    I was lucky enough to be sent an Oral-B® Pulsonic Power Toothbrush to try and review. I adore this electric toothbrush and so do my teeth - they have never felt cleaner. The brush is lightweight and works it’s “magic” in 2 minutes with a little help from you moving it over your pearly whites! Twice a day I get that just left the dentist feeling, and I love it! I am now a true believer in electric toothbrushes. I wish it had come with two brush heads so my husband could also take part in this cleaning experience!

    I love the Oral-B Pulsonic sonic toothbrush! I received this gem in the mail from ChickAdvisor Review Club to do a product review. Thank you. It is slim and lightweight unlike other bulky sonic brushes I have tried in the past. It feels so good on my teeth and leaves them squeaky clean. There is a 2 minute timer so that you know you have brushed your teeth long enough which I appreciate. My teeth can occasionally be sensitive but I had no problems at all with this brush.The first time I used the Oral-B Pulsonic my teeth felt like they just had a good cleaning at the dentist. I will recommend this to others and will continue using it myself. Awesome!

    First it is not heavy, not too big or bulky. It only came with one head, but I am going to look at purchasing others. It is a bit pricey. I've never used an electic toothbrush, it's like being at the dentist when the polish. Feels good, weird until you get used to it. Has 2 speeds, so you can make adjustments to how you feel or until you're used to the higher speed. Use it with a toothpaste you love and the feeling after is terrific. I would definitely recommend it to anyone or any family. Easy enough to use whatever the age.

    Since my first review disappeared, I'll try this again!

    The first day I used this toothbrush, I went a little crazy with a 10-minute brushing session. It was just so darned much fun! The next day, I had a shorter brushing session, and by day three, my teeth were extremely sensitive to touch. I ended up having to take some time off from the brush. I have been using it once every couple of days, and I still have a good deal of tooth sensitivity afterward. I am hoping that will go away with time. I do, however, worry about what the extreme amount of vibration is doing to the nerves in my teeth.

    The brush is designed well and feels good in the hand and mouth. As for the timer feature, I feel that there should be an option to turn it off. Two minutes doesn't feel like enough time to get a good cleaning for me, and I generally go through two cycles. I am sure this is contributing to my sensitivity with the brush, but 30 seconds per quadrant doesn't feel like nearly enough time.

    I use the lowest setting and avoid using the small brush more than once a week -- it does a great job of cleaning around the front teeth, but it is harsh. It is extremely hard to get in and around the back teeth with the small brush. There are very few bristles on it to absorb the vibrations, and touching the plastic to tooth surfaces doesn't feel great!

    Overall, I enjoy using the brush. I am hoping that my teeth become less sensitive to it, so I can enjoy using it more often. I am not 100% sure that it cleans better than a manual brush. The amount of discomfort I have after brushing tells me that it is either too harsh for my teeth or it is cleaning much better than my manual and my teeth will take some time to adjust. Time will tell!

    I love the feel of the toothbrush. It is lightweight, and comfortable to use, not heavy and awkward like other electric toothbrushes. It does a great job of cleaning your teeth. You can notice the difference the first time you use it, and if you switch back to your manual brush you really notice the difference. I also like that it has the 2 different power settings, as there are times when I prefer the sensitive setting. I will definitely keep using it, and I would recommend this to friends, but I think I would tell them to look for a sale, as it is quite expensive for a toothbrush!

    I received the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush through the product review club. Upon receiving it I let it charge for the recommended 12 hrs. As the handy leaflet will tell you 12 hrs of charging time will give you 30 minutes of operation time. There are two brushing modes "clean" and "sensitive". Sensitive mode is for a gentle clean for those sensitive areas in your mouth. What I really liked about the toothbrush was the timer. I definitely am not brushing my teeth for the recommended 2 minutes. So it was nice to have the timer indicate when I had brushed a certain area for 30 seconds. It pauses then continues brushing. I enjoyed how clean my teeth felt after using the Oral-B toothbrush but I really can't see myself paying $99.00 for one. I did enter a store last week and this toothbrush was on sale for $79.00, at that rate I still wouldn't pay for the toothbrush. I would really rather use my regular toothbrush and add another item to my wardrobe or something more worthwhile. Like I said the timer is handy but that's something I can be more mindful of or I can set my phone to beep after two minutes of brushing! I would recommend this to those of you who want more of a thorough brushing experience and who don't mind spending the money in order to receive one.

    While this toothbrush is expensive, I think that it's totally worth the price. I could feel a difference after just the first time using it. My teeth felt noticeably smoother and almost like just after the dentist feeling.

    We went on a last minute vacation and like usual, I forgot to pack the toothbrush. I had to make do with a manual that I bought while there, and I could feel the cleaning difference. My mouth just didn't feel as clean. I was happy to get back home to use the Pulsonic toothbrush.

    All in all, I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

    Before trying this product, I had never before had an electric toothbrush. Now that I've tried the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush, I'll never go back to a manual toothbrush. I was left with a dentist clean feel that lasted all day. This product is definitely worth trying. I'm even buying one for my husband for Christmas.

    I don't even know how to say how much I love this toothbrush! I was lucky enough to try it as part of the review panel and I love it! My husband has already gone out and purchased one so that he can use it too. I noticed a great difference in my teeth after I was done brushing. It feels like "after the dentist" clean. I also really love the pulse sounds it makes to advise you that each 30 seconds has passed and then another double pulse sound to alert you that two minutes is up. It really makes you brush your teeth for the full two minutes. This is a toothbrush that I am definitely going to be using for a long-time coming. Definitely recommended!
