I too would like to add to this many positive reviews! While the first few days are a bit "weird" in the familiarization phase of an ordinary toothbrush, but you then adapted quickly. Even after several weeks of use I can make a significant brightening and cleaning my teeth remarkable! With such a fast, va positive result I did not expect. As mentioned before in other reviews, the brush is inductively charged (duration at a completely empty battery approximately up to 18 hours). The brush can remain at the loading station while it is not used. After tooth cleaning, the toothbrush is already fully charged within about an hour! If the battery brush are taken on a journey without a charger, thus keeping the previously fully charged battery acc. Manufacturer description about two weeks !! One last comment on the observations submitted to me Rating: Although quite flashes a slightly bluish light diode while charging, but this is so small that not the bathroom and certainly not the adjoining hall is shrouded in a blue light !! This previously made statement is simply totally inaccurate for me !!
