I really like this toothbrush. Finding replacement brush heads is turning out to be difficult and expensive when I can.

I bought this product over a week ago. I had been without an electric toothbrush for a couple of months since my old old old Sonicare charger died. I couldn't afford to buy another expensive toothbrush so I went for a Vitality. I was skeptical at first but once I started using it, I notice my plague has been reduced drastically... something I couldn't have done by hand brushing. I have been very impressed and happy with this product. In terms of replacement tips, they are readily available at Target and Amazon. They are cheaper than the circular or dual action tips. They are most definitely cheaper than the Sonicare ones.

This brush was recommended to me by my own dentist. He wanted me to try a sonic brush, but avoid paying the very high prices out there. The results so far have been nothing but very clean teeth and gums. There is also a 2 minute timer which helps a lot. I dont understand the negative feedback with a $20 brush. Yeah, it only has a 20,000 vpm instead of the 30,000 vpm expensive sonic brushes... but your cost is a fraction of those. Great buy forthe money.

I have an Oral B Sonic Complete, which I really like. I bought the Oral B Sonic #S12513 for my daughter in college. It has about half the power of the Sonic Complete, but cost about $90 less, so I guess you get what you pay for.

The closest thing that can be compared with this product is my cellphone, they do vib at almost same level..... maybe i should attach the brush head to my cellphone instead..... if you really need some good sonic toothbrush, get s-200 instead. cost $50 but you won't return it....

Length:: 1:45 Mins

It is simply way too weak, compared to the similarly priced Philips e3000 or more expensive Sonicare. Don't get me wrong, the e3000 is also garbage because water leaks in and breaks it.

To let you get an idea about how weak it is: it vibrates at 20,000Hz while the Sonic Complete S-200 vibrates at 29,400 in Soft mode (31,000 in Clean mode).

Oral-B says the soft mode is for brushing tongue and soft tissue. I.e., this thing at its full power is still far more softer than soft, how can it do any clean job to anything at all?

I was happy with my old Oral-B which lasted for years ( it did not have the timer), so I purchased the model 9513 to replace it. This new one lasted only 4 months. it has a faulty power switch and turns off only when it wants to. I see they replaced this model completely. The old model had a large charger that the cord could be stuffed into and then you could plug the charger stand directly into the outlet, hanging from the outlet and getting it off the counter. great feature, too bad none of the new ones can do that.

for the money. It doesn't brush, actually, it vibrates which took some getting used to.

Way too weak to do any sonic cleaning. Stopped working in less then a year. Do not buy this toothbrush. Spend a lil more and beg a phillips

I have been using this brush for a couple years but I dropped and broke it so I had to get a new one. Disappointingly (word-check?), the new one I received did not have as much sonic-power as my last one did. Not sure if it was just a design/process change, faulty product or what... Normally, this is a great brush.
