very good tooth brush
Ever since I switched to this a year ago, I never ever went back to manual toothbrushing.
naka 2 oral-b electric toothbrush na kami, nasira siya around 4~8 months
Ang nagpasipag sa akin mag toothbrush sulit buy
yung ganyan kasi hindi nag tatagal yung battery. halos every 1.5 years kami nagpapalit ng electric toothbrush.
Rotating head toothbrushes are only about 5% more effective than sonic toothbrushes, so you're already doing well using one of them.
Both the sonicare and oral b are great- really any of the models.
In the end I had to return both as neither black toothbrush from either set would charge regardless of which charger used.
Oral-B makes some excellent brushes with timers, pressure sensors, and multiple modes that can really help improve your gum health.

this website has a guide for like every electric toothbrush. you dont need a fancy battery, I just used a rechargeable ikea battery and it works perfect.
If the instructions others have given you for fixing the current one don't work, there are a few things you can do to make your next one last longer:
Leaving a brush on the charger will shorten the battery life. I went through two that lasted 5 years each.
Bought one. If you add the travel case during check-out, you get 250 more savings (you practically get the case for free plus 120discount on the toothbrush).
Still deciding? Ask Lava.
