Total new at this, I had never used BDE (electric toothbrush) is on advice of my dentist that I started to get interested. As it was a little jungle, I read essays on lesnumeriques.com (that made me move away from Trizones brushes of the brand, very poorly rated because too aggressive) and browsed a few blogs and videos on youtube . Basically there are two systems that take the market as the tilt-rotary and the Oral-B Sonic as Phillips. From a scientific point of view, the dentists do not seem to make differences between these two systems, they are equally effective than the other. So I directed my choice on a pecuniary criterion, the Oral-B brushes are almost 2 times less expensive to buy and that makes a big difference after qq years! And then I also préfèré their little round heads more practical in my opinion to go everywhere. With a current promotion offering 20 on the purchase of a Oral-B, Q / P ratio was playing for Oral-B Another lesson learned: no need to type in the high end that just adds perfectly useless gadgets every day. Let's test: The first time I told myself that it was probably a good mistake to have bought that! Vibrations are highly unpleasant and vibrate all teeth with a fairly pronounced noise, if you have untreated caries you feel on. So I insisted on closing the eyes (by the way I understood why some models (Phillips) had option "beginner" that increase the force of heartbeats on the first 14 days) and by the "soft" way it was going already better. 2/3 days after I had used and especially I was quite amazed at the result: more plaque, ultra effective brushing leaving an unknown clean feeling with my hand brushes and indeed some teeth whiter. Regarding the model, the first negative point: the power cord is too short, it lacks good 10 cm to be functional, there you forward to having a really close outlet or use an extension (which is not not top in a humid bathroom) The full recharge time (until the green LED stops blinking) is therefore: 17H, autonomy is no longer correct, it is used for 2 with my wife, and I recharging after 3/4 days. There are 3 modes, we mainly use the soft in case of sensitive teeth and gums, the normal is the most used in everyday life, the third way seems unnecessary (whiteness) alternating the vibrations, I have not seen the real interest. The pressure indicator in the form of light is also useless, really need support like a nag to trigger and it will not come to the idea of person normally constituted. Every 30 seconds (it goes very fast actually) a vibration changes to indicate that we should move to another quadrant of the jaw and after 2 minutes 4 low vibrations indicate that it's over, but the brush continues until you stop it. The BoE can be cleaned easily under water, the brush is changed in a glance, it is convenient to be able to place different colored rings supplied to differentiate that of Monsieur and Madame that. On the sink can either place the BDE with the media containing other heads which has the advantage of greater stability overall, but take up more space. Or just let the round base much smaller charging, handy if you need more space. In short: after a relatively short adaptation time, I (my wife) Ultra satisfied with the result offered by this brush on my oral hygiene, I do not think ever board a mechanical brushing. I am also convinced that it is not necessary to go to be hypnotized by a plethora of useless gadgets offered on high-end that does absolutely nothing to change the result of brushing. Keep in mind that what will ultimately hear the most expensive, they are the brushes to change every 3 months.
- >> Update after two years of daily use to 2 people on the same sleeve:
Confirmed Negatives: - The wire is too short considering we really have to keep the trendy often because the 2nd downside: - 17H The cooldown is too long for me it is THE biggest downside to this price level (83) is unacceptable, rechargeable batteries are more efficient in 2013 if we take the trouble to equip its models ... I just, for example to buy a professional hair clipper has 108 it contains NiMh batteries that load in 150 minutes and take 100 minutes ... we are very far from this Oral-B whose level of charge and discharge is however a particularly crucial point in everyday use ... what a lack of ergonomics. - The box door head is not very ergonomic, I would have preferred to be able to snap right on a separate pedestal that take up less space and especially that does not fill with water for each use
Positives also confirmed: - I would return more to a manual brush my teeth are cleaned like never - We are used daily as the 1st mode (cleanliness) finally others are pretty useless - You get used very fast vibration to the point that contrary to what I said earlier we end up pressing too hard and the red LED lights up to remind, it is useful finally - My head is the first to change to 3 months, her hair color is lost but remained well without slouching rights as a traditional brush. I change the head every 3 months.
Furthermore we tested the oral dentifirces B that I find rather pleasing both their taste by their texture which unlike conventional toothpastes, liquefies the brush pass, and therefore not as small packages coagulated ineffective. I recommend.
