Not as vigorous as the Philips Sonicare
The Panasonic is very small body tooth brush.  It has 3 settings accessed by sequentially pushing the Mode button for white, soft and sensitive.  The white is the most vigorous.the software reduces the vibrations and the sensitive modulates the vibration at a 1/2 second rate.  I dont see the advantage of ever using any mode that isnt full on.  It came with a small carrying case so the Panasonic would easily fit into a small purse.  The brush is easily detached.  It came with a 2 of brush attachments for gum massage and a small stand to hold them. I compared it to my existing Sonicare and the Panasonic is much less vigorous in it movement and seems to stall easier when pressed against suggesting the motor is not as strong.<br /><br />I much prefer the more vigorous movement of the Sonicare as I think it would do a much better job of brushing.  Its ok if you need a small sonic brush if you travel occasionally but not as a full time brusher.
