What is the input side? Fuzzy or smooth side?

The singed or smooth side has the greatest dust cake release properties and generally is the "input" or facing contaminant side. There is no engineered direction of flow to the fibers (the same particle size will be trapped in either flow direction), however the singed side is mechanically stronger as the filaments have been melted together in a strong mechanical bond (relative to the untreated spun bonded fabric). There are a few applications with liquids where the fabric is not only relied upon to filter but also to trap particles as the flocculation precipitation from suspension in a liquid in a sluice type arrangement, in which case the "fuzzy" side is preferable as it reduces particle creep in the sluice-way.

Just for you, I gave up 2 minutes of my life to go to the back yard and check on this. Guess what? It is smooth as you probably already know from other answers. The old one was smooth, too, and I think it pretty much has to be to get good suction. Anyway, the new one works better than the old and is easy to install. Buy it !!!

It's textured/bumpy on one side and smooth on the other. Literally just checked it.

Not actual buttons... More like sensory buttons like you hover your finger close to. It's pretty sleek IMO. The menu system is pretty easy to use, not too difficult.

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

Sorry, no idea. It was a gift to someone else. I do not recall any settings to select smooth or chunky, just that it overheated and quit before it finished its first batch. It was returned.

It is pretty smooth. depending on what vegetables I use, sometimes there is some foam, but overall I would say its smooth.

Yes one side is smooth. Excellent product at a excellent price. Works very well

One side is smooth. One side has grooves. I can't see them well enough to say if they're circular or not.

It is capable of both. It has a small button behind the wheel, that allows you to choose your preference. I like the smooth fluid feel myself.

I have no idea. I never could find a definitive answer anywhere. Even the box doesn't state which side is up. I used mine both ways and I honestly never noticed a difference either way.

One side is textured and the other side smooth. They're great!!! Both sides grip really good. You won't be disappointed.

Nope, there is no difference. The sides are the same. Either way is fine. Enjoy!

We always use the soft side down. Its more comfortable against the body and it's more stable when on a hard surface. I picked this up for my Mother so that it would be a solid platform for her laptop and it has worked great!

Good question! I think they are smooth not bumpy. But that's my perspective. Enjoy!

I use a wireless mouse. There is a slight sound, but I wouldn't call it scratchy. It's hardly noticeable at all.

the rough side which is also not sticky faces up the other side that looks smooth but has some type of film to grip the floor faces down. make sure to wipe down where you are going to lay the mat before placement for it to stick better.
