Review (4/5): It does a better job than brushing with regular tooth brush.
Although I never had good experiences with Philips' products, and with other electric toothbrush brand like Braun oral B, and recently I found 20 bucks on the ground , so I don't really care if it does not last long, after reading some bad reviews that water gets inside the battery compartment, which I see is happening, but still I'm sure I'll find the way around it after the 2 years warranty expires.
Now, for the intended job, cleaning your teeth, is much better than the moving action from Oral B Braun, the 2 minutes limit bothered me a bit, but it takes seconds to turn on again and back to the job. And I do feel my teeth more slippery after using it.
The included batteries lasted for 3 weeks and the unit won't operate as powerful as with a new fresh set of batteries, this thing is really powerful. So , don't judge the unit's power with the batteries supplied.
The handle is one of the reason I took one star off, it becomes very slippery and when you need to turn around the toothbrush you need to use both hand, so it does not fall from my hand, unless you are not like me, that I realized that I use my other hand to lean on the sink, probably won't find it awkward, but otherwise is not big deal.
If it fail, I will update this review and let you know how not surprised I was.
