How often is it recommended to replace the brush head?

Depend on how often you use your Sonic, I use my sonic once a day therefore I replace it every six months.

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

If you don't mind softer brush you may use one head for 2-3 months. Dentists recommend 1 month

Your assumption is correct. The battery/batteries is/are not user replaceable. The factory warranty is two years, but mine is dying quickly at the four year mark. I've just ordered a 3000 from Amazon.Proper charging will lengthen the life of the brush. My old Oral-B had NiCad batteries and had to be fully discharged about once every six months. I don't know what the battery composition is for the newer brushes. In my case, I think water damage may have caused it's demise.

I replaced mine after having the 1st for almost 2 years of daily use. It was still in excellent condition except that the bristles weren't as stiff. I used the brush mainly for exfoilating prior to shaving my legs so I wanted stiffer bristles. It would have still been fine as a general body/back brush. Replacement time would vary depending on how stiff you like the bristles to be, probably every 1-3 years.

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

I replace my brush head about every 4 to 6 months depending on wear. The only bummer is each head costs like $10.00 to $12.00 (retail) but that won't stop me from using my Sonicare. I think the 4 pack at Costco is like $29.90something or other. That's a heck a lot more than I ever spent on regular toothbrushes but man these puppies do their job! I get the 4 pack replacement heads at Costco when available. The only other maintenance you need is that you need to clean the head completely by taking it off an cleaning the head (screw on base) inside and out (from leftover dried toothpaste foam) usually where the head screws on, inside the head, and on the outside where the brush attaches to the screw on head regularly. You should also wash the electric handle. It can be immersed with no problems. The old style toothbrush is perfect for cleaning the inside of the head and the thread. It uses induction to transfer electricity so nothing to short circuit washing the handle. That's about it for maintenance. EDITED for better coherence.

That is a good question. I have had mine for over 9 months--due to being a personal chef--I wash a LOT of dishes/pots/pans by hand. I still haven't needed to replace the brush head. That being said, I have looked for replacements & there isn't any. Here is probably why--as best I can see how it is constructed, it would not be as efficient with a replaceable brush. I have had many other brands--& ALL have leaked out soap---bristles couldn't withstand high temps of pan or HOT water. Being that this one lasted so far 9 mths & still going--for the $9 bucks I paid--I say it's still worth it. I will get a new one when this one is totally worn out--but it just keeps on going on strong--- That is a good question.

No, the brush heads are not replaceable. They should last as long as the battery does.

I don't really know, but what I've read after some time the brush loses hair

Yes, good for 5 years if you change your brushes out every six months, as recommended. Since these brushes have become almost impossible to find at brick-and-mortar retail, it struck me as a great deal. It would've been an even better deal had my daughter not found my stash and taken two of them because it turns out she likes them too!

I replace it weekly. It depends on your beard. Mine is on the light side of average.

About every six months. Each package comes with a replacement, so I buy a new package once a year. I love the toothbrush. It really works.

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 only buy the name brand brush heads. It is my experience with most products that the generic replacement parts just don't perform as well as the ones designed specifically for your product.

To best of my knowledge, no. It goes and goes, and I've had mine for years before it ran out. Clean or replace your brushes regularly!

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.
