trademark retail delivered fast free shipping through amazon prime

This product was a very good deal and as well built. Very happy with my purchase.

Inexpensive way to update my vacuum.

Love the replacement! More affordable than the actual retailer! .

Our kirby was having issues burning up belts and the brush-roll would struggle to spin! I saw this on amazon for $30 and thought it was worth a try! When I tried installing it I found that the dark grey/light grey plastic pieces were on the wrong sides. I popped them off and switched them, and then installed it. THIS IS LIKE A WHOLE NEW KIRBY!!! The brush will spin all the time even on the lowest setting with my tall carpet.... when I looked at my old brush I noticed a pretty significant wear mark where the belt rides, no wonder it was slipping!

Our Sentria is around 10 years old and it seemed to need a new belt more often, and you could not put it as low as we used to without it starting to slip--even with a new belt. Finally I decided to try a new roller, as the old one had a very smooth section where the belt is. The new roller completely fixed the slipping issue. I had an old belt and with the new roller it worked 10 times better than the old roller. The new roller appears to be the very same as the old one. Bristles seem very similar in length, maybe a little softer. If your Kirby keeps slipping when you put the roller down, try a new roller. It totally did the trick for us, and it works like it used to. Apparently over the last ten years we put it too low too many times, causing the belt to slip and over time that rubbed as smooth groove in the old roller. The new one does the Trick.

Good price. Perfect fit. My old Kirby is back to work with this brush.

I ordered this because I was having problems keeping my old brush roller turning. Turns out that was a result of some bad belts. I had the same problems with this new brush roller. After trouble shooting and talking to a local Kirby service center we figured out it was indeed the belts. Dont buy cheap knock off belts. All is well as we had the Kirby for some time and we were way over due for a new brush roller. This appears to be a genuine Kirby product. The price is great and comes in at half what my service center was going to charge me for one. I do only give it 4 stars due to the lack of warranty mention. Maybe I missed it. While the genuine brush roller from the service centers cost twice as much, they do come with a 1 year warranty. It would be nice if there was mention of this from the seller. The brush roller is working great and I would highly recommend for your G series vac. I have the Ultimate G.

Could tell an immediate difference once installed. The old original bar had a million miles on it & was pretty worn down, this new one brings back more suction & cleaning power that becomes noticeable when getting close to wall edges & corners. Good product !

This came *backwards* with the magnet on the wrong side for the Generation 3, just like others have complained about. Fortunately the endcaps can be removed and swapped to the opposite ends. One done, the light (which I havent seen for a good 15 years) was once again visible. I dont like that the endcaps do not have colors on each side like my original G3 brushroll did. This made it challenging to find the matching height adjustment for each end individually.
