Cozy Products Super Foot Warmer, Small and Portable Heated Rubber Mat, Personal Space Heater for Home, Office, Garage, and Car, 135 Watts, 8 lbs, 36.5" x 16" x 0.25", Black

Ok I bought this in Nov 2013 now it is Dec 2023 so it’s had time to break in. Originally bought for garage workshop . Keep feet a bit warm but not a space heater by any means. Elderly back yard cat found it & spent all winter sitting on it to the extent that lost fur on her belly. I thought she had a condition but once spring came , her fur grew back. She subsequently got a heated pet mat that was not so hot. Rubber smell is long gone. Have used in a basement bath room, nice but too hot for bare feet. . Probably its best use has been a foot warmer under desk in a cool, cement floored office. It’s worth it. No durability issues, just keeps on working

Just got this but had to pay for shipping as it was not on Prime at the time. The pad is 1/2 inch thick and very strong construction and quite stiff. Looks durable as hello. I would not use it for its cushioning effect alone as it is not very spongy. The mat is ribbed on top and sticks extremely well to the floor so no worries about it sliding around. The cord has a lit on/off switch on it and is about 6 foot long with the on/off switch 2 foot 3 inches from the pad. There are two slight smooth bumps about a foot long and an inch wide at the ends that gets slightly hotter than the rest of the pad. The heating goes from edge to edge on the narrow side and stops about 3 inches from the ends. Very even heat (except for the slightly hotter bumps).TEMPERATURE READINGS: Full on under the pad is 119.3 degrees F. On the medium setting, it is 107.8 degrees F. Now for the title part. Since the mat draws 135 watts and is purely resistive heat, ANY sort of dimmer circuit will work with the pad (the instructions do say that the pad is thermostatically controlled but does not seem to bother it to be dimmed). I am using a Westek touchpad light dimmer available here on Amazon. It works fine and I can tell what setting I have it on (or off) by the brightness of the on/off switch of the heating pad cord light. The reason I am using this is that I have found the pad on FULL is too hot on my bare feet which is what I, err, wear all year long here in Connecticut (getting the mail and newspaper with snow on the ground is exciting...). The medium setting is just right and it is nice to be able to turn it off and on with the touch pad on my desk. I can see how some folks who use it in a cold shop with work boots on could say that it is not hot enough but for bare feet... Another big warning sign on the cord is that the pad should not be used on wood or carpeted floors. Even on high, I don't consider it a real menace as it never gets too hot under the pad to the touch. I am using it on my wood floor and chair protector pad under my desk and so far no fires or melted plastic, heh.The smell? Yeah, there is a little bit but not very noticeable, some when on full, none when on medium (I donno if it fades over time, only had it for a few days).Weird. My bare feet are a bit slippery after I take them off the pad. Silicone protection added to the pad? Nothing dangerous mind...I am just waiting for the day when my cats discover this new and wonderful source of heated bliss.

Just got it yesterday and the indicator light on the switch stopped working already. This might explain why some reviewers complained that the mat stopped working after 1 day. Mat is still working, just the light on the switch is not. Ridiculous though to design it that way, but I will not return and will live with it.With regards to some reviewers that complained that it never reaches 135F please realize that placing the mat on the cold floor either concrete or engineered planks acts as a giant heat sink to draw heat away from the mat. Heat sinks are used on all electronic devices to protect them from overheating, your phone uses them. In this case, however, we do not want to heat sink the mat but keep the energy, so you have to insulate the mat from the floor by placing a cardboard under. You will reach comfortable temperature, close to what is specified. This is not a fire hazard at all, 135F will never ignite a piece of paper, you get much higher temps in your car on a sunny summer day and I doubt anyone’s Kleenex tissues ever caught on fire.With regards to rubber smell, yes, it is outgassing the rubber smell, but this is very subjective, it does not bother me personally, but I see how some people might not like it. I think it does not smell any worse than any other rubber mat you might buy for your front door.The oily film on the mat someone complained about is there because of manufacturing so it is easier to remove it from the mold after the mat is pressed so it would not stick. You can wash it off with soap, I used Windex and it worked.4 stars form me because of switch light issue, other than that I like the warm foot feeling of my feet in my basement office as I work from my home office every day.

I am not sure what everyone is talking about with the smell. I took the chance and ordered this rubber heated matt regardless of the reviews. I found that when first turned on and it started to heat up it had a normal rubber smell for maybe one minute, then nothing. Don't listen to these reviews I think people just need something to always complain about maybe lol. This product is great I am using it under my desk on a cement shop floor. This product for me is a game changer. I no longer have freezing feet. Overall extremely happy with this purchase.

Muy bien

I read reviews before I purchased this and most people complain about the rubber smell. They are not wrong. It stinks.As soon as I brought the box in the house I could smell how bad it was. I took it out of the box and had it run a little over 2 days in the garage, and the rubber smell dissipated slightly. There was an oil on the rubber that I tried to take off with paper towels, but the paper towels just turned black. I ended up washing the mat on both sides with some dish soap, water and paper towels, but the smell still persisted. I'm now using this as was intended, as a mat on top of a concrete floor in a makeshift basement office and it works well, but it still smells bad after 2 weeks of use. I'm not sure if I'm getting use to the smell, or whether it's dissipating.If you are at all sensitive to the smell of rubber, stay away. If you can put up with the smell, the product works well, and my feet are now toasty warm now in my office. 1 star taken off for the smell and the amount of work I had to do just to make it bearable.

My entryway is small and unheated. I solved that by plugging in two of these mats.They do show salt marks way too much. Solution - snap together rubber mats designed for garages and basements from Home Depot. They have holes in them so the water drips down and dries below. Et voila, no more ugly white salt marks to clean every day! I'll clean them at the end of snow season when I unplug them and store them for next winter.These mats warm the foyer, dry my boots, skates, and snow shoes, are warm on the tootsies AND heat the foyer. I could hang out on them all day in my socked feet.There are some complaints about the smell and the oily feel of these mats. The smell dissipates quite quickly. The oiliness is protecting the rubber from aging, and does not rub off, so why complain about it?

I love it and would not do without it! I want to buy more and put them everywhere. My feet are cozy and warm. It does get too hot for socks sometimes. It is a nice heavy gauge rubber and the perfect size for under my desk. Its probably not recommended for under a mattress, but I am thinking I may try it. Talk about a heated bed! Heck of a lot cheaper then turning the heat on higher in a room because your feet are cold. This lets you be cool up top and warm footsies.
