Are there any incidents of the brushes scratching the floor? I would want to use the appliance on ceramic tile.

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!

I only have tile in a small bathroom as the rest of the areas I've used this on were laminate flooring. I've never had any trouble with scratching on either surface

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.

None, but it has not scratched our floors...we've used them for Poms to Bernese Mtn dog whom moved it all over the place. The painted coating makes the surface area very smoothe. They are heavy duty but they do not weight alot - I push them out of place, mop the floor and then push them back and I have not made scratches on the floor doing that either. I suppose if the wood is a soft wood like Maple it may be a problem I'm not sure.

Sorry to here that! I have not had that happen. My ceramic griddle came with small scratches on the lip on one side and after using the griddle awhile, the scratches have not peeled or gotten bigger.

I wouldn't.. it's much stiffer than you think it is... and the plastic bristles I believe would scratch.. I used it to clean grout, and it scratched the tile.

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.

Yes. I have a ceramic-top stove and have had no problem with scratching. I like the pan. It is very shallow but I like it.

It doesn't seem very powerful and yes I've used cleanser and spray but again, it will scratch because the brush head is so stiff. Not meant for bathtubs but maybe tile.

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.

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 do not have marble but see no reason why not to as it is a very light machine and it has the soft pads that fit over the brushes so it should not scratch the marble. Be sure to have the area free of dirt and grit before use.

I have ceramic tiles, it works great. There is an attachment hose and fittings you can purchase for not much extra that does real well on the hard floors. It gets around the edges and corners better than just using the main Sebo vac on hard floors.

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.

I've used vinegar and water to clean tile and had no problems with machine. Not used on wood floors.

The handle isn't overly strong, so I think you'd be best with a short brush where you could exert some force to clean floor grout and tiles.

The tile surface has a slight roughness that is only apparent if you know it was treated. I applied to stairs but not the entire floor. The tiles that were treated look the same as the untreated but now the treated tiles have grip even when wet. Clean easily with a broom or hand held vac.

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