is the unit ok to use on carpet?

YES, I run my unit on maximum 24/7 and it doesn't make anything wet. I live in a high-rise condo in the desert (Reno, NV) but it adds just enough moisture to the air to keep my breathing easier and not so dry as it was without this unit. Coverage is 300 square feet of space. I keep it in the main living area and not in the bedroom as the bedroom is being re-modeled now.

I have mine on a small table and it doesn't get it wet. It should be fine unless it is on thick carpet.

We have it in our bedroom and have not noticed any adverse change to the carpet. What I have noticed is a slight uptick in the dust that clings to vents. I am theorizing that the dust that used to just float around is now bonding with water molecules and becoming heavier and stickier. Great product, would buy again in a second.Andrew

I have mine on a folded towel on my dresser, and no problems, don't see any reason it couldn't be on the carpet.

I keep mine on our stone hearth floor. It doesn't leak, at all, in normal operation. But if somebody knocks into it, water can slosh over the edge of the base. And it's easy to drip water off the reservoir when you're replacing it, for instance if it got wet under the faucet. So I don't take chances on getting my hardwood floor wet.

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

It works ok on hardwood floors, I definitely would not use it on carpet. We bought one; I have not been all that impressed with it on either surface.

I have mine on carpet and have no problems. I use it to divide my office space so I move it everyday.

This is a very quiet unit. It can be used in a situation like yours. If you want, you can put/add a small carpet uder it or one of those rubber exercise mats.

I think it depends on the carpet. Normal carpet: no problem. I have carpet and it works fine. Shag or heavy carpet may be a problem.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.

Rita, Yes it is. It is just as good on carpet as any of the much larger machines that I have owned. There is a slight trade off with the self adjusting head in that it doesn't pick up large pieces (dropped peanuts for example) without some maneuvering to lift the head. I do not find this problematic as the unit more than makes up for it by being able to go directly to bare floor cleaning without any adjustments.

I think it would be fine on carpeted floor. The bottom of the unit doesn't heat up at all.

We don't use ours on carpet however we believe that with the weight of the treadmill there should not be any issues

The unit is plastic and unless you drag it with a bike engaged there should not be an issue. You could always put a small area carpet or even a bath towel under it.

Have had mine on carpet for over 10 years. Never had one problem.... All the internal electronics are near the top of the unit, so heat isn't a concern either.

Ours is on carpet and works great! We even have the long shag type carpet. No worries, great unit!

I don't think that would be a problem since the heating unit is inside the wood frame and does not touch the floor. Mine is partially on carpet. However, I never leave it on when I am not there. Just to be on the safe side. Hope that helps.

Yes. You are able to use it on carpeted floors. I have mine on carpeted floor in my living room.
