Dead in two months - buyer beware

Petross
I was pleased to find this toothbrush in the store. It seemed to be an excellent value--Oral-B quality, battery operated, pulsar technology. I was very happy with the way it worked and how clean my teeth felt after brushing. Well, after two months the battery died. I was very surprised and displeased to learn the battery is NOT replaceable. As it turns out I spent premium money on what is now a mediocre toothbrush (since it is made to function best with the pulsing motion). Why would they sell a product such as this?

I'm sorry the OralB Pulsar stopped working so quickly. We have strict quality standards and wouldn't expect this. Please consider giving us a call at (800) 566-7252 so we can learn more. Thanks!

Great alternative to electrics!

Coaster
Bought this product for a sensory challenged person that can't use even a spin brush, but needs the additional help as they aren't getting clean enough with just plain brushing.
They don't tolerate using the vibration the entire time they are brushing their teeth, but will brush normally with it, then turn on the vibration and brush the "hot spots" - just hold the tooth brush in place and let the vibration do the work.
There is a noticable difference visibly, and they tell me their teeth "feel all smooth".
I also find this is a nice alternative to packing my expensive Sonicare toothbrush when I am travelling.

Was excited about this product - now disapointed.

lovingpecan
The package says the battery will last for 3 months (life of the toothbrush). I've had it for less than a month, and this morning when I turned it on, there was very little "juice" and I had to use it manually for the most part. This is disapointing. Seeing as I bought a 2 pack for around $8, the battery power was really what I was paying for. I have to admit, I'm bummed that it is already going ka-put. I don't really want to go back to manuals as this seemed like it would be better for dental health, but that may be more economical given that the effectiveness may be about the same (considering that I am doing the work myself). :-(

That is a bummer your brush went ka put so soon. Our battery toothbrushes should last approximately 3 to 5 years. On average, the batteries should last approximately 360 minutes. Since this was not your experience we welcome you call. We're here 9am-6pm. Have brush handy when you call. 1-800-566-7252.

Unique toothbrush

bowser5x5
Very nice toothbrush with a unique vibrating action. Soft bristles with some paddles thrown in, hefty feel with good balance. The problem is when you're swapping out the AAA battery - it just doesn't want to come out and when you put the new one in (if you can) it fails to work properly.
