My Best Toothbrush Yet
This is my fourth electric toothbrush (my first Sonicare), and it is the best I have ever owned. For several years I had heard that Sonicare makes a good product; but the price for a toothbrush whose rechargeable batteries couldn't be replaced, made me reluctant to try one. Well, the introduction of this product made my purchase a "no-brainer," and I couldn't be happier with it. My son owns a more expensive version, and the brushing action/speed are identical.<br /><br />The first week of use was a "ticklish" situation. The ultra-high speed vibration does startle one at first, but after a few days the tickle disappears. I know this is subjective, but the Sonicare makes my mouth does feel cleaner than it has with other toothbrushes.<br /><br />Some reviewers have complained about the battery compartment not sealing well, but this has not been a problem for me.  I don't drool when I brush, so water rarely gets to the battery hatch opposite the business end. I am also amazed that two AA alkaline batteries last almost three months.<br /><br />Now that I am on my third set of batteries, I know this much for sure. I don't want the expensive version of the Sonicare because it offers no real advantages (just bells and whistles), and I will continue to use this toothbrush until I have to replace it with another Sonicare just like it.
