Review (4/5): Very good, but the pro-health is better
I've been brushing my teeth wih oral-b for over 10 years now, and they are all similar to the vitality model. I've always used the least expensive model since I see no difference from the expensive ones, unless you are looking for "extras", like timer, lcd screen, etc. The vitality is a very good brush. I use the round head instead of the elongated. I rather brush my teeth with oral-b than any other eletric brush on the market. The sonic kind hurts my gum and it tickles a lot as well. Oral-B, and their entry level eletric brushes are the way to go. I can't brush my teeth with regular toothbrush anymore. Brush heads are cheaper on ebay but I found out they don't last as long as those you buy at grocery stores around $20 for 3. I buy the precision clean brush in bulk on ebay for around $1 each. They last a good 2 months. The ones at walmart/amazon and such last 3 months or more. The bad thing about the vitality rechargeable and all the older oral-b I own is that you need to recharge it after 3-4 days of 2-3 daily brushings. I think this is annoying. I didn't want to leave the brush recharging after every use. So I bought the ORAL-B Pro-Health that uses two AA batteries. It is simply AMAZING. The quality is the same as the rechargeables, but it is even better. The batteries lasts forever on the pro-health. I put 2 rechargeable AA (2000 MA) and the thing kept going and going without a noticeable lack of power for a good 2 months. It is the best. The vitality rechargeable brush gets very slow after 3-4 days. Not with the pro-health. Buy the pro-health. It is the way to go if you like this kind of ORAL-B design. Another thing is ORAL-B equipment lasts forever. I only have one eletric brush where the original rechargeable battery died on me. And since they are the entry level brushes, I just buy another one of the same. No need to buy another battery.
Again, go with the ORAL-B PRO-HEALTH eletric toothbrush.
