I have a treadmill that is on carpet and it makes a rubbing noise and is a little wobbly. Would this work? If so, Which one?

I recommend the one that I purchased, which is slightly thicker. I'm assuming that it's slightly heavier and will not move on the carpet. Most treadmill manufactures do recommend a treadmill mat. I am very happy with this purchase, and have been using it for 3 months now without any issues.

While I can't answer your question definitively, I can say that mine is on a low nap textured carpet and I'm glad I bought the mat. I don't think that it would be as solid without it.

The thicker one is great under my very heavy treadmill and although it's on low pile carpet, I think that it cuts down on wobble.

This pad is pretty thick and works great for me, but my floors are hardwood. I ordered the biggest mat because my treadmill is commercial size. I know I couldn't help with the carpet part but I hope this helps a little.

Perhaps the slope is too steep. I put a one-inch thick book under each of the lower legs to lessen the slope. Also be sure to grab hold of the handlebars as you step on. Finally, if the problem is the treadmill rubber mat moving too quickly, perhaps you've put too much oil underneath it and you need to wipe some of it off. Hope these ideas help.

I use it on carpet. From reviews I read before I purchased the treadmill, the carpet probably keeps it from moving during use. I also read it is fine on carpet as long as it isn't a deep pile, my carpet is not real thick. It works fine. Still easy to fold up and roll over to the corner when not in use.

Be aware it's a heavy treadmill like most high quality running units, so even though it has wheels unless your on concrete or wood floor they sink into the carpet. It's almost easier to pull the treadmill where you need it to go vs. trying to push through a door since view will be obstructed. Not something i would want to move around on a daily basis.

We have ours on the second floor of our house you can hear it running when your downstairs but it's not too bad it's quieter than the other treadmill that we have. We did put a very thick mat under it the ones that get-together sort of like a puzzle

Hi Gary, I had a spare piece of 2x4 (about 22 inches long) so decided to test this. Initially, I heard some squeaking, but I adjusted the placement of the 2x4 more towards the front of the machine and that stopped. I noticed a very slight wobble side to side but it seems stable enough. I do just walk at the moment, so I'm not sure if the wobble would become more pronounced if you jog / run/ Even with just a 2x4, the incline is noticeable when compared to yesterday's 'workout. I'm loving the incline - thanks for the idea!

Off the top, I would say "Why not"? However, to be absolutely sure I suggest you contact either the seller or the manufacturer. I use it periodically when my treadmill begins to squeak. Completely silences it.

Unfortunately I do not know a lot about the different treadmills, I googled magnetic key for whatever name and model my treadmill was and it brought me to the Amazon site... I wish I could be more helpful !

We are using under an elliptical machine on top of carpet. It's quiet but I don't know how it compares to a treadmill

I was wondering the same thing so did some searching on Amazon and found the Confidence Power Plus Motorized Electric Treadmill, which is very reasonably priced as well as gotten good reviews. One of the first reviews talks about it being perfect for a treadmill desk!

I don' know twhy the reader is asking again, when the answer to the question has been provided, that the treadmill will damage flooring. The mat is cheap in comparison to having new flooring installed.

To use it as intended it takes a good degree of balance. I would probably go with a regular treadmill. The workout is excellent if they are very balanced.

Honestly, probably not. My main noise from treadmill is just from the movement of the belt, but the sound isn't a real issue with me. I turn on the TV and really don't hear any bad noises. Take care

I don't know for sure, as I said, I use it to slide a pretty heavy treadmill on carpet. However, the spongy grips would hold a piano's legs well, I think. In my opinion, it would be worth trying, but be careful that you are sliding it slowly and check and make sure the legs are staying on the pads.

That's the brand of treadmill I have and I used it. It seems to have worked just fine.

if you have been lubricating it, it shouldnt make the sound. You can lubricate it even now. While doing so, you can celar the squeaking sound by adjusting the treadmill speed using the screws provided. It should be available near the leg of your tread mill at the very end. Have you ever tried that?
