Is it original genuine brushes from iRobot? Is Beater Brush made from rubber or from silicone? Thanks

To guarantee that you are getting the official iRobot accessory and not the knock-offs that some reviewers mentioned, you must select Amazon as the seller. If you select another seller you run the risk of receiving the knock-offs.

The beater is the flimsier silicon rather than the stiffer rubber on the authentic. Very sure that at least portions of this kit are counterfeit. This is evident in the slight color and craftsmanship difference between this and the authentic. However, the cleaner is branded "iRobot." Construction is different and set more closely matches an acknowledged aftermarket set I have. Everything looks to be acceptable replacments, except the beater is more flimsy.

Yes, it's genuine from irobot.i don't know how to tell the difference between rubber and silicone. It feels the same as the item that came with the original machine. I have used it for for months now, and I have not noticed any defect, yet. I vacuum daily.

The original brushes seem to be rubber. I have ordered replacement brushes from Amazon with no issues.

The brushes and all parts are genuine iRobot products, and the product name is iRobot 700 Series HEPA Replenishment Kit for Roomba Robotic Vacuum Cleaner ....by iRobot

All the parts ordered were original and they fit well. However, I am not sure if the beater brush is rubber or silicone (it matches the factory installed one). The parts work perfectly and we're very satisfied with them.

The brushes are genuine iRobot products. They fit and work perfectly. The beater brush feels like rubber - it's pliable but sturdy. I have been very satisfied with these replacement parts.

I'm not sure what you mean by original. However, they are really soft. And, I think as a beginner makeup brush set they are really good. They are also pretty light weight. I really liked them as my first brush set, and they are easy to clean as well.

I don't know actually. Is there a market for rip-offs? When you get the brush, it comes in the same style box they've used all along. You can tell by the quality it's a genuine brush. High quality. I love this brush. I also have the soft bristle version for my young girls and they actually won't let me brush their hair with anything else. I'm sure it'll be fine buying from a verified Amazon seller.

I believe it is silicone, but I like it much better than Silat. It is as thin as paper, but reusable and much more slippery

From my perspective, it is exactly like the original brush. It has the "inside" ring of bristles that oscillates for the vibration just like the brush it came with.

I don't know, But the original brush lasted about a month and the replacement brush has been on the roomba for over 4 months and shows no sign of being worn out and still haveb5 more brushes to go. I reccomend this product

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have never had the need to use any kind of cleaner when using this brush/rubber tip. It works so well getting the dirt/dust etc off. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I ordered my brushes a month ago. The words are still visible like new on the brush and I use them almost everyday. The black kit that the brushes came in should have a Real Techniques tag on it which means the kit is legit . I do not take my brushes out of the kit unless I'm using them then I place them back in. Nevertheless, the words should not be rubbing off especially if you had them for less than a year.

I'm not sure what bristles are made of, but they are soft. I like mine. I don't use the other attachments, just the brush one and I love it.

The bristles are made of very thin plastic. I have had the brush for a year and the bristles have not even come close to melting. The bristles do not have nubby tips at the ends. I love this brush! The best brush I have ever had,. The brush head is not solid, it has great air flow through it. Dries my hair faster and makes it so smooth!

I couldn't find it anywhere online, but their makeup brushes are synthetic fiber. I'm guessing that's what these may be as well but I'm not positive.

I am not sure but I should think so -- at least the rubber top! Oxo is an excellent maker of kitchen utensils and I imagine the bristles would be BPA free. You might put that question to Oxo directly. Even if not, a person is using the brush on things under a stream of water usually and in that case it shouldn't be much of a problem either way. Just my opinion.

That is what I have and it is completely compatible. I've used it now for about a month with no problems at all. I mention it only because some of the negative reviews have said the brushes fall apart. Mine have not.

If you go to the iRobot web site, the brushes have the same part number for model series 500, 600, 700.

I don't really know what's rotating beater brush, but this vacuum cleaner does clean up bot rugs and bare floor pretty well, and it's light, not heavy like some others.But you have to clean the chamber manually,,,,kinda annoying

Not sure what the definition of 'beater brush' is, but it has a rotating bristled brush turned by a rubber band. I think that is what you are asking about that is not just a "sucking" tool like the attachment on a shop vac.

I think it's synthetic to be honest but I could be wrong. I do like most of the brushes. The big face brush is kind of ruined after I washed it and it lost its shape. The foundation brush is too hard. I do use the other brushes and I like them. Sorry if that did not really answer your question.
