I have been using this Hammer for years and have not yet replaced the brushes. I know the brushes are of a "standard" size can be found at most tool repair centers. Hope this answers your question.

I purchased tool in 2007. I am estimating I use it 40 hours per year. So far, it still runs. I have trouble stepping on the power cord and pulling it out of the grommet. One day it will die and I would get another one. Wish I could be more exact for you.

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.

Just brush heads when they wear out and batteries. They sell replacement heads on Amazon. They aren't that expensive.

The brushes themselves are excellent. The brown travel bag they came in smelled of an oil based product. The seller quickly replaced it but it still had somewhat of an oil/chemical smell. I highly recommend the brushes though they are great! No the brushes do not shed...

Home depot has the same item. Once the bristles are gone u throw it out. I have not found any replacement as of yet

I would only purchase Phillips "branded" replacement brushes. The brushes made by others identified as identical, or similar, just don't meet the exact specifications. One I bought from the largest retailer on earth rattled like a jack hammer when used.

Actually, I would suggest getting all 5 brushes in the set. They r amazing. I love the flat top and the Angeled brushes. You save more money when u get the set.

Mine had two brushes with it. I replaced a worn out one with it and like it much better. The old one was fancier but thisone does just fine. Highly recommend.

I did buy the brush set from amazon. It has the three different brushes and it is a snap to clean. With or without them but I am a bit anal and like to make sure it it real clean.

We have been using Sonicare for many years. I bought the battery-powered toothbrush, since it's much more convenient. I have some brushheads from the maybe 10 year old rechargeable, and they fit, and work. I've not actually used them on a daily basis, but I did try one. I'm not surprised that Philips try to sell new brushes, and for all I know, the older style brushes don't work as well as the new style. Doesn't matter to me - usable or not - I love the new battery unit!

Our Roomba runs every day, in a 2400 square foot house with pets and three long-haired humans. The filters we tap out every couple of days, the brushes need hair cut off them every couple of weeks. Every now and then the side brushes get washed in hot soapy water. So far the brushes are in good shape, after what? Four months? They show no sign of needing to be replaced yet.

I would contact the manufacture for an exact answer. I purchased on a whim, hoping they would and yes, they did. I just compared the style with what came with my Sonicare. The brushes last just as long and for the price...worth it !

I have never replaced mine but I am sure you can buy replacements from Amazon that is where I would look first Then I would do an internet search. My brushes are holding up very well on wood floors if you need to clean brushes I would use a rag dampened with mineral spirits in a well ventilated room.

I have to press the reset button too. I also clean the brissels of the brushes. I found that this helps me not have to reset it as often. I still haven't figured out how to use the attached brush.

I replace my brush about every 6 months. According to anything you read, your supposed to replace the brush, probably every 30-60 days, however, I use the brush as directed, w/o much pressure (but some, of course), and my bristles are straight and in great shape for an extended amount of time. I feel that I get a significant amount of life out of every brush -better than I initially expected.Additionally, I have tried off-brand brushes, and I have not had a good experience. The off-brand brushes had considerably less power than the Philips brand brushes.

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.
