The iRobot Roomba i8178 is a European channel variant of the Roomba i8, sharing the hardware platform with the broader i8 lineup and carrying the same Imprint Smart Map capability at the top of the i-series in its market. Smart Map technology means the robot builds a persistent floor plan and enables room-level instructions from the iRobot app: send it to a specific room, set a keep-out zone, or run a scheduled targeted pass without sweeping the full layout. The AeroForce dual rubber brush system handles the physical cleaning: counter-rotating rollers flex against both smooth and carpeted surfaces, drawing debris upward into the suction path. At the i8 tier, sustained suction maintains pull throughout a full session. The rubber compound in the brushes carries all of that floor contact, and its condition is the most direct determinant of how well the cleaning system performs run after run: compound that stiffens with daily use picks up less than fresh rubber does.
This replacement duo restores the system’s original performance. It contains Plus.Parts® dual rubber brushes configured for the Roomba i8178’s AeroForce cleaning head, two rollers in the counter-rotating format, dimensioned to the original specification. The rubber compound maintains its flexibility across the replacement interval, keeping the floor contact and debris pick-up consistent. The swap follows the standard AeroForce sequence: open the brush module, remove the old pair, seat the new brushes, close.
