Also three versus five. October 1, 2008

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. Aside from this annoying bit of Ford Pinto technology, however, the Roomba is a fairly wonderful little item, especially if you feel like you're wasting your life vacuuming the "traditional way." I just don't want to waste my life replacing badly-designed parts and posting negative reviews on amazon.com.

iRobot, please spend a little more time on your domestic carpet/floor research and development and a little less on your genuinely disturbing weapons technology! Does the U.S. Army have to send for replacement parts as often as we do?

three-pronged replacements instead of five-pronged October 1, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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 unacceptable. A three-pronged brush will become unuseable even faster than the five-pronged original. These are getting shipped straight back for a refund.

irobot: practicing the art of obsolescence since 2001 September 27, 2008
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!

Roomba, GREAT, Side Brush - not so much! September 25, 2008
Like others here, I love my Roomba and the job it does. However, it lost one arm on the side brush early on (1 month in). I ignored it thinking it was a fluke and it kept cleaning. However, we're into month 2 and it's lost another arm so I guess it's time to order a replacement. I was surprised at the amazon price for a pack of 3 so I went to shopping.com and typed in "Roomba side brush". It gave me the listing of site that sells 3 for $14.95. So my recommendation is to save yourself the $5 by shopping elsewhere!

A necessary, but poorly manufactured product August 3, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I've been using the Roomba for about six months and the side brush has falled apart so often I'm looking for my fourth brush already. And now I'm seeing prices for $39.95 for a package of three. I've purchased them for $14.95 elsewhere, so I'm feeling twice as ripped off now. How is it possible for Amazon to sell a product for more than twice what others sell it for?
