Does the Animal model without the soft roller scratch hardwood floors? Is it necessary to purchase the Absolute in order to guarantee that the hardwood floors will not be scratched by the nylon bristles of the regular head? null

We are using it on hardwood with no issues. You can set the height of the brush accordingly.

Hi Tom, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal, and the V10 Absolute, both have the same torque drive cleaner head with a spinning brush bar. The head has strong pick- up performance across all surfaces. The DC motor is housed within the brush bar, and it transfers torque to the bar to dig bristles deeper into carpet to dislodge more dirt. You certainly can use this head on your bare floors. If you have hard wood, or a more delicate bare floor surface, you may appreciate the soft roller of the Absolute. This tool was engineered specifically for bare floors, and is made of soft woven nylon and anti-static carbon fiber. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

We have laminate flooring, and the standard rotating power head doesn't mark our floors at all.

I didn't get the soft roller and we have laminate flooring. It doesn't hurt my flooring.

No,
Works well on hardwood. Soft fluffy roller works great on hardwood. I’ve been using a month and it doesn’t scratch. The new carpet and hardwood floor attachment does much better on hardwood than the V8 did.
