Amazing deal on everything you need to keep your Omni C20 going for years
First and foremost, when I opened the package all the side brushes were all bent up crazy and all over the place (appearing to be ruined) but there was a little business card tucked away in the bag (I included a picture) that tells you to put them into 80 degree Celsius water (which is 176 degrees Fahrenheit BTW) and that they would straight and I have to admit I was skeptical... until about 5 minutes ago. WOW - I mean WOW - they straightened right up like it was poetry in motion, very cool to see it work - in my case I dipped the ends in individually 1 by 1 with all 6 of them and they're good to go now. Tested the pads for size and fit as well as the rollers, filters and bags the other day and they were all perfect matches as well. They also packed it extremely efficiently in a nice bag which is very reusable for long term storage. Also included is a detangle cutter if you have people with long hair in the house - and a brush for filter and roller cleaning if needed. It's such an incredible set that LITERALLY every single Omni C20 should buy. It's a no brainer.
