  Roomba 500 Series Side Brush, 3-Pack

  Kitchen (iRobot)
  

  Rating (57 reviews):

  (3.6/5)

  

  It's official: Less is More

  Like most reviewers here, I love my Roomba 550 (to the extent that a man can love a Horseshoe Crab, that is), but feel disgusted by the poor durability of the spinning side brush. The first 'arm' of the side brush broke off after just two weeks of use. Within two months, my Roomba was completely 'armless'. So I ordered this 3-pack one month ago.The new brush has only three 'arms' compared to six in the original design. This has alarmed some reviewers, who thought they have received counterfeit replacement parts. But according to the official iRobot web site, the three-arm version is indeed the new design. I was initially skeptical of whether three arms are better than six in terms of durability. But so far the new brush seems to be working just fine. At least there is no sign of any arms breaking off... 3/5 NLee the Engineer (Nashua, NH) - See all my reviews, December 2, 2008

  Works on the older Roombas too!

  I have the older Roomba Scheduler and also a Discovery and those come with the two brush shorter side brushes, not this one which has three brushes on the rotator. The brushes are a bit longer in this product which I thought might be a problem with the placement of it so close to the wheel, but it appears the old brush was also smacking up against the wheel anyway. If it was a problem I would simply trim the bristles a bit, but didn't have to.These little things seem to make my Roombas work even better than before even if they were not intended to be used on the older models! 5/5 Amery Priestman - See all my reviews, April 11, 2010

  A necessary replacement (3 arms good, 5 arms bad)

  Anyone remembers Orwell's Animal Farm? :)))Like all good things in life, the helicopter Roomba brushes only last for so long. A time comes when they need to be replaced. In our case, there was in fact a transition period where our 5-arm helicopter became a 4-arm, then a 3-arm so we got the replacements. They were 3-arm brushes :). In all fairness, I can't say if they perform better or worse than the original, I'm just happy that our Roombas (got 2) are complete again in the way their maker wishes them to be.From a prospective buyer's point of view, it's probably important to testify that the replacements do work. They do mount quite nicely to replace the old-style and the Roomba does not seem to mind. 3/5 A. Dent "Aragorn" (Minas Anor, GD) - See all my reviews, March 10, 2009

  Replacement Battery for Roomba

  Bought this battery as the most inexpensive replacement for our Roomba. Put it in, charged it up and it works great. Word of warning to Roomba owners...never let it sit off the charger. Allowing it to completely discharge can kill the battery completely. We went on vacation and unplugged it then didn't recharge for a while and it just died.

  There's not much to it

  This is a pretty simple product, not much could go wrong with it. I got it and yes installing new filters do make your roomba work better. I also recommend some of the replacement brushes if you feel your roomba isn't like it used to be. You don't have to change sweeper bags on this thing but it does need things to be replaced sometimes. 5/5 Anthony J. Lambos (Canton, Ohio) - See all my reviews, April 6, 2008

  Use canned air to make them last.

  Roomba owners know that a fresh filter captures more dust than an old one. If you haven't changed your filter in a while, you are really hampering the cleaning potential of your little robot helper. This is a good price and certainly much better than buying from irobot directly. I make my filters last much longer by taking them outside and using canned air to blast them "clean". It only takes about 5 seconds and makes them almost as good as new. I do this about 4 times (once a month) before I finally replace them. 4/5 Work of Life (Miami, Florida USA) - See all my reviews, February 20, 2009

  These are not compatible with Roomba 560 with the blue filters

  I thought that these filters were compatible with my Roomba 560 because it said "500 series compatible" and I figured that mine fell into that category. Wrong. These yellow ones are flat and the return policy is "no returns" basically so that's money down the drain. 1/5 0, November 1, 2010

  Defective Battery - Review contains updates re customer service and replacement battery

  Very disappointed in this product. They describe this as an iRobot battery, and even put a picture of the iRobot battery in the product listing, however, and this should have been obvious from the price, this is NOT an iRobot battery! Now, I'm not an iRobot snob, and I would be perfectly happy with a generic replacement battery, IF IT WORKED! It holds juice, and it will power the Roomba, but upon docking with the home base, I get a one red blink error light (battery problem) and a fast red blink on the charge indicator light (never turns green after charging). I thought this could have been due to the Roomba forcing a deep recharge (16 hour cycle), but I left the Roomba on the home base for 24 hours, took it off, and the Roomba was still indicating it had no charge. I did a reset of the Roomba software (hold down the "spot" and "dock" buttons at the same time for 10 seconds), and only then did the indicator light turn green. As soon as I placed it back on the homebase however, the... 1/5 Jason L. Pyrz (Naperville, IL) - See all my reviews, March 22, 2009

  Generic battery but works well

  There seems to be a variety of experiences with this battery, and I wanted to relate my experience with purchasing it.I was shipped a generic Roomba 500 battery by "Allergy Be Gone". I think unless you buy directly from Amazon (for about 2x the price), this is what you will get. When I installed the battery, I found that it was keyed so you could only install it in one direction - it wasn't possible to install the battery backwards. It was really easy to install, requiring only a Philips head screwdriver. My Roomba then charged up in a very short period of time, and it now runs for 2+ hours. The battery charges fine using either the charging station or when plugged in directly.I think "Allergy Be Gone" sells a higher quality battery than "Battery Superstore" sells. Reviews that mention Battery Superstore seem to be lower than other sellers, so I would recommend being careful about who you buy this from.Overall, I am very pleased with this... 5/5 Brian D.

  BEWARE OF BATTERY WAREHOUSE, THEY ARE SELLING GENERIC BATTERIES!

  I was a little skeptical when I saw that Battery Warehouse was selling this battery for $41, when even Amazon.com is selling it for $63.47, and some vendors sell it for as much $90, but I went ahead and took a chance with Battery Warehouse on the battery.What a mistake that was. When I received my battery and opened it up, I immediately noticed that the sticker indicating that the battery was indeed iRobot genuine was missing. I called Battery Warehouse to inquire if this was a real iRobot battery, and they assured me that it was, but I still had second thoughts about it.After a call to iRobot, we determined that this was in fact a generic battery that was NOT made by iRobot. I was also told that using this battery in my Roomba would void my warranty!Battery Warehouse refused to allow me to return this, so I had to get Amazon to give me an A2Z refund on it.

  They are just filters...

  If you have a Roomba, you will need to replace the filter every month or so. The little robot vacuum appears to be very good at picking up even microscopic pieces of grit, and the filter helps it keep its suction.

  Still going strong in my Roomba 550 after 3 months

  The original battery pack in my Roomba 550 was able to run the vacuum for about two hours initially. After the first year, its run time has dropped to about one hour. It deteriorated quickly during the next 6 months, to the point that the vacuum can only run for 3-4 minutes before the dreaded 'I-am-dying' beep. I tried everything to revive the battery, including removing the pack and deep-discharging/charging it manually. Finally, I concluded that the battery has developed high internal resistance and cannot be rescued. That's why I ordered this item () last November.There were several similar products that showed up when I searched for 'Roomba 500 replacement battery' on Amazon.

  Good battery, not a fake copy

  I'm always wary of 3rd party batteries, but when I got this one 2.4 years ago, I tested it and got a runtime of 2.5h on my roomba, which was longer than the stock battery that only gave 2h.Now, after a bit over 2 years, it's only giving me 30-60mn depending on whether I do a deep cycle charge before using it. In other words, the battery is not doing well.But 2 years is all one should expect from such batteries (including the stock ones), and they were much cheaper than stock, so they're a must buy.Thank you to HQRP for selling an honest product. 5/5 M.

  A Hard to Find Tool

  You don't find the triangle-head security screws this fits often. Mainly in some toys, fast-food premiums, and electronic devices. But when you want to remove one, especially when it's deeply recessed inside a molded socket, it's somewhere between difficult and impossible to do without the right tool. I've been looking for a proper screwdriver in this style for a long time without success when I stumbled on this one.It isn't fancy, and you might even say it feels a little cheap, but you're not tightening lug-nuts on a truck here. You're inserting and removing small screws usually sunk into soft plastic, and it works great for its intended purpose.If your intended purpose is to disassemble fast food toys (for modification, scrounging parts for projects, or replacement of batteries) be aware that some are not only held together with screws, they're glued or sonic welded as well.

  Beware of Metapo

  My Metapo Scooba battery performed well until two weeks before the warranty expired, when it died. I contacted Metapo by phone and they were VERY reluctant to take any action. First they indicated that I should wait two weeks and file a claim under the extended warranty that I had purchased. I said no, I had already contacted the extended warranty company and they said that it was Metapo's responsibility. Then Metapo argued about the actual length of the warranty. Finally they wanted copies of my purchase receipt and original warranty. I immediately emailed these documents to them. A month has passed and I've never heard from them again. If you buy the battery, you can expect to have to buy another one when it quits because if my experience is any indication of the integrity of this company, there will be no manufacturer support for any problems that you may have. 2/5 J.

  Great Substitute

  We have owned our Scooba for three years and absolutely love our Scooba. Even though I love my Scooba I hate the battery because of its short life and how expensive it is to replace.

I have had the battery for almost 5 months and it is still working great.One issue that I have seen raised related to this battery which I think may be in error is related to its larger size which allegedly causes Scooba to not seal properly causing Scooba to not suck up the water from the floor.

I knew that the Logitech remotes would, but I was hessitant to buy one because of the bad reviews that other harmony's have gotten. I haven't had this remote a long time but so far I've had no trouble.The 510 not only operates both my DVD and my Blu-Ray independently, but has the ability to control all of the buttons that are on the original remotes. Thus making it so I don't have to go looking for my original remotes because I might find my self needing a key that this one won't perform. I'm now able to store away my other remotes.Set up was actually easier than expected but still took a while. This is my fault. If you know how you want things set up it's fast and easy.

  Good Looking, Affordable, and programs easily:This remote is sleek looking, though it is hard to tell from the pictures. It fits very nicely in the hand and works as advertised. The programming is the easiest it has ever been. All you need is your component model numbers and which input your devices are connected to, the software will do the rest. All you do is answer questions and the software guides you through the programming. I bought and programmed 2 harmony remotes; Harmony One (6 components) and this 510 (3 components). The programming software worked flawlessly each time. Unless you are completely clueless about your system, you should be able to program this, no problem.
