Is it flat enough to use under a rug in a low traffic area?

Under no circumstances should you ever run any electrical wiring under a carpet or rug regardless of traffic. I am an insurance adjuster and I cannot count how many fires I have seen due to improperly used extension cords and surge protectors. Consider another option.

Not in my opinion. The cord itself is about the diameter of a heavy ext. cord. Also, it is only 1 foot long. Total length.

The plug part is flat, but the cord itself is round and fairly substantial. I wouldn't run it under a rug. Also, remember that it's just foot long.

I would imagine so, will a little "bulge" in that area of the carpet. But I would personally wonder about any potential heat generated at the plug head, being in contact with the fabric or even the plastic underside of the carpet. I do not know for sure if there is any heat at all on the plug, I've never touched it to check (unlike a power pack). I worry about things like that. Good luck!

It's a foam material that is flat on the bottom so it should work well on low nap carpets like what you would see in an office setting. I wouldn't recommend on high nap carpets such as shag/frieze.

not a thin carpet because you can feel it when you step on it or walk on the carpet. Nice somewhat thick maybe carpet might be okay.

If the carpet was commercial grade, short pile carpet , it should be fine , however if it is a plush carpet it would not roll well.

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues. Regards, Duane

I think this would work. Of course it would still have a small lump, but it would only be truly noticeable if the rug was very thin. This was the flattest extension cord I could find when I was looking.

This is a nice chair; however, it is low. I am not sure how they would hold up under that type of traffic. Ours are in an area that is only used marginally.

Possibly, but I doubt it. Suggest you put down a piece of carpet underneath.

Our mat lays flat on very thick carpet and the edge is tapered. It is very thick and the edge does not curl so I don't think you should worry about tripping on this mat. With that being said be careful when transitioning from one type of flooring to another kind because no one wants to fall.

i would say no to carpet, it is very low profile, works great on my hardwood floor.....

I used it on a small carpet in the garage and it worked well. Haven't tried it in a large area.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

I don't think so as it does not get too warm. With a rug/carpet over it, there won't be much/if any heat on top of the rug/carpet.

The bottom has a non-skid texture that prevents it from sliding around my carpeted trunk....good luck.

Yes but it will be hard to move. If it's on carpet it will not roll out from under them. if on bare floor you will need to buy caps for the legs to prevent it scratching your floors.

Mine is on a hard wood floor with a scatter rug more than a couple feet away.Recommends clearance around it so would put fireproof mat under it.

It's flat, not round. But still, it's a heavy-duty cord that can carry almost 20 amps of power, so it's not exactly thin. If you have a thick carpet, you'll probably be okay.
