iRobot Roomba j5178 – Plus.Parts® Spare AeroForce Rubber Brush Set

The iRobot Roomba j5178 is a European channel variant of the Roomba j5 Combo, combining iRobot’s j-series vacuum platform with an integrated mopping capability. PrecisionVision Navigation gives the j-series its obstacle-avoidance character: the robot’s camera system identifies objects in its path, cables, footwear, debris, and routes around them during a cleaning run, reducing the interruptions and snagging incidents that require manual intervention. The Combo format adds an onboard mop pad to the vacuum function, handling surface-level moisture in the same session. The dual rubber brushes drive the vacuum-side floor collection: AeroForce counter-rotating rollers flex against both smooth surfaces and carpet pile, drawing debris into the suction path. The rubber compound in those rollers is what makes the contact-driven pick-up mechanism work, and it degrades with use, gradually at first, with an audible and measurable decline in performance as flexibility reduces. On a daily-run Combo robot, that replacement interval arrives predictably.

This spare set is designed for that maintenance interval. It contains Plus.Parts® dual rubber brushes configured for the Roomba j5178’s AeroForce cleaning head, two rollers in the counter-rotating format, matched to the original dimensions and ready to fit without modification. The rubber compound holds its pliability through the replacement cycle, maintaining the floor contact that keeps debris collection effective. Installation follows the standard AeroForce sequence: release the brush module, remove the old pair, seat the new brushes, close.
