Having always used a manual toothbrush I decided to switch to an electric toothbrush after a friend had recommended it to me.
And I'm really pleased I did, this was money well worth spent! My teeth have never felt so clean!
All the other reviews on here have said it all for me so I'm not going to go into any more detail!
Enough said.. What are you waiting for?
Ubelievable cleaning! January 16, 2008

I have had a Braun Oral B electric toothbrush for years, and loved it dearly until it disintegrated the other day.
So I invested, and at this price its an investment!, in a new one.
I am blown away.
First of all the design is very attractive.
Secondly, its nice to see how much charge it has in it, I go away a lot, so its good to know if you have to charge it before setting off for a few days.
Then there is the brushing guide. I had put this down to being a gimmick, but its very useful. It shows whether you are brushing too hard, reminds you when to change brush heads etc.
Then there are the two supplied brush heads, my teeth have never been so clean. Very clean.
So if you want an advanced toothbruch that gets your teeth clean.
Has programmes to massage gums etc.
Warns you if you brush too hard.
Warns you if it needs charging.
Warns you when you need a new head.
And looks pleasing to the eye, then this is the one for you.

The Triumph consists of two main parts, the brush handle with brush head and the wireless SmartGuide unit. The handle communicates with the SmartGuide to relay information on which of four pre-programmed brush actions you're using, how much time has elapsed since you started and which area of your mouth you should be cleaning. It also gives you a visual (but not audible) warning if you're brushing too hard and will advise you when each brush head needs replacing. Two brushes are included in the package, one a FlossAction for everyday use, and the other a ProBright for occasional polishing; inserting one of them into the handle will automatically select the appropriate brush action, which is then displayed on the SmartGuide unit.
Electric toothbrushes do take some getting used to if you've only ever had manual brushes but once you get into a routine the whole experience does leave your teeth feeling cleaner and with less chance of causing damage to your gums than a conventional brush. The brush gives around an hour of total use from a 12 hour charge and the whole thing (handle as well) is waterproof, which makes cleaning after use much easier than older brushes - you just run it under a tap and wipe it dry on a towel. You also get a travel case included so can take the brush with you on holiday. I would add that the handle is a little heavy and somewhat ungainly in the hand at first, whilst the placing of the buttons makes them a bit easy to press in the middle of a clean, so changing the action just when you don't want it.
The SmartGuide itself is a nice inclusion that does look good and gives some useful information, although if I'm brutally honest it's by no means an indispensable addition. It isn't illuminated, which could be an annoyance if you have a poorly lit bathroom, and it can be a bit of a pain to keep it in view when brushing so I find myself not looking at it which kind of defeats the purpose of having it. The handle vibrates slightly at given intervals while you brush to advise you on timing and I tend to use this rather than the timer shown on the SmartGuide.
Like all Oral B toothbrushes, this one cleans well and should last a long time of use. The SmartGuide is a nice but not essential inclusion and replacement brush heads are pretty expensive, but you do seem to get quite a lot for your money with this package. If you like electric toothbrushes then you'll really like this one; if you've yet to try one but the price is putting you off then maybe consider going for a cheaper oral B brush or the Triumph without the SmartGuide as I doubt you'd miss it too much.

This toothbrush is excellent! After only 7 days regular usage my teeth felt much smoother and cleaner and also looked whiter. The smartguide is a brilliant tool and proved to me that I was previously brushing too forcibly. A must-have for anyone that wants to keep to teeth in good condition.
Really does clean your teeth December 28, 2007

This is a brilliantly engineered product and after you use it you will feel that your teeth have really been cleaned in the same way that the dentist does. The tootbrush has a rotary action and comes with colour coded brushes for both normal cleaning and polishing your teeth (as well as different colours for other users). The progress of your clean is shown on the cordless LCD display (by radio link from the tootbrush unit) which gets you to divide your mouth up into four quartiles for brushing and encourages you to devote 30 seconds to each one (pulsating at "changeover" to the next section of your teeth). The remote LCD display will also indicate if you use too much pressure and when you have brushed for 2 minutes a smiling face acknowledges your effort. There are a variety of toothbrush settings - normal, polish etc. plus an LCD display on the toothbrush unit itself to show the charge left in the batteries.
You will soon get the hang of using this well conceived product. It is an excellent toothbrush in terms of design and build as well as outcome - it really does leave your mouth feeling extra fresh. A highly recommended investment that could save on your dental bills making it easily worth the money.
