Works as well as the more expensive rechargeable models, but have to replace batteries about once a month. This is my second one that I have had about a month as the first stopped working just under a month. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Seemed to be working fine, and then just stopped after a month. Tried new batteries, but they didn't work, so I assume the motor was bad. Just got a replacement , so hope it lasts longer! Drugstore.com did replace it very quickly.

I've had three of these over the last ten years. The first one was replaced under warranty. (keep your receipts). As recommended, take it apart and clean under the contacts between the brush and the inside of the handle. A little water and paste will leek into the area and cause a poor contact, making you think that the battery is dead, when it is not. Also, when replacing the batteries (Maybe once a month) use rechargeable batteries. There is a rubber gasket around the cap covering the batteries. I use an old regular tooth brush to clean away any debris, let it dry completely before pitting it back together and put a little vaseline around the gasket to make it close tightly without banging on it! I always do a quick squeeze with a towel around the bristles after I use and rinse it, to limit the amount of water that will seep in around the brush area. If it's maintained, it will last a long time. The brushes last an incredibly long time compared to a regular manual tooth brush.

This toothbrush cleans very well, but I've gone through 3 of these toothbrushes within the past year. The batteries don't last more than 2 weeks, and is a pain to change. Not easy to open the bottom, have to use a nail file. After a couple of months, even after changing the batteries, the toothbrush stops working altogether. Sometimes, by tapping it on a hard surface to jostle the batteries, I'm able to get it to work again. Then, it stops sporatically. I'm lucky if I can brush all my teeth one time around. And..it's been with all 3 toothbrushes. The last one stopped after a week, and I put in Duracell batteries. I've had the same problem with the rechargable ones, too. After a couple of months, they stop working too, or doesn't get enough charge and the ultrasonic feature is too weak to work properly. I had throw out 2 rechargable toothbrushes. They were expensive, and can't be fixed. I figured I'd try the battery ones, so at least, I can change the batteries. All in all, Philips company send out a lot of defective products and don't take the time for quality control and fix these defects. When they work, they're a great toothbrush. Too expensive to keep wasting my money. Not recommended!

NOT waterproof (duh!) You can manage to not get water on inside, but kinda tricky. Cleans great though.

VA recommended this after first deployment. It survived second 12 month deploymeent to Afghanistan and constant use thru' present. Rechargable batteries last for many weeks with 2x/day use per charge. Almost as good as flossing if used 2 min minimum, 2X/day diligently. Check every several weeks if need to take apart+clean if liquids penetrate into head. Recommend most highly for durable, practical, highly effective care.

As a business traveler I put it in my brief case and use it after meals so my mouth is always clean. No worries about having a charger. Product needs a low battery warning so you wouldn't have to carry extras. Also, a cloth cover would be nice to have.

I bought this version when my original Sonicare wouldn't hold a charge very long, intending to use my own high-quality, low-discharge NiMH rechargeable AAs in it. This has worked PERFECTLY for 3 years now, with the bonus of "zero recharge time" since I can pop in a new set of batteries and not have to wait for it to charge. Rechargeables last a nice, long time, and when they give out in 1-2 years (like in the original), I can just put new ones in for $2-3, instead of replacing the whole unit like with the built-in batteries. Old, dying batteries give poorer brushing quality, which defeats the whole purpose of the brush! (Same with old brush heads, BTW).

One cannot tell how well it works because the noise on this model was somewhat deafening! So I returned it and doubt that I will try another.
