Review (4/5): 17 months and still going strong
This is definitely the most inexpensive entry into the Sonicare line. Well worth the price.
Likes:
-Uses AA batteries, either disposable or rechargeable. Works great with Sanyo Eneloop or similar "pre-charged" rechargeable batteries.
-Very inexpensive
-Uses same technology and brush heads as the far more expensive models.
Dislikes:
-Lacks some of the features of the higher-end models, such as the little beep that prompts you to move on to a different quadrant of your mouth.
-No indication of low battery. When the batteries are done, they're DONE. Leaves me running around with a mouthfull of toothpaste while fumbling to replace the batteries.
I've had mine for about 17 months with no issues other than periodic brush and battery replacement. Recently added two more to the household for the kids.
