Many, many years my brother has obtained the purchase of a toothbrush station; back then it was a model of its own brand of a large mail-order company, in which my mother was coincidentally Sammelbestellerin. This was used both of us often like; My parents refused to use the machine from the beginning vehemently. Unfortunately stuck at that time the technology when it comes to the frequent charging batteries, still in its infancy, resulting in a reliable death of permanently installed batteries led shortly after the end of the warranty period and continue to the fact that my father fun of the new technology made, which in turn was the purchase of a follow-up model in the way, and this ultimately also prevented reliably. Henceforth was cleaned again by age fathers custom of hand. Meanwhile, both battery life and cleaning performance have significantly improved. In the old station, I felt a slight tingling in the mouth, while the Oral-B rather reminds me of a hammer drill. With tendency to jackhammer. For someone who for decades has teeth cleaned manually, certainly a change and only a matter of habit. However, I must confess that the cleaning effect is noticeably better than with a normal toothbrush ashamed. You know the feeling when the dentist has chiseled out the tartar? But somehow something roughened pretty clean? Similarly, the application of the Oral-B. The toothbrush is parked on a handy charging station, charging is via inductive, ie no electrical contacts on the handle or the charging unit, which eliminates the use in the bathroom, and then rinsing with water harmless. Unfortunately, the charger is not suitable for attachment to the wall which would have been just in small bathrooms beneficial. A green LED will flash to charge control; the charging process can take quite a bit longer, but so far she was always ready when I needed it. Special programs it provides not in the basic equipment; only every 30 seconds there is a kind of short and after two minutes, a longer "Vibrate", which is extremely helpful to meet some cleaning time, and handling all the teeth of equal length. A Bluetooth connectivity as the top model or special programs but I would not even need. Likewise, I think no one needs the impossible packaging that can unfortunately only be opened with sharp objects as well as the instructions in the format of a map, especially as it is, unfortunately, also folded similarly awkward.
Conclusion: Definitely more thorough than cleaning with a conventional toothbrush
