Will this scratch hardwood floors?

I personally haven't had it used on hardwood, but the wheels are exactly like roller skate wheels and I don't think that it will affect the wood.

No. The wheels are soft rubber and very smooth. If you take your ponycycle outside on rough surface than the wheels probable will not be as smooth. My granddaughter rides inside on smooth surfaces. They have hardwood floors. Not laminate.

I doubt it. It runs / rides on clear rubber wheels ...like inline skates!Never left any marks on our wooden floors!!

Thought this was answered. I have two and grandkids use on my wooden floors, no problems. I don't let them go outside on concrete; kept inside so wheels don't get any gashes to scratch floors.

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.

Our 3 year old, 10 year old and friends have all ridden it on our hardwood floors and there are No scratches!

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 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.

Yes, it can scratch. Its not an issue with the construction, its the finish - solid wood with that finish would likely scratch as well.

Yes it will. It puts slight scratches in the hardwood floor as the wheels are a hard plastic so when they turn the wheels thats when it scratches and also when they get stuck and keep pushing the gas and the wheels spin. My son loves this and i would recommend it to anyone for outside use or on caroet :)

It will scratch any non-carpeted flooring. I have wood floors through out my house. It was only after I ordered, received, opened it & watched the instructional DVD that I learned it was not to be used on wood & other finished flooring because it will scratch it. My son promptly demonstrated that for me. Now I have a circular pattern of scratches from his "trick" he showed me. I would not have purchased this if I had known it would scuff the flooring. My kids did use it outside, too, & it made the bottom of it even more roughed up. If you have carpet & smaller kids I'd say yes, it might be worth the price. Definitely NEED carpet!!!

The corners are roughand yes, they will scratch hardwood floors if you do not have a mat or something similar under it. The rest if the frame is smooth.

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

I didn't have any trouble with this machine scratching up any type of floor. I used it on tile and laminate. My laminate is very scratch prone and had no issues!

Maybe I didn't do a good enough job cleaning out the brush after every use, but even though I didn't run the brush on the hardwood floor, I got a light but very long scratch on my hardwood floor. That was the end of me using this vacuum on the hardwood floor.

Furniture movers work well on hardwood floors. As far as the weight of the item I would be careful while moving it to be sure it does not scratch.

I have laminate wood flooring, not hardwood floors. I usually sweep and mop that floor, but I got my vacuum out to answer your questions and went over the laminate floor with it. There is no scratching at all whatsoever and it does pick up dirt and stuff just fine. I've even picked up a few pebbles or a small screw, etc. with no ill effects. Great vacuum! The rotating brush on the floor doesn't bother me or seem to make a lot of noise. Just the same sound from the carpet to the laminate flooring with a little more hollow sound on the hard floor.

I would not use this to clean hardwood floors. It may leave scratches. The bristle are a little bit hard. You clean tile floors with this.

You would need to use this vacuum on the low setting. I haven't noticed any new scratches on my wooden laminate floor.

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)

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.
