iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaner Side Brush Roomba 500 Series Side Brush - Replacement For iRobot 81501 Side Brush

iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaner Side Brush Roomba 500 Series Side Brush - Replacement For iRobot 81501 Side Brush
I wouldn't buy this again. Would return the item to the seller if it is worth the hassle. It has a design defect in that the side brush arms are at a greater angle compared to the OEM part. Do a side by side comparison of this item with the original side brush from iRobot. The side brush arms in the replacement part are too close to the floor (once installed in Roomba) unlike the OEM part. This causes the side brush to go under a rug instead of floating on top when Roomba makes a transition from hardwood or tile to a rug lying on the hardwood/tile floor. This in turn causes the Roomba to get stuck, then back up and try a different angle and it happens too often. I went back to the OEM part and my Roomba transitions from tile to rug-on-tile easily as before.

A Bad Design Copy
I totaly agree with some of the other reviews even for the 700 series. There is an angel error in the design of this brush. This causes the side brush to go under a rug instead of passing on top when making a transition during cleaning a) from hardwood or tile to a rug lying on the hardwood/tile floor or b) when a rug is lying on top of the wall to wall carpet floor. This in turn causes the Roomba to get stuck everytime it trys to pass a rug. I will go back to the OEM part, and I advise everyone to do the same.

Hawaii Review
This product was a great item for the price. The value was good. The number of brushes, of course, improved on the cleaning. The problem with the product is that because it had so many brushes, it had a hard time transitioning from the floor to the rug. Sometimes I had to give it a little tug. This was not a problem with four brushes. I think the brushes being so many kept the roomba from being more mobile when going from floor to rug.

Tenergy Replacement Battery for iRobot Scooba 5900

Great replacement
My scooba battery died after one year of usage, I grabbed this battery as a replacement, it doubled the cleaning cycle for my scooba.. A+

Did Not Fit Right, Did not Last
Bought one of these back in October. Charged it when I got the battery, and it worked fine. Then the Scooba was parked for several months with the battery removed. Started using the Scooba again a month ago. Everything fine. Used Scooba 3 times, Now the battery will not charge. Only 6 month warranty on Battery. I will buy my next one from iRobot. Learned my lesson. Oh and the battery does not want to stay snapped in either. You can also tell it is lower quality than iRobot's battery. The battery contacts are flimsy etc..

Works like the manufacturer's battery
I bought this battery for my Scooba after the warranty expired, because I figured that it would probably invalidate the warranty. This battery works as advertised.

I have only one issue -- it doesn't seat quite as well as the original battery, and it might be very slighty larger. Be extra careful when you install it. I wasn't, and the battery got stuck in the Scooba tank; it was hard to open the Scooba and get it straightened out. But no problems since then.

iRobot Roomba 400 Series Replenish Kit

cheaper at iRobot.com
Check the iRobot website before you buy Roomba accessories. They charge $29.99 for the maintenance pack, which is 2 brushes, 3 filters and a side brush. Exact same thing

Great
My wife and I have 400 series and 500 series Roomba's which we love. They work great and have been very reliable for years and I believe that is partially due to keeping them clean. After every use my wife takes them apart and blows out all the parts with an air hose. We bought these kits so that she can just put clean replacement parts back in and wash the dirty parts later. This may seem like overkill but it works for us.

400 series is 4000 series also
Best maintenance kit for a 4000 series roomba out there. Just be careful you don't lose the little yellow clips on one end of the brushes when you change them. They are very small. The filters are great and better deal is you get 3! And the little edge cleaner you can pull the whole metal clip out after you unscrew it to get all the debris off of it better. Casino187 was my seller and had fast shipping and excellent customer support. Will be buying more of these as needed. And only from Casino!

iRobot Roomba 530 Vacuum Cleaner Accessory Kit Roomba 500 Series Accessory Kit - Includes 3 Side Brushes & 3 Filters

Product Good, Packaging Iffy
Bought these because they were cheaper than from the iRobot store, exact same items as far as I can tell, but they just came stuffed into a padded envelope. I know the save money by not having custom packaging made for them, but seemed kind of strange. Product works great!
