Nevertheless, I would not buy one again with charging cable:
1) is annoying until it recharged when it suddenly stops in the middle while brushing your teeth and you have to wait. One could simply buy a 4 pack rechargeable batteries and replace quickly.
2) For batteries eliminates the likelihood that the battery breaks down and thus the entire toothbrush is gone (is supposed to happen in today's technology.
3) we had problems to load the toothbrush / n on a US trip, despite adapter (no idea why). Maybe it was coincidence, but shortly after a break is gone. (The second still works flawlessly).
