    When I received this product for testing I was extremely excited. I read the box and all of the instructions and was amazed at the features this toothbrush has. I tried it out right away and loved that the toothbrush notified me every 30 seconds to let me know when to brush another section. The vibrating of the toothbrush is a bit strong, but luckily the brush also has a sensitive mode if you have sensitive teeth, or if like me you want to use it for your tongue and gums. The toothbrush also came with another tiny bristled head for cleaning between teeth which I thought was fantastic! After using it, I decided to floss, and found that it really wasn't even necessary to floss! (though I will continue to floss anyway)
    The most remarkable thing that I found is that when I used my manual toothbrush, I always found that i could still feel plaque along the back of my teeth near the gum line (even after flossing). With the Oral-B Pulsonic though, my teeth felt the cleanest they've ever felt! I can't stress how amazed I was with how clean they felt!
    At first I was a little annoyed with the strength of the vibrations from the toothbrush, but after a few uses I got used to it and overall, I am in love with the effect of the toothbrush!

    I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review this product.

    This toothbrush is very nice. It has a light, slim toothbrush which fits comfortably in your hand. It is actually lighter than my manual toothbrush. The toothbrush has two settings: clean and sensitive. The clean is a strong vibration and the sensitive is gentler. I started with the sensitive to get used to the brushing but now can use both. The toothbrush also comes with a separate cleaner for between teeth. It's good if you really don't like to floss. Another good feature is the timer; it tells you when you have brushed every 30 seconds until you hit the two minute mark which is the recommended brushing time.

    The battery seems to last a long time and the charger takes up little space on the counter. The instruction booklet was fairly easy to understand with its use of pictures. It shows you how to brush your teeth and how to change the brushes. When I first changed the brush heads, I had to look at the booklet as I did not do it properly.
    It also tells you to put the brush in your mouth before you turn it on so that the toothpaste doesn't fly away. It's a little awkward to do this and try to find the on/off button but you get used to it.

    Overall, this is a good product. Your teeth feel clean and fresh after you brush. I notice how clean my teeth feel even one hour after brushing. Great!

    P.S. After using the toothbrush twice a day for over a week now, I'm noticing that my teeth do look whiter than I started. That is amazing!!

    I was extremely fortunate in that I was chosen to test the Oral-B Pulsonic power toothbrush by Chick Advisor and it came in the mail about a week later. If I were to just simply see this product on the shelf, I would probably have not even given it a second thought. At first glance the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush doesn't seem worth the $100 or so price tag that comes with it, in reality it just looks like a typical battery operated toothbrush with an interchangeable tip to reach the "hard to reach" spots. I was a bit skeptical as my first impression figured that there is no way that this toothbrush could clean up to 94% of the surface stains in 2 weeks. So I thought well.....let's get going and put it to the test. I immediately took the toothbrush out and charged it initially for the 12 hours like instructed. The next morning I examined the colour of my teeth and gave them a score of 6 on a scale of 1 being celebrity white to 10 being yellow-brown as shown in the tooth colour chart attached. Being that I have only had the brush for a week I can not comment on the validity of the statement above but my teeth definitely are whiter and now register a 4 on the colour chart after only 7 days. What I can tell you is that I absolutely love the way this toothbrush makes my teeth feel. They definitely have become whiter since I started using it and they feel just like they do when you come out of the dentists office after a cleaning. The first time I used the toothbrush, I used it on the regular setting. The first thing I noticed was that it tickled my lips so much that I almost couldn't get it near my teeth. Once I was able to get used to the "tickling" I found out that this setting was just too strong. I have used teeth whiteners in the past and the chemicals used have rendered my teeth sensitive. Thankfully, the Oral-B Pulsonic has a sensitive setting so I switched it on to that setting...and voila...it was perfect. I followed the instrustions once again to make sure I was using the brush properly making circular motions with the large head, then switching to the tiny head to sweep in between the teeth and along the gum line. I liked that the brush had 30 second interval timing so that you gave equal care to each quadrant of you teeth...also that it had a distinct alert telling you that 2 minutes of the recommended brush time had been reached. I will continue to used this brush and would highly recommend it to all. Thank you Chick Advisor. I would not have "discovered" this fantastic product without you!!!!

    I had the opportunity to review this product as it was sent to me. I prefer it over other electric toothbrushes as it just vibrates instead of the head spinning around. I like that its slim and not chunky or heavy. I have sensitive teeth so the sensitive setting was a bonus. This makes brushing much easier, and the two different heads are awesome. The only problem I had was taking the head off I found a bit difficult at first, prob because it was new, but it was stuck for a bit. Its good now though.

    Well, the brush is pretty good. Very good vibrations, pretty powerful. It works well, theres only one thing that I found to be difficult with it.
    The first time I put toothpaste on the brush, it vibrated right off into the sink. It took me 3 tries to get it to stay on.

    I recently had the opportunity to test this product from Chick Advisor. I love the slim design of the toothbrush, makes it very easy to travel as well as it made it very easy to use. I do wish they came with plastic covers or cases for the heads, but either way I love this product. I used it as soon as I got it in the mail - compared to my old toothbrush this far exceeds it. After I used this I felt like I had just come from the Dentists office! My teeth were super smooth and now after almost 6 days of using it I can seriously notice my teeth getting brighter. I have already considered getting more heads for my Husband so he can use this too - it's amazing, words can't really describe. I've recommended it to my Mom already and a few friends. I love how clean it makes my teeth feel!

    I was so lucky to be chosen as one of the few to do a product review on the Oral B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush. I have been using it twice a day since I got it, and I love it! The set up was so easy and so thin, it barely takes up anyroom in my bathroom and it is so easy to use.
    It definitely takes some getting used to, I had issues with my back teeth hurting while brushing, toothpaste leaking out of my mouth due to the vibrations and my gums bled for 2 days, but the instructions tell you this can happen and its harmless. I enjoy the clean feeling it gives me and it is so easy to use. Every 30 seconds it give you an indication to switch each quarter section of your mouth by pausing the vibrations for a second, then after 2 minutes are up it pauses twice in a row indicating that you have brushed long enough. It is definitely different then my manual toothbrush.
    I will be buying my husband one of these, and have already recommended it to my family and friends, its has made my mouth feel so great and clean, I recommend this to anyone who likes a good toothbrush and a nice clean mouth.

    I was able to get picked to review this item and was surprised by the difference this totthbrush could make. I did find it a little rough so I use the Sensitive setting. It does not foam up the toothpaste much but your teeth feel as clean as if you just came out of the dentist. The fact that the toothbrush has two settings is wonderful for people like me with senstive teeth. The toothbrush also lets you know when it is time to change sides so you brush thoroughly. It is expensive but worth it.

    I was so excited to be picked as one of the testers because I have always wanted to try a electronic toothbrush but didn’t want to spend the money just in case I didn’t like it. I have been using the tooth brush for about a week now and I have not had to re-charge it which is great! It has 2 settings, regular and sensitive which was good because my gums are a little sensitive at the back because my wisdom tooth is growing in, so one I reached the back I switched it to sensitive and it didn’t irritate my gums. I also really like the fact that is has a timer, it vibrates five times so you know how long to brush your each part of your teeth. At the end of each brushing my teeth felt clean like a just left the dentist chair. Only drawback I would say would be that it doesn’t have a tongue cleaner like my regular tooth brush does.
