This set isn't cheap, but it's worth it. I've got a Roomba 565, which I usually love, but the amount of cleaning the device itself requires is sometimes frustrating. 'Course, if I didn't have 4 cats, it might be less... ;) This set helps releve that frustration somewhat. This set comes with 3 filters that are basically identical to what came with the Roomba itself, plus one of the little spinning brushes that helps pull stuff out from corners and the wall (interestingly, with only 3 brushes to it instead of the 5 or 6 the original had), plus a beater bar and brush set. But the real gem here is the little red plastic brush cleaner. I don't know if this ships with the newer Roombas or not, but it should - this little thing is great. What you do with it is run the large brush through it and it strips all the fur, string, threads, etc. that get caught in the brush out and allows them to be thrown away all in one clump. No more picking all that stuff out of the brush by hand! Faster, better, and easier. Additionally, the brushes seem to be a better quality and do a slightly better job than the set that came with the Roomba - I'd imagine the folks at iRobot are always making design tweaks to things and it shows.

This item has worked as stated for cleaning the Roomba 500 brushes.It seems to be more difficult to get the brushes out than to clean them.
I gave this one two stars since they actually do save you 45 pennies in the end, but the MSRP on the iRobot site is 39.99 (+ $9.95 shipping), NOT 59.99.
So you need filters for your Roomba...well, here they are and they're fairly cheaper than iRobot themselves from time to time.Not really much to say...the filters work...trap a lot of dust. Get 'em here while you're shopping for other stuff as well and toss 'em in the closet so you won't be caught without one when you need it.
What more can I say? It's the right part for many of the Hoover SteamVacs and works fine. My order came with the cup/cap and tank handle as well--I think Hoover sometimes sells the cup/cap and handle separately.
