According to instructions of toothbrushes battery requires 16 hours to charge. I was pleasantly surprised that the toothbrush already charged came out of the package and I could start the evening before going to bed already go out of the box with the brushing. The instructions I have only briefly overflown because it was me on the one hand too confusing (a folded sheet in towel size, both sides closely printed in many languages) and on the other hand, I thought that I could use as my old hand brush toothbrush easy. In order to get on electrical brushing is not exactly need High School ...
But it quickly became apparent that there still are some basic techniques that distinguishes the electric brush in the handling of the hand brush. And if one is reading the instructions for use an the well explained and you have not even come out that for example, is useful to put the brush head full of toothpaste first in the mouth, and only then to turn the brush and when you're done, the brush first off to take it then from the mouth. In addition, you can now refrain herumzuschrubben with vigorous hand movements in the mouth. Instead, you go without or with only slight pressure with the rotating brush from tooth to tooth and initially brushing the teeth from the outside, then the inside and then the chewing surfaces.
Is my teeth with the hand brush previously seemed like an eternity, I am always amazed at how quickly pass 2 minutes. Mostly I clean now for more than 2 minutes, which I have not done earlier in manual mode voluntarily well. The supposedly optimal 2-minute interval is indicated by three times briefly exposing the toothbrush. The time is indeed can not change, but the timer logs every time after 2 minutes. So you know after the 4-minute-shaker that you can really stop times slowly.
At first I felt it was shortage that there is no charging light on the brush or the charger. Meanwhile, I see it as an advantage; one hears so much of the power consumption of unused electrical appliances in standby mode, simply because any lights to be supplied with energy. Having now collected 4 weeks experience with the brush, I can say: it does not require lights to be able to work well with this toothbrush. Once charged the battery lasts a long time and when the power wears off you can feel something that you have to recharge the brush again. The power loss is only slightly until shortly before battery failure. This means that you indeed realize that you should recharge now, but can last up to brush your teeth clean and with fading battery.
The design of the toothbrush is simple; she is very well and securely in the hand and the slightly rubberized surface on the handle I find enjoyable. The only point that bothers me a bit: after brushing you should pull the brush part of the hand Stückl and seek both. But now I will not put on the same brush again because I (whether justified or not I do not know) have a feeling that might be able to quickly form nuclei in the hot and humid atmosphere. So I put the (hollow) brush part on the basin shelf, so that they also can dry from the inside and I did not exactly feel that this is very hygienic. A manual toothbrush with handle is positioned vertically in the tumbler, the head floats in the air and he may well dry.
But that's just a small flaw, which also have other electric toothbrushes and for which one can consider an individual solution. My conclusion therefore: the teeth with the electric toothbrush brings definitely an improvement over the brushing by hand. I have fewer problems with tartar and teeth feel cleaner and smoother per se, since I brush electric.
