Does anyone have this installed on a wood floor? Any vibration or "walking" issues? If so, how did you fix them?

I have these units installed on terrazzo decking on a Navy barge. I restrain the "pair" by strapping them to the wall. I did once have a real bad vibrationi issue when my installer neglected to remove the vibration dampening spring restraints at the base of the unit. These are installed by the manufacturer to keep the washer drum "quiet" during transportation, but must be removed upon installation.

We do not have that issue. I have them on hardwood floors and tile flooring and they slide very nicely. I do have the "beads of rubber " on the inside , could that be your problem?

I do not have any wood floors.But I looked at the underside of the unit. It has the two large wheels in the rear, which have what appears to be a soft rubber replaceable tread (like a thin tire tread) on the outer part of the wheel. Those wheels should be fine. The front part of the unit slides on a thin plastic type strip which also appears to be replaceable. I would guess that as long as you do not have any gravel or small hard items that the plastic strip would push along in front of it, you would probably be OK.

I've bought two if these chairs and have never had a problem with a wheel falling off. Are you sure you installed them correctly, pushing them firmly into place so that you hear a "click"?

Hi! We have wooden floors but we used it a bit on carpet, it was easy to use. Its a great walker and the tray is very helpful.

None here. We have these on benches which get moved frequently though. They haven't damaged our floor at all.

I have not noticed any particular vibration problem. I have it in my bedroom with a flat screen sitting on top of it.

Hello Jessica, you pose a good question, which I can only answer in part as I don't know the type of construction of the floor structure. However, of all the mats that I looked at, this one does provide the best noise and vibration reduction. As a construction engineer, I can say that two elements come into play for noise and vibration reduction, and that is mass and density. Of all that I've seen this product is one of the best and personally I am fond of it. We have oak flooring and it does not seem to have any deleterious effects on the wood. Good Luck!

The noise/vibration will probably be dependent on how stable the floor is. Mine is in the basement, and I have no noise or vibration. If the floor is not very stable you will probably experience some noise but not much vibration since this is a very heavy piece of equipment.

They slip on wood a bit but, I sort of started walking to make up for it. I only have wood flooring in a few rooms of my house so it doesn't really bother me.

My kitchen/bathroom recently recv'd a tile update & it has worked just fine in the bathroom. It literally glides with my feet if I move it. My sister and I have even used it on the hardwood floor with ease as well--it's not a super grip with the rubber feet that would limit mobility. Hope this helps. :)

There isn't a whole lot of vibration at all. Make sure your surface is steady. I was on a fold out table first and it did vibrate. When I moved it to my wooden table it wasn't noticeable at all. Hope that helps.

I think they're mostly for vibrations between solid (metal/wood) objects, but they're not perfect. If the feet of your bed are making noise against, say, a wood floor, they might help with that, but so would less expensive rubber, or carpet, feet. If your mattress and/or bed springs don't damp vibrations you "feel" otherwise, I don't know that these would help.I used them under a washer on a wood floor, but also had foam between the washer and the wall and dryer - and there was still some vibration. The feet helped, but didn't eliminate vibration. (I no longer live where I was using them.) I think they're mostly for vibrations between solid (metal/wood) objects, but they're not perfect.

All I can comment is on my experience I have them under my recliner and it hadn't moved at all! And it's hardwood floors.

We actually have 4 of these chairs on an exotic Brazilian wood floor with no issues. The bottoms have a rubber ring around it that they rest on. I would recommend if you buy them to periodically lift them up and see if the rubber is coming off like I do just to insure your floor. We've not had any issues with the rubber coming off so far. If you are anything like I am I'd rather toss a $50 chair then ruin a several thousand dollar floor. Hope this helps you.

I bought a floor model & having the same problem. So far no luck locating a DVD. If I get luky and likewise, hopefully we can share the info. Thanks, Debbie

I do not recommend this item on wood floors. I have carpet, and I still have to have this lean a little bit against a wall due to the poorly designed/made 3rd leg.
