The screw mounting and supported-body list are the identity checks for a j7 edge brush.
What is actually verified
The records below describe the manufacturer-listed original items, including exclusions. They are not tests of unnamed third-party products. An aftermarket listing has to be checked separately against the exact model code j7 and the original identifier.

Original manufacturer evidence
What to require from an aftermarket listing
Robot identity
Roomba j7 · j7
Complete model and all suffixes, not only the brand.
Part identity
Exact published identifier or clearly labeled bundle component above.
Actual item identity and a written reference to the original; a borrowed photo is insufficient.
Scope and exclusions
A j7 vacuum, Combo j7 and s Series are separate entries in the evidence.
Written confirmation of the same generation and caveats; omitted exclusions remain unverified.
Performance
No VacPartFit physical test claimed.
Independent test evidence for filtration, pickup, noise or durability claims.
Returns
Check the current manufacturer store terms.
Check seller returns before opening or fitting the replacement.
When the cheaper pack is difficult to compare
Require the original reference and complete supported model. Bristle count alone cannot substantiate a fit claim.
The attachment point matters more than the number of arms. Check whether the brush uses a screw or a push-fit hub, the shape of its center and the manufacturer's part identifier. Three-arm and five-arm brushes can look interchangeable while belonging to different drive modules. Keep any module-version caveat on the official listing with the fit decision.
With the robot powered down, inspect the user-removable brush for wrapped hair, damaged arms and a cracked hub. Use the removal method in the model manual. A push-fit brush must seat normally; a screw-fit brush should not require a substituted screw or extra force. A brush that still stalls after cleaning needs further manufacturer diagnosis rather than repeated replacement purchases.
Decision before buying
Use the original record as the identity reference. If the seller cannot substantiate a conflicting model or part number, leave that aftermarket relationship unverified and seek a documented match. A manufacturer fit label does not establish seller authenticity or comparative product performance.
