I previous had a elite sonic care tooth brush that cost over $100.00 and died a few years later...the sonic care people did not to fix my old toothbrush, instead they wanted me to buy a new one.. so i would never buy sonic care again... i saw the reviews on this toothbrush and decide to try it...1st my teeth feel a lot cleaner than with sonic care elite.. the only thing is that when you use to toothbrush longer than 20 seconds, a fully charged battery runs out in about 4 -5 days..so you have to keep in the the charger everyday...also it louder than the sonic care elite..but you get use to it.... your teeth are really squeaky clean after you use this toothbrush, i know i ran my finger over my teeth and it squeaked... this is a great toothbrush at a great price....

I bought two of these Oral-B toothbrush units in mid-December 2009, one for me and one for my husband. They are very effective, leaving the teeth looking and feeling clean. Problem: The units don't last long. Mine died after seven months, after a normal level of use. You can't get into the unit to see if the battery contacts need readjusting or something--if anything inside goes wrong, you're looking at purchasing a new unit. Like I just did, not having found a more durable alternative on the market. (The quality of the Sonicares I formerly used declined to the point where a unit typically lasted only a month or two.)

I'm very happy with this toothbrush I bought a year ago. My sensitive teeth much prefer it to the non-sonic Oral-B electric that I was previously using, and my teeth are very much whiter than before as well. I've had no problems or quality issues with this product either.

This was highly rated by Consumer Reports, Amazon.com had the best price by far, so my pearly whites are happy and so am I!

Top notch electric toothbrush! Our dentist is amazed at how we never have plaque build up when we go for our 6 month cleaning appts. Would recommend highly, especially if you dont frequent a dentist as often.

I've tried several electric toothbrushes and finally found the one for me. I have a small mouth and sensitive gums and this one has a "gentle" setting plus a small round brush head. Since using an electric toothbrush my gums have improved greatly. I've had this model for 3 years and just bought this one for my vacation home.

I am not inclined to write product reviews but this toothbrush is really great. I've used electric toothbrushes for decades. My last Braun ebrush died and I search for a replacement. This one was more expensive but having used it I have to say it was well worth the extra money.

I am extremely disappointed in the Braun Triumph 9000. I purchased it on 3/04/2006 and now the battery will not charge. I followed the care instructions and did a discharge every 6 months hoping that the battery would last a little longer, but it still will not charge correctly. I called Braun customer service and explained the problem and was told the handle is no longer good. they said they only last about 5 years. Perhaps Braun should advise the consumer that the unit is going to be disposed of in 5 years. I was offered a $10 dollar coupon or a replacement handle that would cost $60. It is very frustrating to have to purchase another handle when the whole unit costs about $100.(Sam's club) I have to really think about purchasing another Braun brush verses another similar product by another manufacturer. Perhaps I will get more than 5 years out of another company.

This is an excellent product, in my opinion. Here are some of my notes: 1. I have used my Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 9400 Power Toothbrush for about a year without any problems. 2. The toothbrush digitally indicates when it needs charging. 3. The charge is relatively long-lasting. (I have noticed that my battery indicator will blink when it is low and will continue to blink once plugged in although it is charging at this point). 4. The base station has a small footprint, with a place to store the toothbrush heads. 5. The portable charger takes up little space, and is especially useful for travel. 6. The toothbrush indicates a smiley face at the end of your two-minute clean. 7. It will also show a toothbrush head when it is time to change to a new head. 8. The toothbrush promotes two-minute cleans, 30 seconds for each quarter of the mouth. The toothbrush pulses and indicates a change when it's time to switch position in the mouth. I have no problems at my dentist visits, and I know that I am doing a great job with this toothbrush. I now use this toothbrush with the Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet for an exceptional clean.

A complicated running system where it should simply shut itself off, it does not, I find it quite irksome.
