Review (4/5): Love the brush - one caveat
Been using this brush now for a few months now - love using it! Cleans like crazy, but isn't too harsh on my gums or anything.
One thing I've discovered though is that it needs *good* batteries. When I put new, but cheap, batteries in, it acted like they were already dead. I actually changed the brush head assembly out too early because I thought something was wrong with it, when in fact putting *good* batteries in solved it.
Note that when there isn't enough juice, it doesn't slow down, it just randomly turns off.
Love the brush overall though :)
EDIT
After reading some of the other reviews, thought I'd mention a few things.
I minimize/prevent water damage to this by:
1. Use the minimum amount of water that I need
2. Shake the bristles after use and wipe off the whole thing with a paper towel
3. Store it immediately, don't leave it laying on a wet counter or anything. I don't do anything particularly special for storage - just put it in a drinking glass on the counter with our other toothbrushes. Obviously I make sure there isn't a pool of water in the glass.
Just what I do - seems to work for me.
