Review (5/5): Nice value
10-year-old super mega-brand vs. SOGUE:
1. The SOGUE operates 10K VBM (vibrations/minute) faster. That's why I choose the SOGUE.
2. Generic replacement brushes aren't interchangeable between the two. The SOGUE has a smaller shaft. The brushes are also smaller.
3. The SOGUE comes with like a year's supply of brushes, unlike the super mega-brand. They are just a tad softer than I prefer. It took me some years to technically discriminate my preferred bristle adjective (soft, medium, hard) for re-order. My brush changing rule is 'new brush for every recharge' as brushes are now so inexpensive. The charges on these toothbrushes have got to be the longest-lasting rechargeable device in the house. It seems like months go by on a charge.
4. The SOGUE and brush are about a quarter smaller. It's a noticeable difference. After a minute of thought, I think smaller is likely better as your teeth and the spaces in between are much smaller than you think. Maybe it's getting in tighter corners.
5. The SOGUE charges in like 2 hours vs. overnight for the super mega-brand.
I was looking at the super mega-brand's newest models at the big-box store. The price is absurd given all the competition from suppliers like SOGUE. The latest super mega-brand models appear the same size as the SOGUE. At a third of the price and assuming the charge life is long, it's a no-brainer. I'll adapt. Most of the difference between the two is a matter of personal preference.
SOGUE wins for now. Better than advertised.
