Great filters and brushes, regular rollers

Upgrade after 5 months of use - their lifespan is much shorter compared to OEM. This product recommends replacing the side brush and rollers every 2-3 months. Turns out that was the exact lifespan for her. Although the side brush had to be replaced after a month, there were 3 of them, so no problems. OEM - recommends replacing side brushes and rollers every 6-12 months, filters every 2 months. The OEM rollers have worked great for me for a good year and I think I replaced the side brush after about 6 months or so although it could have lasted longer. Of course, the filter needs to be replaced more often. Bottom line: Buy a $50 OEM replacement kit and an additional filter kit from other manufacturers (you can buy a dozen for less than $20) and get a year's discount on average cleaning conditions. , or buy this set for $15 and get 3 months usage. The total cost of maintenance is about the same, but more when buying such waste. Leave 4 stars because the company claims the product life up front and the product actually works, but the current cost compared to OEM plus additional waste doesn't work. Don't make this a smart purchase IMO. Original review: The price is great and the filters and brushes are perfect. The wheels also fit my 860 well, but when you hold them in your hands you can tell that the rubber isn't as thick and the quality feels cheaper. Given the price, I might end up replacing them a little more often, although we'll have to see which one is the most cost-effective in the long run.
