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!!!

It doesn't have a very soft floor end, and the wheels are plastic, but it also isn't very heavy. We didn't have any problem with scratched floors, but our wood floors had a pretty scratch-resistant finish. It could cause slight scratches on softer finishes.

I haven't had a problem with it scratching my wood floor. It just doesn't pick up much.

Maybe I didn't do a good enough job cleaning out the brush after every use, but even though I didn't run the brush on the hardwood floor, I got a light but very long scratch on my hardwood floor. That was the end of me using this vacuum on the hardwood floor.

I wouldn't think so. We have Pergo floors so they are much harder to scratch than real hardwood and haven't had any issues, but I think that's because the wheels are a softer rubber, like a roller skate wheel. We only let our daughter ride it inside though, if she rode it outside she might get tiny pieces of asphalt stuck in the soft rubber of the wheels and then those could scratch the floors.

I have commented before on the hard floor attachment. I'm not quite clear what the question is. I don't have wood floors. I have some tile and some carpet. I like the attachment for the tile but I don't know if it would scratch wood. My only complaint about it as I have said before, is that it doesn't stay attached to the vacuum tube on my DC 07 if I catch it on a table or chair leg.

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

Yes, it does, but I find this attachment can scratch hardwood. Also, unless you have a rather industrial need, go food the smaller vac. It is just as good but easier to handle.

The bottom is a curved plastic. I use it on a carpet surface. The only way it would scratch your hard wood is if some debris is stuck to the base. If you keep a clean floor it shouldn't be a problem.

My floor is oak and it never has scatched. If you walk on it I don't see how this could hurt it. But to be on the SAFE side I would check with someone who does flooring. Its a great little machine and very light. Hope it works for you.

No, it does not scratch the wooden floors. It does a beautiful job cleaning them, and is so quiet.

I have dark and glossy wooden flooring (Santos Mahogany) in my house. I regularly use Roomba to vacuum them, and I do not get any scratches on my floor.

I have one and yes it scratches my hardwood floors. Keen for aFix on the front wheel e.g soft rubber. There are a few online forums about this issue

I have hardwood floors and haven't noticed any scratches from the small rollers. They do recommend testing it out in a less visible area of the floor to be sure the rollers won't leave marks.

Yes, it can scratch. Its not an issue with the construction, its the finish - solid wood with that finish would likely scratch as well.

No, just go to your local store and buy the felt stuff you put on the bottom of furniture that prevents it from scratching the floor. Same thing.
