Customer Reviews

The Oral-b Vitality Dual Clean Rechargeable Power Toothbrush is the economy model of the Oral-b electric toothbrushes. The head consists of one upper and one lower brush which work independently of the other. The fat, round one on the top oscillates while the slightly squared one on the bottom moves from side to side. It comes with an additional brush head, and there are five different brush heads which can be purchased. They are described in the instructions, and there is a $3 coupon included inside the box.
After approximately two and one-half minutes, the brush slows down and gives a couple of sluggish spurts, which signals time to stop brushing. It doesn't stop by itself and has to be turned off. It is compact and fits well in smaller hands. I wasn't expecting too much from this little toothbrush but was very surprised at its vigorous action. My teeth felt extremely clean and smooth after use. I can't determine how long the battery will last, as I've used it only for a couple of weeks. I am sold on Oral-b, and certainly will consider this brand when its time for my next automatic toothbrush.

First, the good.
This does seem to get my teeth cleaner.
I also think the rechargability is a plus, I've had such toothbrushes before, battery powered, and they ran through juice pretty quick. Additionally I find their recharge mechanism ingenious, there are no connectors, near as I can tell, it must use a magetic field. What I mean is that the recharge station and linking area on the brush are all both entirely covered in plastic, so there are no "vulnerable" spots for bathroom water to reach to short things out or gum up the works.
I also find that I take longer brushing my teeth when I use an electric brush, I'm not sure why I do so, I just do so, so that must also help get them clean.
There is one major design flaw though. The moving bristle head has too much clearance between it and the rest of the brush, because it regularly, at least once a day, pinches the inside of my lips or cheeks, often to the point of breaking the skin, and at least once a week bad enough to make my spit turn completely red.
It could be that my brush head is defective, I don't know, but it definitely happens, and it never happened with any of my previous electric toothbrushes.
