Comment:
I have been using a sonicare toothbrush for at least 20 years. I absolutely love it. My dental Hygenist is always impressed with the way I take care of my teeth and all I do is floss and use the sonicare. <br />The last 2 brushes have had a problem with liquid getting inside the battery housing unit. It gets brown and smells very nasty. It is very important to wipe the brush dry when done and be sure to clean the inside at least once a week. I have reported this problem to Phillips

I was disappointed to see that I could get it at least 10.00 cheaper after I purchased it.And I did check to see who had the lowest price on the internet.

An Excellent Electric Toothbrush

Will save your money from dentist
Weakness
A little noise
This Sonicare works great. After I use, my teeth feel cleaner than they ever felt using a regular toothbrush. My wife and I both use the same base and switch brushes easily with a couple turns of the brush on or off. Has a built in timer to let you know when to switch from one area of mouth to another. Turns itself off at the end of the cycle. This toothbrush will save me from expensive gum cleaning.
