Electric toothbrush - yay or nay?

[slug 1]

Hi Newbie

Don't know if you guy's get free dental care over thee but the machine is well worth the $$$.

Know anyone comeing to the US for a visit? with the weak dollar etc might be able to bring you a duty free gift.

We have the model befor this one even less $$$$ if your tight on cash. Our battery recharger is only 120 volts beware

I have a Sonicare brush and it is very nice.

I take a std brush with me when I go places but its all I use at home. Its easy to tell the difference.

Ok so i'm inspired to post this after my afternoon trip to the dentist. There, like the hallowed Exaclibur on their front desk, was the toothbrush i have been salivating over for the last 6 months. Toothbrushes normally don't excite me that much, but this one looks great (see below)

To date i have only ever used manual toothbrushes - the wife uses a fairly standard electric and many people say they are WAY better than regular ones. I haven't been bothered about upgrading until i saw this...the Sonicare Elite range.

It's DAMN expensive though (i think it's about £100 here in the UK), but man oh MAN it looks like the daddy of all toothbrushes.

So - should i go electric, and if so, is it worth the upgrade to "The Daddy", or should i just pick something up for £20 and be happy without all the bells and whistles.

Also, has anyone gone electric and not been happy, and then switched back to manual?

Thanks.

That really depends -

If you get the right model - it could have "Many" uses. When you cost average the saved income on multiple battery devices and simple battery cost - you might end up saving money in the long run.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
