Is it safe to use on hardwood floors? Does it scratch hardwood floors?

It is safe on Hardwood floors. I have all hardwood floors and two big shedding dogs. The Neato saves me from having hair bunnies everywhere.

Has not damaged mine. The wheels are a soft rubber and I would find it hard to image that they would scratch or mar a wood floor.

We use ours on hardwood floors. Sorry I could not help. My 2 year old loves his!

I use it only on tile. Everything I have read says you should NOT use on older hardwood floors.

The bottom is a curved plastic. I use it on a carpet surface. The only way it would scratch your hard wood is if some debris is stuck to the base. If you keep a clean floor it shouldn't be a problem.

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

Not that I can tell. I use this vacuum cleaner on our hardwood floors weekly, and unless I am being blind, I don't think there are any scratches. Mind you, we have a big dog, and he is brutal on the floors, so maybe it is hard for me to tell. I still love this vacuum. It is of course not the most powerful one you will find, but for what I am asking it to do, it is great. It is lightweight, has no cord to hassle with, and is reasonably quiet. Two thumbs up from me!

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

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 dark and glossy wooden flooring (Santos Mahogany) in my house. I regularly use Roomba to vacuum them, and I do not get any scratches on my floor.

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.

There are no rough edges so it should not scratch your floors. I have hardwoods and it moves around fine. Also it is very light and can be lifted easily although sturdy enough that it won't tip over at all. Highly recommended.

At least I do not see any scratches by Hetty on the dark hardwood floor (which shows any scratches and dirt easily) and on the marble floor. I hope you can hear from someone who uses it on the laminate floor.

After I used it on my wood floor it developed scratches. It does not cover scratches. I am thinking of having it professionally removed since stripping it was a horrifically drawn out ordeal.

I use it on hardwood floors with no problems. The rubber on the legs protect it. I have been using it for about 6 months faithfully.

Yes absolutely, our product is safe to use on hardwood floors. Make sure to apply enough solution to affected areas.

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.
