The first impression:
The toothbrush makes a very solid and attractive impression. The charger operates without contact (induction). Supplied with two brush heads are included (EW0911 and EW0920). When you first load the toothbrush but discloses a small blemish: A charge level indicator of the battery is not the toothbrush, load after 15 hours the brush according to the manufacturer ready for first use.
Operation:
After a certain period of familiarization brushing is very easy with the sonic toothbrush. Initially irritated that something loud operating noise, which is perceptible yet even with the bathroom door closed. When brushing technique is described in the manual vertical method is best proved (from red to white). The particular tooth and gum-damaging horizontal scrubbing (as with manual toothbrushes unfortunately often the case) is a sonic toothbrush of the past. The cleaning result with the sonic toothbrush is beyond any doubt. The plaque is effectively removed, the fine brush at the edge reach very well the interdental spaces.
Also worth mentioning are the small brush heads, with which one easily reaches the molars. The maximum operating time is consistent with the manufacturer's instructions. Due to lack of battery indicator you are compelled to load the brush "on suspicion". Since electric toothbrushes thanks replaceable head can be used by several people quite, this may well lead to upsets.
Cleaning:
The cleaning of the toothbrush is very easy. Water over it, wipe, finished.
Consumption costs:
After nearly two weeks of operation, I can see the brush heads do not wear. A good sign that the consumption costs under stay (about 5-7 euros for two replacement brushes).
Conclusion:
The Panasonic EW1031 doing what it should: clean teeth effectively while protecting the gums. For those who can do without additional functions such as timers or massage operation, the Panasonic has a very good price / performance ratio.
