    This is a great product! I am very happy with it. I have slightly sensitive teeth and gums and have had issues in the past with other brushes being too harsh. This brush head is soft enough to not irritate my gums but powerful enough that I feel my teeth are getting a deep cleaning without any irritation. It is nice and slender and comfortable to hold. And the timer is a nice touch, especially for those who tend to rush through their brushing. I definitely recommend the Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush.

    This toothbrush is amazing! It makes you feel like you have had a professional cleaning every day. As I am on a blood thinner my gums tend to bleed at times if brush too hard ect. But using this brush on sensitive setting has not given me any issues with bleeding or irritation. In fact it feels more gentle than a regular tooth brush. I would recommend this toothbrush to anyone!

    I've used a spin brush in the past and was never a big fan of it. I found it didn't do a good job of cleaning my teeth. I am very blessed with white teeth, but in the very recent past when I bought and tried another spin brush, my teeth stopped looking so shiny white after a week of use!

    I always did want to try another brand, just to see if I was unlucky or if spin brushes really don't suit me.

    What I look for on any toothbrush is:
    -thoroughly cleans my teeth & between my teeth
    -doesn't irritate my gums
    -it keeps my teeth looking white

    I was so happy to get selected for this review, because I've been seeing ads for this product all over TV and it looks so good, but with my previous bad experience with spin brushes, I didn't want to take the risk and invest that sort of money on something that won't suit me.

    First time I used it, I was a bit startled at the feel of it in my mouth. Felt very vigorous, if that makes any sense? The old spin brush I tried I felt wasn't forceful enough, this one felt just right. It didn't hurt my gum or sensitize me at all. After the first use I felt like I really cleaned my teeth. But since I care more about the long term I kept using this spin brush exclusively for over a week now, twice a day to see if it really does what it's supposed to.

    After a week of use I can in good conscience recommend this product. It cleans my teeth very well, keeps my teeth white, feeling clean, and doesn't irritate my gum. The only thing is I had to get used to the vibrating / pulsing sensation, but that didn't take too long either. This is in fact so good that I bought the extra heads so my husband can use it too. He absolutely loves it!! He's a bit of a teeth freak, and he loved the way this baby cleaned his teeth too. I don't believe he's had any gum irrigation either, and he's told me that he really feels this cleans better than traditional brushing. On top of it's performance, I find the battery lasts a while too. I charge it at night after the last brushing, and I've never had it run out of power on me yet.

    All in all, I would definitely recommend this product. It is pricey but if you buy one unit and several heads (colour code them with nailpolish or something so you don't accidentally use your hubbys *yuck*), it's worth the price.

    This does what it claims to do, and I'm very happy with it.

    The Oral-B Pulsonic power toothbrush has cut the work of the hygeniest down by half! Reviewing this product was great, everyday was like having a profesional brush your teeth, minus the price tag.

    The slim sleek design of the brush is very sheek, it looks great on the counter. The thin base of the brush allows for easy handling. My favorite feature of course was the timer, helping to make sure that you don't over clean your teeth. I hope this doesn't mean I can't waste my time getting ready in the morning!

    One word - upgrade! Your worth every pulse!

    I have always used a manual brush, tried a few battery ones in the past and didn't find they really did anything more for my teeth so went back to the manual as it was cheaper! I was lucky enough to be selected to try the new Oral-B Pulsonic and was sceptical of course as in the past battery ones seemed to be nothing better.

    When it arrived I loved the fact it was lightweight and slim very easy to hold. Also loved the fact of the internal timer and notifier to let you know when you were done that "section" of brushing! The two speeds are perfect for getting the teeth clean then lessening the speed for more sensitive areas like the tongue and gums.

    I have been using it religiously since getting it and have to say as a smoker who had stains on my teeth and even worse stains behind my bottom teeth within a week the stains have lessened by at least 75%. I can see them getting less and less each day and it is making me more confident and happy that a battery brush actually is doing what it says it will do.

    I suggest anyone and everyone to have this brush it is by far an amazing tool for oral heath and I actually cant wait to go to my dentist to see the surprise on his face when he sees how white my teeth are :) He might just think I quit smoking!

    I LOVE my Oral-B Pulsonic Toothbrush! I had been looking at purchasing an electric toothbrush for the past couple of months and jumped at the chance to review it for ChickAdvisor.

    My favourite feature is the Timer, which gives a short stuttering sound you can hear and feel at 30 second intervals. I found it much easier then counting in my head to the recommended 2 minute brushing time. Using the Oral-B Pulsonic is easier for me then a regular toothbrush and my teeth and gums feel extra clean each time I brush them. The Pulsonic brush head was my favourite one to use although the Precision brush was good to get in between teeth and hard to reach places.

    I am a huge fan of this product and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a great electric toothbrush. The replacement heads cost about $20 and I am going to continue to use this as my daily toothbrush.

    I really enjoyed this product. This product was MUCH better than my manual toothbrush that I was using before. I love the small size of the product and the charger. Easy to store on or under a counter without it being too bulky.
    I would high recommend this to family and friends.

    I have never used a power toothbrush before so I was really happy that Chick Advisor gave me the opportunity to try the Oral B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush.

    It was very easy to assemble and doesn't take up much space. I also really like that it is not bulky unlike other power toothbrushes I have seen. It is lightweight and easy to grasp and hold. It has 2 brushing modes: clean and sensitive. The "clean" mode takes a little to get used to being that I am a first time power toothbrush user. So I used the toothbrush on the "sensitive" mode a lot of the time.This power toothbrush is gentle so the first time I used it, I was skeptical about how effective it would be and how clean my teeth would feel afterwards. I was pleasantly surprised that my teeth felt cleaner than they ever have with my regular manual toothbrush (even using the "sensitive" mode). I have fairly white teeth but i noticed my teeth were much whiter and polished after two weeks of using the Oral B Pulsonic. The brush was also very gentle on my teeth and gums.

    Another advantage of this toothbrush is that it buzzes every 30 seconds and helps me keep track of how long I have been brushing. I brush longer than I previously did which is great. Now I brush for at least 2 minutes.

    One concern is the price, I have only used it for 2 weeks so I don't know if it is long lasting and how often it would need to be replaced.
    The other con is that it doesn't come with a travel case which makes it difficult to travel with.

    This was my first experience with a power toothbrush and It was a great first experience. I am not going back to a regular manual brush. The difference is very clear and I am grateful I had the chance to try the Oral B Pulsonic.

    This toothbrush is outstanding, I was completely blown away. I have used electric toothbrushes in the past but the kind that have small round heads. I was not a fan of this type of tiny head so I ended up switching back to my regular brush. I am incredibly pleased with this toothbrush and would recommend it to everyone.

    When I first took it out of the box I feared that the head was too small and I would not feel that my teeth would feel clean. After having used it I feel that the head is a great size because it helps to reach every corner of your mouth. The toothbrush itself is actually surprisingly tiny compared to others I have tried, and it is very light. My only complaint about this is that I feel the handle is a bit slippery and could use some grips. It's difficult to keep a good grip on it during use.

    The first time I used the brush I actually felt like I had just come from a cleaning at the dentist. I don't feel like that each and every time but I'm sure this is because the first time I could tell the difference between the clean this toothbrush was achieving versus my old manual one. (I hope my dentist is impressed the next time I go in!)

    I enjoy that the toothbrush pretty much forces you to brush your teeth for two minutes. In all honesty I sometimes feel like brushing my teeth is tedious using this brush because it makes me brush for what feels like such a long time. But to put this into perspective the box and manual state in numerous places that it is the DENTIST RECOMMENDED two minutes. It also clicks subtly to indicate the 30 second intervals in which you should brush each quadrant of your mouth. With this in mind I happily brush my teeth each morning and night knowing that my toothbrush is ensuring I brush my teeth for the recommended amount of time without my even having to think about it consciously.

    I love using both heads, the regular brush and the precision head that gets between teeth. I feel that this really assists with areas that you normally floss. Another brilliant feature is the two modes, regular speed and slow speed for sensitive teeth and areas. Great idea, and very handy!

    I checked out the price in store and the brush itself is 70 bucks, and the replacement heads are 2 heads and a precision tip in a package for 30 bucks. I think this is a reasonable price considering how thoroughly the brush cleans your mouth. I have to admit that before actually using the brush I would not have considered spending so much on a toothbrush but after having used it I can honestly say that I would seriously consider spending that amount on such an effective product. I am not sure how often you would have to replace the head because I have only been using it for two weeks now but I am sure it is a comparable amount of time to a regular toothbrush's life.

    Lastly I would like to mention the whitening aspect. Oral B does state that the brush will help to remove up to 94% of surface stains in two weeks. I use Crest 3D White toothpaste regularly (which is another incredibly effective product that I would highly recommend) and I truly think that when used in conjunction with this toothbrush my teeth are a more brilliant white than when just using the toothpaste alone. I am quite happy with these results!

    Some final minor details to consider: the charging stand takes up very little room on my bathroom counter which pleases me, and the brush needs no conventional batteries, it has a rechargeable battery, which I think is fantastic!

    In summary I think this toothbrush is incredibly intuitive. Oral-B seems to have thought of everything that one would need in a toothbrush and it really is effective at everything they have promised. Highly recommend!

    This power toothbrush is quite different than the other power toothbrushes on the market. As you might suspect based on the name, the effectiveness of this toothbrush comes from its pulsating action as opposed to from a rotating head. Therefore, you use it with the same motions as you would your manual toothbrush. However, after brushing with the Oral-B Pulsonice power toothbrush, I found that my teeth felt smooth and clean for several hours after brushing. Furthermore, this toothbrush has two different heads, including a small head designed for cleaning between teeth, or would probably be great for cleaning around partials, crowns, etc. I found that this power toothbrush was much gentler on my gums, due to the absence of the rotating heads which I have found to be quite hard on my gums. This toothbrush is highly recommended!
