The carpet will keep it in one place but the vibration will wear a whole in the carpet where the washers feet set pretty quick. I would put something under it that was bigger then these pads

We've never had a washer on carpet, and have never had a front loader walk....just vibrate. These have somewhat sticky front feet so I'm not sure how they would function on carpet. I'd be afraid they'd get full of fibers and become slippery over time.

Silent Feet will work on carpeted floors. We recommend not installing them on deep pile or very thick carpets as you may see increased vibration or side to side shaking.

I have a LG front load washer with direct drive that spins very fast. My washer would move almost every time laundry was done because it sits on a concrete floor. I thought these feet were very expensive and probably a waste of money. After almost a year of having these pads on my washer I have had to move my washer back 0 times. Yes, I can not believe how good they work. If I would have known how good these are before I bought them I would have paid 10 times what they cost. Yes, my washer does still "Jiggle around some" but it does not move at all. I do not know if carpet would help but I do know that these little pads work great with a washer on concrete.

I would run screws through the carpet and into the flooring. I installed it on a tiled floor and screwed it down, as it was slipping slightly. It may not slip on carpet without the screws, but I feel safer for the user with it screwed down.

I have a big area rug and it does move on it. What you should know is that it moves forward/backward mostly and very hard to move it right to left; I think this is for the baby's safety.

did a little research on frieze carpet and it seems to be non loop..meaning strings i guess...overall i think that it is more tough to push without the beater bar on...just like a regular vacuum that is not self propelled... more muscle strength is need but it is doable...dont know if that is your whole house or not... more strength to push forward overall

If you have a level floor this thing isn't shaking. I have mine on carpet and it doesn't move.

I use mine in our basement which is a concrete floor. I do, however, have throw rugs in front of the washer and dryer and have never had a problem pushing it on them.

Yes and no. depends on how well the carpet was installed. I have my unit on a carpet, first spot I put it on caused it to have a bad tilt and was a little wobbly if you bumped it but I have since moved it to a better spot and it fits snug with the wall and does move at all.

You can still open the door but it will drag on the carpet. It might be annoying.

Probably not. For a washing machine you need to adjust the legs on the bottom of the machine to make it level. That will help with the shaking and vibration.

I guess it's just a hollow pipe, but why would you want it to move? I have mine up against a wall so it doesn't slide when my dog steps on to it, now I don't have carpet I have tile floors. Hope this helps

Yes - the walker has stops on it - just remove them and it will glide well on carpets.

I don't know...my doctor told me to use it for carpets...couches...etc....keeps the dander down....I don't think in the washer would work...

These made a huge difference in the vibrations from my front load washer on a wood-frame floor. I don't know of anything that will eliminate vibrations, but I'm very pleased with the reduction this product provided. The machine will "sway" a bit more, but the pads will interrupt having the vibration transfer to the floor below.

Dear Sir or Madam;Thank you for your recent inquiry. The Robotic Flor Washer would not be suitable with a floor with grooves. The floors need to be sealed. As long as the pet hair is not excessive, the unit will work as advertised. Please let us know if you would like further assistance. Thank you and have a great day.Amy PrestonHammacher SchlemmerCustomer Service

No. Even tho this product is sturdy, I would not recommend putting a small vibrating washer on it.

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 have had no problems with the machine moving around. I use it on a carpeted floor for about 30-60 minutes at a time.
