i have only hardwood floors (which are polyurethaned). will the bissell 3-in-1 scratch them?

I do not believe so, it does OK on vinyl kitchen floors. I am down grading my opinion of it as it does not do a decent job with pills (fuzz off of socks) on pile rugs.

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!

yes, i think it would. the rollers are hard plastic and might scratch the floors.

I haven't noticed it scratching my hardwood floors, (or any other floors), but my wood floors are parquet, and are not covered with polyurethane, so scratches would be less noticeable anyway.

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

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.

I have three on carpet and one on engineered wood and it hasn't scratched it. There are round plastic tabs attached to the bottom of the legs.

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.

No, it does not scratch the wooden floors. It does a beautiful job cleaning them, and is so quiet.

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.

No - I use it on my wood floors and it does not scratch them..the plastic "wheels" seem to go over the floors just fine.

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

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!

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.

I just took a look at the bottom. I don't see anything that would scratch hardwood floors. It has the two main wheels in the back and two small rollers under the vacuum head. Both of these are medium to firm rubber. Should be good to go.Jim

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

I doubt it will scratch the floor since there is a plastic protection ring on the bottom. I assume its there for a reason.

Yes, I did wash them with other things and also did this with my microfiber rags. I noticed as you did the washing instructions and now I know why my fiber cloths are all messed up. They grab any and all lint, debris etc that will be in the washwater and it clings to them so when you use them again; it could scratch surfaces. I think with the Bissell I would feel safer than regular cloths if you only use on tile/linoleum not hardwoods. What I found is you cannot get the dirt out period, so good luck. Bleaching them in the sink helps but not much.

I bought mine after putting nice Shaw laminate flooring all thru my house. I got tired of buying expensive cleaning sprays and bought the libmans and use vinegar and water in the reservoir. There is nothing in this mop pad that could scratch a laminate floor, unless maybe you're sloppy and don't put the pad on straight and the part the pad attaches to hits the floor. I've never had that happen and i've been using it for over a year. Do not saturate the floor.. just spritz it and go.

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.
