Customer Reviews

Fantastic Toothbrush, No longer available!
This is a fantastic toothbrush, but apparently it is not compatible with peroxide & baking soda toothpaste. I think there have been some instances of brush heads breaking in peoples' mouths. Crest has pulled the product from retailers and claims to be working on the problem.

I hope they get the problem fixed and re-introduce the product. For now, I can't find replacement heads anywhere.

Remarkable Value
Recently my dental hygienist recommended the sonicare, but suggested using an inexpensive electric toothbrush first to see if I generally liked the experience. I've been using the Spinbrush Pro Soft for awhile now and I really like it. It comes with two Alkaline AA batteries which are easily replaced, unlike the sonicare where the rechargeable batteries cannot be replaced. The replaceable heads are also quite inexpensive. The Spinbrush is quiet and fits easily in the mouth unlike my wife's Interplak Rotary brush. It did take a while to get the "feel" of the brush. It doesn't provide the same tactile feedback as a manual brush which I find is easier to get into all the nooks and crannies. But now that I'm used to it I find I use the Spinbrush most of the time. Highly recommended!

Great way to fight gingivitis
My sister and her husband each have a Crest SpinBrush and kept telling me how great they are. I must say, I'm a believer now. I have lived with gingivitis for years. I brush every day, but my flossing habits aren't the best. Only having used this product for a week and I can already see a reduction in gum swelling. REALLY! ONE WEEK! I'm still amazed.

Yes, it's makes noise, but it's not deafening. It's not a loud as say a hair trimmer, so yes it's very tolerable. If you're worried about the noise being amplified by your jawbone inside your head, relax. When it's just the bristles against your teeth, there's no noise, but if the back of the brush head touches an opposing tooth, yup your head rings out, but that only happens once or twice to me when brushing.

The main thing that surprised me is it's very relaxing to brush my teeth now. I never timed my brush habits, but I think I'm taking longer. The drum of the motor and the feel of the moving bristles on my teeth is somewhat soothing. Maybe I'm just crazy, wouldn't be the first time.

The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because now that I've checked the replacement heads for the Crest are a little more expensive that for other competing models. Still worth it for better gum health though!

Update 10/23/09: OK I'm giving it 5 out of 5 stars. I just ordered/received the Amazon soft bristle replacements and the cost was for two 2 packs (that's 4 heads). That's a reasonable price. Also, the original alkalines still going strong!
