I gave this one two stars since they actually do save you 45 pennies in the end, but the MSRP on the iRobot site is 39.99 (+ $9.95 shipping), NOT 59.99.

So, what they did was have the item with "free" super saver shipping, after raising the price $20, then giving a "discount" of $10.50, which means your actual savings is .125%, not "18%".

Normally I'd save the $.45, but this was so sneaky, that I will be giving the manufacturer my business.

The replacement parts were of good quality. The packaging protected the parts effectively. I also appreciated replacement screws being included with the flat rotating brush.

We have a two year old Golden that sheds like wild so we schedule the roomba to clean about 1200 sq ft every morning from 2am to 5am so It needs to have brushes changed/cleaned every two or three days but it beats the hell out of doing the sweeping every day Replacement Brushes interchange nicely as originals. we love it

The replacement brushes work fine - except that my Roomba now leaves a little trail of cat hair wherever it goes. The flexible brush is missing a little disc at each end that was present in the original brush. What happens is the cat hair wraps around the brush, migrates down to the end, wraps around the small part of the axle, makes a huge wad of cat hair, and then redeposits it onto the carpet. With the brush with the little disc, the cat hair stays on the brush part and gets swept into the dust bin.

So it works great except on cat hair, which in my case, as one of my friends put it, is like saying it cleans great except for it doesn't work on dirt.

I'm ordering new flexible brushes that include the little disc.

The parts seem pretty close to the original ones. To fully evaluate the parts it's necessary to wait the performance in the long run.. Ok for now !!

Note that the rubber paddle brush has very small sections on the ends that will wind pet fur tightly. It is a time consuming process to clean this fur out of the ends. If you have a shedding pet be wary of this product. Cleaning it will be difficult enough to limit its usefulness.

This is a great source for your Roomba replacement brushes. Best price and you can get just what you need. At the Roomba site you have to buy more than you need. Quick shipping and good product.

The info and photo of the Roomba side brushes showed the new six arm style and they shipped the old three arm style. I am returning the product. A normal person would think a company would know theri produce better than an old fisherman. For some reason my negative review keep disappearing. Go figure..

They look like they are in great condition, but somehow we have yet to figure out how to get them re-installed. Everytime we run the roomba now it isn't picking up, but rather just sweeping the dirt around. Probably user error, but frustrating cause we love Rosie (from the Jetsons - our Roomba)
