Winner of the 2020 Helen and Kurt Wolff Translation Prize

The Fox and Dr. Shimamura toothsomely encompasses East and West, memory and reality, fox-possession myths, and psychiatric mythmaking. As an outstanding young Japanese medical student at the end of the nineteenth century, Dr. Shimamura is sent--to his dismay--to the provinces: he is asked to cure scores of young women afflicted by an epidemic of fox possession. Believing it's all a hoax, he considers the assignment an insulting joke, until he sees a fox moving under the skin of a young beauty... Next he travels to Europe and works with such luminaries as Charcot, Breuer and Freud--whose methods, Dr. Shimamura concludes, are incompatible with Japanese politeness. The ironic parallels between Charcot's theories of female hysteria and ancient Japanese fox myths--when it comes to beautiful, writhing young women--are handled with a lightly sardonic touch by Christine Wunnicke, whose flavor-packed, inventive language is a delight.

Great replacement mop pads that hold up well through multiple washes
Color: L40 Ultra Mop Pad
I've been really happy with these replacement mop pads for my x30 Ultra Dreame robot vacuum. They snap on and off easily without any tools, which makes swapping them out between cleaning sessions quick and hassle-free. The microfiber material feels dense and absorbent — comparable to the original pads that came with the unit — and they do a solid job picking up grime on my hard floors, including tile and laminate. Getting 8 pads in a pack is a great value. I rotate through them regularly and toss a few in the washing machine at a time, and so far they've held their shape and absorbency well after repeated washes. No fraying or velcro attachment issues yet. My only minor complaint is that the fit can feel slightly less snug than the OEM pads, but once the robot is running, they stay in place fine and perform just as well. Overall, a solid third-party option that saves you money without sacrificing cleaning performance.

Original equipment quality
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
Perfect set. I held back on this review until I had to chance to try everything, and it is "OEM" quality in every way. The mop heads fit securely and are the right size and texture. The filters are exactly right and appear to be high quality materials and snug up properly. The rollers fit correctly and last as long as the originals. The brushes appear to be the same thing. Finally, the bags themselves fit well and snap shut for disposal. I would be hard pressed to tell the difference, and moreover the cost difference from original is extreme (4X or more). I'm ordering another set.

Good value bundle, everything you need
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
I got this accessories kit for my robot vacuum and it’s actually really convenient to have everything in one pack. Instead of ordering parts separately, this includes pretty much all the main things you’ll need over time — brushes, mop pads, filters, and dust bags. The pieces fit well and are compatible with the machine as expected. Installation is simple — everything swaps out easily just like the original parts, so no issues there. Kits like this typically include the same core parts (main brush, side brushes, filters, mop pads, dust bags), which are meant to be replaced regularly to keep the vacuum working efficiently. The quality is decent overall. The mop pads absorb well and clean effectively, and the brushes pick up dirt without any problems. It may not feel exactly like the original brand parts, but for the price, it does the job. What I like most is the quantity — having multiple replacements means you don’t have to think about buying more anytime soon. It’s especially useful if you run the vacuum often.

OEM Quality at a fraction of the cost
Color: L40 Ultra Accessories, Color: L40 Ultra Accessories
I have a Dreame x50(Main floor)and a Dreame x40(Top Floor), for over a year now. I use them each 3x/week in mainly mopping downstairs(vacuuming area rugs & floor) and mainly vacuuming upstairs(carpet) and some mopping(2 bathrooms and one bedroom); so I know a little bit about accessories and what they can and cannot do. Even though these are for the Dreame x40, some of the parts fit both the x40 & x50 perfectly. As the 1st pic shows, the mop pads, corner brush, and dust bags fit perfectly on both. However the main brush, and filter insert are different. But these all fit in the x40. The only slight problem, as I pointed out in other reviews, these new filter cartridges are dark gray, not white, so can’t see the dirt as much, when cleaning them. They easily slip in and feel sturdy as the OEM. The product on left of each pic is the OEM, right is this product. The quality and design is the same as the OEM, and far less expensive. I recommend these if you own either machine.
