burn your hand. It's really only good close-by like underneath your desk. Even that doesn't really help. My purpose was to heat my legs and feet underneath my desk but if you don't put a blanket to contain the heat, you won't feel it until your feet is close by. It didn't really do what I hoped it did.

Yes is hot. It may cause burns if in contact with the skin for a while. For second question, the answer is "no". It cannot be easily be poked.

Yes it stays cool and doesn't get hot at all. Also, there's enough grip room to hold it with your fingers

We leave it on all the time. It is hot enough that you can't hold it with your hand for more very long but not hot enough to burn. Not very scientific but hope it helps

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

After about 30 seconds of holding a 450 degree item, I'll start to feel it. Maybe it's a shorter time frame but unless you're carrying something really far away heat is really not a problem. Going from the oven to the counter/dining room I've never felt heat/burning.

It does not become hot. This cushion has been the best money I have spent in a long time. I highly recommend this cushion.

No not too hot to touch on outside---You use the handle. It's a great product.

I would say no. The heat in it is wonderfully subtle. I suppose you could make it hot enough to act like a pad for back pain, but the entire pad, or your side of it anyway, would all be just as hot.

I do not keep anything that might melt on top of it. It does get quit warm to the touch but not so hot that it could possibly causes your skin to burn.

Our boys never had a problem with the temperature. we've been using it for 2 months, and it still goes to 105* (a completely acceptable temp) if you're worried, splash some on your wrist- if it stings its too hot.

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.

I would think it's at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) because it becomes steam. It definitely hurts if you put your hand right in front of the nozzle when the steam is coming out.

I have never used it that way, but it is hot to the touch for about an hour. I hope this helps.

It gets very hot. You can set the temp. It will burn the skin if you touch it.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

There are two temperature settings, Low (setting 1) and High (setting 2). You can therefore set the heat to a setting comfortable to you. The device will not get too hot in any scenario (it's powered by one AAA battery) and is completely safe for cosmetic use. You can feel how hot it gets with your fingers, on the heating probe, without any worries about burning.
