Can this scale be placed on a carpet?

No, it does not work on a carpet. No digital scale will work on carpet. Regular scales may work, but they are not accurate on carpet. They all need a solid surface.

It will not work well on a carpet. All digital scales need a flat even surface to produce accurate results. The four feet on these scales have sensors that need a firm floor for reliable measurements. One workaround might be to get a 1 x 1 foot flooring tile from home depot / lowes and use it between the scale and carpet.

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

It has four little rubber feet so as long as they all touch it should work fine. I wanted a scale that would work on carpet and this one has no moving parts for about one inch off the floor so it does just fine on carpet. If the floor is especially rough as in, say, rustic tile, then I'd use a pad or flat board under it to make sure all the feet touch. The scale base is pretty ridgid but somewhere up around 250/300 pounds you might be able to get it to flex a little. Good choice for odd circumstances tho----

I have a hardwood floor, but my assumption would be not accurate on carpet. For the price, I'd buy it and test it by putting 5 lb bag of sugar on it to test for accuracy. Return if not satisfied!! Hope that helps??!

Yes, just be sure the scale is on a hard flat surface and don't move it in between weigh ins.

Dana, I had to make sure the scale was on a solid floor. If it is on carpet, you will get variable numbers.

Yes the Hypervibe can be placed on carpet. The machine is on feet which raises it off the ground so carpet is a nice surface for the machine.

Thank you for your message John. I would like to direct you to Health-O-Meter to answer your question regarding the calibration process. Their Tech Support division can be reached at 800-638-3722. They can assist you regarding any questions you may have on recalibration. The scale can be used on carpet, but I would recommend placing something underneath the scale to stabilize it like a piece of plywood. Please let me know if you need any additional assistance. Thank you very much!

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.

Yes, it's stable to use on carpet. It was a really good buy and worth the price in my opinion. Enjoy!

I haven't used it on carpet. But I assume if U put one of those plastic chair mats down, that it should work fine.

Only if you lean it up against a wall or dresser or... The outer edge of the scale is a ~3/8" piece of glass that is the platform you step on. The framing for the floor "weighing" foundation is attached inside the glass platform about 1" from the edges. Leaning could slip since it is only the edge holding it up and on hardwood, the movement of the boards when walking neat the scale might send it down. On carpet, it would not be a problem. With hardwood, you would probably want to creat a base to keep it from slipping down. Hope this helps...

Simple solution to using it on carpet, go to Home Depot and purchase an appropriate sized (18x18) ceramic floor tile for $10. I've been using my scale on a tile on a carpeted floor for years.

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

Mine works fine on carpet. Put something heavy of the bottom shelf and you should be ok. And I place my things toward the center of each shelf. Looks really good.
