Advantages: Clean teeth!

Disadvantages: None

I got this for christmas last year and up until receiving it I had not had any experience of electric toothbrushes so I was a little wary about changing over from my manual toothbrush. I'm glad I did though as my teeth are cleaner and healthier and my dentist has never been so happy with them.

The package comes with a charging unit, head, main toothbrush and carry case. The charging unit has a two pin plug so you'll need a shaver adaptor plug unless your bathroom has one on the wall and lets face it, most don't!

The idea is that a couple can share the base of the toothbrush and just change the heads, therefore you're given coloured rings to identify which head is which.

The toothbrush is well powered and has several options, normal, sensitive and whitening which just adds an extra 30 seconds to the time for focusing on the front teeth.

The toothbrush times the brushing and signals every 30 seconds (stop vibrating for a split second) to show when to change to the next quarter of the mouth.

If you're not used to electric toothbrushes it also includes a mode where the vibrations gently increase each time you brush so it's not so much of a shock, this can be turned off though.

The toothbrush does seem to take a while to charge but does last quite a long time when one person is using it.

Overall it's a great toothbrush that I would recommend to anyone.

Summary: Excellent toothbrush.
