Owners with hard floors say the Deebot X8 Pro Omni’s rubber wheels and soft roller mop are gentle on wood and other delicate surfaces, and as long as the user occasionally checks for trapped debris in the mop or wheels they do not see scratches or surface damage from regular automated cleaning.
After each run the dock’s hot-water wash and heated drying cycle scrub and dry the S5X’s mop pads, cutting down on manual pad cleaning and helping keep odors under control.
After cleaning runs, the 3.0 dock washes the Edge S5A’s mop pads with hot water, scrubs the tray and then dries the pads, reducing odors and routine hands-on pad maintenance.
The dock’s self cleaning spray cycle and the mop roller’s ability to wash itself mid run help keep the mop and base cleaner over time with minimal user intervention.
Soft dusting tools and felt details help protect baseboards and delicate surfaces; careful technique is still needed to avoid scuffs when reaching under low furniture.
Rubber bumpers and rubber-coated wheels/castors help reduce the risk of scuffing hard floors and furniture when the canister bumps into things. Using the right brushes and being mindful around paintwork is still advised since the canister can bash corners.
Soft-bristle/combination tools and adjustable suction help protect delicate fabrics and surfaces while still lifting dust; users like being able to keep distance without losing pickup.
Rubberized tips and soft dusting tools help protect trim and furniture; some users mention a minor scratching sound on hard floors that seems related to wheels rather than the brush itself.
Reviewers didn’t report carpet damage when using the provided solution, and spot-testing is recommended; brush-and-suction tools are intended for carpets and upholstery without harsh abrasion; safe use depends on choosing compatible cleaner and not over-wetting delicate fabrics.
On hard floors, the brushroll is generally described as gentle and unlikely to scratch, while the raw suction can be too strong for delicate textiles (like sheer curtains) unless used cautiously and with the right tool/mode.
Attachment surface safety is generally fine, but at least one reviewer warns the motorized Pet Tool can mark delicate surfaces if left spinning in one spot, so careful use is advised.
The added self-cleaning cycle rinses the brush and base effectively in under a minute but can splash some water backward, uses whatever solution or water you pour into the tray, and may stop early if the dirty tank fills and trips the float shutoff.
