Do you think this wheel will scratch hardwood floor?

It hasn't scratched mine, but it did leave a little black mark that was easily removed with a wet napkin.

No. This is a heavy duty smooth wheel. Unless it gets grit/dirt imbedded in the wheel itself prior to rolling on a hardwood floor I think it would be very safe.
1343845
No, but may leave marks to be removed. Certainly, any wheel will scratch if grit is present.
1343846
No, not during normal use. The only danger of scratching would be if something like a pebble got stuck under a wheel and dragged across the floor.

I don't think so, unless you'd try to move it with the brake on. The brakes are really good, and may make it like your dragging the shelving. The wheels them selfs roll very easy even on carpet and are made very well.

These wheels are hard rubber but I haven't had any problems with our hardwood 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.

I would assume so since wheels are plastic....but my granddaughter skates on cement basement floor so I don't have experience with hardwood.

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

I don't think it will scratch wood floors. The bristles are soft enough and the plastic is hard enough to be useful but will bend.

I have hardwood floors as well, with scatter rugs. It works wonderfully on wood and tile, and Ive seen no evidence at all of scratching. Hope this helps!

No Jason it will not, my floors are mostly wood. The two large wheels are both rubber and one small plastic wheel in which the sweeper spins and turns on. The bristles on the brush are soft as well. It does bounce on furniture and baseboards but no scuff marks or damage. I am very particular about my things and would not recommend this sweeper if it caused damage. You would also find that in other peoples reviews that use iRobot.

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.

It may depend upon the floor, but I doubt it would scratch. Purchased for my granddaughter and they have hardwood throughout their house.

If it was my hardwood floor I would get a chair mat to protect it. I don't trust any type wheels on my floor. And the wheels are hard plastic.

Yes, the wheels do just fine on hardwood floors. I gave this toy to my grandson for his birthday, and he lives in an old house with only hardwood floors on the main level. There is no problem with the traction.

As long as yours comes with the rollerblade poly wheels it won't scratch your floors. If you get the hard wheels, they will scratch your floors.

No, and I had this same concern as well. The rubber treads on the wheels make it safe to use on hard wood floors.

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

there's a chance it will scratch the wood floor. We let my niece to slide down on a rug.

It won't scratch your floors, the wheels are fairly smooth and plastic. However the car is more for riding not for pushing (unless you are a grown-up).

actually if you dont keep the small wheels clean and they stop rolling it will scuff the floor. as long as you keep the small wheels free of debris you will be fine
