Concerned about mold forming on bristles since the holder lid will not let them air dry.Do the brushes and their bristles dry completely everyday? I

Yes, they dry completely since the bottom is ventilated. I have not encountered any mildew/mold buildup, but it would still be wise to clean it once a month or so.

The holder actually does have venting, and it isn't a sealed cylinder even though it has a lid. I've had it for a few months and it's not gotten moldy, nor have the toothbrushes.

I have had no problem. Air vents on bottom. But the stainless exterior is a pain to keep nice without smudges and markings

I actually make an effort to dry my toothbrush before I put it in the holder so I don't have any musty smells to deal with. I also occasionally spray a little hydrogen peroxide on the bristles and rinse for general hygiene purposes. I have never seen mold on a toothbrush.

I have not seen any mold. After each use I always pour water out and leave the opening open to dry before putting it away.

I bought the old type (because they were on sale) and have had NO problem with them drying out. My understanding is that the new ones had altered caps because there had been complaints from people who found it difficult to remove the old caps (I have not).

The only time my brushes haven't worked is whn I didn't have the return water container seated properly. I'd suggest you check that.

I am so sorry but I have never used this brush wet, only dry so mold has not been an issue. After each use I simply hold the brush over my sink and give it a good run through with the palm of my hand in a back and forth motion.The residue usually falls off.

Not at all. I have used it it with plastic bristle brushes as well and have had no effect on them. Been using it for over 3 years with no problems what so ever.

Yes, a lot of them and it is only under warranty for 30 days so you should hurry up and send it back. I'm stuck with over 1/3 of the bristles gone and can't do anything about it, and it's only been 2 months. Extremely disappointed in it.

It never dries. I left it hanging and tries to dry it but the bristles stay wet and mushy forever. This product really seemed (to me) like a mold factory.

We personally don't have this problem on our 2 brushes. Either the wrong heads as described by James or maybe you don't push them hard enough on the brush? They needs quite some force to lock onto the actuator.

I never did either until recently I order two blow dryers and both brushes fell off. I sent them back, my new ones are doing the same. Very disappointed!

I've been using mine for over a year, maybe two. Mine has mold on it. It varies so its not like the whole thing is molded. So far it hasn't affected the sturdiness. It doesn't really bother me but I was under the impression this would not happen.

I have not had any trouble with reusing the paints in the contacts and I always leave it between uses. The only area that dries out is in the lid itself

Yes. I leave them out with the lid off for a bit after running them through the dishwasher. But they do dry completely. Also remember to take the metal parts off before washing.

I found there are tons of YouTube videos that show you step by step how to take it apart and clean it. Mine wasn't working at all - the toggle had no resistance and wouldn't permit the airflow to pass through the brush. My husband watched the video and took it apart and put it back together again. Tedious but definitely something anyone can repair. Not sure if your problem is from dried makeup or perhaps a Non-Dinair product, but I'm sure it can be corrected. Good luck!

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.

We've had ours for about a year and a half. Despite rigorous rinsing, cleaning with the included brush (a laughably useless addition, by the way), and thorough drying, the lip and gasket are covered in black mold. It's incredibly gross. We're replacing it with something else (possibly another brand, because this isn't okay), even though we paid a lot for it.

I rinse them immediately after use, then wash in the dishwasher with the spout pulled open. Then air dry before putting them away. We've had no mold problems.
