Review (1/5): Died after 3 months!
I really enjoyed my previous Philips Sonicare rechargeable toothbrush, but after the wand stopped maintaining charge, I decided to replace it w/ this toothbrush. It was a big mistake! My rechargeable toothbrush lasted me several years. This battery-only toothbrush STOPPED WORKING no matter how many different NEW alkaline batteries I put in it.
The Philips batteries lasted me almost a month, and they must be potent, "miracle batteries". When I switched to Rayovac batteries they lasted 1/2 as long. Last week, the toothbrush stopped no matter how many batteries in the pack I put in. I put those batteries into other devices to see if I somehow bought a package of dead batteries. NO.
I now have the world's heaviest, impractical manual toothbrush. I wanted to try being untethered to a recharger, but the rechargeable Sonicares do go at least a week 2x/day before needing a charge. And to repeat, my old rechargeable one lasted me YEARS!!!
DO NOT BUY THIS, DO NOT BUY THIS, DO NOT BUY THIS! There are cheaper comparable battery powered toothbrushes. I wasted $30 in this experiment! I will be buying another rechargeable Sonicare. Because Sonicare DOES really truly clean teeth better than any other toothbrush.
