Will this scratch wood floors? I want to buy this for Grandma's house, but her floors are beautiful hardwood!

I bought this for my grand niece for Christmas so haven't used it yet. It appears to be a soft plastic bristle and I don't believe it would scratch the floor.

No, the bristles are soft and won't scratch the floor. I also have hardwood floors.

I don't think it will scratch wood floors. The bristles are soft enough and the plastic is hard enough to be useful but will bend.

I haven't noticed any problems with scratching/damaging my hardwood or tile flooring, but I don't find this vacuum (or other model any I've tried) to be amazing on these surfaces. I still prefer sweeping and using a Shark steamer mop for hard surfaces.

I use it on my entire downstairs which is completely wood flooring. It has great suction, the wheels (some kind of rubber I think) are not scratching the floors and the brushes don't touch the wood. I love it on wood flooring and I run it right from wood flooring to the area rug under my sofa area. It works wonderfully!

It is possible to scratch hardwood floors. I suggest you put children's rubber play mats down to get the most fun out of this toy indoors if you don't have carpet. You can find them right here at Amazon for a great price.

I believe it would still scratch the hardwood floor. The wheels screw into a metal base inside the bars. However, you may be able to file down or have covered.

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!

Oh, NO, please don't. I wish I had asked others like you do now before I purchased and used them on my wood floor. I have scratches on my floor now. The contact side is hard plastic. So if there is any tiny debris or particles, it leaves scratches. Even it is absolutely clean, the contact is not smooth for moving and causes damage easily. Noop...

You would need to use this vacuum on the low setting. I haven't noticed any new scratches on my wooden laminate floor.

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.

Hi Ben, Which Dyson do you have? Do all dysons scratch the hardwood floors? We have the asthma allergy one and it did scratch our brand new floors. We are looking for a Dyson that will not scratch the floor- does anyone have suggestions?Tara

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

We have laminate wood floor and it doesn't scratch it at all. I'm not sure how it would do on real hardwood.

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.

I have been using it on my newly refinished hardwood floors without any issues. Does not seem to scratch them and it picks up well. However I have found it somewhat hard to move over my new plusher carpet even on the lowest suction level.

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 have hardwood floors as well, with scatter rugs. It works wonderfully on wood and tile, and Ive seen no evidence at all of scratching. Hope this helps!

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!
