Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Equipped with a pressure sensor that activates the brush head only when light pressure is applied to teeth, this electric toothbrush prevents the common problem of brushing too hard. Because the brush head's bristles are soft, further protection is afforded teeth and gums. And because the brush head is round it's easy to manipulate around teeth, even for children. For thorough cleaning, the bristles simultaneously oscillate and move up and down. A timer reminds a user to continue brushing for two minutes, the minimum time recommended by dentists. For family use or for the future, the toothbrush comes with three brush heads, two of which store under a hinged cover in the charging base. The toothbrush carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

By A Customer

This is my first electronic toothbrush and I really am a convert. My teeth are noticeably cleaner and the price for this brush is amazingly low compared to other brushes

1.0 out of 5 stars Not reliable, May 31, 2003

6 1/2 months after getting this item, it's dead as a doornail. It's not like we brush our teeth all day long -- shouldn't it have been able to withstand normal morning/evening use by two ordinary adults for at least a year? First, it started to vibrate uncontrollably, even when not being used; then it just stopped.

I guess we'll go for a different brand next time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pressure feature is great!, October 28, 2004

I have had this toothbrush for over two years, and it works as great now as the day I got it. In my opinion, the pressure feature is the best part about this brush. I was recommended this brush by my dentist, after it became apparent that I was wearing holes in my enamel by brushing too hard (not helped by having 'soft' teeth, either).

This toothbrush 'trains' you to brush with the right pressure (believe me, a very hard habit to break). It also has a 2 minute timer, with automatic shut off, so you know how long to brush. Talk about proper toothbrushing for dummies! :) Now I no longer need to use this brush to make sure that I don't brush so hard, but I love how clean my teeth feel with this toothbrush, and the brush replacements are so cheap (and easy to get at Target or Walmart) why stop using it? :)
