I bought this December 2011 at $89, it's just past the two year mark, now the "spindle" that holds the "brush" just broke, it spirals out of control?

I had that same thing happen to mine as well. Unfortunately these toothbrushes don't last longer than like 2 years. You will probably have to order another one. That's what I had to do. My husband has one and he's had it for almost 2 years I think so I may have to get him a new one too if that happens with his. It stinks but they are a great toothbrush in my opinion.

What is the question? sorry, i don't get it. Maybe the spindle needs replacing. I think you can call the company and they will guide you. But maybe two years is all you get. I haven't used mine that long and it's doing great so far...

"Spindle broke?" I have had mine for as long (in use for 3 years) and it is still going strong. I would still get another Sonicare if that happened to mine over the major competitor's.

They're great brushes, but two years is as good as it gets. Time to buy a new one I'm afraid!

I got mine off of CL for $200. I didn't pull the trigger when addicted to Amazon got them. I was watching but missed them. The chair is pretty good, I just wish both of my 360 wheels hadn't broken on me.

Ours didn't seem to work correctly from day one, I purchased it on Amazon's Deal of the day, because it had a great rating on consumer reports. It has a five year warranty, ours is only 2.5 years old and I can't get Amazon or LG to fix or replace it.We have owned them all, I have come to the conclusion that your better off buying a $50.00 Bissell, and throwing it out when it breaks?

I'm on my third one and have plenty of brushes, one lasted one month and another lasted one year, anyway, water is the issue so if you can avoid rinsing it will probably last longer.

I would ask the manufacturer about replacement brushes. I emailed with him about the brush when I bought it and found him very helpful.

The reason I replaced mine is that one of the side brushes was curled off to one side from leaning next to the wheel for awhile. The new one took care of that for us.

The brushes were very good for the first couple months, then two of them fell completely apart.. I was very upset about that, I hoped they would last longer

I've had mine for a few months and have used it a lot...sometimes I put too much in, but I've not noticed any gouging. Doesn't it have a 10 year guarantee? AS long as it still works and it's just looks, I personally wouldn't worry until it looks like it might actually be breaking apart. I guess it's just a bid DUNNO from me

Had the same problem a couple of years ago. Waited a few months for a spindle. I love the lathe but the parts problem will most likely prevent me from buying any other delta tools.

I think it's a year or two. But you're going to need the extended warranty. That said, I beg you not to buy this machine.

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.

Mine was a piece of junk. It came cracked where the brushes go so none of the brushes could be attached. Return it if you can.

Mine was for at least a year into the future. Other than that I have no idea--ask the Seller, I'm just another customer here like you!

I've had mine for less than two years but only the brushes have needed to be replaced.

Uh.. ye-ah! Seriously, this things dont last forever. What's the alternative.. get it repaired? Good luck with that. I'm not being a smart ass.. I'm realistic. At the price you originally paid, a unit with reparable parts would be 2 -3 times more expensive.

My motor went up in 10 months. It didn't sound like it did when I bought it and it wasn't picking up hair and dirt like it had. I took it to our local Sew & Vac who said they were an authorized dealer. When they called, I was told that the work needed to repair it was not under warranty and that it would cost me $90 to repair it. Honestly, I hated the vacuum for a number of reasons so I told the repair shop to throw it away. I ordered the Panasonic UG471 and got it in less time than if I had waited for my Hoover to be repaired. I have a huge GSD and need to vacuum daily.

I am having the unevenness in power just two months after the two year warranty expired :(I still like the Oral-B toothbrush but I think I will buy a cheaper version! I mean if it's going to die every two years.... *shrug*
