If used indoor, can it be done without carpet? Or better to be on carpet?

It will scratch any non-carpeted flooring. I have wood floors through out my house. It was only after I ordered, received, opened it & watched the instructional DVD that I learned it was not to be used on wood & other finished flooring because it will scratch it. My son promptly demonstrated that for me. Now I have a circular pattern of scratches from his "trick" he showed me. I would not have purchased this if I had known it would scuff the flooring. My kids did use it outside, too, & it made the bottom of it even more roughed up. If you have carpet & smaller kids I'd say yes, it might be worth the price. Definitely NEED carpet!!!

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

I suppose it would depend on your carpet, but I feel secure when I use it on carpet, and that is how I am most comfortable using it indoors. On hard floor, I try to put it where the floor meets a wall. It might be fine on a regular hard floor, but I can't afford to find out the hard way if it slips!

You could use it without wheels but it might scratch your floor. Maybe buy rubber feet from Home D.

The manufacturer does not recommend itʻs use on carpeted floors. However I use it on a carpeted floor with a cardboard barrier and it does not seem to have caused any problems. I use it just for a few hours at a time, from 1 to 4 hours is average.

Well I would say yes on small spots, if you have a large spot on your carpet you could use the floor machine. Hope this helps.

Yes, I guess that is its best usage.It is perfect for rig on carpet. Also, I recently took it off and nothing was damaged, which is a great benefit too.

Okay. If your place as carpet yes. But just wood or floor without carpet, then no! And even if you have carpet, it can not clean corners.. Not really recommend this to buy. Spend more money get buy better one.

Standard carpeting with standard padding, yes, because the base is so heavy. There is a very slight tilt that is not really noticeable, but it might be worse if you had thicker carpet and/or padding.

No, we have wooden floor and its quiet/stable enough not to need a mat, esp if you have carpet.

If you want to use it indoors you will need a space big enough for it to rotate all the way around without hitting anything. Also, I move mine around the yard periodically because the wheel under each seat starts to wear a circular pattern in the grass. I would imagine it would wear a similar pattern in carpet. If you have a cement floor it probably isn't a concern. Hope that helps.

It needs to be on an elevated surface, otherwise you will be sitting on the floor. The legs are only about 4 inches off the ground. Otherwise yes, you can put it on carpet. Hope that helps.

I have hard wood floors and no carpet so am unable to answer your question.

it can be set up on carpet. Its very light weight and easy to set up. But be warned, it doesn't handle to road life very well. Very fragile. But for the price I have no regrets :)

You could put it on a table. Since you want as much air flow as possible, I wouldn't put it on carpet.

Not at all. I have tile flooring so it doesn't move or leave marks if I was to take it down, I'm unsure about carpet

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

Indoor but if you have a covered patio and place it on something like children's soft tiles it could work - I have it on carpet inside - very durable and loads of fun!!!
