Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Pros: - Cleans significantly better than a manual toothbrush - Charge lasts 3 weeks - Pulses to let you know when to move on to each section - Travel case is a big win. With my prior electric toothbrushes, I often ended up traveling with a manual just because I didn't have a convenient way to store the electric - Variety of modes is great for a whole spectrum of dental preferences Cons: - Like others have said, It's odd that you can't set the mode prior to turning it on and putting it in your mouth. It leads you to have to either count the number of times you push the button, or angle it so you can see the display in the mirror. - The instructions are very vague regarding the timer and quadrant pulses. I started with using the gum mode and thought I was following along switching quadrants every time it pulsed, but then found myself with an extra 4 or so pulses at the end that I didn't know what to do with. It would be nice if the instructions had a table that called out specifically when the pulses occur for each mode so we know when to move to the next section. - There's another model of sonicare that pulses when you push too hard. For the price of this one, I feel like it'd be nice if it had that feature too. - The glass charger is neat and a convenient storage place, but I think I'd prefer if it could stand straight up in its stand rather than let it lean against things. - The green charging indicator light is very dull and difficult to see in the daylight.
