Buy this! You won't be sorry!
I researched this on here before buying it. I've never had a Sonic toothbrush before, but have used the spin-type ones before that you can buy at the pharmacy or grocery store. They're loud and are ok, but for the most part, at least the ones I've previously bought, you can't just change the brush. You have to throw the entire unit away and replace it when it wears out.<br /><br />First of all... Make sure you charge it before you use it the first time. It comes with 2 brush heads. Replacements can be purchased here for around 10 bucks, or so. Not bad.<br /><br />Secondly... It's quiet! It doesn't sound like a jackhammer in your mouth. Such a nice and welcome change. I wasn't expecting it to be so quiet, so this was an added bonus.<br /><br />Thirdly... There are 5 different settings to play around with and choose from. Try each of them out, and decide for yourself which one works best for you.<br /><br />There's a pre-set 2 minute timer in it that briefly stops the brush every 30 seconds to indicate moving to a different part of your mouth. Divide the areas in your mouth into 4 and each time the brush stops, move to the next area. I really enjoy this feature. It ensures that you're brushing for 2 minutes. In the past, I thought I'd been brushing long enough, but now that it's being timed? I know I wasn't.<br /><br />I've never had a Sonicare, or the fancy Oral B ones before, so I can't compare this brush to those, but this one FAR out-performs the spin-type brushes.  My teeth have never felt cleaner. I really does feel like I've had my teeth professionally cleaned at the dentists.<br /><br />This is a great investment. I'll be giving these out as gifts to my loved ones this Christmas as little stocking stuffers.
