Review (4/5): Great for older kids & adults
Our whole family loves this toothbrush! My 14 year old & 9 year old have been using the small brush heads for a few years now. I love the timer function because it lets them know just how long they need to brush & I know they're getting a good cleaning. It did take some time to adjust to the level of brush "vigor" when they started using it, but it didn't take long, & it didn't make their gums bleed or anything bad like that.
I use it all the time & absolutely love the clean it gives my teeth. My husband does not use it because even the regular size head is too small for his preference. He would use it if they made a large size head.
The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the unit is not waterproof. By that, I mean that if I leave my brush head attached to the base unit for, let's say a week, then when I open it to take my brush head off, there is black mold growing on the inside of the handle & the inside of my head base. Not that it ever comes in contact with my mouth, but I just wish it didn't happen...it's easy to clean out & not that big of a deal. Maybe the instructions say to remove the brush head after every use...the mold could be my fault. Just know that if you leave your brush head attached to the base, check the inside for growing mold every once in a while!
Overall, this is the best toothbrush I've ever owned. I would purchase another one for anyone looking for a toothbrush!
