Is this a good choice for a carpet floor?

I think so, it's very sturdy. I use it sometimes on my area rug and it's fine.

I'm sorry I am not sure as to what the thickness a carpet style mat is...the best I think I could answer you is that I believe it may be a bit thinner, but it is not too thin...a decent thickness...no spikes. It has a smooth side and then the other side a little rough. Hopefully that makes sense. We have it on a wood floor and it has worked well for us...we have two.

If it's on carpet I think it'd be a sturdy substitute to a hardwood dance floor. There are little grooves where the boards snap together that make the board not so flat.

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 think hardwood floor would be best but you could probably use it on a carpet that isn't too plush. Don't think it would cause damage As long as it didn't slide around. I have a work out mat under mine.

I have mine on carpet and it hasn't ruined the carpet. I think it will be safe.

I think it would be fine on carpet. It fits in the corner, so as long as no one pulls on it I think it would be sturdy.

No, it is good as it is. It holds tight. I had mine on carpet - no problems.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.

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

I agree with the other commenter...This is would not be an ideal choice for rugs/carpet. It does a great job picking up small debris on tile and hardwood flooring as well as food crumbs, etc. on upholstered furniture when used as a hand vac.

I have medium thick carpet, fairly new and it sits very well. I'm happy with how stable it is, three legs doesn't make any difference. It has good portion of height for the three legs and maybe the three table tops help that.

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

Rita, Yes it is. It is just as good on carpet as any of the much larger machines that I have owned. There is a slight trade off with the self adjusting head in that it doesn't pick up large pieces (dropped peanuts for example) without some maneuvering to lift the head. I do not find this problematic as the unit more than makes up for it by being able to go directly to bare floor cleaning without any adjustments.

I used it on a small carpet in the garage and it worked well. Haven't tried it in a large area.

I use it on a carpet out of hyper concern for my wood floor. It works fine.

I third that. It is fairly heavy for how little it looks is actually there material - wise. It has 2 adjustable stabilizers. Sturdy, heavy = stable on Carpet. I'd be more worried About permanent indentations in your carpet.
