Pay attention to the pile height here: .33  It's really quite thin. It might work for you but even with a pad underneath, this feels very thin and not as thick as previous rugs I've had at the same price point. In shopping today, contemplating returning this, I see rugs at the same price point that are .5 or higher in pile. Not sure why this one is so thin and so expensive as thicker rugs.  I would recommend for a good "feel" under your feet at your front door or other places, go with .5, or preferably .75.  I think at 1 your vacuum will struggle, esp if a robot.   This is for my front door so will mostly be a leaf and shoe catcher, so it will work, but definitely not the luxurious feel I usually like in a rug.
