Is this safe on hardwood floors? We just had our hardwoods refinished and do not want something that is going to scratch up the floors. Thanks!

This was one of my main concerns as well, and I am happy to report that we have not had any damage to the finish, or wood itself. The wheels are made of smooth plastic (front) and rubber (back), and have not scratched our floors... Our floors are made of hard wood; hand scraped dark oak.

The back wheel are rubber so it will not do anything and front wheels are plastic but do not damage the floors. Our floors are wood and this thing is fantastic. Our daughter is six month old and goes everywhere. From all we bought so far that is the best

It's a hard plastic. It won't scratch a hardwood floor, but it may leave scuff marks. It doesn't really slide. But you could easily push it on a wood floor

I also have wood floors and have not seen any scratches from cleaning with it. I love mine.

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 have hardwood floors and have let my two year old ride this on them all over the house. No scratches. We have had no problems.We have the roller blade wheels which are soft, which I think they all come with anyway. Hope this helps

not our old hardwood floors. if you have newer, shiny hardwoods i guess it's possible, but no deep scratches unless the board would be dirty. it's safer in my opinion to use on a rug. we love it!!!

Assuming the vacuum works, and further assuming it isn't clogged because 3 minutes of usage will clog this horrible monstrosity, it should not scratch hardwood floors. It probably won't get them clean, but it shouldn't scratch. (Get something else -- you will hate this vacuum.)

I just took a look at the bottom. I don't see anything that would scratch hardwood floors. It has the two main wheels in the back and two small rollers under the vacuum head. Both of these are medium to firm rubber. Should be good to go.Jim

It does not scratch hardwood floors. I use it every other day to sweep up cat hair! I like it because it sucks up the hair and it does not blow it around like it does when you use a dust mop.

No - I use it on my wood floors and it does not scratch them..the plastic "wheels" seem to go over the floors just fine.

Plastic, and yes, it will scratch hardwood floors. You will need to get the horse hair brush attachment. It works incredible.

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.

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.

I have used it on my wood floors without any issue. My wood floors have a couple coats of polyurethane to protect the wood.

I use it on mine. There is a flap that drops down flush with the floor that may pose an issue but you can manually flap up if you're worried it may scratch. (this is the eraser part-- it's covered in felt and I haven't noticed scratching on my wood. Though to be fair my wood is pretty scratched from my 2 dogs and 3 kids. Lol)

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.

I use mine on carpet since we have hardwood throughout and don't want to scratch the floor. Its an area rug but it works just fine. Hope this helps !!!
