I have not had any issues with scratching. There are no components of the roomba that will scratch a floor. What WILL scratch a floor is any debris on the floor that can scratch a wood floor. The unit operates by driving over debris, two rubber rollers with extended edges/flaps pressing down and 'flinging upward' the debris into the collection box. Same concept as using a vacuum cleaner with the beater brush turned on (carpet setting instead of bare floor setting) on a wood floor. If you drop a screw onto a wood floor and apply one or two pounds of downward pressure on the screw with your finger and then slide it on the wood floor - yeah - your floor will be scratched. So - if you drop something hard that could scratch a wood floor - just pick it up... If your floor is scratched - look inside the debris collected. Then blame whoever left the offending object on the floor.
