Is this approved for use on carpeted floors/
648699
The instructions that came with mine said not to use it on carpet floor. I imagine after a while it will likely discolor carpet and depending on the carpet, possibly melt it.

I've used it on carpet since I got it a year or so ago and I've had no issues :)

No, their lawyers wouldn't approve of any use on surfaces which are flammable which would include wood. I ignore it (on wood) but a wise precaution would be to put a thin bit or reflective insulation (found at Home Depot or Lowes for various applications), maybe aluminum foil would work but double up on it. Best idea yet, put a timer on it where at least you have to reset it if you forget it's on which I do frequently. I works very well but does get hot. I recommend it's careful use.

Instructions are specific on not using it on carpeted floors, but it's OK if you add a layer of insulation, like cardboard. The fact that the instructions OK the use of cardboard makes it seem like the issue is constant heat discoloring the carpet or wood, given that cardboard has a lower ignition point than wool or nylon. By the way, the box it comes in makes a perfect insulator, with a little trimming.

I don't know if it is approved, but I have been using it on a carpet since the day I received it with no problem.

NO...the instructions say not to use on carpet or wooden floors. A simple fix is to buy four floor tiles at a home improvement center and put those on your carpet with the foot warmer on top. That is what I did and it works great.

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

The manufacturer does not recommend itʻs use on carpeted floors. However I use it on a carpeted floor with a cardboard barrier and it does not seem to have caused any problems. I use it just for a few hours at a time, from 1 to 4 hours is average.

No. When I received it, the box clearly said it was not for carpeted floors. I find it very deceiving that this is not included in the description.

It said no in the instructions. Neither carpet nor wooden floors. I guess it's for safety reasons.

Yes. I have only used it standing on carpet. This was an excellent purchase for me. I hope you will be able to enjoy it too.

I am using it on a carpet. I have no problem with it. It looks and works fine on a carpet. From the looks of it, It should work fine on the hard work floor. I am expecting some type of stain on the carpet when I remove it, although I am not sure, you may expect some type of streaks from the rubber when you use it on a long run. Overall it is a good product.

I've never used it on carpet as I have very little carpet in my house and no pets, but the ingredients are not caustic so I believe it would be fine for carpets.

I think it would be fine. I love mine but only use it on carpet but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

It is only good for hardwood, laminate or tile floors. Not carpeting. I use distilled water.

Yes! We actually have it just on the floor right now (carpeted) but I think it could work just fine on hard flooring as the carpet is not thick or anything. SUPER comfortable!

We have it on a hard surface. It is very heavy and very well made. I think it would work just fine on carpet.

I believe it would work fine. It is an excellent product and I don't see any problems with using it on carpet.

Yes. It would not work on carpeting. I have vinyl floors and so does my daughter in law as this was a gift for my grandson. Beware--it is noisy but the kids love it.

Yes it is. I have used mine on carpet all the time with no problems at all. Very sturdy!

Not really. The reason why is if you use it on carpet, you may ruin your carpet. It was designed for floors, yet it does mention you can use it on carpet...but I would advise against that because it gets the steam too hot.

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!

it's designed for light duty, for small area of carpet, it works fine, but I would not recommend this for carpet.

It is made for vinyl and leather so no, I would not use it on a carpet. It would just make it all hard and crunchy.

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!
