Has anyone here ever had laminate flooring installed over ceramic tile?

OP, let me summarize the pros and cons of your viable options presented to you by several pros.

First you could just lay your pad and laminate over the tile. It's quick, cheap, and easy. Laminate does not bridge over uneven surfaces well. The pad helps a bit, but dead space under the laminate will stress the locking mechanism and cause eventual failure. I see no reason why you couldnt break out high tiles and fill with patch to stop this. If the tile shows no signs of being loose (hollow sounding or cracking grout) which might indicate an easy tear out I would be comfortable doing this, but I would get rid of high corners.

Second, you could prime and pour self leveler. This gives you an even surface and there is no demolition or dust. It is a multiday process, is costly, and must be skillfully executed.

Third you can take up the tile. This gets you back to the slab, does not add height to the floor, and gives you more options later if you tire of laminate. There is no way to know if it'll take 5 hours or 25 hours to take up. It will be dusty. If you hire it out tile costs as much to take up as it does to install.

In my professional opinion option 1 is your easy way out and option 3 is your "best practice" method. Option 2 is neither.

I would tend to agree with this guy. You need to know how well it is adhered to the concrete floor. Make sure you cover everything as the dust will get into everything that is not covered. As far as multi day on the second option. I could more than likely do it in one day but, someone with no experience it could take a week !
