Are there parts on the vacuum cleaner that would scratch the wood floors?

This vacuum is ideal for hardwood floors. No brushes or moving parts touch the floor - just a soft rubber line that moves the dirt towards the suction. I have wide plank exotic Kempa wood floors and ceramic tiles - works great on both.

No. Wish I could upload a picture of bottom of the sweeper. The only parts that touches the floor are the wheels and an upraised, very flexible, thin soft band of rubber.

Not that I have seen. I've been using this vacuum for a few months now, even my seven year old daughter vacuums with it and I haven't seen any scratches. My husband is super anal about our hardwood floors and if there was even a chance that it would scratch the floor he wouldn't allow it to be used. This is a great vacuum, I highly recommend it, especially if you have pets great on hair!

no, but with continued use maybe. the small whees at the bottom start to shred over time (circa 3-6 months depending on your use pattern), and can get small particles stuck in them which can then scratch the floor. just be careful, keep them clean, consider replacing early.

actually if you dont keep the small wheels clean and they stop rolling it will scuff the floor. as long as you keep the small wheels free of debris you will be fine

I have never had any problems with mine doing that. In fact I have not had any problems with mine at all.

No it doesn't have brushes on bottom. There are rubber strips that funnel stuff to the middle

No there are not. My floors look just as good as when I moved in, brand new!

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

Not that I can tell. I use this vacuum cleaner on our hardwood floors weekly, and unless I am being blind, I don't think there are any scratches. Mind you, we have a big dog, and he is brutal on the floors, so maybe it is hard for me to tell. I still love this vacuum. It is of course not the most powerful one you will find, but for what I am asking it to do, it is great. It is lightweight, has no cord to hassle with, and is reasonably quiet. Two thumbs up from me!

No marks on wooden floors. Not sure what kind of marks would be left on carpet. Depends on the nap of the carpet, then it's just a matter of running the vacuum over it to bring it back up. I use it mainly for shopping and long walks/rides. So it isn't an issue for me

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 laminate wood flooring, not hardwood floors. I usually sweep and mop that floor, but I got my vacuum out to answer your questions and went over the laminate floor with it. There is no scratching at all whatsoever and it does pick up dirt and stuff just fine. I've even picked up a few pebbles or a small screw, etc. with no ill effects. Great vacuum! The rotating brush on the floor doesn't bother me or seem to make a lot of noise. Just the same sound from the carpet to the laminate flooring with a little more hollow sound on the hard floor.

Mine has little plastic ends on the bottom of the legs. I have hardwood floors and they do not scratch.

oops, I 'lied' about floor attachment being included...I use one from my old vacuum and it works fine

No, but I just put some felt pads on it because we have wood floors - does not slide and doesn't scratch floor. Really good product otherwise.

Not that I know of. Beware that this vacuum was great at first but something broke fairly quickly and it became LOUD to run and I could no longer adjust the height (for carpet vs. hard flooring). I would not buy another or recommend it.

I have not noticed any damage so far. Due to the rubber cover, it actually prevents the scratching of wooden floors, and it does not affect carpets. Now, that depends on how much you use the Ab Carver. In time, you may see traces on wood surfaces, but only if you use everytime the same segmentnof the floor. I hope my answer was relevant.

yes it will damage floors unless they are somehow scratch resistant, or carpeted

I have nit had a problem with wood floors. If you raise the level to the highest setting the brushes do not touch the wood floor, and there is plenty of suction to do the job.

I have hardwood floors and the standard attachment works fine (no scratching), and there is a brushed attachment that you may prefer. However, downsides of this product as the "bag" is too small, if you have mostly hardwood floors it should work fine, but I have a wool rug that fills it up completely. Also suction is OK, works fine for most things, but for the price this is a pretty good product.

It does have wheels and did not scratch my daughter's hardwood floors, but unfortunately, it fell apart a month after he had it. The vacuum tube doesn't stay in the vacuum. It's too bad it's so poorly made, my grandson loved it!.

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?
