They do work mostly
Since I've started using these my dental hygienist has raved about the condition of my gums. So I'm going to say the technology works. Unfortunately the execution of this particular device leaves something to be desired.<br /><br />I can't comment on these devices crapping out after one or two uses, but I have found that not all apparently dead ones are in fact done for. I've found that some will come back to life if they're charged correctly.<br /><br />The little metal pieces must be lined up just so and stay that way during the entire charge cycle. Unfortunately it's very easy to misalign the parts or to jostle them out of alignment.  A pair of magnifying eyeglasses and a very steady charging station are invaluable here.<br /><br />Although this has been a (temporary?) solution for me, this company is crazy to sell a consumer item whose maintenance is so exacting. They could at least warn people to take care when setting up the device for recharge.<br /><br />Please note that Starlight Smile also sells a corded device. I haven't used one so can't comment, but if recharging this one continues to be a nightmare, I'll probably try it. My gums and my hygienist are happy, and it's worth some trouble to keep that going.
