Lightweight, quiet and works well
I've been using Braun electric toothbrushes with reciprocating/rotating brush heads for several years and have been happy with the results, but I had heard that the Sonic type often rated better.  After using this unit, I'm thinking that alternating between the two might be the ideal solution.<br /><br />In terms of this specific brand, I was impressed with its ease of handling, light weight, and quiet operation.  It is effortless to hold and its four 30-second cycles encourage you to brush the full two minutes that dentists recommend.  After using the reciprocating type brushes, the vibrating brush seemed a bit odd at first, but I quickly got used to it and even enjoyed the sensation.  It would seem to be an ideal candidate for a travel.<br /><br />On the slightly negative side, the packaging is unimpressive, the directions are a bit confusing, the light weight could suggest fragility, and there is a question about availability of compatible brush heads in the future. Since it doesn't come with a base, brush cover or carrying case, there is an issue of what to do with it when not brushing. I defaulted to laying it flat on a washcloth.  I see no particular reason for six cycles, as I expect most folks will almost always use it at setting number one.  Since the vendor has chosen to provide two complete brush sets in an order, it would seem that they intended for two different people to use them.  In that case, you would expect them to come in different colors.
