Not perfect. Was able to get them working after initial hiccups.
OK, so this things are not perfect and at first they didn't work. It's either a quality control issue, or a manufacturing issue. But I found a solution, at least for the ones I purchased.After I inserted these into the Roomba, they seemed to be fine for a minute or two, then the Roomba stopped and said that there was something stuck. I took them out, checked them and there was nothing, put them back and the Roomba started again, but it stopped once again with the same message. After many attempts, and being almost ready to return them, I realized what the problem was. These things are cut wrong, basically the grey and black plastic (soft) rollers are not cut evenly and they may be a bit too long. So I took a pair of scissors and trim them down a couple of millimeters (on the opposite side to the yellow end). They were not fully even but they were short enough all around. Put them in and now the Roomba works without a complaint. So far it's run a couple of days with no issues. I'll update this if things change.

My third order
My third order and i will continue to order these. I find i have to trim the edge of the surface material on one end and recenter the material on the roller to prevent errors on the Romba as it can get too tight on the rotor once it gets dirty. Other than this it is very effective and inexpensive. I highly recommend it on the premise you trim a 1/8 th inch off the end of the surface belting.

Cheap plastic
Out of the box they look authentic. But the feel of the material is a dead give away that this wouldn't live up to the original/authentic rollers.I have hard wood & tile floors with transition pieces. Everyday the iRobot had gets stuck on the transitions. The rollers just don't have the good rubber on them is just too slick & thin to move the vacuum over the floor. The iRobot didn't have a problem going over these transitions with the authentic rollers in place. Though it costs more, I am buying the authentic rollers.

Loud on hardwood and laminate floors
I ordered these replacement rollers for my series 800 roomba vacuum. The rollers fit without trimming, but the sound on the hardwood and laminate floors was deafening - like a high-pitched screech. I had to order original manufacture replacement parts, and will not be ordering again. I would only consider these if you had carpet only in your home.

Much Better price point
Works perfectly fine with my 980. Still they get shredded up by getting hair twisted around them just like the originals, except these dont have that INSANE $30+ for one set price point as the originals. Does the exact same thing, lasts the same time.

Doesn't fit the 900 series
I live outside the US and had these shipped to me as a much cheaper option than buying the replacement parts here. These are listed as compatible with the 900 series - THE ROLLERS ARE TOO LONG and don't fit. The rubber is also a much stiffer quality.It would just cost me more to ship them back, but I just threw away good money buying something that doesn't fit as advertised.

Cheaply made
You get what you pay for I guess. Bought these late July and already had to replace the first two. The ends don’t seem to be sealed like the Roomba brand rollers. Therefore, pet hair can wind around the axle internally out of view and eventually impede performance. Also the end piece is very cheaply made and cracked off, the other end piece melted.I recommend you clean out the rollers after each use.For comparison- one set of these rollers lasted 3 months. The original roomba rollers lasted 3+ years.

Best replacement
I have tried other replacements and found that their manufacturer used poor plastic that broke down almost immediately. This producer has much tougher and better beaters. So I have purchased a back up pair for when there break down in a year. They pick up much more dirt than others and don't shred the carpet in the process.

iRobot Roomba Rollers Real Savings!!!
I cannot see any difference between these and the genuine iRobot silicon rollers except........THE PRICEVery good value for a quality product which it is really important to replace as it loses efficiency if you let the rollers wear too much. At this price you can afford to replace them regularly. Great Saving!

Different size to the original and makes roomba very noisy
After installing them I have noticed that the machine is now incredibly noisy. On closer inspection I have noticed that the dark grey roller is about 5mm shorter than the genuine roller and this seems to be causing the noise. If i take your dark grey roller out and replace it with the original the noise stops. I have sent them back and will be purchasing genuine rollers.
