I would like to get an early Electrolux that have the runners instead of wheels. I have all hardwood floors, will the runners scratch the floors? James | ||

If you drag the machine across the floor, then yes....it'll scratch the floor. If you pick it up and move it, then it wont. | ||

Wrapping I could probably wrap the bottom of the runners with felt or Styrofoam but that would take away the vintage look that I like. J | ||

Hmmmmm Cute idea! I bet it would work, I could find a u shaped bracket to go over the runner and screw or bolt it to the skate board. J | ||

Small bungie cords would do nicely too....that way it's removable! :-) | ||

If the runners on the Lux are in good shape, I don't believe they will scratch the floor. I use my model 30 here and have never had a problem. If you have soft pine floors you may have to be more careful. People worry about hardwood, but it actually takes a lot to scratch them. I even use it in the kitchen which is ceramic tile, no scuffs there either. Just my two cents. Morgan | ||

Actually, Electrolux runners will -not-scratch floors. Not even the early flat-bottom versions. If the runners are rusty, they can leave "skid marks" but will not scratch. | ||

Thanks Guys... For your help. Now I just need to decide on which one to get. I will probably use it in my bedroom upstairs, so I can put the power head back on the Kirby. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. James | ||
