Just what I needed.
When my old Sonicare Advanced died on me I wanted to get another but did not want to lug around another charger during travel nor have a cord cluttering the limited counter space both in home and in hotels.  This thing is a great compromise as I keep AA rechargeable batteries on hand and ready for my cameras, anyway.<br /><br />After about a month of use I am very satisfied with it.<br /><br />PROS:<br /><br />Oscillates as good or better than my old one.<br />Still on the original batteries.<br />I brush during my shower and the inside of the battery compartment is bone dry.<br />Cheaper than the rechargeable units.<br />Comfortable size.<br /><br />CONS:<br /><br />Marketed for teens?  Pbbbllt.  It can and should be used by everyone.<br />Doesn't come with a travel case.<br />Doesn't have the Quad Pacer® feature.<br /><br />If the oscillating action seems weak, make sure the brush head is inserted correctly (bristles in line with the button) and the collar is on tight.
