Perfectly adequate. The dentist has realized that is electrically cleaned. So the "Electric" is probably better than a manual toothbrush wirlich. After every 30 seconds you will be reminded by short stop, because brush in another quadrant. So far, no scratch marks on the teeth, so I'm assuming that pressure control is not necessary. What I unfortunately can not say is whether I can really 10x brushing teeth before recharging (try because I keep forgetting). The toothbrush is still in the cradle and I mean, even after more than 2 years, I can not detect any loss of performance under these conditions. With quality and feel I am very satisfied. The processing has a quality feel. The toothbrush has been working with me now over 2 years reliably.
