5 Things to Know About Third-Party Roborock Parts
Filters and brushes from third-party brands work well enough that most people won’t notice a difference. OEM filters catch slightly more fine dust, but third-party ones are about 70% as effective at 20% the price.
Replace third-party filters a little more often and you still save money. You come out ahead even with more frequent replacements.
Many third-party brushes are literally the same plastic from the same factory. The main brush might wear out a bit faster, but at a quarter of the cost, it is still a good deal.
Avoid cheap knockoff mop pads and weird brand-name main brushes that do not fit right. Stick to well-reviewed sellers on Amazon or AliExpress.
Your Roborock will not know the difference, but your wallet will. Third-party parts are a smart choice for most people.
