Does the brush head touch the bottom of the holder, or is it held above the bottom? Grosses me out to have the brush sit in its drain water. Thanks!

The brush head is at the end of the shaft handle, however, the brush holder drains the wet brush into a basin which means the brush does NOT sit in it's drain water. The design is such that the basin can be removed periodically and cleaned. The small amount of water that does get to the basin probably evaporates overnight between uses.

I have mine sitting on the right corner of the bathroom sink. It has never fallen over. It holds a blow dryer, 1 flat iron, 1 curling iron, and on the back compartment brushes & combs. I do not have it hanging on anything.

I've had no problem with the handle, or with the entire brush. Will order another one I need the next one.

Mine has and i read that you have to stick a paper clip sized item into the drain hole to clean out debris. I did but I still have the drainage problem. I am trying to avoid buying a cleaning cartridge. Is it possibly the reason for the drain clog? I am disappointed that the charger base does not do it's job of draining out the water anymore. I now use the base unit to dry the shaver head and charge only.

Yes, the base in which holds the toothbrush is also the charger. The brush head holder is also a part of the base. It holds 4 brush heads and has a lid that protects them.

It's on the back along the right edge (if you're looking at the unit from the back) about midway up. It is recessed and the flexible drain tube could probably be curved to facilitate running the drain tube down the back or the side. I use the reservoir instead of the drainage tube since it's front loaded and easy to access. I've been very happy with these units.

There is a little rubber edge that gives it some grip to the floor. because our drain is the lowest point in the shower, unless you make an effort to kick it, it doesn't seem to be much of an issue for us. Hair does seem to flow under the edge though.

Yes, it drains great! I have never had water holding/standing in it. However... it does have a "rock" imprint on the floor, and dirt/leaves can get trapped. but I just brush it out!! had this 1yr and I LOVE IT!!!! very sturdy, very strong, my 2 kids LOVE it. Wish we bought it sooner!!!

I did get a silverware holder with mine, be sure to get the drain board to put under it (Rubbermaid 1180MABISQU Drainer Tray).

I use a Badger brush and hang it with the bristles down, with the top of the handle resting on the holder arm. In a perfect world, not satisfied with it... but world's not perfect and neither is holder but it works.

I have a drainboard under mine too. If the other customer didn't get a utensil holder it got missed because it it supposed to come with one. Mine did.

It is removable BUT you should know that removing it is sometimes more difficult than it should be. The brush head doesn't have any gripping ridges on it -it's smooth. Pulling the head off can be tricky when it's wet, especially if you've slopped a little toothpaste bubbles on it. My wife and I were sharing a brush handle at first but I quickly decided to buy a second brush so we wouldn't have to be pulling the brush heads off all the time. (It is NOT necessary to remove the brush head to rinse it.)

The bottom of mine broke (the connecting tabs) but hasn't interfered with the performance of the toothbrush, at all. I might have put it on at the wrong angle because it sounds like the bottom holds up for a lot of other people.

Battery bay its in the bottom. (soap refill is in the top) Even my sloppy children (ok me too) soak the area it sits in and it's been fine the 4 mo I've had it. No water seeping in to battery area.

Read the product info that came with the toothbrush. At the top of page 6 it says, "The brush head holder is dishwasher-safe. Never place the charger in dishwasher or water. It should be cleaned with a damp cloth only." One would glean from that that the brush head holder could be used in the shower.

I have the same problem. It's very annoying. Only thing I can think of is to tape it but then it would be a pain when you need to put the brush attachment on. Poorly designed.
