iRobot Roomba 560 - AeroVac Vacuum Cleaner Accessory Kit Roomba 500, 600 Series Accessory Kit - Includes: Filter, Side Brush, Beater Brush, Bristle Brush



Doesn't work as well as IRobot parts
I didn't have any problems receiving the parts, everything arrived when expected. The parts appeared to fit the unit with no issues other than the little spinner brush was a little tight getting onto the shaft, but moved freely once it was on. The brushes appeared to fit perfectly into the unit and everything looked fine. We immediately noticed that as soon as we installed the new brushes and filter, the amount of dirt the unit picked up was probably about 1/4 of what it normally picked up. We ran the unit for about a week with the new brushes and filter and no change. I cannot explain what the difference is, but our unit went from doing a great job to not so good. It was actually working better with the old worn out brushes and dirty filter than it did with the new ones installed. I called support at Certified Battery and asked them what might be going, they couldn't tell me, but did offer to let me return the equipment.

This unit is run every day and is very...

the side brushes are too long
My irobot is 3 years old and still going strong, you must clean it completeley every month take it apart and remove all hair dust and danden.
The side brushes in this kit were a little to long i had to trim them to make it wirk correctley.
I love my Irobot Roomba 670 for pets hair it is the best

Exactly what I expected.
Exactly what I expected. The items arrived in time. I need to prove the articles to see how they work.

Roomba iRobot RED Cordless Robotic Vacuum Cleaner 4100



It's great! But I feel that way because I'm smart enough to know what to expect from it
Roomba Red does not clean a room nearly as fast as when you use a regular vacuum. ButI don't care how long it takes because I put it in a room right before I leave the house and when I come back the floor in that room is clean. Then I charge it and clean the next room the next time I leave the house.

I got the optional wall hanger and fast charger from IRobot.com and I can recharge it in 3 hours and clean two rooms or more in a day.

It excells at picking up cat hair and dirt from both our hardwood floors and area rugs. It is also GREAT for cleaning under beds and some furniture such as our baby's crib.

You do have to clean the rollers every few weeks or they get too wrapped up with fur, strands of string, etc. It tells you this right in the manual, so it shouldn't shock anyone.

We kept our uber-powerful Hoover Windtunnel upright for times when we need to clean a room faster and/or need to use the hose attachement for corners, sofas,...

Think!!!! I love people that make comments when they don't own one.
This item is a great item and well worth the money. We have a family of four with little kids and 2 dogs. The Roomba cleans our floors daily and does a great job. I would recommend this to anyone. I fully expect to get between 1 and 2 years out of my Roomba. After mine dies, I will buy another one (worth the $150.00/$99.00(re-manufactured) every two years)

My advice would be to buy the Red and then buy the home base charger. The Discovery models offer a "MAX" Clean feature that I never use (it basically forces the unit to fully discharge the battery, getting a few more minutes of cleaning). Amazon has remanufactured units for $99.00 with a 90 day warranty. Buy it with AMEX and they will double the warranty. Good Luck!!!

Edit: IT DOES work on carpets, medium or low pile. If you own shag (70's style) you may have a problem. My Roomba goes from hardwood to medium pile carpet (most carpet is medium) and back with no problems. Cover the front wheel with...

I love my Roomba!
After the initial charge, the Roomba cleaned 4 rooms of my house on one charge. When it was done, the dust bin was pretty full, but still had a bit of room. This was impressive to me b/c it got under the sofas, beds, and dresser which had not been swept under in a long while. It picked up all of the dust and dog hair from my wood floors. I've been using it for a week now and my floors stay so much cleaner for much longer than if I just swept them. After that initial cleaning, I now set it to do a room a day. It's wonderful!

Shark V1930 Vacuum Cleaner Battery 7.2V Ni-MH 2500mAh - Replacement For Shark X1725QN Battery - For Shark Vacuum Cleaner



Great - Holds a Charge Very Well
My old battery would die out after maybe 10 minutes - this after just charging it. I have used the new battery for weeks after the inital charge with no reacharge needed yet!
