Treat yourself! I promise you will NOT be disappointed!
First off let me say that after growing up in the 90's the thought of spending $300 on a toothbrush is absolutely ridiculous - until I bought one. The day I received it in the mail, I couldn't wait to get it out and use it for the first time. I had never used a toothbrush like this one before. I usually used the cheaper $10.00 battery powered toothbrushes that you throw away once its depleted. The directions recommend you to let it charge for a full 24 hours prior to using it - however in my case I had already thrown my toothbrush in the trash, and the excitement of the product forced me to use it immediately. When I opened up the package, I was quite surprised of the quality of not only the packing, but the classy display of the contents and the quality of the materials. I picked the toothbrush up - Wow! Never thought I'd be saying this, but "What a beautiful toothbrush" is exactly what I said. The different brush heads are packaged nicely in their separate "baggies". I got the charging base and glass cup out of the packaging, and set it up like the directions say. I set my toothbrush in it and voila! The brush beeps/vibrates twice to let me know it is charging. The battery indicator blinks when the unit is charging. Just like the description says, you get several brush heads: Whitening, Clean/Deep Clean, Gum Care, and one tongue brush. Each brush head is marked on the front of the neck which one it is (C - For Clean) (W - for whitening) and (G - for gum care). If you still aren't sure you can always just place the brush head on the toothbrush and it'll "magically" tell you which one you're planning to use. Another neat thing I noticed is each brush head (that comes in the package) has a microchip, so not only does the toothbrush know which one you're using, it also knows the best intensity and vibration pattern to use which cooresponds with each head. Granted you can change it up anytime you like during the process (brush cycle prior to brushing, intensity while you're brushing), but I thought it was an ingenious idea for it to be this smart. I got the app downloaded, set up my profile, and was ready to brush. I picked the toothbrush up out of the glass - immediately it lights up. I place the "Clean" brush head on it, and the app automatically switches to the "clean" mode and opens up the brush screen - all without me lifting a finger (granted this only works if the app is already open prior to picking up the brush or turning it on). So I turn it on, the app starts telling me the parts of my mouth to brush, and I go to work. The feeling of using this toothbrush vs what I was used to definitely was an awkward feeling - yet it was quite pleasant. I finish the cycle, and then the app proceeds to tell me areas of my mouth I didn't brush as good. It says "Turn on your brush to touch up". I push the Botton and brush exactly where it tells me to. Once the cycle is finished it tells me I did a fabulous job. It reminds me to rinse, floss, and use mouthwash. I've been using this toothbrush for almost a week now and I can already say I'm in love with this thing. My teeth feel as if I've just left the dentist's office. They're already several shades whiter. I'm in love! I will never own anything else other than this toothbrush. Read more
