Review (5/5): Why did I wait so long?
I admit it, I put off buying the Sonicare because I couldn't justify the price. Several times my dentist asked me "So when you gonna get that Sonicare?". Yet after seeing the price I just couldn't do it. So instead I bought a knock-off. You know the ones. Only 1/2 the price and full of all the same promises. Yep, I bought one and liked it alot too. Until the brushes started wearing out some little mechanical piece inside after 1-2 weeks. So every 1-2 weeks I had to shell out the cash for a new brush head.
Finally I broke down and bought this unit for me and my wife. What a difference! It takes a little getting used to the first few times you use it but what a job it does.
The two-minute timer is great. I never brushed long enough using a standard brush so this makes sure that I get the job done.
The 30-second reminder is a cool function that lets you know every 30 seconds to move to a different part of your mouth.
The recharger is small and simple with a light on the handle to let you know when it is fully charged. I went a week without charging the brush and it still worked just fine.
Don't wait any longer. If you are looking at the Sonicare you KNOW it's a good brush. The question you are asking though is the same one I asked myself. Is it worth it? Well, the real question should be, are your teeth worth it?
