Mine keeps moving around on my hardwood floor, any suggestions how to keep it from moving?

I assume you have the clear side down towards the floor.You can purchase some double sided tape (3M is a good brand) at the hardware store and it should work fine and not ruin the hardwood surface.You probably only need a half dozen one inch strips to do the job.Buy the thinnest thickness and try that first.

I am not exactly sure as mine doesn't move at all. I also bought one for my husband and his stays in place and doesn't move. Do you have the right side down?

I think it does move around. I still own it but it's starting to split. However, you may use the tip people use with mixers bowls. Try seeing if laying down a slightly damp dish towel under the board and see if this stops it from sliding while you are working.

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

Try tucking it in a corner, if that doesn't work, use those 3m velcro strips to secure the base. I lodged the cord under a hutch foot, so it didn't move.

I have not had the problem, but it sounds like maybe the belt is either broken or worn out. Have you considered this possibility? Also there are two speeds, one for hardwood (no spinning brush) and one for carpet (spinning brush). These are my best possibilities. You could call Hoover Customer Service and they can troubleshoot with you.

Works best on smooth floors, i.e. hardwood, tile, etc. I've tried it on carpet and it doesn't move well.

The only remedy that i personally have found to avoid movement is to check to see if the screws have loosened up and retighten. Also you can apply Blu loctite. Hope that helps.

My cat just stands entirely on top of it, or braces his back legs against it so it doesn't slide. You could probably try putting something heavy inside or one of those non-slip mats for rugs underneath it!

I have one of these and it rolls freely across the floor while sitting in it. As long as your hardwood floor is level- this hair should roll just fine. You may have a defective wheel or something?

Just did my hardwood floors. Works but noisy since the spinning brush needs to contact the floor.

I use this on my hardwood floors in my living room...I just put a square of drawer liner under it. As others have written, i wouldn't drag or slide it across.

I don't have that problem but mine does get stuck going back and forth in one spot.

It will not! This mat has been fantastic! It's been sitting on my hardwoods for a few months and I have had 0 issues. Highly recommended.

Try some double sided tape, it worked on our hardwood floor. Also, might look for some of that rubber cabinet liner stuff too.

I would try the rubber backing you buy to put under rugs. Try gluing pieces of this on to the ramp where it meets the floor. Put it on the underneath part to make sure it doesn't stop the ramp from sliding in and out when you want it to adjust. Small container of Gorilla glue and a small size of rubber backing should work.

I have had mine for about a year. It started doing this periodically about 4 months after I got it. It does not do it much any more but still does occasionally. When I notice it doing this, I try to change its direction of movement and it will go back down to the bottom

I had the same problem with mine, I actually ended up drilling a few holes all the way through and using a pin to keep it from sliding. Hope it helps
