Died after 3 months!
I really enjoyed my previous Philips Sonicare rechargeable toothbrush, but after the wand stopped maintaining charge, I decided to replace it w/ this toothbrush.  It was a big mistake!  My rechargeable toothbrush lasted me several years.  This battery-only toothbrush STOPPED WORKING no matter how many different NEW alkaline batteries I put in it.<br /><br />The Philips batteries lasted me almost a month, and they must be potent, "miracle batteries".  When I switched to Rayovac batteries they lasted 1/2 as long.  Last week, the toothbrush stopped no matter how many batteries in the pack I put in.  I put those batteries into other devices to see if I somehow bought a package of dead batteries.  NO.<br /><br />I now have the world's heaviest, impractical manual toothbrush.  I wanted to try being untethered to a recharger, but the rechargeable Sonicares do go at least a week 2x/day before needing a charge.  And to repeat, my old rechargeable one lasted me YEARS!!!<br /><br />DO NOT BUY THIS, DO NOT BUY THIS, DO NOT BUY THIS!  There are cheaper comparable battery powered toothbrushes.  I wasted $30 in this experiment!  I will be buying another rechargeable Sonicare.  Because Sonicare DOES really truly clean teeth better than any other toothbrush.
