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!

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.

While I do not have hardwood floors my friend has hardwood floors throughout her house and she also has the iRobot Roomba 630 and it did not scratch her floor.

That would be difficult for me to answer because all of my floors are tile some rooms have carpet over the tile. I really like my vacuum and it is great for me because I can not use one that is heavy at all. I do not see any thing on the vacuum that would scratch.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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 have never used it on laminate but after reading everything on laminite floors because I recently had them installed, I wouldn't do it

No, it does not scratch the wooden floors. It does a beautiful job cleaning them, and is so quiet.

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

Yes. I really like mine and use it on laminate wood floor that is not as durable as bamboo. No problem with scratching.

MY son uses it in our house on the wood floor and it doesn't scratch them. Of course he only weighs about 40 pounds.

I tested it on hardwood floors and it did not scratch the floors, however, if a 30 lb. dog jumps up on the pen it will slide. There is nothing to anchor or to prevent it from sliding around unless it's on grass or concrete.
