Says heat covers open floor space. How, if it needs a rug pad? I have a tile floor, rug only covers part and tiles are cold.

I bought this rug and put it in my garage. Granted it was cold out there...but it was plugged in for 24 hours and I never felt any heat at all! Sent it back. Oh, I also had it on top of an area rug and not on the concrete.

I originally bought the unheated version. I put an old baby blanket in the bottom for comfort and my semi-feral cat took to it immediately. I was hoping she would decide to come indoors as the weather got colder, but no such luck so far so I've since added the heated pad. That means I have to move it to a table on the back porch each night so I can plug it in. I also have a problem with raccoons at night so it works out for that issue too.

The heat won't radiate through the subfloor AND tile. It needs to be on top of the subfloor.

When I was buying mine, there was a side picture which listed a heating pad that could be used with this house. You might check that out and see if it is still available.

It does not make my feet hot. I've used it barefooted, with socks only, and with shoes. I agree with the reviewer who said the heat is no different than carpet.

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

That product is great, even if sprayed on thin. kept our floors warm in the winter. HUGE difference.

It seems to me that it is evenly heated throughout the pad with no special zone at the foot. I have the twin size.

It does have a cover and does not "wad up". It's a great buy. It's larger than most heating pads, which is great as it covers more "territory". You should always put a towel or something between the pad and your body, to protect your skin.

The pad has no cover. It's been warm here in CLE this past week and my french mastiff has been loving it.

I have it on carpet and it does just fine. It gets warm on the bottom (and really ONLY on the bottom - not the sides or top so much), but I have not experienced any damage to the rug. I leave it running for long periods of time, and have never had a problem. I hope this helps!

According to SpeedHeat "YOU MUST USE A RUG PAD under RugBuddy!" and "Note: You must use a non-slip/non-creep pad with your RugBuddy. This can be found at your local hardware or flooring store or ordered through Speedheat.". I ordered mine from Amazon - Grip-It Ultra Stop Non-Slip Rug Pad for Rugs on Hard Surface Floors, 8 by 11-Feet for $35.00. Excess cuts with scissors.

It's similar to a regular heating pad with a velour like cover, so I'd be uncomfortable using it outside. I have mine in the garage. I don't have my original packing and I can't remember what the manufacturer's recommendations were.

So much of the ability to keep an area warm depends on the height, insulation, air leaks, and surface area exposed to external temperatures that you can't predict heating performance by square footage alone. Check the temperature of the air next to the heater. If it's cold, the heater is at fault, if it's hot you've got other problems.

Some people warn against placing anything on the heat pad other than the cover that is designed for it. They think that doing so can cause the pad to overheat and fail.

If you want to heat all the air in the room, it would make sense to put the heater as near to the floor as possible, because hot air rises.You need to draw colder air from the floor into the heater. That will help to avoid cold feet
