The Oral B Vitality Dual Clean toothbrush performs like many of the $100+ power brushes but at a fraction of the cost. I started using mine about a month before my most recent dentist visit and noticed a definite improvement in my brushing results, both above and below the gumline.

Brushing with the Dual Clean takes a little getting used to. First, it's a different technique than regular brushes - you simply glide the brush along your teeth and gums rather than scrubbing back and forth. The fast pulsation of the head takes care of that for you. Once you get use to this new technique, it makes for a very comfortable brushing experience; however, I did experience some minor bleeding for the first few days of use. Second, the power of the motor means that the vibration is intense until you get accustomed to it. I experienced this as a severe tickling sensation in my nose and palate for the first week or so of use. It also includes a simple timer that momentarily revs the motor to notify you when you've brushed for the prescribed two minutes.

This package includes a handle, a charging base and a cleaning head, so it's ready to use out of the box. It runs on a rechargeable battery, so there's no need to keep feeding it AAAs. On the downside, this makes the handle rather bulky, although its rubberized grip makes it easy to manage.

Over the long run, the Dual Clean has proven to be well-constructed, having survived being packed away for several trips (battery life is good enough that you won't even need to bring the charger unless you plan on being away at least a week). Maintenance is simple - both the handle and head are easy to keep clean by simply rinsing after each use. Unfortunately, the initial value that this unit offers is diminished by the relatively high cost for replacement heads.

Overall, the Vitality Dual Clean does an excellent job of cleaning your entire mouth - my dentist said as much. It's also dependable and very affordable, making it a great buy. The sensation of a power toothbrush may not suit everyone's tastes, but at this price, it's easy to see for yourself.

PROS
* Exceptionally clean teeth and gums
* Value priced package with everything you need to start

CONS
* Some may find the bulky head and handle uncomfortable
* Replacement heads are expensive

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Toothbrush!, May 20, 2007

I think this toothbrush is not only a bargain, but the best electric toothbrush I have ever used. Long ago, I spent a fortune on a "sonic" type electric toothbrush which was not nearly as effective in cleaning teeth as this one. With the round brush going around, and the square brush going back and forth, you can get into crevices and dental work that the plain round brushes simply can't reach. And it takes up very little real estate on the bathroom counter. I'm really impressed!

I've been using this toothbrush for a long time now and am very happy with it.

It has it's own recharger, which is nice and the brush heads are replaceable and inexpensive.

My dentist recommended this one to me and since all my check-ups have been good, I give the credit to the Oral B Vitality Dual Clean Power Brush. I do floss once a day and use this brush three times a day.I time how long I'm brushing as I don't want to under or overbrush.

I highly recommend this to everyone.
