Will this scratch my hardwood floors?

MY son uses it in our house on the wood floor and it doesn't scratch them. Of course he only weighs about 40 pounds.

I'm not at all familiar with the durability of wood floors, I suppose it would depend on the type of wood and what (if any) topical treatment is on it. That being said, these are exactly like the ones used in school gymnasiums with wood flooring. We've had ours several years now and they've held up very well!

Ms. Romero, The ones I ordered for the grandchildren are used for outside fun. I personally would not trust them on wood floors.

We do not have hardwood flooring, so I cannot answer as to any damage that it could do, if any, but on our stone floors it seems to vacuum the small bits and any dirt that may find it's way to the floor.

It is a plastic cap. Seems smooth and is somewhat tapered. I personally do not think it would scratch a hardwood floor.

That would be difficult for me to answer because all of my floors are tile some rooms have carpet over the tile. I really like my vacuum and it is great for me because I can not use one that is heavy at all. I do not see any thing on the vacuum that would scratch.

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.

It will not scratch floors. It has a wobble bottom, which is plastic, and like a stability ball, makes you sit straight. It's great - I got the idea from a friend of mine who is a vocal coach, and conductor. He has one at home, and one in the pit of a theater where he plays and conducts.

I haven't had a problem with it scratching my wood floor. It just doesn't pick up much.

Danger Danger! The upright vacuum wheels scratched my hardwood floors. I repeat the wheels on the upright vacuum scratched my hand scraped hardwood floors. I would not EVER use this vacuum on hardwood floors of any kind.

Yes. We used it on our wood floors and there wasn't a scratch on the floors anywhere when we were done.

We mostly use ours on carpets and no issues there. If hardwood floors have sand/dirt and the board is rubbed over it, the chances are good it will scratch.

Plastic, and yes, it will scratch hardwood floors. You will need to get the horse hair brush attachment. It works incredible.

I haven't noticed any problems with scratching/damaging my hardwood or tile flooring, but I don't find this vacuum (or other model any I've tried) to be amazing on these surfaces. I still prefer sweeping and using a Shark steamer mop for hard surfaces.

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

I have hardwood floors and have let my two year old ride this on them all over the house. No scratches. We have had no problems.We have the roller blade wheels which are soft, which I think they all come with anyway. Hope this helps

I've never used it on flooring and I don't think it is really intended for them unless the scratch is deep enough to penetrate to the actual wood. Otherwise it dries rather quickly, but it will have to be reapplied as it is not a permanent fix unfortunately.

No, it does not scratch wood floors. It does a great job! And the suction gets the hard to reach corners.
