High-Quality BBT BAMBOOST Rubber Replacement Brushes for iRobot Roomba i7 i7+ E5 E6 E7 Vacuum Cleaner - 2 Set Review

These brushes broke at the tips in the rumba, melted in the hole and I had to buy a whole new brush block for the robot. It has cost me more than just sticking with real brushes.

delivered and installed on 08/10/2020, dark green roller broken after 6 weeks. Installed 2 Sep 27 and already broken. So they last about 5 weeks on average. Don't buy them, they are a waste of money and they are not designed to last as long as they should. Very bad quality and complete junk.

Although inexpensive, the rotors in this kit are very noisy. Upon closer inspection, I found numerous imperfections on the dark green rotor that affect the balance wheel. I am returning the whole set and ordering genuine parts from iRobot. Given the price of these machines, don't skimp on spare parts.

So my Rumba (assistant) needed new rollers and it was a lot cheaper than the OEM and so far they work exactly the same if not better. I now change my filter monthly and don't feel like throwing money away as they are so much cheaper. I will definitely order again. Too bad they don't have them when subscribing and saving, otherwise I won't get them automatically.

Both sets had a gray part that melted, making the brush a fire hazard. I first discovered this after smelling hot/burning plastic coming out of my robot vacuum while it was running. Took everything apart to find the problem and saw that the end of the first set had melted. I hoped it was coincidence and tried the second set. This set did the same. Very creepy! I'm so glad I don't do this while I'm away from home!

When I put these reels in my Roomba, it rumbled, clicked and barely lifted anything off the floor. I opened up Roomba to see if the rollers were misaligned, but they were - there wasn't debris inside Roomba that was making that noise or slowing down performance. It didn't work properly until I put the old Roomba brushes back in, although they were a bit torn. They still worked better with those junk reels.

Issue with these product records randomly switching between different Chinese manufacturers. The one we received is NOT compatible with i7 Roomba. One of the brushes should have a square connector and the other hexagonal. (Also in the pictures). The set we received had four brushes, all with hex connectors. I really wish it was easier to find a genuine replacement brush or if there was a single manufacturer product page so you know what you are actually getting.
