On the fence like I was? Read this.
Okay, so, your Roomba rollers split, and you're looking for new replacements. You've checked the price on a new kit from the manufacturer and scoffed at the price. You've found this listing, you've looked at others, read the reviews (scary), trying to figure out if it's worth it to buy the "cheap" aftermarket parts, right?Well, that was me, and I'm here to tell you, everything you've read about these being LOUD, not fitting properly, and everything else, is 100% true. Now, I'm going to tell you how to make the most of this purchase, because you probably will after reading this.Let's assume you haven't thrown away your old broken rollers yet. When these arrive, and you swap them out, give them a test run around the house, they will be loud, and very clanky. Don't trust me? Put them in. Now, after you've done that, take them out.You'll notice if you side-by-side compare these two sets of rollers, the manufacturer ones are about 1/4" longer than these ones are. This is what is causing that god awful sound. What you need to do, is use the hard plastic roller carriage from the manufacturer and add the new cheap silicone rollers you bought from this listing, and all your worries will be over.To do this, you can slide the rolls off the carriage and make the swap. They are hard to pull off, but give it a yank, it'll come off. If your old ones are stuck, cut em off, they are trash anyways. Slide the new rollers onto the manufacturer carriage and be sure to add the end pieces back in and you're done. Put your newly crafted Frankenstein rollers into your machine.So, would I buy these cheap rollers again? Absolutely. Am I disappointed it's not a direct fit? Absolutely. That's why I'm ranking this a 3-star cause it's a really poor execution on the carriage, but the silicone rollers are all i need so I'm happy to pay much, much less, for these and make the swap myself. Would be less wasteful and easier for me if they just sold the rollers, but i'll get what I get. Have a great day.

Don’t throw away original box pieces!
Love the value of this package but I had the issue a lot of people seem to have. The noise after replacing the green wheels! Holy moly. This thing is loud enough already. My husband hates it lol but he would rather Wall-E do the sweeping than him. But once I replaced the wheels I noticed immediately how loud it was. I got on here to read the reviews and saw it was a common theme. It’s like a shuddering noise. Like something wasn’t installed right. So I double checked it all again. I saw a review of someone saying they replaced the grey circle shaped end pieces that go on the ends of the green rollers. I decided to take the grey pieces off my old rollers that came with the original pieces in the box when I got the machine and put them on the new rollers. It worked! Wall-E sounds like his old self again. I’ll just end up doing that from now on until I can find some rollers that don’t change the noise level. Hope it works for you too!

Better performance
I kinda like doing small machine repair and upkeep so I didn't mind checking my Roomba's undercarriage more often than recommended. Taking the rollers off and clearing hair/debris from any and all moving parts isn't hard to do and it keeps the unit working efficiently. After about 8 months of use I noticed the rollers were breaking down... the rubber material was cracking or getting cut by hair that wrapped around it. Eventually, the deteriorating rollers seemed to invite hair wrap-around issues after every use. I was about to buy new rollers from the device's official store but then decided to give these knock-offs a try since they were so cheap on Amazon and had such good ratings. I was not disappointed!! These new rollers are stronger (material-wise) and just do a better job picking up dust and whatever is on the floor. With the old rollers I would sometimes do two cleanings in one day and was always puzzled that the bin was just as full after the second run. With these new rollers the bin is full on the first run and almost empty on a same-day second run... that says all you need to know.Oh, and for the reviewer that complained about these rollers apparently making the unit "louder" compared to the factory rollers... omg, give me a break. It's a frickin' vacuum cleaner! If it picks up dirt better I'd be okay with replacement parts being 10x louder. Geeze. Fwiw, I can't tell that they're louder.

Exactly like the originals, easy replacement parts
I received these items very quickly and they are exactly what we needed. Our rollers became mangled with all the hair that got wrapped around the originals. So far so good with these new ones! The little brush also came in handy for cleaning out the small areas. I would highly recommend this product for regular maintenance of your roomba. I plan to buy this exact set from this buyer at some point in the future! Thanks for a great product!

Kit well made, but noisy rubber brushes.
I purchased replacement 9 Pack Replacement Parts for iRobot, and all the parts seem to be very well made and fit well.But I am having trouble with the Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes. When I installed the set of rubber brushes the vacuum is very loud and noisy when it runs. It makes a shutter or vibrating noise especially when running on hard wood floors. I have run the rubber brushes in my vacuum for several weeks now, and it is getting better (less noisy) but still noisy. When I put the original iRobot rubber brushes back in, it is quite again. I have carefully cleaned the vacuum of all hair etc. I have not noticed this aftermarket kit leaving any marks or anything on the floor or walls. The main complaint is the odd shuttering noises the rubber brushes make. If you run the vacuum when you are gone, you may not care. I think I may notice the vacuum not navigating or being able to climb over a rug's edge as well as the original brushes, but I am not completely sure on that.

Authentic spare for Roomba E5
Product reached much ahead of the scheduled time. Found the package intact. Rollers were good and brushed and filters too. Replaced immediately and cleaned with roomba E5. Very good and satisfied with the purchase.
