Does this work over carpet?

Only a low cut or tight weave, a thicker will still let the air escape under the edges.

The concept works over carpet but it sits low to the ground. I use it on a wood floor. The air flow is great. I imagine a lot of the heat/ac would be absorbed in the carpet.

I would assume so (I have hard wood, so not 100% sure). Even on the HW floors, I used painter's tape (blue tape) to secure the plastic to the floor vent so it wouldn't move around, and then added the extension to be even with the depth of the couch. That way, the heat (or air cond) enters the room without heating the underside of the couch.

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

depends on the thickness of the carpet, but generally speaking -yes! my daughter drives it all over the carpet at her grand dads house.

Yes it does, it doesn't damage the carpet. Altho keep in mind its a light vacuum, not for thick carpets.

It does, but it leaves the carpet very damp because there is no suction feature. I would recommend that it be used only on area rugs or throw rugs that can be draped over something to dry top and bottom. I use it primarily for tile and Pergo floors. It works very for that application.

Yes, it does work on carpet, but not as well. And it has worked for us as described, but I wouldn't buy it for my child again. He lost interest after 10 minutes and hasn't played with I since.

HI....I don't see why it wouldn't work on carpet. It will stay stationary wherever you put it. Hope this helps.

Short answer is I'm not sure. I have mine on carpet over wood flooring, and it is just fine.

Yes, but it's not perfect when you go on and off a rug. I use it for both bare floor and rugs on Cape Cod where there is a lot of sand and dust. (I also have two dogs and a cat, and so far ir has held up well.

Although not ideal it works. I have mine on carpet, and it works just as well. If you are concerned you could place a large piece of plywood down underneath.

Ebelle, I don't think it would work as I think it could cause possible tripping. I personally would not use on carpet. Good luck.

Yes, it works great on carpet ! Cant believe all the hair and lint it picks up...great suction.

I roll mine over medium thickness carpet and rugs no prob. A little rickety at first but I put epoxy all over the fittings.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

I have never tried to install these gripper treads over carpet. I put them outside on the stairs where it gets slippery. I don't think they were designed or intended for carpet but I'm sure you could try it if you had a good staple gun or something.

They probably can be used over very low pile carpet such as indoor/outdoor. I use mine over a ceramic tile floor, which I'm sure is the intended use. You just want to make sure that your footing is steady, and the rubber tiles don't shift.

I used it on carpet and with a very large rug. It works great at keeping the rug down. I have lifted it up to see if residue was left and so far so good. I have only had it on for about 6 months so I'm not sure if residue would occur if left on for a long period but I'm happy with the results so far.
