5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the office, December 2, 2009

This review is from: Indus-Tool FWB 16-by-36-Inch Foot-Warmer Mat (Kitchen)

I used this item under my desk all last season instead of a typical space heater. I am an energy conscious person and I knew that most small space heaters start at around 1000 watts. They blow hot air which promptly rises to the top of the room. Ironic since most people are complaining about their cold feet. Because this item only draws 90-120 watts, it can very safely be run through a timer. This allows you to have it automatically turn on just before you arrive at the office and turn off when you leave in the evening. There is an odor associated when you first begin using it but it does fade in time to be almost un-noticeable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great in bedroom, February 18, 2009

Well - you're not supposed to do what I've done, but I put this mat under a braided rug on my wife's side of the bed. This is over an unheated (but insulated) crawl space. It has always been a 'cold spot' for her. Since the heater is temp-regulated, I don't see where I can get in trouble with this - a rubber-backed rug may be another matter.

She reports that now she can sit on that side of the bed and brush her hair. I have the thing on a timer coming on in the evening,and then morning. I can tell that it helps warm the room as well.

There is that 'rubbery' smell that I don't really find so bad (neither does my wife, and she's pretty smell-sensitive). that should wear off with time.

All in all - very satisfied, and a great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Slight odor, January 11, 2007

I have had this mat in place under my desk at work and running on high for about a month. It works just as I had hoped. No more cold feet! The smell of "hot rubber" was very evident the first week or so. Even now, if I mistakenly leave it on overnight, there is still a very slight odor that is noticeable when I first come in the office in the morning. (The office is approximately 18'x30' with about 13' high ceiling and is kept closed up at night.) Perhaps with another month or two of use, the smell will go away entirely, but even if it does not, it is not a deal breaker for me because it is hardly noticeable any more.
