If used indoor, can it be done without carpet? Or better to be on carpet?

It will scratch any non-carpeted flooring. I have wood floors through out my house. It was only after I ordered, received, opened it & watched the instructional DVD that I learned it was not to be used on wood & other finished flooring because it will scratch it. My son promptly demonstrated that for me. Now I have a circular pattern of scratches from his "trick" he showed me. I would not have purchased this if I had known it would scuff the flooring. My kids did use it outside, too, & it made the bottom of it even more roughed up. If you have carpet & smaller kids I'd say yes, it might be worth the price. Definitely NEED carpet!!!

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

Absolutely! We mainly use ours indoors. It works great on hardwood floors as well as carpet.

No, we put ours in a carpeted room and have had no problems. My little grandson loves it!

yes you can. the problem is that without a vacuum no matter you do, you will not be able to get all the air out.

Yes, we did for a few months in a large, carpeted room until the weather became nicer, then we moved it outside. I think the chances of getting hurt on this would be the same on grass or carpet. Enjoy:) We still love ours!

If you want to use it indoors you will need a space big enough for it to rotate all the way around without hitting anything. Also, I move mine around the yard periodically because the wheel under each seat starts to wear a circular pattern in the grass. I would imagine it would wear a similar pattern in carpet. If you have a cement floor it probably isn't a concern. Hope that helps.

yes, I have my two on carpet and no ill effect. Get the upgraded Dimplex though...it's much nicer/better

Instructions are specific on not using it on carpeted floors, but it's OK if you add a layer of insulation, like cardboard. The fact that the instructions OK the use of cardboard makes it seem like the issue is constant heat discoloring the carpet or wood, given that cardboard has a lower ignition point than wool or nylon. By the way, the box it comes in makes a perfect insulator, with a little trimming.

I used this at home and at work. The carpeted area at work is indoor/outdoor carpet, which worked really well. It may depend on the type of carpet you have.

Both. In fact, I use it mostly in my tv room which is carpeted, since I am a "beginner." It works well for me there, as I do not need to hold to anything as much compared to the bare floor kitchen area. I would still stay near something to grab onto in either case though.

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

The manufacturer does not recommend itʻs use on carpeted floors. However I use it on a carpeted floor with a cardboard barrier and it does not seem to have caused any problems. I use it just for a few hours at a time, from 1 to 4 hours is average.

I would say yes. The unit is very nice inside and out. Carpet doesn't appear to be a problem.

Depends If its on carpet or bare flooring. Carpet I would say no but bare flooring probably.

I believe it would work just fine on carpet as long as your indoor room is large enough.

I put it on the inside of the door, but there's no carpet on the floor. It depends on which way the door opens, though. If I were you, I'd probably put it on the outside (concrete floor, hidden).

Yes, if done in a smart fashion, and depending on the fuel being used. Don't light this stove on carpet. If you're using gasoline then for sure don't use indoor. If using alcohol and on a hard non-flammable surface, I don't see a reason why not. Just use common sense, and remember that the stove gets hot, real hot.
