This model is the most basic of all the sonicare brushes, but at a very reasonable £22 on Amazon (RRP £50) it is also the most affordable. My dentist first started telling me to get a sonicare brush around 5 years ago. Not just an electric brush, he told me the best one for the job was a sonicare, as it works in a completely different way.

This toothbrush claims to brush deeper and give a cleaner, more thorough effect than any other brand of toothbrush. At £22 I was more than happy to put this claim to the test. I was pleasantly impressed with the results. For the first few days I did experience some discomfort and quite a bit of bleeding, however a couple of weeks on my gums are much healthier, my teeth are noticably whiter and cleaner.

For the first few days the very intense vibrations is certainly alarming, and seems very strong. However I got used to this suprisingly quickly and it doesn't bother me anymore.

One of my favourite features of this brush is that there is an inbuilt 2 minute timer, and the brush automatically turns off after this time. This means you start to get a better idea of how long you should be brushing your teeth for, and do a better job.

The biggest drawback to this brush is that it is battery operated. If you remember to use rechargables this isn't too much of an issue, but its a bit of a faff and an expense non the less.
