Review (4/5): Delecate, But Good
I used to have a Sonicare a long time ago. You know, the VERY expensive plug-in one. Yes, it worked like a dream (just like they say). My DDS could tell the difference. But having another thing to plug-in in our tiny bathroom was a hassle and after about a year the charger was mucked up beyond control. Most embarrassing! Years went by and new dental problems arose. After going through the joys of a root plaining, I was looking for a new Sonicare. I saw this one and loved that it was battery operated and had a smaller head. I didn't need all the bells and whistles on the other models. Just the auto-timer.
The first one that came died in 2 days. WAHHH! Amazon kicked butt and sent us a replacement right away. We've had the new one for a month now and it's still going strong. I think the first one was just defective.
It does go through batteries pretty quick, so I highly suggest you get re-chargeable batteries. My DDS noticed a difference within the month. It's totally worth it, and a great price! It ends up being cheaper than the disposable electric brushes we were using.
A good family brush for all ages. Easy to use, even for kids.
