Review (5/5): Favorite Electric Toothbrush Yet
I have been using electric toothbrushes for years, so this review is comparing this electric toothbrush to the others I've used.
The thing I love most about this toothbrush is no splatter! I love how clean electric toothbrushes get my teeth, but they all splatter somewhat when you have to spit, and the last one I bought was the worst. My bathroom mirror looked dirtier than the kids' most of the time. But I have no issues with this toothbrush. The base with holder is larger than what I like, but the holder is easily removable to make the base smaller, not much bigger than the toothbrush base. This toothbrush is lighter and slimmer than my other electric toothbrushes. It charges for a long time. I took it on a 9 day trip and it stayed charged the whole time. According to the manual a full charge will last for 90 minutes, so two minutes a day, twice a day would be a whopping 22 days of usage before needing a recharge. It also seems to get my teeth even a little bit cleaner than my other electric toothbrushes. I'm about due for my next dentist's appointment, but after using this toothbrush my teeth almost have that just-polished feeling to them. I do not press hard at all, just let the toothbrush do its work as is advised with all electric toothbrushes. As the manual stated I might, I did feel a bit of a tickling sensation the first time or two I used it, but not since. I did not feel any of the weak ionic electric current in my hand, as the manual also stated is possible for some users.
The one thing I do not like is the timer mechanism. It doesn't show you the actual time brushed, just signals once every thirty seconds then twice every two minutes. A lot of times I am not paying that close of attention. With my old toothbrush I could just take a quick look at the timer to see the actual time, but with this one there is no way to know if I've gone over time or not long enough until I go another full two minutes. I wish at least it would buzz twice every thirty seconds once the two minutes has been reached.
Two things I don't like about this toothbrush are no actual timer and no battery indicator.
