Every 3 or 4 months. In between I take the head off and clean everything. Stuff gathers inside.

Hello RalphieI have been replacing the brush head every 3 to 4 months.When I brush I do not press too hard so I guess mine do last a little longer than the recommended 3 months.Also, when I'm done brushing, I rinse the tooth brush thoroughly, making sure there aren't any residual toothpaste left in the bristles. This should also contribute to the whole thing lasting longer and being more hygienic.

You should replace the brush head every three months or sooner if the bristles look worn down.

about 3 months for me but I only use it in the morning. I use a regular brush in the evening.

No the head can't be replaced. It's all 1 piece. You can replace the battery. It takes 1 AAA battery. Phillips Sonicare makes electric toothbrush for children that you can replace the heads. It comes w/2 different size heads too.

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.

Have you replaced the heads? It is recommended that they be replaced every year. Hope this helps.

I replace mine once a year. A lot depends on how clean your house is and if you have pets that shed hair. I have two cats.

I've never had an issue with the product so have not dealt with the company at all. My first brush lasted at least 5-6 years, and it still worked, but wouldn't hold a charge more than a few days so I replaced it. When they're new the charge lasts 2 weeks. I'm sure there is a toll free number you can call to ask.

You may have gotten a bad one. I have used mine for months with no problem. Be sure that the brush is on the handle properly. If it isn't on nice and tight it could cause the mechanism inside to wear out too soon.

Just bought it for my daughter for Christmas. I do not know yet when they have to be replaced. I assume 3-6 months like any other toothbrush.

It depends what brush head you use, and both are fine. I did ask my dentist and he said it doesn't matter as long as you brush at least twice a day and always before bed.

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.

The replacement heads that I use are "oral-B" Dual clean. They are all over the internet. Lots with really free shipping. Good luck.

The Oral-B Action Power Soft is not out of stock. I just checked 30 seconds ago before writing this answer and it is shown as in stock. Buy a couple of brushes and a lot of heads then change your head and battery every 3 or 4 months whenever you visit you hygienist for a cleaning. You can save the used heads and batteries for other cleaning uses around the house if you have an old used brush.

Even with my bad experiences I would buy another one as long as it was $45 or less. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to find replacement heads and will have to throw it out when it no longer shaves you good. Depending on your beard this could take a few years. I had no issues until mine got worn out.

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 suppose it gets as dirty as you let it. I rinse the brush head after every use, and also run water over the power unit, and dry it. Every couple of weeks I soak the brush heads in hydrogen peroxide, something that should be done with every toothbrush. The power unit is waterproof. I have washed it twice a day for about six years and it works fine, so that's not a problem. But, that means the batteries are sealed; you cannot replace them. Expect to buy another unit at some point. We like them so much I will not hesitate.) I hope this answers your question.

No, you cannot replace the head. As a side note, I use mine for 6 times after replacing the whole roller. Some pages in internet say thst you should use the roller once.

Yes, and replacement heads are readily available. They have different colored "rings" around the base of each brush head so that multiple people can use the base with their own brush head.
