I had one of these toothbrushes for about 18 months and was very impressed with how well it cleaned my teeth. It definitely made a sonic sort of vibrating which seemed to clean even better than the previous electric tooth brush I had with a circular head. The fact that the head was 'normal' toothbrush size meant you covered more teeth as you moved the brush along in your mouth. I didn't find the size a problem at the back of my mouth either, it cleaned my very back teeth really well.

The timer was great and let you know when to move from one part of your mouth to the next - the sound changed four times as you did front and back of both bottom and top teeth.

I liked the rather strange looking long handle. It was easy to hold and reach all parts of your mouth. It looked very modern too, sort of streamline and elegant.

I found the charger quite neat, not too large and it didn't take up too much room on the bathroom side. The disadvantage of the elegant long shape is that it has to sit in the charger as it will not stand on its own. I guess you could lie it down.

I found the only down side was that when I went to change the brush head I followed the instructions exactly but unfortunately I managed to break the toothbrush as the head didn't come off as it should and was not repairable. So if you get one or have one I suggest you change the head before the warranty is up in case this happens to you - at least you could send it back.

So in short it was a very good brush that did an excellent job of cleaning teeth but there is a design fault in the head changing mechanism.
