Fantastic Toothbrush, Good Value, January 5, 2009
This review is from: Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 9950 Rechargeable Toothbrush Special Edition
A Great toothbrush, well worth the money. I purchased this 2-handle pack for my wife and I, but I was a little bit skeptical buying from "Hi-Tech Market" instead of amazon, but they were the only ones selling this 2-handle pack. After purchasing, the package was waiting outside my door 3 days later. Fantastic!
The package includes: 2 handles, 3 brushheads (2 flossaction, and one polishing), 1 travelcase, 2 Smart Guide displays, but only ONE charger, and base. Having only one charger is fine when both toothbrushes are used in the same home. The battery lasts for about 2 weeks, so having to share a charger isn't a problem. The charger and "base" are seperable, meaning that both toothbrushes still have a stand. One stands in the charger, and the other one in the silver/blue base. Genious! Whenever you need to charge, you just switch the toothbrushes. The charger IS also Europe-friendly. This was very important to me as I also live overseas. The charger is 100-240V~ac , so it can be used anywhere in the world without having to worry about the voltage differences.
As far as the acual toothbrush goes, its wonderful. It has 4 different modes- clean, gentle, massage, and polish. The polishing cup is just like the one they use as the dentists. The brushheads have a little chip in them that communicates with the toothbrush and automaticly changes modes to the right one. IE if you put on the polishing cup, the toothbrush will automaticly sense it and start brushing in polishing mode! It feels like it's a strong brusher and the flossaction heads leave your teeth squeky clean every time. The Smart Guide, as trivial as it may seem, certainly does fullfill it's purpose. I always make sure I brush the full time, and I'm rewarded with a happy smilyface. The quadpacer is perfect if you brush for two minutes, but if you brush for more than two minutes it will just mess you up. I find myself brushing even longer than two minutes now. After 2.30 the smile turns into an even bigger one, and after 3 the face winks. Even though it may seem childish, it certainly makes brushing your teeth for a full two minutes easy.It can even be set on longer times if you would rather prefer to brush for 3 or 4+ minutes. The Smart Guide can be programed to each toothbrush so there is no need to worry about interference if your both brushing in the same bathroom.
All in all, it's a very well thought out toothbrush. Lots of tiny nice features that make it a little bit fun to brush, and it brushes extreamly well. However, it does come with a rather heafty price tag, there IS a similar model without the Smart Guide that may be of intrest if the Smart Guide just seems too much...

Astonishing, May 4, 2010
This review is from: Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 9950 Rechargeable Toothbrush Special Edition
I despise the dentist and will do anything I can to avoid him (no offense, Dr.). I have owned a Sonicare and an older generation Oral B electric tooth brush. I have tried every variety of mouth wash (both pre and post brushing) and every variety of dental floss. No matter what I tried I still had a rapid build up of plaque resulting in that infernal scraping every 6 months!
So, I can speak with authority when I say that the best dental hygiene product ever developed by humanity is this tooth brush. I have been using it now for two months and there is absolutely no signs of any plaque! The same goes for my wife. Our teeth are visibly whiter and feel like we just walked out of the dentist's office! I had a few "problem areas" around a poorly fitted crown that hurt when I flossed. After a short time that problem area is a problem area no more!
The toothbrush is also fantastically designed. It really does stay charged for about two weeks (or longer) on a single charge allowing you to completely run out the batteries and switch with the one on the charging base. Not only is this convenient but it extends the life of the batteries.
The only hurdle I had to jump with this tooth brush is that it is so aggressive that my teeth became temporarily sensitive but this went away after two weeks.
So, for everyone out there that hates the scraping, BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two useless Smartguides but only ONE CHARGER, August 5, 2009
This review is from: Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 9950 Rechargeable Toothbrush Special Edition
Decided to upgrade to Oral B Triumph "double" to have one set stationed at home and one for travel. However, you receive only one charger. Forget about contacting Proctor & Gamble (Oral B handler) on their website to order another charger. They will send you a useless response.
The base takes along time to charge. Tried to charge while I slept at night (7 hours) and the unit was still not fully charged when I woke up. But the unit retains the charge for quite awhile (good thing since there's only one charger).
Wish there was a "thumb rest" on the base. The first time I used this my thumb brushed over the brush setting sensor and changed the setting. The Triumph has four brush settings-two too many for me.
Does anyone really use the Smartguide? The base "stutters" every 30 seconds-I really don't need a cutesy display. On the possible side, I now have a clock in my bathroom.
This unit uses special brush heads. The leftover brush heads from my Oral B Vitality will not work with the Triumph. With that said, these brush heads clean better than anything I have ever used. Both the polishing and the regular brush heads have yellow rubber(?) attachments within the bristles. With just one use, I could tell a difference with my teeth. My teeth have a natural shine that was only obtained after the dentist polished my teeth.
Would have rated this five stars if there were two chargers. When they make these sets, they should really think how the consumer will use them.
