iRobot Roomba 4160 Spinning Edge Brush Replacement

Introduction

The spinning edge brush is located on the edge of the Roomba. It brushes dirt and hair into the center of the vacuum where it can easily be picked up. If the vacuum is not picking up the dirt on the edge of the vacuum's path, the spinning edge brush may not be working properly.
