The scope of delivery as described, the parts are supplied in a solid Styrofoam packaging in cardboard.
Charge time will actually half a day (handsets were only slightly loaded, so necessary). Once charged, but you get the feeling, the battery life is "forever". Therefore, it is also acceptable that one has only a battery charger and should poke now and then the 2nd handpiece up.
It is a pity that the chargers of the 5000-series predecessor is no longer fit. Why, I can not judge, if necessary, other charging voltage? Too bad I do not have values but, since not everyone has the old model as we do.
The cable length of the charger is sufficient and my Conrad-ammeter could find almost no power consumption during charging.
The cleaning action we feel (adults and children) as well, and the dentist has always been satisfied. The handpiece even our 10-year-old daughter can handle easily, even though it may be a bit bigger or heavier than other devices. It fits comfortably in your hand.
Since we use the SmartGuide (which here even stick to the wall and can be removed again from there out of the holder), the children brush their teeth much longer as before, without that we have big then lobbied. This SmartGuide is the perfect invention for me level for children and youth, in order to avoid too short brushing. Even as I admittedly quick Putzer always pay attention to a minimum time (but which I will not tell here ...). Super-sub! Wers not need heck in the crate and not let negative rate it, thanks.
Conclusion:
Since we have two older handpieces, I will replace these older by the bought here 5500 Series, so I'm happy or are we. Whether battery life, operation, cleaning effect, for everything I forgive together 5 star and a strong buy recommendation.
