Is the wheel soft rubber or polyurethane? I need a soft rubber wheel that won't mark my hardwood floors. Thanks!

This one is a poly wheel. Let me know ifyou are still looking a softer wheel. Poly will not mark the floors. Soft black rubber will. thanks

I have hardwood floors, the wheels are duel plastic type but I have my chair on a plastic floor mat because I think any wheels will wear enough to damage a floor be it hard wood or linoleum type floor .

It doesn't have a very soft floor end, and the wheels are plastic, but it also isn't very heavy. We didn't have any problem with scratched floors, but our wood floors had a pretty scratch-resistant finish. It could cause slight scratches on softer finishes.

The wheels did not leave black marks on wood flooring. However, if you wheel through dirt it will bring some inside just like the bottom of your shoes.

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

As others have said, the wheels are a hard rubber. They don't mar my solid walnut floors and my floor normally scratches easily; they are not the Lumber Liquidator type (which is really resilient), but the real kind with polyurethane finish. It is a solid cart with large baskets and more sturdy hooks than I've seen with other carts.

They are rubber- hard rubber--like training wheels. I have not seen it mark any surface. My mother has had hers for almost six months. My sister bought one for her mother-in-law for Christmas. I have arthritis and borrowed it from my mother to walk in Chicago in snow & cold. It never marked any floors in the hotel, stores, etc.

Hard plastic or rubber, it is difficult to tell, but I own two of these tables, one with casters and one without. I put felt stick on pads on the leg bottoms of the one without casters and use it on my hardwood floors. That has worked excellently. Hope this helps.

The wheels are plastic. I have carpet so I can't say what they will do to hard wood floors. Once you get this vacuum the wheels are the least of your concerns. Get some Torx screw drivers one set for size T9 and down and the other set for size T10 and up. You need these to take apart the vacuum for maintenance that it doesn't tell you about. I burnt out a rolling brush bar because hair has been stuck on one of its ends and fused to the bar, breaking its hard plastic. Now I clean it like it's a weapon to a solider.

The wheels are made of a hard composite material and have never scratched my floors. I really like the unit as it has created more room in my kitchen after removing the permanent island we had.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

They are a very hard rubber. They do not leave marks on the floors or carpets, however.

Rubber backing. Very thick soft cushy. Should stay fine on carpet. Doesn't move at all in my tile floor. Puppy loves it.

Yes, the red and black Swivel I ordered have polyurethane (rubber) wheels ... no marks on hardwood!

Uh, rigid, def not soft rubber so if your worried about a wood floor scratching up or something then this is not for you. Hope this helped!

Rubber tubed tires. Safe on hardwood as long as tires are clean. Ideally while moving items over hardwood you would want to lay down a protective runner. Big tires would handle somewhat rough terrain

It had better be soft enough because that's what I'm using it for: hardwood floors. I've only had it a short time, but feeling the bristles with my fingers, I can't see that they would do any damage.
