Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human CadaversStiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousand years, cadavers some willingly, some unwittingly have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight
Stiff is an oddly compelling, often hilarious exploration of the strange lives of our bodies postmortem. For two thousand years, cadavers--some willingly, some unwittingly--have been involved in science's boldest strides and weirdest undertakings. They've tested France's first guillotines, ridden the NASA Space Shuttle, been crucified in a Parisian laboratory to test the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin, and helped solve the mystery of TWA Flight 800. For every new surgical procedure, from heart transplants to gender reassignment surgery, cadavers have been there alongside surgeons, making history in their quiet way.In this fascinating, ennobling account, Mary Roach visits the good deeds of cadavers over the centuries--from the anatomy labs and human-sourced pharmacies of medieval and nineteenth-century Europe to a human decay research facility in Tennessee, to a plastic surgery practice lab, to a Scandinavian funeral directors' conference on human composting. In her droll, inimitable voice, Roach tells the engrossing story of our bodies when we are no longer with them.

Perfect replacements for the G30
I wanted to replace the filters in my old G30 more frequently, as it's still running like a champ. I figured keeping up on it more often would help prolong its life expectancy. So far, so good. The less expensive replacement parts definitely help me not get upset every time I want to replace something. All parts from this pack fit perfectly, and the price is reasonable enough to avoid pushing replacements to the very last minute—at least it did for me, lol.

Great product for money but pay attn to your model filters are different on newer models.
Size: 20 PACK
The rollers work great and fit nicely into my Euphy which turned out I have a early version of which means none of the filters don’t fit my Euphy unfortunately and I hadn’t payed attention to the filters I was looking to get a 2 pack of rollers, the filters look nice though like they would make a great seal with the plastic and seal around them. I won’t buy them again for sure though for obvious reasons. Euphy is so much quieter then my second vacuum that’s a Roomba and she definitely gives her a run for her money and when it dies I will definitely be replacing her with a Euphy.

Very great and durable option.
Style: for Saros 10R / Saros 20 / Qrevo CurvX
These parts are the perfect option when maintaining your robot vacuum. They fit the machine perfectly and are just as if not more durable than the company provided parts. Definitely recommended.
