Great value.
Fits my roomba 56001 perfectly, and shipping was timely. Cannot comment about the brushes with 3 arms, other than reading online posts citing the durability of the original 6 arm version. My original 6 arms brush lasted well over a year of weekly use.
I have used these replacement brushes for 6 cleaning cycles so far, and all 6 "appendages" are still intact. Gives me confidence these will last for a while. The only noticeable difference compared to the original is the color, and each appendage of the replacement is slightly stouter (hopefully, designed to stand up to breakage better). Cleans as effectively as the original. I like the note included in the package from the vendor to contact them immediately if not 100% satisfied. I am very happy with the purchase, and will keep buying these replacement brushes as long as they keep selling these.
This product does not work the way it is supposed to.
I bought this 6 arm version side brush to replace the previous 3 arm version I had been using previously for my Roomba 780. The first thing I noticed is that these brushes are packed in a cellophane bag that is too small which results in the brush bristles being bent at different angles reducing their effectiveness. The major problem that I noticed however, is that the brushes often stop turning while the Roomba is in operation. This problem occurs especially when the Roomba nears the baseboards of my house. Since the brushes are designed for cleaning along the baseboards and corners this defect makes the product totally useless. I'm not sure why this happens but I suspect that the rubber arms that the brushes are attached to are too long for the recessed well that they fit into causing them to get hung up by the weight of the Roomba. I never recalled seeing this happen on the 3 armed side brush that I had been using previously. I contacted the shipper (Certified Battery) about this...
Replacement Brushes for Roomba
What can you say about a replacement part? It came on time and it fit. It upgrades my unit. I am waiting to see if it is more effective.
