Hi Fred,Thank you for your inquiry. The nylon discs on the bottom of this can make it easier to move the can around. The discs have a smooth surface with round edges to reduce the friction with the floor. Please keep in mind that depending on the type of flooring, marks are possible if the can is pushed across the surface with heavy trash still inside of it.

There are gentle slider discs that protect floors and make the trash can easy to move. I am sorry I do not have a picture. Hope this helps!

My plastic end don't scratch the floor, as least not that I've noticed but these just help them slide easier and quieter.

At first yes, but after about a year they started to slide. ( I also followed the cleaning instructions). I have my mats on a hard wood floor in my kitchen

That is why I got it. I have hardwood floors and the light microfiber "mops", "swishers" and other ones that have a liquid pump required a lot of effort and rubbing to get the smallest spots of dried dirt up. The Pullman had bristles if you are doing soap/water on a ceramic floor...no issues of scratching. If you do a hard wood floor, you place microfiber pads or clothe over the bristles to keep from scratching.

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

They are plastic, but two separate pieces which makes them move easier. I got a second opinion in my household (we do not have wood floors)the opinion is, it will not scratch your floors.

The Magic Sliders LP 08221 8-Pack 7/8-Inch Round Sliding Discs are good for linoleum floor. Not sure if they would work out for wood floor (some reviewers say they scratch the floor). My magic sliders are on the kitchen chairs for about year now and they are only showing a little wear. It would be a good idea to clean the sliders every 3-6 months to keep them in good sliding shape. The 3 piece sliders have the advantage of snapping in a new slider. Where on these 08221 you will have to pry the nail out of the chair leg to replace the slider.

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 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

We replaced all the castors with some really nice nylon ones that don't scratch our wood floor. They are also have a lot smoother operation. We purchased them from Rockler Woodworking (Rockler.com). You just have to make sure of the size and type of the posts that go into the chair. Don't remember how much they were, but not much.

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.

Mine has a plastic plate. No problems scratching wood on any floors I have installed.

I haven't encountered any problems with the pads, the orange part is slightly soft. However I've only done one job with new hardwoods, every other time I've been on old scuffed floors. Obviously watch out for stuff like drywall mud or mortar which will make your pads more prone to scratch, I know I've had to clean up mine.

Sorry, mine are on a Duraceramic floor. They don't scratch it and I wouldn't think they would scratch wood but I can't say with 100% certainty that they wouldn't.

I also have hardwood floors, and it hasn't scratched them from what I can tell (my dog mainly plays on the carpet with it). It is designed to roll and doesn't have much of an area that would scratch floors.

We do not have that issue. I have them on hardwood floors and tile flooring and they slide very nicely. I do have the "beads of rubber " on the inside , could that be your problem?

I have laminated wood flooring and have not had a problem. No damage as of yet.
