How easily does this scale slide on tile or linolium? Some scales with rubber feet have to be picked up to move because they will not slide.

Good question. I just tried sliding it on my linoleum floor and it slid with no problem whatsoever.

I had it sitting in front of my dryer and was able to move the scale with my foot in order to get items out of my dryer. I have linoleum. I do not know if this would change on tile.

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. :)

Yes, it changed depending on where it was setting, it changed even when I never moved it. The company said it was because I had it setting on a linoleum floor, which was the hardest floor in my house. I'm not sure I buy that explanation. I sent it back to Amazon. Do not buy this scale!

It does slip on tile, my girls start there tumbling off the mat then do the hard tricks on it which sometimes causes the mat to move. However it has not lost its thickness throughout the year of using it.

I have ceramic tile on my kitchen floor and the casters slide very easily. Two casters have a lock and two do not. There is carpet in my den adjoining the kitchen and I have no problem with the coasters on the carpet.

In wood or tile it slides if upright. On carpet it slides with a little more resistance. Stairs? That would be tricky and would require 2 people.

It has four little rubber feet so as long as they all touch it should work fine. I wanted a scale that would work on carpet and this one has no moving parts for about one inch off the floor so it does just fine on carpet. If the floor is especially rough as in, say, rustic tile, then I'd use a pad or flat board under it to make sure all the feet touch. The scale base is pretty ridgid but somewhere up around 250/300 pounds you might be able to get it to flex a little. Good choice for odd circumstances tho----

No it doesn't. I have mostly tile floors, but I have one big rug in my living room and the walker won't budge when it is on it. It isn't a fluffy rug either, it's actually very thin.

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?

As long as the tile is smooth, this device will stick. I've had it up for over 6 months and it hasn't moved an inch!!

Sure, mine is on a carpet. There aren't rollers so it more or less has to be lifted to some extent to move it on any surface although I suppose you could force a slide around on a hard floor but I would imagine it would scuff the floor material.

Not really. When the brush is engaged, it kind of moves it along, but it's wheels are not propelled. I do find it quite easy to move around on tile and wood floors, and forward on carpet. It's a little handful when drawing it back...

It makes some sound. I added lithium grease to all moving parts when I put it together to help prevent any noise; But it still makes some noise like a creak creak creak as I pedal; But it's quiet. It's very easy to move around; About 35 to 40 pounds I am guessing; You could slide it really easy on carpet because of the hard plastic feet; You'd want to lift it if you had wood and/or tile floors.

As I wrote in my review of this product: YES, the plastic base will slide around on carpets, wooden or tile floors, which in turn will reduce the rocking fun. However, there is a solution to that: at any Walmart or K-Mart you can buy play mats for kids, wich are made of slip resistant foam; if you put the rockin' rider on such a mat there is no more sliding around and the fun can begin!! Hope this was helpful to you. Best regards, Andy.

These tiles are light and pretty easy to place or pull apart. You can try without putting anything underneath. If they slide, you can always pick them up and put underlayment down to keep them from sliding. Best thing to do is to border against wall/heavy furniture as suggested by Angie. Another thing is, don't drive your car on it. It's not meant for that kind of pressure/weight.

I had this problem with other scales, come to find out it was due to soft or uneven flooring, like wood or linoleum. I had to go to a room that had hard (ceramic or marble) flooring, in my case our foyer. Once I did that it was accurate. Even small tiles will cause inconsistencies as you place your scale. I have even used our garage concrete just to make sure the #'s were right.

It's my understanding that if you move the scale you need to recalibrate it. That, if I remember, involved stepping on it and then stepping off. It think as with any device or instrument of this kind the less it gets moved the better.

Hi Angela, The Tanita has been one of the most accurate scales I've ever owned. However, just like other scales I've had it doesn't like to be moved. The accuracy, although only off by a half pound or less, takes a day or two before it gets steady again. Haven't figured out why... just does so, I try not to move it.
