Does this get hot? Especially on/near the bottom? Putting it in my carpeted office &amp; wondered if I would need a mat of some sort under it?

No, it shouldn't get hot on the near or bottom. I use to have fridge on carpet and it did not get hot for me.

The base does get hot during use. For stability sakes, I would keep it on level ground.

We don't have it on a rug, but the few times we have used it so far I don't feel like having it on a rug would be an issue. No fire sparks out of it, and it doesn't seem to get hot underneath.

You don't have to worry. It does not get hot. The children and pet will be fine. Never had an issue of any kind. It's sturdy so it would just fall over. My 2 cats had no issue with it last winter. But I would keep the cord out of the way for safety reasons (don't want anyone falling over it) and place it were the children will not play with the control buttons on the front.

I use mine in a carpeted office, so not a lot of slippery conditions, but it stays put well in that setting.

Our unit is on commercial carpet.. I went and looked and appears it would sit on thicker carpet without a problem. If it is an issue, lay down a piece of gym rubber matting and problem solved. The unit is really very nice, company staff have commented on how it is as just like their doctors office scale.

I keep it plugged in all day, every day and have for months. My cat stays on it much of the time since I am keeping my kitty in the basement due to allergies. It is not noisey in the least. The mat does not get at all too hot. I think it is regulated to the pet s body temp. The mat does not even feel warm until you place your hand on it for a bit. I highly recommend.

I have mine on carpet and have no problems. I use it to divide my office space so I move it everyday.

Hi KT, I have the desk on hardwood floors and haven't had any problems. The desk stays pretty stationary and isn't a problem and I'm careful about how I move the chair in and out. I imagine I could find some pad or another protective cover for the chair legs but I haven't had a need to do so. Hope this helps. The desk has worked out really well for me ... I have a small space and just needed something to keep organized. I also have pulled together the wrought iron look in other areas of the room so this desk fit in quite nicely.

Mine is in a 3 sided cabinet with an open back. Doesn't seem to get too hot. Mine does have space on both sides, front and top of unit . Our open back allows for plenty of air circulation.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

No it is not too heavy and because the weight is dispersed anyway. Carpet is not a problem. The bottom of the sauna may get somewhat warm but never hot.

Mine is about that and it slides under quite easily and mine is on carpet. You shouldn't have any issues with it...

It doesn't get super hot unless you have it outside in partial / direct sunlight . However I would say after 2 hrs its starts to lose its cooling effects. After that I will throw the pad in the fridge to cool it down. The package that I received the mat in says you can cool it by freezing or refrigerating. Hope this helps! I love this product and would highly recommend it!

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.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)

You would not necessarily need a mat unless you plan on sweating a lot then you may want that on the mat and not the carpet:)
