Upper class brush with quirks

On the sense of electric toothbrushes you no longer need to fight now. It is recognized that one can achieve the same cleaning performance with normal manual brush when you brush properly. Do not do the most, however, and it's just very difficult. And with an electric, it is easier to clean thoroughly reliable.
Also I'm the so and so I use for over 20 years electrical brushes.

The development of this brush has a few steps through, at the beginning were mainly brush spread practically a normal brush head had the could move up and down. At some point we then has persuaded that round brushes are much better because they clean each tooth individually better advertising. OralB was involved here quite significantly and most other companies have also understood this trend and so round 'oscillating' brushes have become a quasi standard. Although sound or 'Sonic' brushes are also now on the market, but rather seem to eke out a shadowy existence as they probably still mitsichbringen no convincing advantages.

The new Trizone of OralB now goes back to the classic brush design, however, has adapted these clever. From 6 rows of bristles move 3, this is achieved by a rigid brush head and the fact there is a mobile unit on the plane 3 of 6 rows of bristles are mounted. So you have a rigid set, a movable, rigid, etc.
Ultimately, however, a complete departure from the round brush head back to the principle as it was common 20 years ago.

So I was really quite surprised when I received this new OralB Trizone and was allowed to test.
I was surprised about being too long Erstaufladezeit which was about 24 hours at me until I had a full charge. That seems out of date and in the price range more than amazing.

In use, the falls but to massive motor and battery part of the toothbrush. It is the heaviest and thickest electric toothbrush that I've ever owned. The advantages of this clunky designs have me so far not developed even after many cleaning units, I find smaller handsets better.
But what really has me badly disturb the arrangement of the two buttons on the operation. With a head you can see the brush on and off, with the second button you can control the 5 cleaning programs. Since the handset is as big and clunky when I press often off the wrong button, which is on one hand a nuisance, sometimes even really stupid and makes dirt, how can it come about that later.
The toothbrush itself is again very much larger than the round brush heads. As with 'manual' so you can brush so good 2 teeth at the same time. However, one is not so good at the rearmost rows of teeth.
The cleaning result feels subjectively seen good. The size of the brush, it is probably possible to clean easily more tooth surface at the same time. Whether that really is better objectively than the round brush of course I can not prove. Advantage of the round brush is still that you can reach and targeted a tooth brush, with the big TriZone brush that's not really possible, but this dressing more tooth surface at the same time.

A special 'gag' the toothbrush is the 'Smart-guide system'.
In principle, it is a kind of clock based on which one can read the current time and can be seen when using the brush, the brushing time. Especially helpful is the recommended system for 30 seconds at OralB a so-called 'quadrants' brush. The mouth area is thus divided into 4 parts and intellectual for each of these 4 areas should we take 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the brush stops briefly and a star on the display of Smart Guides appears. After 2 minutes and 4 stars the normal program is satisfied and you have reached the cleaning target. Through this tool you can really quite well reach the mouth to brush evenly.

Here, however, is a problem at my days I've already indicated above. If after 2 minutes the brush stops short, I power down and take out of his mouth and then starts moving again but sees my bath then pretty splashed. Because I have repeatedly not to get caught in this case the stop button but the underlying Programmunschaltknopf and since the brush remembers yes paused shortly after 30 seconds each one only when the brush is turning on that mistake again 'and then kanns be too late for a clean bathroom. Although I know that now yes it happened to me again and again.

You can also select other programs in my opinion, only partially open up. 'Deep cleaning' prolongs the cleaning time of 2 to 3 minutes and thus each quadrant of 30 to 45 seconds. When Program sensitive the brush gently. In brightening and massage the rhythm of the brush movements change. To what extent is supposed to be really brightening when the brush changes the rhythm while brushing does not open up to me really, especially not why one felt 'reverse' program should then massage place lighten. So that seems to me more likely to be a Verkaufsgimmick.

My conclusion: The OralB dressing really good and the SmartGuide is a very good help.
The unit itself is too big and too clunky and the arrangement of the two buttons during operation indistinguishable and leads me to the wrong pressures.
The price is actually a hammer for a toothbrush. Elektrozahbürsten with round plaster heads the 'good' brush according Warentest there from approx 10 euros for example in drug stores. Whether the OralB really justify such a violent Surcharge and then brings an outdated and slow-loading battery technology and a big clunky and bulky handset, everyone must decide for themselves. You can really good clean order. If a timer into the bathroom one imagines I think, but that you can achieve good results also significantly cheaper.
