The back of the mat has extruded spikes (~1/8 inch) made of the polycarb material that somewhat grip the carpet. These could scratch a wood floor.(depending on where you are placing your mat, you could just place some old carpet or even a folded towel under the floor section to prevent any scratching. it will also help to level out the transition between the floor and carpet.)

No! It does not scratch my hardwood floors, and the vacuum is far superior than any vacuum I have ever owned. It has two motors and the head swivels. So awesome! It is heavy however...but I workout with weights at the gym. Hope this helps!

I use it on mine. There is a flap that drops down flush with the floor that may pose an issue but you can manually flap up if you're worried it may scratch. (this is the eraser part-- it's covered in felt and I haven't noticed scratching on my wood. Though to be fair my wood is pretty scratched from my 2 dogs and 3 kids. Lol)

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

I assume you are talking about scratches to a real hardwood floor. Well it also depends how deep the scratches are. If you have an old floor then you probably have a darkened floor due to wax buildup. If the scratches have just gone thru that then you can do either of two things 1) keep putting you floor cleaner on and more so over the scratches, over a period of time it too will buildup and darken and cover the scratches. 2) Use Simple Green and rub the wax around the scratches and blend it in to the rest of the floor. Simple Green works like a slow acting wax remover so you will have time to blend it. If the scratches have gone thru the finish and are down into the wood then you have to start matching up wood stain with the color of the rest of the floor. All of these are more art then anything else..it's trial and error. Usually dogs and hardwood don't match well. A dog is better suited to a tile floor. But if that is what you have and scratches are a concern, you will eventually become a pro at this.

We use it on our wood floors and have not had any sratches at all. The brush is designed to be used on hard floors. I would imagine if something abrasive got stuck on the brush or roller it could scratch the floor, but we have not had any tangles in ours yet and we've been using it for about half a year. Also it has a cear top over the brush so if anything was stuck in there you would see it. Plus there is a button to turn the brush off if you want to. Has been a great vacuum, we love it.

Since I don't have marble floors, I can't say if it will scratch or not. There's a strip on the pad for getting tough dirt off, but it isn't gritty really. My dogs have done more damage to my cheapy wood floors over the years than this pad could.

As long as yours comes with the rollerblade poly wheels it won't scratch your floors. If you get the hard wheels, they will scratch your floors.

This is half on hardwood floor and half on carpet in our house and has been since Christmas . Thus far, I haven't noticed any scratches, although it does get pushed around a bit.

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.

I tested it on hardwood floors and it did not scratch the floors, however, if a 30 lb. dog jumps up on the pen it will slide. There is nothing to anchor or to prevent it from sliding around unless it's on grass or concrete.

we have a tile/wood floor . it has not scratched yet, the panels cone with small (self stick)foam pads that stick to the corners to avoid scratching

Our Dyson scratched our hardwood floors. It's too low to the ground, so anything hard & tiny will get pushed & ground into the floor by the vacuum.

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.

Hi the brushes for the combination carpet/hard flooring nozzle are soft enough that they will not scratch any surface. If you want you can always get the hardwood floor attachment which is made of horsehair bristles, which are firm but gentle cleaning of your hard flooring surfaces. hope this helps.

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.
