So the old regular tooth brush just wasn't cutting it. I just didn't feel like my teeth were getting as clean as I would like. I looked at a few electric toothbrush brushes. I really don't like the ones where the brush head is small and round. I just don't feel like I am covering enough area. Maybe it is just me but I wanted one that was the shape of a regular toothbrush. So I saw this one and I really liked a few things. For one, I liked the shape of the brush head. Second, love that you get 8 brush heads included so I have no extra expense for 2 years. Lastly, it just looks nice. So far I am very happy with it. It gives me a much more thorough brush than a regular tooth brush. Makes me feel like I just got a cleaning at the dentist. Time will tell as to how durable it is but for now it is a 5 star product.
