For years, the family have always used a Philips Sonicare toothbrush, and whilst we always thought that it was good at cleaning our teeth, it always annoyed us that the little nocks and crannies in the handle and under the head would always gather 'gunk' and were difficult to clean. A few months ago, the battery finally gave out and I started to look around for a new electric tooth brush for the family. Now for a long time, I've held a passing interest in the Oral-B models and what they claimed to be able to do, and now decided to look at them in earnest, where this Triumph 5000 model sits at the top of their model tree. With its Smart Guide remote feature and an ...  Read the complete review

In our house we have always used Braun Oral B electric toothbrushes - myself, husband and kids, but it has always been the ones on the cheaper end of the scale. The Triumph 5000 was given to me for Christmas, which I was quite pleased about because I don't think I could bring myself to fork out well over £100 on a toothbrush - no matter how many bells and whistles it has got. The toothbrush comes with a selection of heads, a base unit/charger, a timer (which is called the smart guide) and a carry case. The base unit also has space to store 4 brush heads. I was pleased with the inclusion of the brush heads, as Oral B makes so many different types and ...  Read the complete review

Price I paid 209Euro around £180 How much? Are you crazy? For a toothbrush? These are just some of the lovely questions people have asked me when they see this toothbrush in my bathroom.

This toothbrush has superior features such as five brushing modes and a large selection of ...  Read the complete review

I recently got this brush after feeling that my old manual was just not doing the job anymore and I felt I was struggling with my teeth and dental hygiene a bit. I bought this from my dentist but apparently you can get it from places like boots, Lloyds pharmacy and currys etc and there are often half price deals on at these places so you should be able to get one of these for about £60-80. A cool thing about this brush is that it comes with the little wireless smart timer. I've been finding I've been brushing my teeth for longer now that I have this as if you brush past 2 minutes you get a little smiley face!! The smart timer also tells you when ...  Read the complete review

Ever since hubby was faced with a recent bill from his dentist for £4000 I've become even more paranoid about caring for my teeth. I suppose they're in pretty good nick for a 58 year old ex-smoker but you never can tell.... I had a brilliant supersonic toothbrush for several years but found it increasingly difficult to purchase replacement heads for it and, a few weeks ago, it finally 'died' on me. Hubby bought me a middle-of-the range toothbrush which was adequate but i soon noticed my teeth didn't feel as clean nor as smooth. Luckily for me my eldest daughter asked what I'd like for a Birthday present and I requested a new toothbrush as I knew ...  Read the complete review
