Review (5/5): Just what I needed.
When my old Sonicare Advanced died on me I wanted to get another but did not want to lug around another charger during travel nor have a cord cluttering the limited counter space both in home and in hotels. This thing is a great compromise as I keep AA rechargeable batteries on hand and ready for my cameras, anyway.
After about a month of use I am very satisfied with it.
PROS:
Oscillates as good or better than my old one.
Still on the original batteries.
I brush during my shower and the inside of the battery compartment is bone dry.
Cheaper than the rechargeable units.
Comfortable size.
CONS:
Marketed for teens? Pbbbllt. It can and should be used by everyone.
Doesn't come with a travel case.
Doesn't have the Quad Pacer® feature.
If the oscillating action seems weak, make sure the brush head is inserted correctly (bristles in line with the button) and the collar is on tight.
