This set arrives well packaged. It comes with a basic wall-mount kit and a USB charging cord. (No outlet adaptor, but look in your " junk" drawer for that random one from your old cell phone). The set also features eight reusable brush heads, ignoring the extra one shown attached to the unit already in the listing image. (The two missing from my first picture were still inside the white travel case...which, for hard plastic, feels surprisingly robust).
This toothbrush base has some heft to it, feeling well made and sturdy. The literature in the box says the unit's water-resistant design allows brushing in the shower. As someone who already has enough going on in the shower, I have not tested that feature.
Operating the unit is quite intuitive, but its instructional leaflet goes into more detail on the five settings - White (as in Whitening - the most aggressive speed), Clean, Sensitive, Polish and Massage. These become more gentle as you cycle through the "powers" with the On/Off button. Each setting varies in vibration strength and pulse speed. The Massage setting feels wonderful to the gums; they continue tingling for a few moments after use.
A word of warning: When you change quadrants (upper left/lower left/upper right/ lower right), you might contact your teeth directly with the hard plastic toothbrush handle; this feels like scraping your teeth on concrete during contact. I prevented that contact by completely removing it from my mouth while changing quadrants. Such a simple thing was likely expected by longtime electric toothbrush users, but it was a surprise to me.
This unit runs with an internal two-minute timer that, every 30 seconds, backs off the power momentarily as a warning to move to the next quandrant. As I do a lot of brainstorming during toothbrushing and don't concentrate on toothcare as I probably should, I rather enjoy this feature. But I can understand how not everyone would. It shuts off completely after two-minutes.
The unit reaached a complete charge in roughly an hour. We've used it for several days so far with no decline in performance, so the rechargeable battery holds up well.
I 'm very happy with the product so far, and I would not hesitate to give it as a gift.
