I can be in my house while my MES runs on my front porch, but I would never go away or go to bed with mine running.
Maybe it would be different if I had it in my yard or in my driveway, away from my house, but mine sits on my Wood Front Porch, with a wood roof over it, attached to an ALL Wood house, so I keep an eye on it while it's doing it's thing.
I know one guy who had his MES door go up in flames, and he was lucky he was near it when it happened. Apparently grease got into the door somehow, and then ignited.
Master built gave him a new door.

I learned my lesson in college, never leave any heating device unattended. I was doing a load of dishes in my apartment and had to run to the convenience store down the street (probably to buy beer). when I came back the whole apartment smelled of burnt plastic. So I popped open the dishwasher to see a cloud of smoke. While I was gone it had kicked over to the drying cycle and it was one of those with the exposed heating element (like an oven). Sometime during the washing a plastic spatula had been knocked out of the rack and down onto the heating element where it promptly melted once the drying cycle started. I think a couple more minutes at the most and it would have caught fire.
So now there are only two things capable of generating heat in my house that run unsupervised. One is the gas furnace and the other is the pellet stove. Back when I used and MES it was on a concrete slab behind and away from the house and even then I never ran it unattended.Mike
