Can I use this on carpet? I don't want something that will leak or potentially start a fire. If no, what can I buy something to put underneath? Thanks

This small refrigerator really needs to be raised up by means of some kind of base, otherwise you're on your knees looking into it. I happened to find a suitable nicely made wooden crate at an estate sale, which I cleaned up and painted and which serves perfectly. Brings it up about 12 inches, so I can access it more easily and comfortably. This fridge has never leaked except when I defrosted it and left the door open--that was completely my fault. I think you could just put it on a slab of plywood cut to size, if you wanted to use it in a carpeted area--though even this may not be necessary. Hope this helps. It's an excellent little refrigerator. I've had mine nearly two years and I love it.

This is pretty thin, so I if there are any lumps or bumps under it you would notices. So I wouldn't put it on a thick carpet, I would recommend using this on short carpet or tile/wood floor.

No, it is not recommended to be placed directly on carpet or wood floors. What we have done (we have wood floors) is just bought two 12 x 12 porcelain/ceramic tiles to put underneath it. This product works very well - always use shoes, slippers or socks or your feet will be too hot!

I wouldn't use the double-sided tape on carpet. It would probably cause damage. You could try looping masking tape to apply it to your floor, but if kids are running all over it it probably wouldn't last long.

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.

Yes it can be used indoors even on carpet. We have our in our master bedroom and it's on carpet. The unit doesn't get hot on the bottom.

I bought it for my daughter and I know for a fact she didn't use it on any deep shag. There was no problemin her apartment or anywhere else to my knowledge. I wouldn't think that there would be any trouble with any carpet. However I have not used it myself. Hope that helped.

I believe you could use it safely on a deck. I wouldn't trust any bowl on a carpet, unless you think you can control flying embers which may escape from the grated top. I just wouldn't tempt fate. The fire bowl was a very good purchase, but I use it on the ground.

Not for carpet. too light to put on carpet and I can see it will slide which can be dangerous.

Yes you can use this under desk chairs. You can use this on hardwood floors but just keep in mind that it does not stick to the floor and will move an lift. It really depends on how you use it. But it definitely is a thick liner that helps protect carpet or floor from water, stains, pet dirt from paws. I even use it for under my toddlers feeding chair or use for finger painting

Yes, I'm sure you could use it on carpet. I didn't try the tape that came with it, but you could just use that, or packing tape might work.

Instructions are specific on not using it on carpeted floors, but it's OK if you add a layer of insulation, like cardboard. The fact that the instructions OK the use of cardboard makes it seem like the issue is constant heat discoloring the carpet or wood, given that cardboard has a lower ignition point than wool or nylon. By the way, the box it comes in makes a perfect insulator, with a little trimming.

You'll want to avoid any use that causes it to flex much. The suggestion to use rigid ceramic tiles underneath it is good. If you're just resting your feet on it while you sit at a desk and not putting your full weight on it, then it might be ok on top of 'soft' carpeting.It can discolor varnished wood floors if in direct contact!

I think it will be ok on carpet. It blows out heat at the bottom but not hot enough to burn carpet. It blows straight out and heat rises.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.
