Can it be set on carpet without concern for a fire hazard?

Yes . The nice part of this unit is it can be set on any style flooring . Also it is not hot to the touch . I / We have grandchildren ( 3,5,8 ) that have to touch the unit all the time . No problems or worry of burning them . Nice units . I use only this " digital " unit. I had 6 of these for many years .

I have one of these units on a carpeted floor for years. Unit never feels hot to the touch.

Mine is used on a low carpet - no problem. This heater is amazing. Very very fast to heat the room up. As long as you don't have 3 inch shag carpet, no issues.

We have 7 Vornado heaters in this 1837 house, heated wtih a soapstone woodstove, but having areas that need a "boost". All the floors have carpets and the heaters shut off it tipped over, but are "cool" on the outside so are perfectly safe. They heat a sealed room evenly, from floor to ceiling. I only run 1 to 3 (hi/low) at any given time, but they are in place for instant use when needed. Two of the heaters are the Remote Control "Touchstone" version; five are the DVDTH models. The company repairs them for free if problems occur. Had a circuit go after 4 years on one ... and a motor shaft bind. They are quiet and highly efficient.

Absolutely it can be placed on carpet with no fear of fire hazard. I have had mine on the carpet for at least one year.

Yes if placed on a hard floor. If placed on carpet it's obviously a bit off.

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.

We don't use ours on carpet however we believe that with the weight of the treadmill there should not be any issues

No. I have not had issue with this. Just don't leave it on for more than 3 or so weeks. I use it under newspaper near a parrot cage and change it once a month. It really keeps the carpet protected... I keep my house cool...Maybe with lots of heat or in the sun, it may be an issue. I would keep that in mind.

I guess it could, but it is never a good idea as it is not good for the carpet.

Yes you can put it on top of the carpet with or without its supplied cover.

I would not attempt them over carpet. They are likely to shift on you and could cause some serious injuries. Or some laughs. But why risk it

On Carpet is ok, on wood is going to be a problem. It would probably withstand toddler abuse but is not a solid wood piece of furnature.

i believe that the owners manual DID recommend AGAINST laying on top of it, or folding it, because of fire hazard, as is the case with ALL electric pads or blankets.

Yes! I have this on carpet in my apartment. I recommend putting it in an area in your house that is not high traffic, as it's lightweight and could potentially fall over.

I'm not the manufacturer, so I cannot recommend where is appropriate, or not, but I can vouch for it working well, even on our carpet (which they recommend against, saying that putting it on an uncarpeted flooring is best).

Yes, we have ours on our carpet, the heat comes out of the upper portion of the fireplace, above the flames.

To anser this question, no it does not would be safe from a fire or child safe point of view.

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.
