Switched from Sonicare and Prefer Oral B
I had been happily using Sonicare for about seven years.  I read positive reviews about Oral B and decided to try it.  A key reason I decided to try the Oral B is that I had to unscrew the brush head of the Sonicare once a week and clean the gunk out of it.  I hated doing this and often needed a cotton swab to clean the gunk out of the inside of the brush head.<br /><br />In contrast, the Oral B is much easier to clean.  After each brushing I just pull the bush head off and rinse it off and wipe everything off with a towel.  It takes less than a minute and the toothbrush is always clean.  The Sonicare takes much longer to clean and the process is less pleasant.<br /><br />But how does the Oral B clean?  The smaller brush head of the Oral B makes it easier to clean my back teeth and they are cleaner than they were with the Sonicare.  For my front teeth the two products are comparable.<br /><br />If you want to take the charger with you when you travel the Sonicare charger is smaller than the Oral B charger.  But for trips of a week or two taking the charger just isn't necessary.<br /><br />They both have 2 minute timers that prompt you to switch to different quadrant of your mouth every 30 seconds.  The Sonicare shuts off after 2 minutes but the Oral B signals that 2 minutes are up but keeps going in case you want to go for extra credit by brushing more than 2 minutes.  I just shut it off after 2 minutes.  I prefer the Sonicare approach on the timer but it's not a big issue for me.<br /><br />After 2 minutes, the Oral B leaves my teeth -- front and back -- squeaky clean and the brush and handle are easy to keep clean, which is nice considering that this is a tool that you put in your mouth. There is also a device to attach to clean your tongue which seems to work well.<br /><br />I'm glad I switched from Sonicare and wouldn't go back.  The Oral B leaves my mouth cleaner and is easier to maintain.
