Review: My First Electric - I purchased this product after repeated requests by my doctor to "go electric" and using so many darn muscles to scrub my teeth with a boring old passive-bristle toothbrush. Out of guilt, I went online hours before i was scheduled to see my dentist, and hastily purchased the best-rated toothbrush with a reasonable price. Boy, did I luck out! This brush gives you a dentist-clean feel after EVERY brush. EVERY BRUSH! I went from brushing my teeth once, maybe twice a day (if I felt up to it) to brushing three times a day, after meals, after showers, after getting the mail... pretty much just for the heck of it! My brushing time has increased from an average of 37.3 seconds to well over 90 seconds because I can just FEEL my teeth getting cleaner. All kidding aside, the bristle action is firm but not painful. The battery lasts about ten days without a charge. The brush comes apart and fits easily into the pictured carrying case. Buy it. You won't regret it.
Review: Great toothbrush - I had the first generation Sonicare, which finally died on me after nearly ten years. The only practical and discernible difference between this one and my original Sonicare is that it doesn't beep every 30 seconds. So, if you need a reminder on when it's time to switch sections of the mouth (and it's worth $30+ to you), then you can upgrade to the next model. Otherwise, this does what you would expect a Sonicare to do: Give you a nice clean brushing. Using an electric toothbrush is the way to go for me because I tend to press too hard and compromise my already receding gums. The toothbrush came completely uncharged. I plugged it in before bed and it was done charging by the time I woke up. I used it until the light started blinking (telling me that the charge was low). Same thing, plugged it in at night and it was done by the morning. Each charge lasts about two weeks. From experience (as with all rechargeable electronics), the ability to hold a charge greatly decreases with age. Toward the end, my original Sonicare stayed in the charging cradle after each use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great toothbrush

I had the first generation Sonicare, which finally died on me after nearly ten years.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works well, no issues, don't believe the mold hype
*by W***Q on September 23, 2013*

I've been using this for about a year, and I've had no problems with it. People complain about the inside getting gross, but that's because they themselves are gross and don't clean it. Here's the cleaning ritual I have after every brush: 1. unscrew the top 2. rinse the handle 3. place handle on base 4. pop off the brush 5. rinse the screwy thing and the brush 6. pop brush back into the screwy thing 7. place the brush onto the handle (don't screw it back on, just place it on top) such that it's tilted, allowing the insides to air out This whole process takes like 12 seconds and costs about a tenth of a calorie, so don't even worry about it. The other thing people complain about is that this brush doesn't beep every 30 seconds or whatever, but that's also a non-issue. You're unable to brush your teeth if you don't know whether 30 seconds have passed? I don't think so. I think you CAN do it. Just believe in yourself. The unit is solid, very straightforward, and gets the job done. My last dentist visit was significantly better than when I was using a regular brush (of course, YMMV depending on your oral hygiene). It's hard to imagine needing another electric brush. It's also good for traveling; for trips shorter than 2 weeks, you don't even need the base, because the battery lasts about 2 weeks. Lastly, if you have sensitive teeth, you can buy sensitive replacement head assembly thingies (whatever they're called), which I've been using for the past month or so.
