Good product - Does the job well, I can feel a difference in my gums after I use this vs. a regular toothbrush. The one I bought from Amazon.com broke: you have to be careful not to drop the brush or hit the head of the brush on anything. The head of my brush started coming off and eventually came off completely (it fell in the sink once and then it just started getting looser and looser). The good thing was that Oral B sent me a new one, free of charge, after I called them. I m being more careful with my new one, and so far so good.
Toothbrush - I purchased 2 toothbrushes over a year ago they both are still working great. My husband and I now have better cleanings at our dentist. This brush has a 2 minute timer the recommended time to brush. I have purchased the replacement brushes at Bed Bath & Beyond but the dentist has them for sale also.
broke down after 12 days - It worked great until yesterday when, after 12 days of use it wouldn t shut off, and now it won t turn on, it s kaput.
Works like a charm & price is right! - Was going to spend more on another brand but decided to give Oral B a try. Just the right size, battery holds adequate charge, timer works great, makes my mouth and teeth look & feel spectacular! The handle is small but works for me since I have small hands. Gets in all the nooks and crannies no problem. Also works in the shower. I love brushing my teeth now. Add flossing and a mouth rinse & your dental checkups will shine! Can buy 5 more and still come out ahead. Thanks Oral B!!
Indistinguishable from more expensive models - I originally purchased the far more expensive Braun/OralB Triumph toothbrush which is the top of the line model for around $100 from a local store. After taking it home, I realized that most of the advanced features such as the wireless LCD screen were kind of gimmicky. I returned it and based on the reviews here, purchased this Vitality model for around a sixth of the price. After using it, I noticed that there is absolutely no difference in the toothbrush mechanism and I am positive that both this and the much more expensive Triumph model give the exact same results. The only downsides i noticed were that this model lacks a charging indicator and it uses the slightly older NiCad battery tech. Also, if you travel internationally and need a multiple voltage charger, you may want to spring for the more expensive model because this one doesn t have that capability. For me, this wasn t an issue and with the money saved, I could probably stockpile enough replacement brush heads to last me a loooong time.
