Advantages: Ges teeth smooth and clean

Disadvantages: Long charge time

I was always a bit sceptical about electric tooth brushes, always thinking they were just for lazy people however having take the plunge in the January sales and picked up this Braun Oral B Professional Care 5000 tooth brush I have come to appreciate the benefits of an electric toothbrush.

I opted for the precision head one as I have a small mouth and quite small teeth so I wanted something where I had control over the accuracy of the brush head. It certainly has some powerful oscillations and my teeth are not only clean but very smooth when I run my tongue over them. One of the things I like about this toothbrush is the fact that it has a two minute timer so you know how long you have been brushing for.

It is easy to clean as the head can be removed by a simple twist action from the main body of the brush and then it can be rinsed under warm water, it is best to clean the two parts seperately. The bristles have colour markings so you can see when it startss to get worn and needs replacing, I get between two to three months use out of a brush head, I'm close to changing for the third time soon.

The charge is petty good, when fully charged you get about two weeks use based on two brushes a day, it does takea rather long 16 hours to fully charge from flat however you can leave it on the charger all the time without risk to the battery however you are meant to run it down every so often for a full charge, I tend not to leave it on the charger all the time but let it run down and then charge fully over night.

I love this brush, it is easy to use and maintain and it really does a good job cleaning my teeth especially with the small precision head.

Summary: Great electric toothbrush
