Customer Reviews

OK at best
This is a good electric toothbrush and great for travel as the 2 AA batteries last months. However, we've been through three of them in two years. Expect them to last about a year. As with other Braun toothbrushes, the brush tips are expensive and can be hard to find. Our local grocery chain discontinued all Braun/OralB toothbrushes and tips.The customer service people at both Walgreens and Eckerd tell me they just can't get their orders filled. This went on for the better part of 2003 and we finally picked some up during a trip to Europe.

I switched from a rechargeable Braun as I got tired of the rechargeable batteries losing their ability to hold a charge after a couple of years. Even if the AA battery models only last a year they are a much cheaper both initially and over the long run. They do vibrate a bit more but clean just as well and I find the shape much easier to handle than the rechargeable models.

get the Vitality . . .
Braun's competitively priced electric powered toothbrushes are very good values and reliable performers. Most models use the same rotating type replacement toothbrush heads.

The Advance Power 4500PX Bright D4510, like most electric toothbrushes that use AA batteries, delivers significantly lower brushing torque than a toothbrush with a built-in rechargeable battery, such as Braun's Vitality model. The Vitality may cost a little more, but it delivers a lot more brushing power, and the high capacity battery allows for many uses between recharges.

Both Braun models will do a good job, however the faster more powerful Vitality, will probably get more done in the same amount of time. Given the small price differential, and long life rechargeable battery, the Vitality would seem to be a much better value. Those who prefer a more gentle brushing action, can go with the 4500PX, or any of the multitude of AA battery powered toothbrushes available.

Perfect.
I've got three of these, and they're great. They seem to last forever, but I broke one's end cap by dropping it, and I wanted a spare to leave in my travel toilet kit.

The last one I received had the timer, which is kind of silly. It stutters after a minute (I timed it).

One downside is the heads, which wear out and are expensive. [...] sells them in bulk, though...
