Can this product be used on a carpeted floor? I understand many of the mats are not supposed to.

Yes it can go on carpet but it is not a mat. It is about 4" tall when fully inclined and about 1 1/2" tall when flattened.

I think it would be fine on carpeted floor. The bottom of the unit doesn't heat up at all.

If there were instructions that said not to, I missed them. I have been using it on carpeted office floors since I purchased it. No problems with that, so far. The heated part is raised and doesn't make direct contact with the floor. Hope this helps!

Our Barracuda exercise mat works well on most carpets. It may shift a bit depending on the thickness and shine/gloss of the carpet, but so far most people have found that it works well on carpet. Thanks for your interest in our product:)

I use it both on hardwood and on tile. It doesn't have any floor-specific properties, so it's very usable. Would only be useless on carpet!

I use mine on carpet...no problems so far. I don't have the instructions handy to confirm that carpet is OK.

I haven't tried it on carpeted floor, but I believe it would be effective in this case. However, an all-rubber traditional door stop might be more effective for this particular use case.

I have used mine on our short carpet floors, but it does not work very well on carpet.

I wouldn't imagine it having any ill efferct on a carpet at all....I would use it on my own carpet if I needed to. Currently it's saving my wood floors from destruction from the wheels on my desk chair....

I have not tried it on that type of flooring. I use it on carpet and it works great. I wouldn't suggest it though being that the wheel is plastic it may slip and you could injure yourself or ruin your floor. As well I would suggest just buying an area rug and use that. The product is worth the investment if your willing to do the work.

Yes, we use it on carpet and it works perfectly. There are foot extensions that come with it specifically designed to allow it to work on carpet.

I'm sorry, we haven't used it on carpet. Depends on whether it's a smooth or nubby carpet. If it's smooth I'm sure it would do a nice job.

Yes, I'm sure you could use it on carpet. I didn't try the tape that came with it, but you could just use that, or packing tape might work.

It will scratch any non-carpeted flooring. I have wood floors through out my house. It was only after I ordered, received, opened it & watched the instructional DVD that I learned it was not to be used on wood & other finished flooring because it will scratch it. My son promptly demonstrated that for me. Now I have a circular pattern of scratches from his "trick" he showed me. I would not have purchased this if I had known it would scuff the flooring. My kids did use it outside, too, & it made the bottom of it even more roughed up. If you have carpet & smaller kids I'd say yes, it might be worth the price. Definitely NEED carpet!!!

I used it on a wooden floor and it was way too painful. It gave me bruises and I don't bruise easily. As far as rolling there is no problem. Guess maybe it might work ok on carpet.

You don't want to use it for that purpose. It is difficult to remove and would leave a residue. You are better off going some where that sells carpet. They have specific products to go under carpet to not only protect the floor but to also act as an anti slip mat to keep the carpet in place. There is everything from a waffle-weave rubber mat to a thick anti-slip padding. When choosing be aware of any doors that may have to clear the carpet. That may dictate the type of mat you buy.

I use mine on carpet, but the carpet is thin not plush and it works fine, hope that helps!

I have never needed to try it on carpet; however if I needed to, I would try it on a small section of carpet that is "under a bed or somewhere else out of sight" first.

I only use it on carpet. I have another that I use on wood and tile floors.
