Anyone use an electric rug heater?

Has anyone used or been in a room with an electric rug heater used under area rugs like this:

I'd like to get supplemental heating for some basement rooms and was wondering how well they work.

Cheers,

its UL listed so it should be safe.

with that said - i have a rule in my house for winter; everyone has to wear socks, slippers, sweaters and pants. if you are still cold then, then i will turn up the head. I am able to keep the heat at 20 celcius in the winter without moans and groans from the wife and kids. Though my mother in law likes to show up in a t-shirt and skinny jeans and tennis socks and i have to crank it to 25 :neutral: My basement stays the warmest though due to location of the furnace.


try keeping the furnace fan on all year round to keep the temps equalized through the house.
