Review (5/5): Much better than a regular toothbrush
I finally broke down and decided it was time to get a power toothbrush. I decided to go with the Oral-B over the Sonicare per dentist recommendation. I am very happy with the decision.
It does take a little time getting used to brushing with a power toothbrush over a regular one. You have to get used to letting the toothbrush do the work. You also have to get used to the pulsating action, it can feel a little weird the first couple of brushes.
I have been working on brushing for the full 2 mins, I don't find it that hard to do. It goes by pretty fast for me. I use the toothbrush's built-in timer.
I also don't have a problem with the toothbrush heads. I find I can reach the back teeth easier with this than a manual toothbrush. It is really not that uncomfortable for me either.
One thing I found that is an added bonus with this toothbrush are the "Made in" stampings on both the toothbrush and the charging base. I prefer to purchase as many things as I can that are made in America or Germany. It turns out both this toothbrush and charging base are made in Germany and not China.
I am also not certain about the reviews of this product stating that they meant to order the 7550 and got this toothbrush. I just ordered mine last week and I got what I ordered, the 7400.
I would recommend this toothbrush.
