Excellent, just what i needed. Thank you

[@eCitizen1]

Thanks for the great tip! I really appreciate it.

[@hol4inia]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@philnguyen5038]

Great video. straight to the point

[@katylowe3504]

So useful. Thinking of some thinner material, like a tough poly board from Grainger, to leave permanently under my washer & dryer (the countertop leaves almost no clearance to the top of the appliances). Thank you for this great video.

[@paulcadman3562]

Very good 👍

[@chrisredfield8548]

I didn't hear that part clearly, what did you say what kind of board that was, or what material that board was again? Thank you.

[@brianperry310]

Hi. Thanks for the great advice. How thick is the board that you're using in the video and is the material Melamine or Lauan?

[@aarondavis1096]

Brian Perry did you find out what the thikness was?

[@outsidethepyramid]

nobody has given this the thumbs down, so tempting.

[@ElloGunva]

lmao

[@beverlysherrin1856]

Great Thanks! Ron, where did you get your floors? I bought a house with those exact floors and I do not know what they are or where to buy more>

[@timwhisnant1775]

Looks like Brazilian Cherry. Many companies offer engineered versions: real wood top layer with a soft wood base, using an interlocking edge.

[@DSilvergun]

Any links as to where I could buy the melamine sheets?

[@jadeedaye699]

Melamine board ... sold at Lowe’s for. $32 a board/sheet

[@pokr122]

Great video. I just moved into a house where the flipper slid the refrigerator over the floor and there are two parallel lines across the entire room. Any advice on how to clean/fix/repair? Ty.

[@ronaldcall]

Call a flooring contractor, I hope you got a discount on your home from the flipper.

[@brianclark5211]

Will this work on carpet?

[@phildavidson9463]

How do you turn? The video showed square panels being used to pull a refrigerator in a straight line.

[@ronaldcall]

Very carefully, spin the appliance on the first board then roll to the next.

[@Jeff-vp8bn]

How thick should the melamine boards be, only thing I see at lowes is 3/4" which is very thick? It looks like its only a 1/4" thick. Is that melamine or lauan plywood in the video?

[@keenanmidgley608]

1/8th thick, so the appliance can get up and down easily

[@joesantos7196]

Can I leave the boards under the refrigerator?

[@ronaldcall]

Sure, but why?

[@EsmesValets]

This is genius. Why don’t appliance delivery guys use this method? Would’ve saved my floors…

[@stewiepoohie2979]

Would this work for vinyl flooring??

[@ronaldcall]

yes

[@Shankfloortools-standuptrowel]

you can use AIR_EZ to move appliances across any floor and slide it in tight places and let the air out and slide it out check it out at shankfloortools.com

[@ronaldcall]

That's a great tool for pro's this video was designed to help folks who only need to move something once....

[@vvnsu6696]

Why don't you use blanket ? much easier !

[@ronaldcall]

Blanket will prevent scratches, but it won't prevent the wheels from a heavy refrigerator from compressing the wood and forming permanent grooves in the wood.
