The feet on this leave black marks on my carpet. Is it the particular set of feet that came with mine, or do they all have the potential to rub off?

Mine have not left black marks and I have a cream colored carpet that would have shown any type of mark.

I have experienced the same thing. Fortunately, mine is setting on concrete in my basement, so it is not a problem.I belive the feet are made of a plastic resin that just bleeds. Best cleaner I have ever seen for carpets is "Spot Shot", sold at most Home Depots or Lowes.

Maybe its that set of feet because I haven't had that problem and I have pretty light colored carpets.

Mine do not rub off at all and have been on my light carpet for a couple of years. Maybe they have oil from the manufacturer. Or it after washing them with vinegar or Pinesol it still does this, I would definitely see if the manufacturer change suppliers for the rubber feet recently. If so, ask for a replacement from the previous supplier.

Mine have never left black marks, it's possible it is the pair of legs that came with your trampoline. Maybe you can ask if they can be replaced.

The picture I see seems wrong. It comes up just a few inches around the entire mat. Your foot would be on factory plastic, I believe.

Hi we have tile floors & have had no problems with the stools making any marks on the floor. Love the stools.

I have light colored carpet as well and recently moved my treadmill and there was no problem with the mat bleeding color on my carpet. I had it in the first location for about eight months and use my treadmill daily, hope this helped you. Happy Running :)

No, no rubber on the feet. I'm sure you can get inexpensive "furniture glidders" from a place like Home Depot or Walmart to place on them. We have carpeting, so it doesn't do any damage.

I don't want to over-promise one way or the other, but I have used mine on carpet probably 95% of the time and there has been no damage to the carpet. It will leave markings the same way any piece of furniture would, but those easily go away with the pass of a vacuum

I used mine on plush carpet for months and haven't damaged it. I moved it and it does leave some impressions that gradually come out with vacuuming.

We have the nail-in magic sliders on 8 heavy solid wood chairs -- our floors are very uneven - 3 x 6 inch terrazo bricks with very deep and wide grouting in between. Our chairs are pulled in and out from the table several times a day and I think in 5 or 6 years of use, maybe one slider has fallen off. The chairs are almost silent, and there are no marks on the floor. I would suggest getting the largest diameter glides that will fit the base of your chair legs, to even out the floor roughness.

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?

The wheels are plastic. I have area rugs over my hardwood floor with the exception of my foyer and bedrooms. I have not noticed any scratching.

I have used mine for several months and I have not seen any wear loss. I am satisfied with mine. I must caution you though, on certain floor types it will not stand. Flat floors not carpeted are the best. Great when in stores and you need both hands free.

Okay. They do leave marks in your carpet if they set for awhile, but no severe damage.

I called them when delivered months ago ,explaining it was meant to lay atop a low, tight, burnt sienna pile. They said no problem and there hasn't been. You might call the manufacturer to insure your carpet is OK. Take care.

I saw those issues posted too. I got mine anyway and did not have that problem. I love mine. Love! The legs have very shallow holes though. And anytime I move any piece, I move it with care. (someone lifting on both ends). Just in case I also put 3m soft stickers on the bottom of the legs as it is on hard wood floors and now if they get slid a bit one way or another I dont worry about having as much pressure on the legs.

The rear, primary wheels are plastic hubs with a rubbery tread. There is a front set of wheels that set the height of the beater, and they are plastic. If marking is a concern, we have not noticed any marking or scratching on wood or vinyl floors. If durability is a concern, the rear wheels seem quite sturdy. On a previous Hoover Wind Tunnel vac, we broke the front wheel assembly and I easily and cheaply replaced it. On this vac, it looks more sturdy, so maybe there was a design improvement.

The feet on the dead unit are as you described. The rubber inserts are on the front legs. There appears to be a place for them in the back feet. Maybe it was a cost reduction.I suggest that you put felt pads on the back and then check that the unit is level. I have quartz counter tops and do not want it scratched.As an aside, I got the unit apart and while the wiring was not burned and the electrical area was clean, the temperature control seemed to have burned up. The part may be replaceable only if you have a quart of blood and transfusion kit; unfinished edges are yet another cost reduction. Be very careful when picking the unit up.Now to get some stiches in the back of my hands and fingers-OUCH! . The feet on the dead unit are as you described. The rubber inserts are on the front legs.

I've never had a problem with them on carpet. The only surfaces that have given me a problem are waxed floors, tile and concrete.
