If used indoor, can it be done without carpet? Or better to be on carpet?

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!!!

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

There's nothing to do. It's calibrated at the factory and is amazingly accurate. But I would not use it on carpet. A stable solid floor is assumed in the design.

True. You can use in bote surfaces but depending on how thick the carpet is it may affect the stability of your baby and perhaps easier to become detached the different panels.

Sorry, we didn't use it on carpet. Off the hardwood floor and the furniture though, it camp off easily

Yes I have it indoors.Only thing no rubber feet so if you are using on tile or wood you would need to protect your floors.I got some furniture sliders the ones for chairs and used them. Works just fine.

You could use it without wheels but it might scratch your floor. Maybe buy rubber feet from Home D.

i would say no to carpet, it is very low profile, works great on my hardwood floor.....

It's not necessary for carpet protection really but it is important part of protecting your treadmill. I was told that not using it could cause dust buildup and static from the carpet causing the motor to short circuit/burn out or something along those lines.

Yes! I use mine on a carpeted floor and haven't had any problems. I actually think it might be preferred to use on carpet. It also comes with a little mat that you can put under the machine to help with carpet indentions. Enjoy the machine if you purchase it--I love mine! :)

I bought the mat along with the treadmill, but I haven't used it. I don't believe it is necessary on carpet floors.

Yes, we did for a few months in a large, carpeted room until the weather became nicer, then we moved it outside. I think the chances of getting hurt on this would be the same on grass or carpet. Enjoy:) We still love ours!

Standard carpeting with standard padding, yes, because the base is so heavy. There is a very slight tilt that is not really noticeable, but it might be worse if you had thicker carpet and/or padding.

It can be used inside or outside, if the floor is hard and not carpet and you had plenty of room for it to get around more easier instead of pranging into clutter etc

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

we have ours on carpet, no problem, we have it weighted down so it does not move easily.

Yes you can, but it's quite heavy and doesn't roll easily over carpet. But we have moved it both into and back out of our bedroom and into the family room st the other end of the house. I wouldn't want to do it on a daily basis or by myself though.

I did without incident.. in fact I now have it on a carpet rug on carpet since I am in a rental with nice carpet... but even direct on carpet I had no issues... it does mention in the instructions to put a mat under it on carpet incase of leaving marks from the motor... but has never been an issue for me and I have both the red and the black model.
