Toothbrush for small men

Oral-B Stages electric toothbrush children (theme Cars) (Health and Beauty)

Customer Review

The Oral B there in various designs and motifs. We tried the version with the "motif Cars". Both this as well as the Prince's brush are suitable for children over 5 years.

The toothbrush was the latest test 2015 by Stiftung Warentest for the test winners.

The handpiece is sufficient grip for little hands, the brush heads seem to me to be a little smaller, like those of our other Oral-B toothbrushes. Wherein the diameter of the handpiece corresponds almost exactly to the brush for the adults. Here, then, was not extra "child-friendly" designed, but "pimped" the car's appearance. The latter corresponds indeed the purpose, which should lie mainly in children aged 5 to 12 years. Because after the motives are probably not particularly "cool".

It is also interesting that the manufacturer outside the symbol "5+" So imprints on the package 5 years. But in the manual, he writes that "3 - 14 year old, can use the toothbrush under adult supervision".

Class I find the built-in timer, the less ensures that the kids really well two minutes brushing your teeth. Because while brushing your teeth are so much longer than two minutes watching TV .... The timer "message" after the two minutes audibly or by chattering. Every 30 seconds a new section should be cleaned. Revealing the videos are here at Amazon to. It would be better, of course, though here would signal a sound all 30 seconds.

Less good, I find everything related to the battery and the charging of the toothbrush. There is no charge indicator. Even rechargeable batteries can not be exchanged will, but I have reasons of product safety (humidity / flow) still limited understanding. But the charging time of 16 hours for a complete charge I find too long. And when one invites to on or off. Only when the toothbrush no "peep" is worth or safety side, already after four or five treatments. This should be a brand manufacturers can better solve. For this, I subtract a star.

The brush heads are also available here on Amazon. This should lt. Manufacturers are replaced every three months. For six brush heads to invest again the same as for the toothbrush ...

All in all a nice toothbrush by the design and the timer to animate the children, thorough and long enough to brush.
