" ... Just doesn't seem to work as well as the old one that finally gave up the ghost. ... "
" ... Randomly died and will not charge at all after just 9 months of use. ... "
" ... Pair broke after one week of use ... "
" ... But I am terribly disappointed that purchasing directly from the manufacturer has led to a faulty product. ... "
" ... Lasted 2 years and now it won't turn on. ... "
" ... This lasted 11 months before it stopped working. ... "
" ... (Sometimes, it just stops timing even though I'm still brushing, and one time, it cut about 30 seconds off my time.) ... "

" ... It just stopped working, won't turn on and won't charge. ... "
" ... We loved this toothbrush until the charger quit working, 6 months after purchase. ... "
" ... Really don't like this small brush and it doesn't hold a charge as well as Sonicare. ... "
" ... Doesn't hold a charge as well as I'd like. ... And because of the battery type (at least as far as I can tell), the charge takes overnight to get to full. ... "
" ... One day the brush charges normally, and the next doesn't. ... The deal breaker is just the faulty charger. ... A month and a half later, the brush stopped charging again. ... The brush has been treated exactly the same, so I'm willing to bet the problem is the charger once again. ... And since we are not planning to buy a charger every month and a half, we just decided to take the refund. ... "
" ... not able get charged right now ... "
" ... Everytime i want to charge my toothbrush I have to unplug and plug back in the charging cable and after I use my toothbrush (or lifting it from the charging dock) I have to unplug and plug again. ... "
" ... The issue is the flashing blue light that indicates the item is charging and working hard at it. ... I purchased a black hand towel to wrap around the unit when charging. ... "

" ... It works well and the battery charge does last for quite awhile. ... "
" ... Holds its charge for days! ... "
" ... The Phillips feel better made, the battery takes only a couple of hours to fully charge and it holds the charge for at least two weeks with twice a day brushing, the Oral B takes about 24 hours to fully charge and only holds the charge for about 10 days. ... "

" ... I shouldn't have bought the bluetooth option, but I'm a sucker for technology. ... "
" ... Bluetooth is awesome and my son cannot wait to brush his teeth every morning and night. ... "
" ... Only major difference to this newer version is the bluetooth connectivity. ... "
" ... I've had this tooth brush now for over a month. ... "
" ... I love the features, although, I think the bluetooth is a little bit ridiculous. ... The bluetooth--I could take or leave it. ... "

" ... It almost felt like my teeth got a cleaned by the dentist. ... "
" ... I cannot believe the difference from my previous electric toothbrush. ... It sounds corny but I, actually, want to brush my teeth more than I used to because my teeth/mouth feel so much cleaner. ... I cannot wait for my next dental exam to see whether the status of my teeth/gums have improved. ... "
" ... Great toothbrush, long battery life with a deep clean brush. ... "
" ... Braun makes a great product. ... "
" ... It is the best electric brush that I have ever used. ... "
" ... It was a good deal and Braun products are At!! ... "
" ... I had a sonic care toothbrush before and the brush head was easier to work with, but the style of this brush(smaller and more compact) is better at getting around and in between teeth. ... "

" ... That is, until the plastic travel case got knocked off the counter and broke in half. ... I've always liked Oral-B products, but I'm disappointed by how quickly this product began falling apart. ... "
" ... I think that is very poor workmanship. ... "
" ... While the tooth brush case wreaks of off-gassing cheap plastic, the tooth brush itself is of inferior construction and doesn't securely sit in it's holder. ... "
" ... Love the toothbrush but very disappointed that in a sealed box parts were missing. ... "
" ... No cap for all this price and no protective cap and only one head. ... "
" ... Pair broke after one week of use ... "
