    I have been using the new Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush for just over a week and I love it!!! When I received the toothbrush, I plugged it in for the recommended 12 hours and then I gave it a try. It is so simple to use, and the instructions are clear and precise. There are 2 heads that come with the Pulsonic, one for regular brushing and a precision tip for between teeth. There are 2 settings: clean (regular) and sensitive which is for the tongue and between teeth, (though I suppose you could use this if you found some tooth sensitivity from the regular clean mode). I found the toothbrush easy to use, because it has a 2 minute timer. It "breaks" at 30 second intervals to let you know it is time to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. At the end of the 2 minutes it "breaks" twice to let you know you are done! The toothbrush moves at about 27,000 "gentle sonic vibrations" per minute, which is supposed to help whiten teeth. After using this product for about a week, and have noticed a slight difference in colour and my teeth seem brighter! Each time I use the toothbrush I feel like I have just had my teeth cleaned at the dentist. I also find that my teeth feel clean throughout the day, even after eating (if I do not brush again). Compared to a manual toothbrush, my teeth feel cleaner and look brighter and whiter. The precision tip did cause a bit of bleeding, which , according to the instructions is normal, and should go away in 2 weeks. I do have a bit of tooth sensitivity, but have not noticed any sensitivity using the Oral-B Pulsonic compared to my regular manual toothbrush. The head of the brush is the perfect size. It rolls over teeth and gums without being too bulky in your mouth. I found the bristles of the head to be comparable to a medium bristle manual toothbrush. I also like the size of the charger base. It takes up a very small space on the counter. This is nothing like the power toothbrushes I remember!!! Overall, I highly recommend this product for its cleaning ability, ease of use and dual modes.

    I was also lucky enough to be chosen to review this product and was so excited when I received it in the mail. I've never actually used an electric tooth brush before so I didn't really know what to expect. I've been very pleasantly surprised by this product because I don't really think I believed it could be better than manually cleaning my teeth. I was most-definitely wrong. I use it 2 times per day and my mouth always feels as though I've just come from having my teeth cleaned at the dentist - which I love! I'm looking forward to my next check-up to see if my dentist notices a difference. I'm also really happy with it's size; it's not bulky at all, like I'd expected. It fits in my toiletry bag, like my old tooth brush would.
    Thanks Chick Advisor!! I'd highly recommend this tooth brush!!

    I was lucky enough to chosen by Chick Advisor to use and rate Oral B's Pulsonic Power Toothbrush. This was my first time using an electrical powered toothbrush and to be honest, I was at first skeptical about how it would differ from a regular manual toothbrush. Boy, was I wrong! After only one use, I felt like my teeth were cleaner and more polished than I could ever get them with a manual toothbrush. I've been using this toothbrush twice a day for less than a week and I already notice visibly cleaner teeth. I also appreciate how slim it is and how the small stand doesn't take up much room on my bathroom countertop. I love my new toothbrush, and I'm excited to see a whiter smile soon too!

    This was the first time I'd ever tried an electric toothbrush and the first few days while I got used to it - the movement, discovering how much pressure to use (turns out a great deal in my case), and how to get the toothpaste to stay on (I really squish it into the bristles) - were a bit rough.

    However, I've been using it another week since we made friends and I feel that throughout the day my teeth feel smoother, and a few days ago I noticed my teeth looking whiter - I hadn't realized that was part of the deal until recently! I've never used anything to whiten my teeth previous to this, and I drink a lot of tea, so that's saying something. I also get a stain on one of my front teeth that my dentist usually has to buff off, but I can already see it fading!

    I also like the narrow head of the brush because I have all of my wisdom teeth and the shape makes it very easy to clean those teeth without hitting the gag reflex.

    It was a rough start but I'm glad I stuck with it!

    The only downside is that I don't have a place in my bathroom to charge it continuously, but I'm so impressed that I will find a way to deal with that.

    I was lucky enough to get picked to review the ORAL-B Pulsonic power toothbrush!! Thank you Chick Advisor! I had thought about buying one before but the price put me off a little, i dont mind spending the money if its a great product but we have all bought things and they dont stack up, well not it this case. I LOVE this toothbrush!!!! Even the first time i used it I cannot believe how great my teeth felt like just coming from a dental cleaning! Amazing. Everytime i use it I feel my teeth get whiter and brighter! I''ll admit I probably wasnt doing the full two recomended minutes before but with the timer you are reminded to change quadrants in your mouth until you have brushed for the full two minutes. Ive also noticed that there is not as much plaque left behind for when i floss! I use the toothbrush on the sensitive setting because the only small problem i had at first was getting used to the vibrating it seemed a little much, it didnt hurt or anything just prefer the sensitive setting!

    When I received the toothbrush in the mail, my initial reaction was "hmm another one of those disposable power toothbrushes" but to my surprise, I found a SIGNIFICANT difference in quality versus manual toothbrushes AND the other power toothbrushes in the market. I was impressed by the feather lightweight and the slim handle. Though small in size, the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush packed a mighty punch. Took some getting used to as the vibration is almost "ticklish"! I love the built in timer that lets you know when to switch to the next quadrant of your mouth. It also lets you know that you have brushed your teeth for the full, dentist recommended 2 minutes. After using this toothbrush for about two weeks, I have noticed that my teeth feel much cleaner, brighter & whiter. The "clean" feeling also lasts way longer. I look forward to tossing out my old crappy manual toothbrush and will use the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush going forward!

    I recently got this toothbrush through the chickadvisor review club. I've always wanted one of these toothbrushes because i had heard positive things about them but couldn';t bring myself to spend the coin. Let me tell you that the effectiveness of the toothbrush is excellent. The feeling of the toothbrush in your mouth is a little bit weird at first but very easy to get used to. Once you get the hang of it the timer that is built into the toothbrush is great in making sure that each quadrant of your teeth get thoroughly cleaned. I started off using the clean funchtion, which is the highest, but found that my gums were a tad sore the next day and I switched to the sensitive function and have had no further complaints. The packaging also state that the toothbrush whitens your teeth with regular use and I fully believe that because my teeth feel so smooth and clean I can't imagine that there can be any stains left behind. I don;t believe I've used the product long enough to see any visible results but with every use I am confident in the fact that there will be. The extra attachment for between the teeth is an awesome bonus that comes in handy and I use it in addition to flossing. Overall a great power toothbrush and I will continue to use it and replace the head as needed. A positive review that I will be sharing with my friends and family.

    I was able to try the oral b pulsonic from chick advisor! I have to say that I LOVE the toothbrush. My teeth feel so smooth now, and I can tell that it is cleaning my teeth way better than just my old normal toothbrush used to. I also love that it has a function that allows me to know how long I have been brushing so that i can be sure I am brushing long enough. The toothbrush is really easy to use. You just hit a button once to start it for regular brushing and hit a second time to go on sensitive brushing. I have been using the sensitive brushing fuction because my teeth are senstitive and its just right. I would forsure reccomend others to use this product. I would probably use this product in the future because I am really happy with it.

    Thank you Chickadvisor and Oral-B for the opportunity to try this power toothbrush.I have never tried a power toothbrush before only a standard manual toothbrush.I have to say I'm in LOVE with this toothbrush.I received this toothbrush a week ago and have been using it morning and night the results are fantastic.

    It comes in attractive packing that catches your eye,clearly explaining the toothbrush and its functions on the box.Its easy to remove minimal packaging waste.There are simple easy to read instructions and diagrams in a small little pamphlet that I read first off before doing anything.

    Inside the box you will find a brush head,precision tip,the handle with on/off/setting functions(clean and sensitive),charge indicator,charging unit with a handle stand and release button.The charging unit is really small and compact and even has mounting spaces on the back if you want to hang it on your wall.This is perfect for me as my bathroom is super small and I have no counter space at all.I have hung it on my wall near my sink/plugin and it looks so attractive hanging up.

    It states to charge the unit for 12 hours which will provide an operation time of approx 30 minutes.For everyday use it states the handle can be stored on the charger all the time to maintain full power.You cannot over charge the toothbrush it says so knowing this I just leave it charging in the stand which makes it look so much nicer.

    The toothbrush handle has two attachments the brush head and precision tip.They are very easy to set up just slide whichever you choice to use onto the handle and turn gently until it clicks into place.The toothbrush will automatically start when turned on to the clean mode when pressing the on/off button.To shift to sensitive press again,press again to turn off.

    I wet my toothbrush and apply toothpaste(you dont need much a little goes a long way!)to avoid splashing or toothpaste flying everywhere put the power brush in your mouth and then turn on.I have tried both speeds but really prefer the sensitive mode I find its very effective.There is slight vibrations in your mouth but that never bothered me.It also states the first few days your gums may bleed slightly.I did not have this problem at all.

    There is a timer a short beeping sound at 30 minute intervals(like a break)which you will hear and feel against your teeth.This reminds you to brush all four areas of your mouth for equal cleaning.A long beeping stutter indicates when the recommended 2- minute brushing is done.I find I keep brushing longer then the recommended timer.

    After I use the brush head I switch to the precision tip.I LOVE this little brush tip!It really feels like my gum line is getting a massage.I clean between teeth and slowly along the gum line at each tooth it really feels great.Then I rinse both very well and replace in there spots in the charger storage.The charging unit can also be cleaned by removing the handle stand by pushing the release button on top of the charging unit very easy!Also be sure to replace new brush heads recommended every THREE months when the bristles will begin to get worn out from regular use.I have not priced the heads yet but see from other reviewers they are around $20 for a pack..

    After a week of using this power brush my teeth feel and look so much healthier and clean like they were polished.My dentist will surely be patting me on the back when he sees my teeth.I actually look forward to cleaning my teeth with this brush.I have been recommending and telling everyone about this power brush it is well worth the price.Teeth are so important to take care of and really one of the first things you notice about a person.Someone with nice healthy teeth and a nice smile just cant be beat.So buying this power brush is making a good investment for your appearance and health your teeth will thank you for it!

    I forgot to mention that the handle along with the brush attachments are so light and comfortable to use you wouldn't believe that it has so much power in it.
