They work awesome in our studio. Need to go from floor to ceiling with them for best results.

i do not think that the will help-what you can try is curtains on the wall and maybe one or two sofa also you must remember an empty room sounds different without people. shane

These will reduce echo only slightly, since the echoe's are coming off your walls and ceiling, not from the corners. Try the Auralex SonoLite 1 inch Thick, 2 Feet by 2 Feet Acoustic Absorption Panel's They come in black and tan and look really stylish. Each panel under $30. I have many of them and they work wonderfully.

Honestly it will reduce your echoe to a minimum but you really need some wall panels. Not a lot, but just a few to bounce of the amplification in the room. Good luck with your studio.

If should not if removed properly. Watch the video. Its reminds you of the feel of pulling a rubber band, when you are doing it right. It's amazing how clean your walls are. Wood should not be that different. Honestly until I read the directions properly, I was peeling the paint off my walls when removing. Now since I live in a rental I use them for everything I can. Just read directly on how to disengage and follow the weight capacity for hanging. You will love using them. Hope you find this helpful.

did a little research on frieze carpet and it seems to be non loop..meaning strings i guess...overall i think that it is more tough to push without the beater bar on...just like a regular vacuum that is not self propelled... more muscle strength is need but it is doable...dont know if that is your whole house or not... more strength to push forward overall

If you purchase the Iris High Shield box that is recommended, it fits inside the box and has high enough walls that nothing will get on the sides of the box....unless your cat is really crafty

I'd ask for the size of the box it comes in and assume you can get it back in there. This thing is big though as compared with others on the market. They may be better off with something smaller if to be used indoors. I have an open concept house and it still seemed squished in my living room. Maybe measure out them dimensions on the floor so you can conceptualize the footprint.

I have a rug with thick black stripes - my roomba apparently thinks they are edges of cliffs. You can "modify" the sensors easily by covering them with approx 1"sq pieces of white typing/printer paper. (If the paper is too thick or not white, the roomba will see it as a cliff. If is regular printer paper it apparently thinks everything is fine. If you need the cliff sensors, be careful because this effectively blinds it. If your house is all one floor, I would just leave the pieces on.

Basically I bought this panel for an unused door between my living area and my tenant's bedroom. It workers great on blocking the noise and I use many screws to close the gap between the panel and the wall. I never open the door again since I put the panel on. So I guess if you want to get the best result on blocking the noise better to screw the edge on the wall, because any gap would cause the noise come in. But if you need to open the window or door to get air and light I think this panel will be kind of heavy to move around like those curtains.

It works great with the area rugs, it even does well with our bath mats which have no backing, though it sometimes flips a corner up, but it's not a big deal. I upgraded mine to a brush roller which is less noisy on the wood flooring. You might also look at the XV-21 which comes with both.

Really the only way it would help in another room would be for it to be in that room. I'm sure it will help some but you would be tring to damper sound that is already bleeding into your space. It works best by receiving soun waves and stopping them. A cheaper method would be to hang stryofoam panels on your wall. you can get them at Lowe's.

I put some Command Clear strips on the corners (pulling side exposed so when I want to move it I can dot without damaging the floor) and it works great, no more sliding!

Well, it did not happen with me. The mice vanished when I plugged the units in the wall socket. That was four months ago, and they never came back despite the ferocious winter. I find these devices to be excellent. Our home has wooden floors, vaulted ceiling, ceiling is wood. The ultra sounds bounce all over the place.

I've got cats in the house and I have the speakers about as close to the wall and to my entertainment center (so they don't get behind the center itself!). Bass reflex response is excellent, even at close wall proximity, though I would say better low frequency response would result if they were pulled out a little. I've had these speakers for quite some time and they've been an excellent replacement for my old Cerwin Vega(s). Hope this helps you out.

I am not sure to be honest with you. My best answer would be to echo HerbieK. This has made a huge difference for me to wire up my personal space. Here is a URL to a photo that shows how it is setup in my closet. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=666709440022560

I have 3 in my home office/ guitar room. They work great when we play music. The flooring is pergo(laminated wood) and we have had no problem. I also have 1 in my closet where i have cherry flooring. No scratching, digging, nothing. They are great

Check with the Manufacturer to see if your laminate flooring requires a vapor barrier above grade.If you don't and run into problems in a few years the warranty will be Void...!It should be clearly listed on the sheets in the boxes.Is there a chance of moisture upstairs? Leaks? Kids?Is noise a factor?Make sure your flooring sits in the room for 48 hours minimum... Before Install.I have never installed a floor without some sort of Vapor barrier. Good Luck! I hope this helps!

It's designed for a corner and that's really where you should use it. There are MANY models out there to be used flush against the wall, I suggest you get one of those. This piece is for a corner.

a rep from i robot said it is the cliff detector thinking the dark color is a stair it is going to fall off of and it does NOT WORK on DARK CARPET or surfaces. you can call yourself and ask. or just google or youtube how to deactivate them (if you don't have stairs) or use a virtual wall instead if you do and deactivate the sensors on the bottom by covering the 5 window sensors with tin foil. google it.
