Has anyone used these and they completly fell apart? First the bristles started to fall out then pieces of plastic.

I have not experienced that happening. Actually my experience is the opposite; I have to throw them out before they deteriorate.

This has not happened to me; however, I feel like this brush head was poorly made compared to the original one I had. The bristles did wilt a little faster and the plastic makes noise as if it is not securely tightened into the handheld.

If you buy these from Spalook, Clarisonic or someone who is a registered provider then you shouldnt have this problem. Another thing is also that when using some thing from a non-registered dealer or provider you run the risk of voiding your warranty!!!

2nd time I used it, it broke. The center came out and there was green brush on my face. When I buy these from the dermatologist, this does not happen. These are cheap and defective and should not be called clarisonic, more like clarisonic rejects.

These worked great for me, however, I only used them after getting my makeup off, so mine was used as more of a deep cleaning thing. Also, after every use, I take my brush off and rinse it out on the front and back.

I haven't had to replace mine yet (I've washed and air dried them and they seem fine), so I haven't had to deal with this issue yet. Brookstone sells this vacuum so you might try writing to them to see if they can help you. Good Luck!

They are cheaply made -- bristles look worn down after a week --not sure if it's cover placement (or too small for brush) or bad bristles. They are labeled Phillips Sonicare -- but who knows (?)

No, I have never experienced bristles falling off, and I've had mine a while. You might have a defective one.

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

I think it must be a defective batch. We use ours everyday and they are still holding tight. Maybe have amazon ship out some new ones?

Yep, we used 3 in about a week, and in the end realized the part with the brush that the belt wraps around was melted...and would not hold a belt on anymore. We had to get a new vacuum after having this one for just a few months.

No, they well start falling apart from moisture . They last longer if you take out & let dry between use.

I've them a few months and the bristles are still intact. It seems to me that bristles coming out - and on the first day - is neither normal or acceptable. I have a quite old (and cheap) bristle brush with the bristles being pushed back into the brush, as if whatever's holding them to the base has let go - but they do not fall out, even if the brush is somewhat useless now because only the topmost part of the bristles show. However, the Spornettes are fine and seem quite sturdy.

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.

I haven't tried. They seem to be so very fragile. If you try it let us know what happened. Judie Johnson

Mary - We have used the sweeper for about 3 years and have never had any problems with the brushes falling out.

I have been using my brush for a few months now, morning and night, and I have not had ANY issues with bristles falling out. I love this brush! It has really made a difference in the way my hair feels and has helped with shine as well.

I don't know how often you use them but I have had some for up to 6 months and haven't any trouble with them. Hope this has been helpful. Thanks Bert

This product is not of the quality that they used to be. After just a couple weeks of use, the entire section with the "bristles" started to pull out of the handle. My wife has not seen any "bristles" breaking.

Mine last about 6-8 weeks before I have to redo them but I reuse them.They are perfectly fine for pulling, brushing, styling, etc but if I can add some maintenance suggestions: I do not swim in chlorine with them (it loosens the tape). I wash my hair in sections throughout the week (to not wet the tape every time.)And I use a soft bristled brush to comb through (so brushing is more gentle.)All suggestions, but mine last 6-8 weeks. I've been wearing extensions for a long time and this is what I've found to work best and for the price it's worth a shot I think!!! I hope you enjoy!

Yes, I know they stain very easily and do not come clean. I have no experience buying replacements. We had all ours recovered. Sorry not much help.
