will this scale fuction on a thick carpet?

I would say not as well as it does on a flat surface. When I weighed myself with this scale being on a thick carpet,it was not the same as when I'd had my weight taken at my physician's office. I waited an hour or so and then weighed myself with the scale on a flat, hard surface. It was then the same weight as it was in the doctor's office.I was told, then, by the nurse that it is always best to weigh yourself - on ANY scale - on a FLAT EVEN surface. I believe this to be accurate information. But I wouldn't worry about a difference of 1-2 pounds!!

I don't have thick carpet so I don't know.Maybe get a piece of plywood and I suspect it will be ok.Scale has an error of about plus/minus 5lbs...

First of all, the word you want to use here is FUNCTION and not "fuction". That's not important, but whatever.

phil, if you didn't receive my reply, try a thick piece of vinyl flooring cut to the size of scale or try a piece of wood maybe 3'4 of an inch thick, stain it dark ans sit scale on it. the scale is a very well made scale. best i have owned. hope this helps.steve

Yes....we have carpeting in our house and it works just fine! I think the fact that it has the 4-footed base is a big plus!!

No. The brushroller does not have enough power for thicker carpets, and will likely stop. You may get it to work a little bit if you go really slow.

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.

in general any scale needs to be on a flat firm surface. if your bathroom is carpeted I would think that to be quite unusual ---GOOD LUCK

I tried it on carpet and it didn't weight right. Its should be on something flat, but it's great for the price. After 2 months no problems at all.

I have found that it works on a really low pile carpet. It isn't as fast as it is on a tile/wood floor.

Harder surfaces will of course be more stable. Mine is on carpet, but the carpet itself is very thin, so there isn't much give. I wouldn't stand it on very soft or deep carpets.

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----

It probably depends on the carpet but it really shouldn't be a problem on carpet. It's pretty sturdy.

It would take some going over and over but it would work. It works best on carpet.

No and it requires a little effort to move if it's placed on a rug or thick carpet.

Unlikely unless the carpet is low pile and very dense industrial with low drag.

I'm sorry, we haven't used it on carpet. Depends on whether it's a smooth or nubby carpet. If it's smooth I'm sure it would do a nice job.

I've only used it on very thin carpet and it does go further after getting off the track.

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.
