Five stars: Highly recommended
Pros:
Great price (I paid $40)
One speed (this is a big plus for me)
Excellent quality
Same 31,000 brush strokes per minute as other Sonicare electric brushes that cost twice as much
2 years global warranty
90 days money back guarantee
Charger included (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz)
Easy-start feature (for those who are new to electric brushing)
Quadpacer (during brushing it reminds you every 30 sec with a short beep and a pause)
Smartimer (shuts off automatically after 2 minutes)
Comes with NiMH battery (NiMH batteries have no memory). So you can leave it plugged in.
You can buy this model in different colors
Cons:
Rudimentary battery level indicator
Takes up to 48 hours to charge from 0 to 100%
Does not come with a travel case
Does not have a Lithium battery
Final thoughts :
I have been using sonicare for many years. In my personal opinion Philips toothbrushes are far more superior than Oral-b when it comes to plaque removal. I highly recommend this unit over more expensive models beause it does the same good job at half the price. Also I like the fact that it has only one speed (unlike its expensive siblings where you can accidently change speed during brushing). So if your primary goal is to clean and remove plaque then you just need one speed.
Don't hesitate buy it you will thank me later.
