We have new hardwood floors and this looks like a great tool but the little wheels make me wonder if it will scratch the wood.

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

We're on our second Electrolux stick vac and have never had an issue with the wheels. Now, we have laminate, not hard wood, but I think you'd have nothing to worry about.

My floors are carpet, tile and vinyl but I doubt the wheels will scratch wood floors; they roll very smoothly. We bought one for our fifth wheel and liked it so much we bought a second one for home. It is a little difficult to run on a carpet but still does a nice job even with doggy hair. On the other flooring it is efficient, easy to use and very convenient; much more so than dragging out the heavy, large vacuum.

I doubt it. It runs / rides on clear rubber wheels ...like inline skates!Never left any marks on our wooden floors!!

Yes it will. It puts slight scratches in the hardwood floor as the wheels are a hard plastic so when they turn the wheels thats when it scratches and also when they get stuck and keep pushing the gas and the wheels spin. My son loves this and i would recommend it to anyone for outside use or on caroet :)

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

I use mine on our hardwood floors and it hasn't scratched them yet. I always put it on the setting that your supposed to for them.

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.

I personally haven't had it used on hardwood, but the wheels are exactly like roller skate wheels and I don't think that it will affect the wood.

The wheels are not a hard plastic they are more like a little soft rubber styrofoam type material. I do not think they will scratch the floor. My granddaughter loves the carrage.

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.

The wheels are made of hard plastic. I've wheeled my cart on my hardwood floor but only once. I didn't notice any damage.

I have one and yes it scratches my hardwood floors. Keen for aFix on the front wheel e.g soft rubber. There are a few online forums about this issue

No, you would need to get the set for hardwood. Its like $15-16 for the set of 5 here in amazon with prime. Still, if used a lot you might get marks on the floor so try to keep the floor clean and oiled because the dust that builds up on the wheels will scratch it.

I noticed the DC25 left a scratch on our new engineered wood floor. My solution was to wrap the wheels and the middle section of the ball with masking tape. Kind of a nuisance to have to do that with a $400 vacuum, but it no longer scratches!

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 wheels are made of the same plastic as the rest of the toy (like that of a play kitchen). If you take it out on a road they will be scratched and then I personally wouldn't want it on my hardwood, but if you keep it as an inside toy, you're safe! Our baby got this at 12 mo and is now 21 mo and keeps loving it more and more! :)

We bought this for our daughter and found that due to the hard tires that this toy is a little hard on our hardwood floors. It can also be damaging to Sheetrock walls so for us we make sure our daughter rides it outside.

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