Review (4/5): Excellent
I have had the earlier version of this Braun electric toothbrush for ten years. I have been pleased with the old one, and was happy to have the chance to get this newer version of this trusted tooth brush.
First, both the old and new model do an exceptional job of cleaning your teeth. The small oscillating brush reaches those tough to get to problem areas like behind your rear teeth, and the inward side of all your teeth. Particularly, it really gets the back side of the front teeth clean, all the way to the gum line.
The handle recharges by simply parking it in the base unit when not in use. There is nothing to plug in, it is inductively coupled, so just setting it on the base unit keeps it charged up.
There are several things I like better about this unit, compared to the old one I have. The charging base has been redesigned, and looks nicer and more streamlined.
The only thing I did not like as well about this one compared to the old one is that this new unit is louder than the old one. The old Braun unit was very quiet, and just had a pleasant humming sound. This is much more of a loud buzz. The reason I only gave this one four stars is because of the noise level.
I feel this unit is well worth the money, and does an exceptional job of keeping all areas of your teeth clean. The little toothbrushes that fit on the unit last a long time, so the set up represents an excellent value overall.
