No. I have Carpet, Wood, Laminate and Stone floors and my Dyson DC50 Animal works like magic on every one. I also have 3 dogs that leave hair all over the place! I absolutely Love this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, it does not scratch wood floors. It does a great job! And the suction gets the hard to reach corners.

We use it on our wood floors and have not had any sratches at all. The brush is designed to be used on hard floors. I would imagine if something abrasive got stuck on the brush or roller it could scratch the floor, but we have not had any tangles in ours yet and we've been using it for about half a year. Also it has a cear top over the brush so if anything was stuck in there you would see it. Plus there is a button to turn the brush off if you want to. Has been a great vacuum, we love it.

The brush is only for rugs. Instructions say to turn off the brush for hard surfaces. With the brush on, the vacuum will throw particles around on a hardwood floor. The vacuum itself rolls around easily so it shouldn't cause any problems.

It shouldn't. I would start on a rug or something because it always turns on with the brushes rotating. Once it is on, you can turn the brush off, and save the wood floors. I don't know how the ball and wheels would be on wood, though.

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

there's a chance it will scratch the wood floor. We let my niece to slide down on a rug.

Yep. I hate to add to the chorus, but it scratched my brazilian cherry hardwoods. Just like the above post - if a hard particle gets dragged, it scratches the floor - I sometimes don't notice until a few scratches are made. I'm not happy - I paid a lot of money for the vacuum AND the floors! Does Dyson have anything to say about this problem?

No, it is not made for use on hard wood floors, and it doesn't have special switches for different areas, at least not that I know of.

We have the table I doors and my 3 year old drags it around. We have never had issues with it scratching our hardwood floors.

It may depend upon the floor, but I doubt it would scratch. Purchased for my granddaughter and they have hardwood throughout their house.

we have a tile/wood floor . it has not scratched yet, the panels cone with small (self stick)foam pads that stick to the corners to avoid scratching

It didn't scratch ours, but we have actual hardwood, not a laminate product on our floors. Also, the toy pushes well on carpet, but not so much in the grass on the lawn.

I use it on my wood floors (bamboo) it doesn't scratch. It works as well as the same central vac wood floor brush I used before.

I am not sure if it would scratch wood floors, but I love the car. The steering wheel came off shortly after purchase, so be sure not to lift it by the steering wheel. I would think you would not use it much indoors. Great for outdoors and trips out!

I didn't have any trouble with this machine scratching up any type of floor. I used it on tile and laminate. My laminate is very scratch prone and had no issues!

The base is metal with a hard plastic encircling the base and separating the metal from the floor. It's hard plastic, not rubber like, so it might scratch a hard wood floor.

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.

Yes, the bottom was the part that was dsmaged(paint was coming off). It does work on hard wood floors, and will not scratch them or slide on them. Let us know if you have any other questions.

It does have wheels they are plastic. I do not believe that it will scratch the floors as long as it kept in a clean area.
