Rating:  - Good to have on hand
We received only one side brush with our Roomba, so this 3-pack is great to have on hand.We set our Roomba to run on a daily basis (black dog, white carpeting!) so it's nice to have the spare brushes and things ready to go if one gets snagged or broken.We have small kids so sometimes toys are left out by accident and can tear the 'arms' on these brushes.
I love my Roomba and am glad that these spare parts are available seperately and cheaply!
Rating:  - Poorly designed yet needed accessory
First I would like to state that I am an embedded systems design engineer and must say that iRobot did their homework and job on the Roomba itself, but seem to have disregarded this level of craftsmanship when it came to the all-too-necessary side brushes.Mine, like everyone else has reported, breaks off in a matter of months.Regardless of whether this is a design flaw or a means for recurring profit, it matters not.It has caused me to resort to drastic measures which I have outlined below: ...

Rating:  - Also three versus five.
Beware; either United Vacuum is shipping the wrong item or iRobot is no longer manufacturing the five-pronged brushes, but like the September 30, 2008 customer, I also just received the 3-pronged brushes instead of the ones pictured here.

I just don't want to waste my life replacing badly-designed parts and ... Read More
Rating: - three-pronged replacements instead of five-pronged
I've had my Roomba for just over six months, and have resigned myself to frequent replacements of the side brush as the prongs break off with use.However, this time when I ordered replacement brushes, what I received (from United Vacuum) were three-pronged side brushes instead of the five-pronged brushes that came with the original Roomba as well as my earlier replacement packs (and which are pictured on the page I'm looking at now).With the breakage issues that I've already experienced, this is ...

Rating: - irobot: practicing the art of obsolescence since 2001
Irobot figured out that if they make these things break apart like peanut butter brickle they can sell TWICE AS MANY!good for them, bad for us.These things are awful and the arms snap off after about two days of use.I went ahead and painted on some resin to one of them and it's lasted about two months!
