bought june 2022 mow early dec usage is about 1 to 2x a day as i have oral b 1000 costco item battery at gentle speeds with 1 to 3 full 2 minute sessions at a time each day will last TWO (2) months!!!!!! take that you over priced oral b! which barely lastrs 7 days with 2x sessions each at 2 min. the aquasonic will clean well still find oral b simpler as i dont have to actually "brush" with OB as it does all the work for me but AqS works at what i does and does better with rear molars esp the space between back two molars on each end of mouth (as in the lat two moalrs on each side of jaws) downside? again wish it had slipperly reg plastic body w/o the soft touch coating. those eventually over time will degrade n become nasty sticky icky mess but...maybe thiers will notdos. if it does then ill just use adhesive remover the oral b had 50 percent faiure rate as i bought 2pack from costco after 1 year, one failed to charge so time will tell if AaS is more durable and long lasting. i really hope so as it is is cuh a g8 value 8 brush heads from ob? 60usd. from AqS? incld wih $40 toothbrush! that is 2 years of brush heads included! oh i guess this is a downside but also could be how this thing lasts so long on a charge - you n need to charge 24 hours to get full 100% charge but at same weight and zie as ob, not sure what kinda battery it uses but clearly far far far far superior to oral b thanks AqS! Sorry for my typos! lol bottom line: buy this toothbrush AUg 31 2022 update approx usage 1-3 full cycles (2 min each cycle) daily still havent had to charege the battery!!!! on weekends, sometimes i have used it 3x a day with 1 - 2 ful lcycles my oral b battery? horrible. lasts barealy a week without charging using 2x a day 1 cycle per usage. i keep it on charger most days comparison: AS: softer bristles little harder to get fully clean teet IMO as still havent gotten used to how to use it properly amazing battery life - the review that said husband/wife use just one AS while switching brush tips, and it lasting for months, is not a lie. it is true i tell. true lol. i know cuz mine i have only done ONE 1x full 24 hour (which manual directs you to do - 24 hour for full charge). ive done that 1x back when i bought it. no weakening of power and its now aug 31th! same size as Oral B housing yet AqZSn battery is clearly much bigger and of much higher quality than Oral B Price for Aq includes 8 brush heads! i dont know if Azmn sells AqSn brush heads but i wont have to do so for a long time. 8 w each lasting 3 months would be 2 years worth of brush heads! and the price included the toothbrush! so while i do prefer easier brushing with OB, the AS is clearly a far better value and far better battery quality as one reviewer mentioned the AqSn brucsh head breaking, i am ultra gentle with my brushing to prevent that from occuring (i hope). tehoretically, same issue could occur with any of these electric toothbrushes Cons: no power level indicator like OB has 3 leds for pwr. i wish AqS had this but as i said, im still on original charge 2 moths of usage !!! so the con is nitpicking lol still havent really firgured out if i am brushing properly but i have same issue with a manual toothbrush lol bottom line: the AS is superior to a reg toothbrush (by how much i dont know). i use level 2 power (not the max) and it seems to work well even with my feather light brushing of teeth waterproof esseentially - iave rinsed entire housing repeatedly just like with my Oral B, neither has had issues the one future con i foresee: the brush head has a matte finish and all matte finshess become disgusting stickiy over time. i basiclaly will need to remove the matte finish at some point using heavy duty adhesive remover but that is oky. the oral b does not have a matte finish which is batter. Oral B poor battery life EXPENSIVE brush heads 55 for 9! expensive to replace when battery eventually dies at 50 usd floss action - these are the specific heads i use and they work great cuz they cover whole tooth easier to use than AquaS. as i simply hold over each tooth and let OB do the work STIFF bristiles though overall OB cleans better IMO June 26 2022 only used 1x just initial impressions will update later ive used oralb 3d series from costco for 2 years using their floss action head pros of OB is effortless - all ii have to do is hold the brush feather lightly agasinst teeth vertically - not movement needed like standard toothbrush Aquasonic Sonic Toothbrush has an accurate title which means it is a toothbrush with a sonic function. i have no idea if this sonic function 40k bpm actually does anything.... i was hoping for a $30 oral-b replacement but instead it is a standard toothbrush with a sonic funciton meaning i stilll have to brush my teeth like a normal toothbrush. whine whine whin i konw ha ha ha but i have i bone spurs in shoulders blades where upper movent causes pain hence my preference for oral b no effort tootbrushing over aquasonic. i will stil keep and use aquasonic as as a backup to my oral b will update later once ive used long term but again, best value for money for a toothbrush with sonic function...but again...does it actually remove plque better than standard ultra soft tootbrush???? i konw ora-b floss action head does work better but does aquasonic???? time will tel.... will update later and sorry for typos
We’ve been using this now for 5 years and it still works just like the day we bought it. We only have to charge it maybe once each month. Your teeth get so much cleaner with this than a traditional toothbrush. My dentist always comments on how clean my teeth are. If you’ve never used and electric toothbrush before it will take some getting used to. It’s quite powerful and it kind of tickles your gums initially. You might feel like your whole skull is vibrating! There is a soft and massage setting, it might be best to start out with one of those until you’re used to it. I will say that while my teeth feel way cleaner with this, I’m not sure the whitening setting really does much. My guess is that’s more to do with the toothpaste you use and your eating habits. I would recommend this to anyone. This might be one of our best purchase ever on Amazon. If at some point ours died or wouldn’t even look at alternatives, I’d just purchase this again immediately.
I wanted a portable sonic TB for use at work. I just don't like using an old-fashioned TB anymore since I've used a sonic brush for so many years. This product is well-priced and has just enough settings to make sense. I can't tell about the whitening setting results, yet, as I haven't been using for long enough to see a difference. I also love that it doesn't mess up the wire or brackets of my braces. Has enough power, too. It is also very light compared to the other big brand model I have at home. It seems to go a good amount of time charged, too. It also has a hard case holder for traveling instead of a cloth or fabric bag. I am very happy to keep.

I'll just be straight up truthful, the old fashioned toothbrush dental routine was something I just couldn't keep up with. It hurt, it took too long, the bristle sensations freaked me out, and I would go sometimes a full week without brushing at a time because I dreaded the sensations. But then I bought this toothbrush device. Pros: *The bristles are soft and do not hurt (make sure you brush at an angle! Straight on/forward hurts like a drill). *The vibration patterns massage the gums, it's very soothing and you don't feel the individual bristles. *The cleaning power of this thing is literally so impressive. Took the week long orange plaque away in a jiffy. *Does not make the gums bleed, even when they are severely neglected. *Does not increase tooth sensitivity with the Clean, Soft, and Massage settings. *The timer is SO handy. Cons: *I am terrified of the Whitening setting. I feel like it would just be damaging the enamel like sandpaper. *The vibrations are loud *Your hand and mouth tingles for awhile afterwards due to the vibrations. *It SUCKS if you accidentally touch your teeth with the hard plastic of the toothbrush head while it's turned on. It's a game changer!
