I know I've had this toothbrush for at least ten years. It's older than my car, my relationship, and my cat. It's the previous navy blue version that just has Braun labeled on the front. The toothbrush is still going strong after all these years. Even at its current age I never take the charger on vacation because the battery life will last me the whole trip. (Even month-long trips.) I figure the toothbrush will eventually die sometime in the next ten years of its life, and I fully expect to buy the exact same toothbrush to last me the next 10+ years of my life.

The Oral-B 7400 makes it easy to brush and keep your teeth clean and your mouth feeling fresh. It is like getting your teeth cleaned at the dentist. The 2 minute timer helps to make sure you are brushing enough and the pressure function, which stops the brush when you are brushing too hard, makes good brushing that much easier. The 7400 is comfortable to hold and easy to clean. It is a quality made product.

I am happy with the way the product works. The pauses at 30 second intervals can be annoying, but their purpose is to inform the user of the time passed while brushing. There may be a way to eliminate the pauses; I will need to read the user's manual more thoroughly. The product equals or exceeds the quality of cleaning I had with a previous Oral-B electric toothbrush. I would recommend other customers purchase this product.

I find this to be a terrific toothbrush...it has everything that the more expensive toothbrushes have! Also has a very handy timer on it. I would highly recommend this and it comes with fast shipping as well. It is a very nice toothbrush and has a nice powerful motor as well. Well worth the price!!

This toothbrush is great. My dentist commented that my teeth were cleaner before he knew I had bought and electric toothbrush. I also always used to brush too hard with a manual toothbrush, but now I feel like my teeth get really clean even if brushing gently. Highly recommended!

Definitely a great brush, you just have to try. I was skeptical, but after trying one I can feel the difference.

The only reason I didn't give it a 5th star is because I changed to the dual brush one (same brand) and it gets my teeth cleaner.

I had a Braun for many years, and after it died of old age purchased another brand (on sale). Never again! The braun is the best for cleaning teeth and massaging gums.

After my third Sonicare toothbrush in 10 years bit the dust, I decided to try an Oral B. Plus, I thought the combo spinner/sonic head might do a better job. OMG! I've got power drills that have less torque. If you've got any loose teeth or sensitivity, don't get this puppy--it'll vibrate you into the third dimension of a headache. And the final time I used it, the sonic part of the brush head caught my lip in-between the handle and the head. That was it--off to the recycling center and back to Sonicare.

Buyer beware, this is the 7550 model or the 7400 model. The box says 7400 but the colors look like the 7550. It is NOT the 7850 model pictured. I should have clarified which 7000 series it was before buying. Regardless, this is still the best price on amazon right now for a 7000 series and I am happy with the quality of the toothbrush. It gives a wonderful gum massage and my teeth feel extra clean.

Until I began using this electric toothbrush, every visit to the dental hiegienist would reveal at least one minor cavity needing attention. This cost time, money, and gradual erosion of teeth (every cavity repaired moves you one step closer to needing a tooth capped -- big, big expense). I've been using this toothbrush for the last few years (approx. 4 or 5 years) and since then have never once had a visit to the dentist reveal a single cavity needing attention. This is in contrast to always having had one needing repairs over the previous 20 years. Highly effective! Considering the cost of dental work, after buying this device, I've actually saved plenty of money! The toothbrush runs on a sealed, non-replaceable internal rechargeable battery. Charging is by magnetic waves, so no bare electrical contacts are exposed, so no danger of shorting the toothbrush or of any shocks. Same goes for the base upon which the toothbrush is charged. Brushes are easy to click on and off and easy to clean, as is the electric toothbrush body itself. Soft rubber grip and long tool (the electric toothbrush body is approx. 6" long) make it easy to handle, so it's easy to reach the molars. Thus far, the rechargeable batteries still seem to be taking a full charge, so this tool also seems durable. Once the internal rechargeables give out, however (as do all rechargeable batteries, eventually), then they can not be replaced and the tool must be discarded wholesale. One very smart aspect of the design of this tool: out of environmental concern, the internal rechargeable battery may be easily extracted for recycling before the rest of the device is discarded. This should be done, as the metals in rechargeable batteries are toxic and an environmental hazard. Most stores where cell phone batteries or electronics are purchased have recycling drop-off boxes for rechargeable batteries.
