Does it scratch hardwood floors like my dyson just did?

It's the best vacuum ever . So far. I can't answer the "scratch my floors" question, because I live in a civil War-era farmhouse. However, I would guess that my three Chessies and one stray hound dog probably scratch the floors as much or more than any vacuum might!

I use this model on daily in both my hardwood and carpet and did not have any issues with scratching . However I also previously owned the Dyson animal and didn't either . I will say though I actually prefer the Dyson over this unit for a few reasons: 1. Lighter - (Miele is very heavy)2. Do not need to buy bags 3. Pick up is better One thing I really do like about the Miele is the lights on it - you can see the hair on the hardwood really well with it- almost like a xenon headlight it is.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! An excellent machine! One tip (for any type of sweeper) if you want to pick up pet hair from any carpet. Mist your carpet with water VERY lightly. Your sweeper will pick up hair 3 times faster and more thoroughly.

We have tile and laminate no scratching but don't know about wood. I will tell you ours has a clog that 2 shops have been unable to get out because it is so hard to access.

I use mine on our hardwood floors and it hasn't scratched them yet. I always put it on the setting that your supposed to for them.

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!

No. My 90 lb puppy and 80 lb dog are harder on the floors then the Miele. We just had the floors redone so we'd def. notice if the vacuum did damage. Really love this machine!

No it does not. But because it is off the floor, it does not always pull all the dust off the floor. As long as you are mopping from time to time it is a complete vacuum.

I have been using it on my newly refinished hardwood floors without any issues. Does not seem to scratch them and it picks up well. However I have found it somewhat hard to move over my new plusher carpet even on the lowest suction level.

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.

Yes, the brush is very soft. I bought it specifically for hardwood floors as we have them throughout our house. This brush does a great job and since the bristles are so soft, it's very easy to vacuum them clean. You won't be disappointed.

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

Most of my first floor is hardwood. I'm using Roomba Discovery for 7 months now and there is no scratch on them!! the cleaning brush has soft bristles so it wont scratch the floors. i love it. it does a great job. i also have carpet and linoleum upstairs and roomba makes the carpet look like new every time. every time i come home to a clean floors i feel i did a great decision buying this and where was i before having it. how did i spend all that time on vacuuming for 2 hours with my bad back. this is a must!! i promise u will love it. only disadvantages i see is that Roomba Discovery is noisy. its better to use it when you are not home or going out. cleaning is a breeze. Just wash the brushes and filters. Manufacturer suggests you replace the filters every 2 months but its not true. U get 2 filters with the box and when ever its dirty, just vacuum it or wash it gently under the running water. Let it dry completely of course but the 2 filters should last you at least a year.

We have laminate wood floor and it doesn't scratch it at all. I'm not sure how it would do on real hardwood.

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

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

It doesn't. I clean my hard floors with it an use a different vac on my carpet.

I haven' had a problem at all. I do make sure there are any larger chunks of things on the floor though. A piece of glass might flip around in the beater bar and scratch the wood. That's the case with any vacuum I suppose. I've been really happy with it. Only complaint is that the cord gets in the way.

It does not scratch hardwood floors. I use it every other day to sweep up cat hair! I like it because it sucks up the hair and it does not blow it around like it does when you use a dust mop.

I have wood floors also and it does fine on mine. I haven't noticed any damage from the sweeper. I really like it.

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

Yes it does we just put in a very expensive bedroom floor and you can see every mark ! I stopped using it the attachment that comes with it does not protect your hardwood floors you need a better attachment with more brush on the bottom. As far as the vacuum I am impressed with the power of the motor and super light to carry

It didn't scratch ours, but we have actual hardwood, not a laminate product on our floors. Also, the toy pushes well on carpet, but not so much in the grass on the lawn.

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