Advantages: Looks nice...? No noise to speak of

Disadvantages: too expensive, difficult to use, doesn`t do its job

When I chose to pay the sum of 55.99 for this electric toothbrush from Omron, I expected to be given a product of very good quality, a product almost superior to its other competing brand, the very reliable Braun, Braun not even close to costing as much as this model from Omron. So let me jhust be frank and say, go with Braun if you ever consider to buy yourself an electric toothbrush, because this model, expensive as it is, fails miserably!

First of all, in the beginning, I had quite a lot of difficulty learning how to use it, as I am not an engineer or something to that account, and therefore was irritated when I didn`t get a hang of it right away. There are for instance several speeds to choose from, and while the lowest speed doesn`t have an effect at all, the highest speed makes the teeth feel like they`re being polished away, not comfortable, I tell you! But in spite of the very high level of speed, the weird thing is, this electric toothbrush doesn`t make my teeth and mouth feel in any way more cleaned and refreshed than an ordinary toothbrush does, and that`s why I am so disappointed by this expensive Omron! I have used it for several months now, and I still don`t feel like it does a very good job cleaning my teeth, and where as my older Braun model makes my teeth feel very well cleaned and refreshed, this toothbrush fails to do so! I have no good explaination as to why it doesn`t work for me, it just doesn`t!

All though it looks expensive and is just that, this electric tootbrush fails to clean my teeth in the way I expect it to do, and because of that I cannot recommend you to buy it, and would instead urge you to go for the more reliable brand, Braun.

Expensive and looking flashy, but not a good choice.

Summary: Not a good electric toothbrush, not recommended
