Pros & Cons
Pros
More expensive than the chinese knockoff's but for me it was worth it to get authentic replacement parts. I use it for spot cleaning as we live where there is a lot of snow and grit.
Cons
The faulty battery's didn't work in my friends roomba either. Now lasting 2 1/2-3 hrs again. Roombas btw are a nightmare if you ever have to deal with customer service - avoid the brand.
Highlights
Quality
It has been 2 weeks i replaced this battery and the irobot roomba works perfectly so far
After replacing old battery with this one my bot is super energetic and lasts over an hour
It ran for 2 12 hours and finished the whole house and then docked itself to charge
Replaced my mothers dying battery and fully charged it before the first use
Price
Worth the money for a decent run time
Returned it and reordered a generic at half the price
Less expensive than buying from the manufacturer
More money but i believe worth the extra money
Shipping
Delivered on time and item works great
Fast shipping as and perfect as it was advertise
I appreciate the availability price point and free timely shipping
This was purchased and shipped from amazon
Packaging/appearance
In regards to the review about whether the battery was legit or a knockoff because the packaging had spelling mistakes
If i remember correctly the instructions were not included in the box
Competitiveness
We shall see how long this lasts compared to the cheaper brand of battery
