Works perfectly - great product
My MBR TV set-up incorporates a cable box set up in a closet about 50 feet from the TV (hung over a fireplace). When it was set up the A/V used a wired infra-red set up that was wired thru the walls, under the floor, into the closet. Unfortunately some mice nibbled on the wiring and it does not work. I have tried everything including the Next Generation extender (over the years bought 6 of them for different TV's) and most recently the Startech. The Next Generation have not been updated in years and over time completely lose their ability to operate. No customer service at all; emails go into a black hole. I had high hopes for the Startech. Easy to set up and worked out of the box. The problem is the lag time. I could live with it when watching live TV, but it was totally impossible when it came to playing back programs from the DVR (which is cloud based). I was losing hope until I tried the Sewell Blaster. Took me less then 5 minutes to set up and it worked instantly. Little or no lag to speak of and I couldn't be happier.
NB. Speaking of Sewell, the absolutely BEST way to control your HDMI based TV is the Sewell Direct SW-30062 Dual Band InjectIR sold by Amazon for $55. This is truly plug 'n play and operates with absolutely no lag. Bought 2 of these to operate TV's in my apartment where I had to hide boxes in closets. Well made, great instructions (coordinated with the devices) and I just love this product. I bought mine direct from Sewell ) same price) because I couldn't find them on Amazon when I needed them, but they have a great return policy and I'm told great C/S. If you can't use these then go for the Blaster.

Excellent fit and value - recommended buy
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I rarely write reviews, but I'm so impressed by the fit and quality of this set that I made an exception. I'd been running my eufy 11S without brushes, and have been cleaning and reusing the filters for a while now and finally decided to buy replacements. The kit came packed well with everything in order and no damage. I replaced all of the worn parts and installed the brushes and did a test run - everything worked great. I expected some fitment issues because I've seen that with other kits, but I had no issues. The fact that you get multiples of almost everything is icing on the cake.
Oh, and I wasn't paid or given anything in exchange for this review, as much as that's worth now, haha.
I can recommend getting this kit for your robot vacuum, if it's the right set for your model.

Good option for an aftermarket replacement solution.
Size: 3+12+12+2+1 pack
I've been very happy with this product. I think it is a good price point for what is included. Everything was a directly compatible and everything fit as you would expect. The filter quality is good and since there are plenty in the kit I find I change the filters more often which is probably a good thing. I recommed.

Eufy Brushes wear out with daily use
Size: 4 Pack
These brushes help the Eufy continue to run efficiently. I have 2 dogs and run 2 Eufies daily. It is surprising how much sand, dust, gravel and hair gets vacuumed. My furniture isn't as dusty and my floor doesn't need mopping as often.
