Colgate ActiBrush

My Colgate Actibrush was an impulse purchase, while buying toothpaste in Asda. I'd always wanted an electric toothbrush since i was young, but it was purely the novelty factor than attracted me, so it had never been high on my list of prority purchases. Really i thought the idea a little silly, and thought it the toothbrush for people too lazy to brush their teeth. But anyway I ended up buying one, and now I wish I'd bought one years ago. My teeth have never felt this clean and shiny all the time. The first time I used it, it was a bit peculiar. It's an odd sensation and takes a little getting used to. It says on the packaging that your gums may ...  Read the complete review

Hello! and welcome to this review. Now what can I write about a toothbrush? Im sure I will find something:) So hear we go. Well I used to own a Philips Sonicare brush that I paid a whopping £119 for!! But I had a bit of an accident. Down the loo went my lovely Philips, mainly because of my damn clumsy hands! Oh well. It was not the end of the world, just had to search for a new one. The bank funds were quite low two weeks ago when this happened, so I thought I better get a cheap brush. Off I went to savers! Savers ****** Savers is a nice shop located in the centre of Swansea Town, it has a big blue sign on the ...  Read the complete review

My parents have recently "converted" to electronic toothbrush users and are very happy with them. It's saved them money at the dentist they told me at which point my frugal ears pricked up and I decided to give it a go! There seem to be two types of power to them either batteries that you put in yourself or plug it in and recharge an inbuilt battery. The inbuilt may be easier but we use rechargeable AAs ones anyway so I wasn't biased as to which type I went for. There were cheaper supermarket own brand ones or more expensive well known make ones. The own brand ones tended to look rather cheap and were disposable so I was biased in ...  Read the complete review

I love those toothpaste adverts, you know, the ones where the beautiful supermodels smile at you and it seems like all the light in the room is reflected from their mouths. It's amazingly funny how their teeth make that great little pingy noise and glare a blinding whiteness as if they have been bathing their teeth in Daz for a week. Isn't it funny that some adverts are still living in the past?? Well Colgate aren't with their brand new product - the battery operated toothbrush! Just bobbing around Tesco's I first saw this product. "An electric toothbrush for £12?" was my first thought and well.. what's the difference? Both of them need charging ...  Read the complete review

I have had this toothbrush for a few years now and it always does the job nicely. I had always used an electric toothbrush since I was about 13. First my parents had a rechargeable that we each had a different brush head for, so I used that until I moved out but then I still wanted a powered toothbrush but didn’t want to spend the money to get a rechargeable. And so I bought one of these. **Appearance** What first attracted me to the toothbrush was the nice blue/white colour. It is made mainly of white plastic with a blue rubber base which makes it easier to grip. The two buttons (on/off) are also on a blue panel. I think you can get it in ...  Read the complete review
