4.0 out of 5 stars Sonicare: small and cleans well BUT..., November 21, 2007

Here's the quick read: start DENTIST clean every day.

The basic Sonicare uses UV light to really clean SELECTED toothbrush heads. If you've already dropped over a hundred bucks on a Sonicare E toothbrush, this tiny, vertical cleaner is a gem of a product and works! Tap and leave operation, I'm impressed and very happy BUT it is limited to a small range of products and I strongly recommend that you make sure that it fits your heads (but in truth, it works for both my Sonicare heads and my wife's brand, but with this, if it doesn't fit, get a new toothbrush that does!).

This is a UV cleaner: LIGHT! No big sloppy mess. I've always just washed off my toothbrush but WOW! what a difference, and for the investment, a really smart solution that we really like. You get one set of teeth and gums: treat them like you treasure them. This sells for around $50; that's nothin' compared to dental problems.

Hope it lasts for a while!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting and Pleasing Product (B+ Grade), December 1, 2007

I am usually an old fashioned toothbrush user. But since I was given the chance to try out this product, I thought, "why not?"

It is pefect for people who like electronic toothbrush care. Also for hygenie and cleanlinesss, this product is the best bet. The only issue is that you have to buy their attachments, especially the brush part. But overall I was pleased and others who have used this product give it their stamp of approval.

The price maybe be a bit off putting, but overall a good investment, especially if you are concern about good teeth care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peace of Mind, November 26, 2007

This product offers great peace of mind and could potentially save you money. If you are like me, after an illness you throw out the brush heads or soak them in nasty bleach to keep from reinfecting yourself. The Sanitizer kills germs that are on the toothbrush and doesn't require me to get a new one after a cold or the flu. This is costly since we have four brushers in my house. The sanitizer also fits both our Oral B heads and Sonicare heads and comes with special holders to accomodate different heads. The best part is that it is so easy that my 10 yr old does it by himself...just open the door, put the head (or heads since it does 2 at a time) inside, close the door, and hit the button. A cool blue light shows you that it's working and in 10 minutes your toothbrush head is cleaned free of germs.
