Someone said to place it on a carpet -- does it work well on a hardwood floor?

Given that I am very short & most chairs are made for taller people, this device has saved my life. Therefore, if it slips a little and occasionally makes noise while doing so, so be it. I bring it everywhere, so I've used it on wood, tile, concrete & carpets. Obviously, it won't slide on a carpet, but, oh well....

I bought my footrest to use on airplanes. I am 5' tall and my feet never touch the floor, which is very bad for one's lower back. I have never used my folding footrest on hardwood floors; but,my guess is that you could use it but may need to stick some rubber taps on the bottom. Linda Anderson 8-1-14.

No to both. Plan on returning for refund. (Didn't until now - was in hospital and then busy moving.) Very disappointed.

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

It can work on carpet but doesn't work quite as well as a regular upright does. It is great on hardwood and hard surfaces.

It is made for vinyl and leather so no, I would not use it on a carpet. It would just make it all hard and crunchy.

Yes, it works well on carpeted floors. It will add some slight resistance but nothing that will damage the carpet.

Yes, it works fine on hardwood floors. I had to be careful around smaller rugs that weren't secure as the vac wanted to inhale them.

It might possibly be more stable on plush carpet than on hardwood. Heavy coats if not hung & removed carefully will probably still cause it to topple though.

No, I have hardwood floors and I put a thick blanket between it and the floor. I would lay it directly on carpet though.

I used it on my carpets, not on my hardwood floors. It would probably be okay, but I think there are better machines out there for hardwood floors (like the Hoover Linx Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner that I purchased on Amazon.)

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

I'm not sure how it would do on a wooden floor, I actually have carpet, but it didn't leave any marks on my ceiling or the carpet for that matter, so I think it should be fine!

It's actually perfect for hardwood floors,not so much on carpet. I have a dog that sheds a lot & i use it all the time,it's doing a great job. Just make sure you clean it after each use.

Pretty well. Although it is very easy on my hardwood floor, I use it a lot on my carpet that is pretty plush and don't have a problem.

We only use it on hardwood floors and carpet. It works great on both, without the need to adjust when going from one surface to another.

I use mine on carpet since we have hardwood throughout and don't want to scratch the floor. Its an area rug but it works just fine. Hope this helps !!!

In my experience, it has worked well on both hardwood floors, as well as carpets. I have been very pleased with my purchase. I hope that helps.

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.
