Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS. Since I agree with all of the other 5 star ratings, I thought I would address the CONS from the less than 5 star ratings. And, there is no sense in repeating all of the great things in all of the excellent in-depth reviews on this Oral-B Toothbrush. Con: THE WIRELESS SMART GUIDE'S CLOCK CAN ONLY BE SET AT 12:00. Response: The wireless smart guide clock can be set to either 12 or 24 hour a day clock. And, I love having the clock sitting on my bathroom counter top to help me keep track of my morning schedule. Con: YOU REALLY DON'T NEED THIS PART AS IT ONLY TELLS YOU WHEN THE RECOMMENDED TIME OF 2 MINUTES IS DONE. Response: As is stated above, it is also a very accurate clock and can also keep track of the 45 second brushing cycles. I like this feature. Also, if you tend to brush too firmly a little red light flashes on the LCD screen and the pulsation of the brush stops. Con: You'll also receive a timer that reminds you when to move to a different quadrant of your mouth; a useless gimmick for an adult, in my opinion. Response: I am an adult and I still love this feature. It is very easy not to brush your teeth long enough especially if you are in a hurry. The timer doesn't allow this to happen. Now, some extra PROs: Previously I was a diehard Philips Sonicare user for many years. But, I was having some problems with my gums and deep plaque buildup. I finally decided that there must be something better and more effective. After much research online and with my dentist's input, I decided on the Oral-B. I absolutely love the deep cleaning feature and brush head. Actually, I never use any other head or brushing strength other than the deep cleaning mode and brush head. The brush head has numerous styles of bristles that accomplish different things from deep cleaning, removing plaque, cleaning between teeth, massaging gums, etc. You couldn't give me my Philips Sonicare back. My original hesitance was the price. But, it was worth the money considering I only have one set of teeth and gums. One minor CON: The user manual was not written to be user friendly. It does a poor job of explaining how to set the Smart Guide Clock features. Just be prepared to read it carefully and keep it nearby for a few days. When you consider all of the awesome features, the user manual is not worth losing a start or a half star.
