Are the failures happening on carpet or hard floors?

Both, seemed to be something about the battery holder not functioning when the battery needed to be changed. I gave up even tho my cats really loved for the short time it worked.

Both. I tried it in both areas. It isn't getting "hung up" on carpeting, it just stops moving.

mine has failed on carpet - never tried on hard floors. My cat wants it on 24/7 she really loves it - unfortunately it does not hold up for very long - I just threw away the third one. I have spent 60.00 on three of these and I cannot tell you how much I have spent on batteries. I told my cat today, its broke again and we are not getting anymore.

I have carpeted floors. This tips over easy and I found that if one dvd falls, the entire row falls. Anchoring the unit to the wall minimized this.

Have not tried on carpet, but I believe all scales work best on hard floor, not carpet.

No, and I had this same concern as well. The rubber treads on the wheels make it safe to use on hard wood floors.

Guessing Infrared. Only problem experienced as stated Tracks come off easily on carpet but not on smooth floors. Great fun..

I wish I knew! I've had a couple break but it was when I dropped the brush accidentally. But that was even on carpet. You wouldn't expect the bristle to break on carpet.

The product is great on hard floors and good on carpet. It has problems with rugs on carpet.

We have hard wood floors with a couple of larger area rugs and my "Devil" work well until about the 10th time. The plastic handle cracked. Gotta love duct tape. Yes I should have sent it back but sometimes things get in the way. Needless to say I will NOT be purchasing another DD any time soon. Good luck with yours though.

Mine wore out quickly. It started squealing on carpet and now it squeals on bare floors. The belt on this unit is so tiny and I have found that replacing it does nothing to fix the problem.

I have experienced the same thing. Fortunately, mine is setting on concrete in my basement, so it is not a problem.I belive the feet are made of a plastic resin that just bleeds. Best cleaner I have ever seen for carpets is "Spot Shot", sold at most Home Depots or Lowes.

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

Mine is on top of hard wood floors and I've had no problems with it so far.

I only use carpet mode on extra low for all floors. Make sure to empty canister after every use. It such ks go so much hair that it needs it.

Yes if placed on a hard floor. If placed on carpet it's obviously a bit off.

I'm not sure...Here's what my vacuum does when switching from hard floors to carpet and vice versa. When I'm vacuuming carpet, the motor has a whirling sound, when I switch the button to floors, the whirling stops (quiets down) and just has a vacuum sound. I hope this helps, if not let me know and we'll go from there.

I've moved it from room to room and to different hard floorings without issue. It has always easily reset for me and stayed very accurate. I can't see why you would have any issues.
