Scooter is our Roomba 650 vacuum. He is part of the family, and comes out sometimes to cuddle with our feet. He cleans up after us, and generally makes our lives more pleasant. So, imagine our distress when, after 7 years of living in our home, he was showing signs of not being able to carry on. This review goes beyond the parts in this kit, but I was ready to put Scooter out to pasture. He was getting stuck everywhere. His dust bin was nearly empty after running. He was making a lot of rude noises. I literally had a new vacuum in my shopping cart, when I made the decision to see if I could revitalize him. Armed with this kit, I took Scooter completely apart, cleaned every component thoroughly, made sure all of his sensors were clean, and put him together with new brushes and filter. He is working great! He has not gotten stuck since, his dust bin is convincingly full, and he is able to pick up larger particles. This simple kit saved me $300! Welcome back, Scooter!
After reading a few of the previous comments, I had to offer my experiences for consideration.
1 - Accessory kit arrived in 2 days from ordering - thank you Prime.
2 - Kit was neatly (and snuggly) packed in a sturdy small box which was tape sealed on 3 sides and a band (and a bow) around the box.
3 - All accessories were in excellent shape and looked exactly like my originals.
4 - Tested the accessories for fit in my Roomba 620. All fit perfectly.
5 - Price was outstanding for this kit.
I am perfectly happy in choosing these replacement accessories.
Price good but parts did have some issues. The corner brushes were not correctly shaped and didn't work at all with area rugs at first (would get stuck under rugs constantly). Was advised to put them in hot water to try to reshape, which I did and then weighted them down to hold flatter shape. (needed VERY hot water for it to work) That worked and seems to have solved that issue. (all three of them had this problem) The round brush cleaner works well but it did crack/break within a couple weeks of use. I put a strip of duct tape around it and that solved that issue and it's still working well. If purchased again I'd put the tape on before ever using it. The rotating brush and beater bar had no problems and work well. The filters all needed to have their foam sealing tape removed and placed where belongs which was a big hassle to do but seems to work after doing it. Would not recommend using without fixing that issue first though. Update: Amyhouse surprised me and offered to send me 5 more filters after I gave my first review. They arrived along with another 3 prong side brush and a 6 prong sidebrush (which I didn't know was made and haven't tried using yet). I do have to do the heat treatment on them before using them, as I did on the others, as they are very bowl shaped. The new filters have better placed foam than the first ones so only had to move the lower corners before they were good to use. Much easier to fix than the first ones.
We received two sets of these accessory kits, one for our Roomba and one for the Roomba 671 that we purchased for our son on Prime day. We replaced the main brush, the flexible brush, the edge cleaning brush and the filter on our Roomba. The parts were easy to install. Our Roomba cleans better since we replaced these parts with the ones received in the Accessory kit. It collects more dirt and fluffs the carpet up more. Our little Roomba is rejuvenated!!
Edited: Response to consumer comment won't post so here's my response:
Yes! This is a good kit and the parts fit the 671 series which is similar to our 630 model, but with enhanced functions: connectivity to Alexa using phone AP or the Dot to start it, schedule it, obtain information regarding it, etc. Our son asked Alexa where it was once, and "she" told him that it was charging on the docking station! Also, the 671 does have dirt detect (ability to circle on a dirty spot after detecting the need). One of the reviews on some site said that the 671 does not have this but the reviewer was wrong. You can schedule a cleaning by date and time. Also, the AP can notify the number of dirt detect cycles, the start and times of cleaning, and while in use can give the battery-life status. Well worth the money, as is this accessory kit. Our 630 model was purchased July 2014 and still works well (especially since we added the replacement parts from this accessory kit). I don't know anything about the 700's to 900 models, but can assure you that the 600's are great, and that it's smart to purchase one of these accessory kits if you have a Roomba 671, or plan to buy one.
I haven't noticed any difference in operation with these non-mfgr replacement parts. In fact, the roller brush seems to work better than the original that came with the vacuum...picks up far more stray cat hair.
I will consider that it's possible the roller may be clinging a little too well to the hair, so that it's getting stuck and not making it into the vacuum waste receptacle, but think that's just splitting, er, hairs. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

I noticed my iRobot was not cleaning well and realized that I had gone way too long without replacing the parts. So, loving how quick Amazon is, I ordered these. They are great quality, and the little cleaning tools are super handy. The round one to get in & around the side cleaning part is genius. I was utterly amazed at how much better my little roomba performed after replacing these.
Update: 2 months in & still extremely pleased.
After much research between makers & models, bought the 650 on a hunch that wife would like it enough to use once in a while, well its used religiously every weekend to help clean the house. It does work very well and we both use it. We don't have cats or dogs to worry about so can't comment on picking up fur. The cleaning is very easy but you must do it or you lose suction power and the hepa filter functionality. We also clean the rotating ball and its recessed sensor, and the roller ends which clog constantly with hair. But its simple to do and hopefully makes the unit last longer. Have stopped using the "hidden" wall or virtual wall sensor that keeps Roomba enclosed, I think it stopped working. Have tried new batteries, but Roomba ignores it. Very please, so much we bought the Roomba wet/mopping robot, but that doesn't work as well. and its back in the closet, oh well. Have bought replacement pieces and have started to install them after a year of use, very good deals are on the Amazon website for these parts.We have the base controller/recharger unit hidden away in the corner of the bedroom so the unit doesn't find it but we just pick up Roomba & set it in front, it does the rest. Great purchase, would recommend to anyone.
I put these new brushes on my Roomba 645 and could not believe how much dirt and hair they picked up. I did not think the old (original) brushes were too bad, though the beater brush had some tearing, they were still picking up quite a bit of dust and dirt. If your brushes are more than a year old I think you will find replacing them with these brushes will make a difference in your Roomba's performance.
These seem to be equal in quality with the OEM parts that came with the Roomba. They fit perfectly and seem to do as good as or a better job than the original brushes.
As a pet owner and female with lots of long hair, my Roomba's brushes have taken quite a beating after 6 months of daily use. The filter was also DISGUSTING, and in dire need of replacement (especially because I have asthma/allergies). The brushes were SO easy to replace, and I love the included brush cleaner (that didn't come with my Roomba to begin with). I'm glad to also have additional filters to start replacing those at least monthly. I will definitely buy these brushes again (in 6 months, if not sooner).
After having my roomba for a few years, I noticed that although it leaves awesome lines in the carpeting, it wasn't picking up quite the way it used to. Despite cleaning it regularly, I was dis-satisfied with the results but this little packet really helped!! Cleaning the brushes & rollers is one thing, but replacing them was like getting a brand new roomba! I really like how all of these things were packaged together because I initially only sought out the replacement brush. I'd completely forgotten about the comb/cleaner thingy and realized I underestimated how much it really does help! I found this replacement package to be just what the doctor ordered for my roomba!
