Regina brushes have metal hubs. Koblenz brushes with plastic hubs are quickly worn out by the drive shaft pins. Any fIx?

Brushes have a life span. If you overuse them they do wear out. I have had this equipment for years and have had no issues with the brushes or pads.

no problem yet but i drilled out the rivets and put on the metal ones on a set. Worked great

I had one like this and it only lasted a few months, and the brush kept falling off. Previously I used this brand and had no problems. I think the other one looks like a newer model, maybe better?

There are plastic wheels on a piece of rod at the end's of the rod there is what looks like a hub cap that secures the wheel to the rod. Drill the rod add flat washer and a pin. Or stop by the local hardware store they can give you a similar replacement. We Slide and take 1/2 rows up its a lot faster !!!!

I actually haven't tried those ones. I really liked these brushes at first, but when I cleaned them the tapered kabuki brush just is not the same anymore. The flat kabuki brush is my favorite and is still in great condition. But if your like me and use the tapered kabuki brush a lot I wouldnt recommend buying it.

I was able to find brush on ebay. You might want to check with Conair and they can give you the replacement numbers that you might be able to research.

No That part of it works well. I only had my brush for 5 months and it stopped working. I have to send it back to the manufacturer and they will fix it or replace it. I have to pay to send it back.

I have had the same problem as Sallie. I tried to look up the model number on the website, but it can't find the model number (S3325). Has anyone been able to find the brushes?

mine was bronze. if you use the brush for nails (such as the smiles in a french manicure), the metal part doesn't hold the brush tight enough and individual fibres fall out...

I have cleaned the brushes and dotting tools many times with acetone polish remover and they hold up fine. The brushes don't lose hairs and they go back to their original shape easily. I do treat them gently and dry them flat on a paper towel.

The brushes I have ordered seem to vibrate properly. The outer white ring of bristles does not vibrate; all the others (inside the outer white ring) vibrate.

We had this problem with ours after about 4 years of use. We decided to replace it. We never did find the cause, but narrowed-it-down to either the switch (the brushes will only spin if the handle is in the "reclined" position) or the part that moves the brushes themselves. Our brushes would turn if moved by hand, but eventually failed to move on their own.

I am not sure how you can get the replacement brushes..... I clean the brushes on mine everytime I'm done using it so I hope that will prolong the brushes to last longer. I bet a email to Shark will get you some answers.

I've noticed that the Silver/Metallic ones don't last very long and start sticking, making it impossible to pump with just 1 hand. The colored ones last longer and I haven't had a problem with them. I would contact the seller and ask about a replacement.

The pins do hold up well and don't recede into the cushion. Chris Christensen's brushes were recommended to me by a Great Pyrenees breeder of 30+ years, said the brushes are the best out there and she highly recommends them. They also have a life time warranty. My problem is I left my brush out and my pup picked it up and chewed the handle. . . So I need to replace mine, too!

Hi! Is it all the brushes or just the large brush? My fan brush shedded a lot but I didn't have issues with any of the others. With the large brushes you can literally brush them with a hair brush to free the loose bristles and then shake them firmly a few times. If its ALL the brushes, you might have gotten a bad batch. I would suggest contacting Amazon or Shany to see about a replacement set or refund. Hope this helped!

I had the same problem, one hubcap flew off on the highway. I ended up painting the originals and scrapping these.

Using a flat edge screw driver, I pushed on the plastic tabs at each end of the brush. I removed the old one and slipped in the new one. I used the screw driver because I did not have enough strength in my finger to push the tab over.
