Does this vacuum have rubber or plastic wheels? Rubber is supposed to be better on hardwood floors since they don't scratch like plastic.

I want to say plastic . I was dumb and bought a used machine guaranteed for 6 months and sure enough 5 and a half months later it quit so I threw it out. It was to say the least a disappointment and another thing it is a tiny piece of machinery

There are two bigger plastic wheels on back and a small plastic swivel wheel in front. I have had this vacuum for a few years and see no scratches on my wood laminate. Moves along very well.

They are plastic. The back wheels are bigger and are a softer plastic. The front wheel is a little harder plastic, and it is smaller. I have not noticed any scratching on my floor, but my floor is not in the best condition.

I have hardwood floors and the wheels have not scratched the floors at all.

Yes it has a hardwood floor attachment and no it doesn't have wheels on attachment but does have a small pet attachment with small wheels.

It's a hard plastic. It won't scratch a hardwood floor, but it may leave scuff marks. It doesn't really slide. But you could easily push it on a wood floor

I'm not so sure if this are really Rubber Wheels? why? simply because if they really were Rubber they would be FLAT couldn't hold the weight put on them. I use them everywhere, I have not had marks or scratches on my floors I use them on cement and on Laminate floors. no problems on my side. But like the law of things? try it on a piece of what ever you are going to use them on and see for yourself. I'm very happy with how they work and hold the weight and they do not go flat if left on the same spot a long time. I have not moved the shelves for a period of 8 months the last time and when I moved the rack it rolled. :) hope it helps...

My Medline is a recent purchase, and it has the 3-spoke wheels. The number of spokes is not an issue for me, but I WAS surprised to see that this is the first rollator I've ever owned that has plastic wheels rather than rubber ones. The plastic wheels slide like crazy on our hardwood floors, and this is a real issue for me because I have paralyzed feet. I heartily wish these wheels were rubber as my two previous rollators were.

The bottom is a rubbery (not slippery and not squishy) feeling plastic (if you knock on it with your fist it's a hard material). I use mine on carpet but my wife uses one on wood floors and it doesn't slide or leave scratches.

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

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.

the Dyson DC24 rolls on the big yellow ball in the center, the wheels on the beater bar are tiny, and could be rubber or soft plastic, the two rear wheels are for standing the vacuum when not in use, they are in the up position when vacuum is used, they are hard plastic, I have had no problems with scratches. Check the beater bar for twisted hair and trim off as needed, I really like this machine. There are two filters to clean which I do about once a month, easy.

I have hardwood floors and haven't noticed any scratches from the small rollers. They do recommend testing it out in a less visible area of the floor to be sure the rollers won't leave marks.

Yes, the red and black Swivel I ordered have polyurethane (rubber) wheels ... no marks on hardwood!

I have these chairs. The wheels are hard plastic but they are not marking up my hardwood floors.

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

Hard plastic or rubber, it is difficult to tell, but I own two of these tables, one with casters and one without. I put felt stick on pads on the leg bottoms of the one without casters and use it on my hardwood floors. That has worked excellently. Hope this helps.

Danger Danger! The upright vacuum wheels scratched my hardwood floors. I repeat the wheels on the upright vacuum scratched my hand scraped hardwood floors. I would not EVER use this vacuum on hardwood floors of any kind.

The wheels are plastic or hard smooth rubber but seemed to hold fine. My father uses this mostly on linoleum and carpet.
