Do the pins hold up well and do they recede into the cushion? I can't seen to find a brush that holds up.

i bought one and love it. i have an Afghan hound who has a very soft coat so he matts up very easily. this brush has held up for almost a year of grooming him. definately worth buying!

Hi Brenda. Yes the pins hold up very, very well. I've been extremely happy with this brush, especially since I brush our dog once a day.

I recently bought a second one, first one is still intact and functional, slightly chewed. I love it because the dogs both seem to enjoy it and grooming is much more pleasant for them. After a few years, the cushion seems a little softened. We do not brush everyday, though, so they get a workout.

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!

I purchased this brush over a year ago and it is still like new. It is a gentle brush for my Havanes (about 10-11 lbs each but one is fully long coated). I'm not sure what you mean by "recede into the cushion". They are fully anchored.

The brush holds up well. I have not had any pins fall out, or recede into the brush. I have owned the brush about 9 months.

The pins hold up very well and do not recede into the cushion. I have 2 Newfoundland's and use it almost daily. The brush is amazing and has made grooming much easier. My female would not let me brush her with a regular pin brush but she loves this one! I highly recommend it.

I just bought mine a few months ago for my golden retriever service dog and love it and it is well worth getting it.

I have a golden-doodle and the brush does press in/recede and has completely held up in the year plus that we have had it. It's not as strong on tough snarls and you have to use the edge with a bit of an angle to get them, but it is a fairly gentle and effective brush for our dog.

I got mine yesterday (5/14/14), and the pin issue has been fixed. It has a bolt now like the picture in the description. I will try to upload a picture if I can figure out how, but at least the pair I got does not have a pin. I haven't used them yet, but they look and feel sturdy to me and the grips feel much nicer than my old wooden handle ones.

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 use the other brand (soft knees) and i wash them on normal, hundreds and hundreds of times. they dont deteriorate. they arent much more than these, but im not sure of the quality difference. i would bet youd be okay with these, cause the other brand certainly can!

No problems with the brush at all. My husband has been thrilled with it. No bristles have fallen out and the wood has a nice satin finish to the wood. A great brush! Hope this helps. :)

Ours has not lost any bristles over many months of reasonable use. However - and not surprisingly, some of the outer bristles have become bent.

If you have tried the suggestions from others who responded to your question, I would contact the manufacturer. Be sure the brushhandle is fully charged and the brush is attached fully to the handle. They only last about 3 or 4 months before being replaced if you use the brush even once a day then gradually slow up in rotation. This is the signal to replace the brush.

I have an Omega Pro 48 brush that has the biggest knot I've ever seen (28mm), and I had to adjust the brush holder a bit. (Thumbs on the inside ends of the brush holder work fine.) Just force it apart slightly. Try the fit, repeat as necessary. Or ignore it, the normal size Parker/Jagger brushes fit just fine and a few strands won't affect the shave. Brush just looks better, opened up a bit.

Oh yes, the brushes lock in and stay on good. I have not had any problems with that at all.

No, the bristle, are very strong and wear well. The pads are replaceable, although I have yet to replace mine on three year old models. I'm telling you these are the best -- you will not regret purchasing one. Your only regret will be that you didn't purchase one earlier. I have no interest in this product, but man-o'-man, I wish I did.

They've held up (haven't fallen out) but there a bit on the soft side. In fact, some of the bristles were already bent out to the side when i got the broom and haven't straightened out by themselves or with me trying to bush them down. I use the broom everyday and have it for several months so I am okay with it but would have preferred if the bristles were a bit stiffer.

Hmmm. I haven't had any issues with the brushes falling out. We use this daily for minor messes. The whole house is carpeted and this helps a lot whenever we don't have messes large enough to use our Bissell vacuum.

I assume after you replace pads, they may not stay in as well as you may have to utilize the same hole (depending how wide is the leg). You can always add some glue. Personally I don't have any problems with them yet. I have put them on a year ago and still look like new. Please note that I am using furniture on wood floors and there is not opportunity to drag furniture against carpets, etc... which put additional friction and may rip them off.

No, but I can't see them ever wearing out. Keep them clean with the brush provided and maybe add a drop of lightweight oil once in a while and they should last for years.

They are not really soft but not as hard as most of the back brushes. I would say stiff and not hard and you can scrub with them and they don't scratch. I think it's a real quality brush. Mary

I have not used them long enough for a good answer but nothing has fallen off so far.. they are pretty sturdy brushes I love them

They do get holes in them, but so far I have only used 4 out of the 8 and have blocked at least 30 items (mostly doilies) with those 4 and they have plenty of uses left. They are not even close to being 'harmed' enough to compromise the mats. I do use sewing pins or map pins on them and not the fatter "T" pins, but I doubt they would hurt the mats either. The undersides of the mats could also be used if needed as I seldom push the pins through. I figure these will last a very long time.
