Would this heater be safe if I set it on my solid wood coffee table?

Yes with supervision I don't leave mine on without me around and it had a timer so I only do an hour at a time

Yes it is BUT.....after 3 months it didn't work as well anymore. Heat isn't as intensive as it was.

These heaters are not very safe in general. I would not leave it for too long without attention. They consume a lot of energy and would be costly to leave overnight. It does have a ball mechanism so if it falls it stops working. It also turns off when the temp. goes up or you seat too close. However, I believe only oil heater would be safe to leave for the night. Less energy, heats well, safe for kids.

Yes, tihs is a very safe product and looks great too. It is also likely the best one at heating a large room because it can continuously pull 1400W on the high setting, putting out more heat compared to smaller ones and ceramic electric heaters that only really draw about 800W. They may all be rated at "1500W" but none of them really draw that much when warm. Having more elements gives it more heating surface area to dissapate heat, which allows it to pull more power all the time. There are also low and eco settings so it doesn't draw the 1400W if you don't need the extra heat. Because it does draw more power than other units you have to be more conscious of what else is on that circuit so you don't trip the breaker. If you have 15-amp breakers, then this thing will be drawing about 12 amps, so you cant also run a vacuum cleaner on that circuit or a refrigerator or microwave or other large device. This is advertised as 1800W in places, but in the owners manual it says 1500W. However, in the same owners manual it says it may draw up to 15 amps, which would indeed be 1800W. In my actual testing it draws 1400W continuously, which is actually about twice as good as most smaller cheaper ceramic electric heaters or any other wire coil electric heater. The fan is not loud, it is also not silent, it needs to get all that heat dissapated and distributed. The wood is always cool to the touch, doesnt heat up and the power cable doesnt get hot either like some other electric heaters. it will probably look best on carpet, because on a hard floor the legs are above the ground a little bit since it sets on the casters, and the 4 wooden legs are just a bit higher than those wheels. On carpet the wheels will sink a bit so the legs look like they are on the ground.

Yes, it is safe to put it on the table. I use a tea lite candle. The disposable ones in the thin metal holders. I have never had a problem with the bottom getting too hot. If you are uneasy, I liked that suggestion of using a coaster.

It is as safe as any heater is in a bathroom. It has a safety tip over switch. It might be more heater than you would need however. We use it in our living room, and it works great!

I have used it on a glass table. I don't know about wood. Just keep an eye on it. It works fine on my table and doesn't seem to get hot.

I would put something like a baker's sheet under it and it may still scorch the wood. I have mine on a little steel mesh table.

I have used both a weber portable propane grill and coleman stove on mine with no issues. I would hesitate putting a hot pan or pot on the table without protection. The grill is on legs and the stove does not get that hot on the bottom. Hope this helps. Overall great table I like it. very light and easy set up.

Keep in mind that furniture could obstruct the air flow for the convection heating to work properly. According to the manufacturers FAQ's, they recommend keeping combustible materials three feet away. http://www.eco-heater.com/frequent-questions/

It depends upon the distance from the top of the heater to the ceiling. If this is on the floor and you have a standard ceiling - it should be ok. If you set it on a table you may have a problem. The bigger problem is that it is fire. Fire takes the oxygen out of the air and puts carbon monoxide in the air. Carbon monoxide will kill you. So if the patio is enclosed - OPEN THE WINDOWS.

I cant imagine how that would possibly be safe. The frame around the top gets almost red hot and it also it gives off a lot of smoke when cooking. Maybe under some very unique circumstances - like in a big warehouse or something - but there isn't any way I could see it being used in your average living room. The bottom part IS designed to let you put it on a wood picnic table safely - but like at a park. Screened in porch might be OK if there is good air exchange. Hope this helps.

We have not done that but do not see any reason why it could not be placed on a table. The sides, back and bottom of heater are just room temp. The heat all comes from the front of the unit

I wouldn't. The TV will will, probably, fit on the heater, but I doubt if it will be very stable.

I just got mine and either mine has a defect, or the information on here is incorrect. I use it to take the edge off of the cold house in the morning. I have it sitting on laminate wood flooring. After about 1 hour on high the floor in front of the heater is very hot to the touch. About as hot as you want to touch with your bare hand. If this was sitting on a canvas, nylon or poly tarp floor of a tent, I would be concerned. It does not get hot directly under the unit, but a foot or two in front of it the floor gets very hot.

It will potentially scorch it if you dont make sure the heater is not in direct contact with the wood. It most definitely scorched the wood floor it was on in my apt even though I put all sorts of things under the edges of the tank to stop it from doing that. But I probably had less than 1/4inch of space.

I'm betting they would frown on that. There are feet at the bottom for it to sit on the floor. Most people would tell you that it would not be safe to use it on a wall. There are larger hard wire-in types of baseboard heaters that are designed for what you are talking about.

I don't know. There is a heater with a table available but it did not look as sturdy to me. Good luck.
