One of the reviewers said something about brushes. Exactly which brushes? Do they fit thru the tubing? Do the brushes scratch the tubing?

I don't know of any brushes. Mine did not come with brushes, nor do the instructions say anything about brushes or brushing. And in my opinion if it survives the continual radiation blasting of the UV light, then I say let it live.

We bought the brushes separately as part of a "packaging". Didn't realize how much they would be needed. This machine is good but it has to be cleaned about every 10-14 days. We are amazed at the hair and algae that accumulates in the filter. If you have a bottle brush, it is all you need but you need something to clean this with! I would buy this again but definitely get the extra filters. We don't change them every time we clean but over time you will need. If you have a large dog, it will need to be filled often. We have two cats but visiting dogs empty it rather quickly. Hope this helps. We bought the brushes separately as part of a "packaging". Didn't realize how much they would be needed.

I'm not sure about the brushes, but I just used Q-tips & that seemed to work as well!

You could use all the brushes on planet earth..and you could not clean this thing. If u cleaned all the tubing, you would spend four hours a week cleaning it. Worst purchase I have ever made on Amazon

I got the started set over 2 years ago, I use them all the time and they still look brand new. Maybe your brushes are not original... Sorry :(

I have two sets of these brushes and haven't had an issue with shedding. Make sure you clean them often and let them air dry.

According to the instructions, there are three types of brushes that fit (normal, round, and the one shown on the box)The ones that I had for the previous brush fit along with the one in the box (one shown on the box)I can't speak for any brushes older than the previous model.SLL

The ones I received were true Sigma brushes. I have purchased from the Sigma websites directly and these are identical in brush weight, feel, texture.

Hi! Is it all the brushes or just the large brush? My fan brush shedded a lot but I didn't have issues with any of the others. With the large brushes you can literally brush them with a hair brush to free the loose bristles and then shake them firmly a few times. If its ALL the brushes, you might have gotten a bad batch. I would suggest contacting Amazon or Shany to see about a replacement set or refund. Hope this helped!

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...

I bought replacement brushes at Target....I bought the brushes that looked like the ones that came with. They R so expensive...would like to know a cheaper way to buy actually. I know this isn't much help. L

I wish I could help, I really dont know. However, they do look too small for your brush. I used the CT2.Good luck!

The original brushes seem to be rubber. I have ordered replacement brushes from Amazon with no issues.

They scratch. I returned mine and got the stanless steel which are wonderful. The MC2 ones also have handled which heat up

The bristles won't scratch stainless unless you are using an abrasive powder cleaner, in which case the cleaner will do the scratching. These bristles are fairly stiff but not abrasive.

The bristles seem to be just perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. I guess that would be a medium?? Hope this helps...I also purchased extra heads just in case, but the original seems to be holding up great!

Ive had no problems with this brushes or the dotting tools. I have used them as soon as i got them. It took some time to get here from hong kong 17 days. They work good!!! Thank you, good luck!!!

I love mine. I have looked at them in the store and they are the same. You can buy them at Kohls and Bed Bath and Beyond in the store. Compare prices and do the best deal. They were the same brushes for me. You can always send it back if you are not happy. .

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.
