The best electric toothbrush I used. Initally, you get excellent results. However, this gradually deteriorates with the age of the brush head. Also, there does not seem to be a range of brush head types as I would prefer a harder tooth brush bristle.

The battery lasts about can last about 2 years but is not the easiest thing to replace. Following the instructions carefully, I wound up damaging the handle and needing to buy a new one.

A good buy at these prices but the device contains a few design flaws.

Made from potato?

I say that because this is as cheap as chips! I bought my first Sonicare 7000 Elite 6 months ago, but it wasn't the top-of-the-range one, being just single speed and a single LED to indicate battery level. I paid almost £100 for it back then, where the top-end model was £130! Now it's time to replace the heads, and I see this...a replacement top-of-the-range handle for just £25. Both my wife and I use the Sonicare, so I figured that along with two replacement heads, I'll also buy one of these replacement handles. Guess which one the wife will be getting?! ;o)

For those who haven't used a Sonicare before, you haven't brushed your teeth yet! Honestly, the difference is that great. Your teeth feel like glass after 2 minutes with this. Expensive, but then again, so was my previous dentists bill...
