I have an elliptical on carpet, & when i use it the machine wobbles A LOT. Would this mat help with keeping the machine from wobbling "side to side"?

I have the mat on carpet and it does not wobble. My carpet is of normal thickness.

Probably not. The mat is heavy duty and very solid with very little "give". My elliptical doesn't wobble and is also silent when i am using it. So my experience may not be helpful! Sharon

I don' know twhy the reader is asking again, when the answer to the question has been provided, that the treadmill will damage flooring. The mat is cheap in comparison to having new flooring installed.

I don't use an elliptical but I think it should. You can email withings and they can have a better answer

I bought this machine about 2 months ago. I've had it upstairs the entire time with zero problems. The weight of this machine is not overbearing so you should have no problems building it upstairs. I didn't put a mat underneath mine but I would advise it.

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

Should do. Mine is under a 80" elliptical which is far longer than our treadmill.

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

It's designed to wobble. The wobble is what allows it to function without what ever your grinding getting stuck, even when you have it set to a fine grind. The side to side movement keeps different sized pieces moving down through the cutting edges. If it was fixed in place, you would have pieces that are too large not feeding through.

I don't think it would wobble at all, we have it on short pile carpeting and it is just fine.

Electric powered cardio equipment such as this will tend to generate static electricity when on a surface such as carpet. Static electricity will tend to attract more dust and carpet fibers to the machine resulting in more regular cleaning. So, placing an elliptical on a mat will not only keep the carpet cleaner from user sweat, but also help keep the machine cleaner. Depending on the thickness of the carpet, a mat will also help stabilize the unit more by offering a more solid surface and reduce any potential rocking caused by the machine sinking into the carpet.

I think I can say yes even on my carpet.But it wriggles a lot when I type on my keyboard.If your com is heavy... I sternly recommend you to go with more expensive one or desk that does not have rollable feature.I think the four rolls on the bottom cause this wriggle.I will try to take them away and place direct on the carpet.But eventually I will use rollable feature quite often for I need to move around my mac for late night job.Hope this could be help to you

I have carpet so no problems with mine but you could try the rubber grip mats used to keep kitchen rugs in place or place a heavy toy or bed on the edge or corners of the playmat.

Yes, I would say that it would since the machine is quite heavy and has a very solid feel to it. It does not wobble.

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

Our mat lays flat on very thick carpet and the edge is tapered. It is very thick and the edge does not curl so I don't think you should worry about tripping on this mat. With that being said be careful when transitioning from one type of flooring to another kind because no one wants to fall.

Yes. A mat helps reduce the number of carpet fibers that can find their way into and severely damage the treadmill's mechanical and electrical systems.

Mine is on tile floor. Depending on the thickness & pile of the rug, it may wobble somewhat.
