Summary: It's official: Less is (allegedly) More
Comment: Like most reviewers here, I love my Roomba 550 (to the extent that a man can love a Horseshoe Crab, that is), but feel disgusted by the poor durability of the spinning side brush. The first 'arm' of the side brush broke off after just two weeks of use. Within two months, my Roomba was completely 'armless'. So I ordered this 3-pack Roomba 500 Series Side Brush one month ago.
The new brush has only three 'arms' compared to six in the original design. This has alarmed some reviewers, who thought they have received counterfeit replacement parts. But according to the official iRobot web site, the three-arm version is indeed the new design. I was initially skeptical of whether three arms are better than six in terms of durability. But so far the new brush seems to be working just fine. At least there is no sign of any arms breaking off (yet).
Latest News Flash:
Apparently iRobot has received massive complaints about the series 500 Roomba side brush, and is offering a replacement brush to each owner. Just go to "irobot dot com slash support", select your Roomba's model, and enter "order spinning side brush" in the search bar. You will then be able to 'order' a side brush for free - after you complete the product registration page.

Summary: iRobot needs to recall the brushes
Comment: Just received a letter from iRobot regarding the side brushes wearing down prematurely and they are offering a free replacement side brush. I am already on the 2nd side brush and I only use my roomba 550 one hour per week for 3 months!
Most of the Roomba 550 are still under warranty so why buy this kit?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not received.
Comment: Due to an error in the advertisement, I returned the item asking the shipper to correct the order. The reply was simply to credit my account for the amount of the initial purchase. It appears that there was no attempt to contact me. This transaction will reduce the liklihood of future bsiness with this Amazon sub.

Summary: Roomba 500 Series Side Brush
Comment: Have used the new side brushes for a few hours and they seem to be performing well. A little pricey though.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good to have on hand
Comment: We received only one side brush with our Roomba, so this 3-pack is great to have on hand. We set our Roomba to run on a daily basis (black dog, white carpeting!) so it's nice to have the spare brushes and things ready to go if one gets snagged or broken. We have small kids so sometimes toys are left out by accident and can tear the 'arms' on these brushes.
I love my Roomba and am glad that these spare parts are available seperately and cheaply!
