Wonderful product
I'm in my mid-sixties and this is the FIRST electric toothbrush I've owned.  I've always considered my brushing technique effective and never thought I needed to add another electrical appliance to my life.  Then a bit of gum recession and concerns expressed both by my dentist and a periodontist to whom I was referred made me re-think my oral hygiene.<br /><br />I bought this toothbrush after some research and am delighted with it.  I brush two minutes twice a day and my teeth have never felt cleaner, except perhaps immediately after professional cleaning and polishing.  The toothbrush stands to one side of my sink, returning to the charging base only when the red light begins to flash.  The charging base is tucked away in the kitchen.  Occasionally I inadvertently press the button turning the toothbrush off but on reflection I don't believe there is a better location for the button.  The toothbrush does lose a bit of energy over time as the battery wears down but it still does an excellent job of cleaning.  I get almost two weeks of brushing before it is necessary to recharge the unit.<br /><br />Finally, although I haven't bought replacement brushes as yet, one of the reasons I opted for the Oral-B toothbrush is the reasonable price of replacement brushes.  This is what I call good value for money.
