Is this safe to run under a rug on hardwood floor?

I've had this under a rug for years...and it finally stopped a fire in my bedroomwhen my portable heater overheated. I just ordered a bunch more of these cords.Being under the run and running my portable heater in there for years withoutany problem to the cord. The cord is still perfect even after the almost fire.It worked perfectly and protected my wall plug and house electrical system.

No, it isn't. There aren't any manufacturers of extension cords that will say anything except to never do this.

Mine's on carpet on a basement floor. If you are upstairs from others, whether they will hear you probably has more to do with floor/construction. There are heavy duty no skid rubber feet on all legs that I imagine will absorb most sound and should keep it from moving. If it's a floor that slips (hardwood/tile), I would think a small carpet under it would work as long as the carpet was also rubber backed. BTW, I still use this rebounder four - five days a week and am loving its sturdiness. It still appears brand new. (I mostly use it barefoot, but wear athletic shoes sometimes.)

It will do fine under a carpet. Electrical fires are usually caused by the extension cord being overloaded, IE a large appliance plugged into a skinny extension cord. You may still have a trip hazard if this rug is in a high traffic area.

Yes definitely. It is very unstable. You have to be careful in the house too especially when it changes from hardwood floors to carpet.

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

Absolutely! It works very well on my hardwood floors but it is also capable of going across our low grade area rugs without getting stuck.

I tend to run it on area rugs and bare hardwood and marble floors. It has not been an issue I have had to deal with.

I use this on my hardwood floors in my living room...I just put a square of drawer liner under it. As others have written, i wouldn't drag or slide it across.

I dont think that would be a safe idea. Unless you have carpeted bedroom. When I tried to excercise with the step, it kept on slipping. I almost fell backwards. Scary moment. Be safe

I think it is safe to sit on a hardwood floor, but I would recommend sitting a towel under to be on the safe side as well as one to step onto when you get out. I was skeptical when I first got it but still think this is by far one of the best things I have purchased for myself.

I have used it on carpet and hardwood and it works fine on both. However, the board does move a little more on carpet but when that happens I just reposition it and keep going. It does not cause any damage underneath. Hope this helps.

I have not had any problems using it on my hardwood floors. Please note that I never leave it to rest in one spot. If I need to pause, I place the steamer on a folded towel.

I think it would be fine on carpeted floor. The bottom of the unit doesn't heat up at all.

The instructions say to avoid possible damage to wood floors under area rugs either move the area rug to a non wood hard floor or place water proof material (plastic) underneath them before cleaning.

No it's too light to do any harm. We have hardwood floors and haven't had a problem.
