First of all, thank you so very much for the opportunity to try out this product. What a wonderful early Christmas present, and like most Christmas presents, I was surprised and so excited to receive, unwrap and use this for the very first time! I couldn't wait, I used this product as soon as I got it back home and I've been using it non-stop ever since!
This product is an excellent alternative to any ordinary toothbrush, and even to many similar products on the market today. It is very lightweight, user friendly, and non obtrusive. The timer which signals when it is both time to switch areas and when it is time to stop brushing is an amazing little addition to this wonderful dental device.
Like probably most people out there, I worry about whether I am brushing too long or not long enough, and to have a device such as this tell me when I need to change areas, or when to stop, is nothing short of amazing.
I also appreciate how gently it brushes, and how it doesn't feel like the dental equivalent of a jackhammer going to work on your teeth. I have found, with other devices, that this is sometimes the case and it is so refreshing to know that a product doesn't have to be that aggressive to do its job.
Overall, I am smitten with this product and cannot see myself ever going back to a regular toothbrush again. Thank you again for the chance to try this out, and for letting the Pulsonic and I find each other :)
The Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush is an awesome product- I can't think of anything I don't like about this product! It's got a lovely slim body and a smallish brush head that allows you to reach all of your teeth quite easily. The 30 second timer blips that remind you to move on to the next quadrant are so helpful and also the 2 minute mark blip that signals you to finish brushing. These are really great features. I was a bit worried about the vibration but it turns out that it's mostly absorbed by the teeth and not by the hand that holds the brush. The base unit is nice and compact and takes up very little room on the counter. That's a really great plus for this unit as compared to others I have seen. One thing I really love about the electronic brush: it cleans so well with next to no effort. I have a tendency to brush too hard when I use a manual brush so the Oral B Pulsonic is really great because it does the brushing, not me! It's great to know your toothbrush is doing such a good job cleaning and you don't have to worry about being too rough on your gums. I could barely feel anything happening but when I rinsed, I could tell that it had done a fantastic job. My teeth feel so,so clean after using the power toothbrush. I love that feeling! I will definitely reccommend this toothbrush to family and friends and consider purchasing some to give as gifts. There is so better gift than a healthy smile!
Thank-you Chick Advisor for this early Christmas present- much appreciated!
The Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush is awesome!
I absolutely love this product and am very impressed!
Having tried other battery and power toothbrushes I found this one far exceeds any others!
I am a toothbrushing junkie! I love that clean fresh mouth feeling! The Oral-B Pulsonic gives you that just from the dentist squeeky clean mouth feeling!
It is a sleek, slim and light toothbrush! Very easy to clean and wipe off! It takes up little space and is rechargable. It holds its charge well too! You can charge it and take it on short trips with no worries. I love that it comes with two brush heads... one "normal" brushing head which is slim and can reach those back teeth and a slimmer head to get those tricky spots! Other brushes I have tried were clunky, large and awkward...not something I stuck with as I returned to using manual brushes. This toothbrush is a gem! It is also very quiet! No one wants to hear a weedwacker sounding toothbrush first thing in the am! The 30 second pulse reminder is a genius idea!
After using the Oral-B Pulsonic toothbrush for 2 weeks my teeth were noticably whiter! It is great for stubborn teeth stains. It has superb scrubbing power without being too harsh. I have a couple really sensitive teeth and it did not irritate them.
I am totally in love with this toothbrush and recommend/rave about it to others. Some people will be getting them as a fantastic gift this year!
A couple suggestions would be:
to make the packaging writing larger and stand out more.. it would be very hard to read for elderly or visually challenged people.
it would also be fantastic and hygenic to have a brush cover!
Thank you for the opportunity and keep smiling everyone!
I love it! It's easy to use with its slender handle. The Pulsonic is not bulky and doesn't feel like a huge contraption in my mouth. The vibration isn't as intense as other brushes and it’s pretty quiet, yet I prefer it this way. The Oral B 7400 is extremely LOUD compared to the Pulsonic. I love the timer that lets me know when it hits 30 seconds so I know how much time I've spent in each "quadrant" of my mouth. The Pulsonic keeps going even after two minutes which is something I like better than the Sonicare essence 5300. The Pulsonic is designed so that water doesn't get trapped and get moldy. The only downside about the Pulsonic is that you cannot tell how much battery life is left. Other than that, I was very pleased with the Pulsonic! My mouth feels fresh and cleaner than ever! I will definitely repurchase for my friends and family!
I wasn't sure about this toothbrush, but I was definitely convinced that this is the best way to brush your teeth!! I love how clean they feel afterwards, it really makes me look forward to taking the time to brush my teeth~!
I love my Oral -B toothbrush, I would never give it up. It is the closest I have come to a cleaning at the dentist without going. Before Oral - B I only thought I was getting a good brushing, but didn't know how clean they could feel with just a toothbrush. If I had to say one negative thing about it, it would be that I wish the brush was bigger, it is kinda small, but I wouldn't give it up because of that. It still does a superb job!!!
First of all, I would like to thank ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to review this product. I have not previously tried a rechargeable power toothbrush because it's pretty costly and I was doubtful on whether it could really deliver its promise of cleaning better than any other toothbrush including the Oral-B Spinbrush battery-powered toothbrush I was currently using. After using the Oral-B Pulsonic for almost 2 weeks, I would definitely spend the extra money to purchase this product.
COMPONENTS AND FEATURES
The package comes with: a charging unit/ stand, a handle with an on/off button, a regular brush head, a precision tip brush head, and a manual.
The brush also has two settings. In addition to the CLEAN setting designed for brushing the teeth, it also comes with a SENSITIVE setting for cleaning sensitive areas such as in between teeth and massaging the gums
THE ADVANTAGE
Its compact and slim design - The Oral-B Spinbrush I previously used comes with a fairly thick handle with a rubber grip allowing for a comfortable hold. I was a little concerned with the Pulsonic since it had a cylindrical plastic handle with no rubber grips. However, because the handle was slim and long, it actually allowed for a stronger grip and more precise maneuvers with the brush. Similarly, the slim brush heads also allowed easier brushing of the molars and more precise cleaning. In addition, the oscillating motion of the brush is superior to other power toothbrushes that only have brush heads that spin or vibrate back and forth. The whole unit takes up very little room, thus it's ideal for small spaces such as in an apartment or dorm room bathrooms. Similarly, its slim design makes it ideal to bring on travels.
It's rechargeable- You can leave the unit plugged in all the time and just place the handle back on the charging unit to always maintain a full battery. Unlike the battery-powered toothbrush I had used previously, I don't have to worry about buying extra replacement batteries, thus the Pulsonic is more environmentally friendly. The other con I found with battery-powered toothbrushes is that the vibrations are slowed with low battery power, thus resulting in reduced cleaning power. A full battery of the Pulsonic will also allow a whole week of regular brushing (2x/day), again making it ideal for travelling.
The Interchangeable Brush Heads - I like that it comes with two brush heads that are ideally designed for cleaning different parts of the mouth. The regular brush head comes with bristles shaped to countour around your teeth, thus it is able to clean better than flat brush heads.
The Precision Tip brush head is ideal for getting in between teeth and under the gums, again being able to clean better than other manual and power toothbrushes. For those who hate flossing, specially kids, this is an easier and gentler alternative. Cleaning with the Precision Tip brush head also fosters healthy gums.
Its Cleaning Power and The Timer- To meet the recommended 2-minute brush time, it is advised that each quadrant of the mouth is cleaned for 30 seconds. The Pulsonic gives a short pulse every 30 seconds, thus you will brush the appropriate amount each time.
I have been using the brush for about 2 weeks and have noticed the difference between using my battery-operated toothbrush and the Oral-B Pulsonic. The Pulsonic is a lot quieter and the vibrations are a lot more gentle on the teeth. Most importantly, it definitely cleans a lot better and I have noticed that my gums also look healthier after using it.
THE CONS
The brush is designed for use in the bathroom (with its very compact, space-saver design and short wire) and you can plug it in and leave the unit on a bathroom counter. However, I don't find leaving toothbrushes in the bathroom sanitary and I wished the brush heads came with brush guards.
My other complaint would be the short wire. Not all my washrooms conveniently have an outlet by the counter and it would have been beneficial to have a longer wire.
The 30-second pulse is very subtle and is sometimes missed. It would have been better if it beeped instead of the short pulse. Lastly, while the slim and long handle allows for a comfortable grip, I would still prefer having a rubber grip around the handle because it does get slippery if it gets wet.
This toothbrush is fantastic!!!! My mouth feels so clean and fresh afterwards! It removes all the plaque and is in-btween tight spots as well.
I especially love how gentle the bristles are. Another great feature is how it beeps to let you know when it's time to move on to another section of your mouth.
I think it is also reasonably priced and great value for your money. I reveived this free to reveiw, however I would definitely buy it on my own. Oral-B is a name you can trust to make good quality products.
I love this product!!!!!!!!!
I received this product through the Product Review Club and absolutely LOVE it.
One of the best features are the timer feature. Every 30 sec it vibrates to remind you to move on to the next section of your teeth and at the end of 2 minutes it pulsates to suggest you finish brushing; how cool is that?
I also liked the light-weight feel of the brush and how it was made so it could easily reach the back teeth.
If you have never used an electronic toothbrush before, you will love the feel of it.
A definite winner!
