Beware of stiff brushes
The filters are fine. However the 6 prong brushes are so stiff that my Roomba cannot transition from hardwood to rug anymore. The brushes get caught underneath the rug every time. This did not happen with the flexible 3-prong brushes that originally came with my Roomba. I am disappointed with my purchase.
You get what you pay for
The 6-legged brushes did a better job than the iRobot brush on bare, hard floors but everything else about them was worse. It provided so much resistance against the brush motor while the Roomba was on carpet that it most often wouldn't turn at all. It also constantly would pick up the edges of our rugs and prevent the Roomba from ever cleaning them unless we picked it up and put it on the rugs ourselves, something that has never happened with the stock brush.
The filters seem to work okay but they are noticeably more difficult to remove. If you are really trying to save a couple bucks and don't have any carpet or rugs in your house then this kit may well work for you. If you have anything besides hard floors, go get the genuine parts.
good quality
Side brushes actually have 6 brushes, works better than stock that only has 3. Filters seem like they work good, looks like they catch alot of dust. Good price.
