Does the front grill get hot. I have a 18 month old grandson and I dont want to burn his hands.

It can get hot and I would put it behind a grate or something if this is a concern. It does have a high/low setting, but the 18 month old grandson could presumably set it to high himself also so I would be careful with this unit. The kids like to sit close in front of it for the warm feeling sometimes and I have to remind them not to get too close.

Not hot at all!! You can touch it and hardly feel any heat. Safe if kids around.

That really depends on your perspective :) It gets hot, but in my opinion not hazardous hot. If I put my hand on it and held it there, it will burn. The reality is, I will put my hand on it, my brain will say, HOT and I will take my hand away, no harm done. If a toddler fell against it, they would know it was hot and be able to move away with no harm done, if they fell against it and stayed there, then yes not good.Does that help? Hot enough to be hot, but not hot enough for instant injury.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it

Yes, if the kids are touching the top or sides. They cannot touch the heating elements in the front... it will burn them. So, if you have a toddler.. do not get it. If you have older kids who follow directions and know to not touch the front where the heat comes out.... then get it.

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

The edges don't get very hot and can be touched without moving your hands. The center does get fairly hot but you can put your hand on it for 10 to 20 seconds before it will make you move. It would be very hard for a toddler to burn himself.

It does get a little hot on the grill itself but not too much. Ive owned multiple tower heaters and this is the best one ive had.

The oven does get hot depending on how long you are cooking. I think for a small child it may be a little hot. However, I don't think it gets as hot as some of the other ovens/toaster ovens on the market.

We let it burn off for a few minutes after cooking. Then using a grill brush it's no big deal. We're not professional grill-users by any means, and it took some time to get used to this style grill. I will see the meat comes out terrific with no burning but nice grill marks.

Yes. I purchased 2 of these at Christmas for my grandchildren. They are 2 years old and love this grill. However I was not pleased with it. The photo is misleading the base is only where the doors are the other part of base is not included. The grill just sits on the base everytime you pick it up to move it the grill comes off the base. I would send it back but the kids do love playing with it.

I have the table top grill, love it, and it does get hot, so stay with your food until you "get to know" your new grill! (Not so hot that it's a problem sitting on our poly something table!) So sorry that I wasn't able to help answer your specific question!

It does get pretty hot. My 4 year old burnt his hand on it. Also, I wouldn't waste my money on it. We had it for a month and it quit working. This heater is junk.

I can't answer about the cooking spray because I quit using this grill a long time ago. It didn't heat up enough for me. I went back to using an older version of "George". J Smith

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

After about a month of using this heater we are satisfied with it's operation. It does get rather hot to the touch on the top of the unit (not skin burning hot, but similar to hot ceramic coffee cup hot...you don't get a blister, but holding it for long isn't pleasant!) The plastic sides are literally cold to the touch, and the front (warm) are not an issue. Having a 2 year old touch the top would not be an unpleasant experience for her, but it's hot enough to remind her not to touch it. Having 3 kids, we were extremely finicky about what they had in their rooms. This heater in my opinion is probably the safest type of heater to use in that environment given it's a "heater". Most portable fan heaters with metal grills are much hotter, and even the plastic grilled heaters with metal elements we use get hotter to the touch on the front. Hope this helps!

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.
