It's considered poor form to ask for rep! Also, what good does it do you? Are you somehow getting paid from it? Are reps redeemable for prizes? Just sayin'...

who would have thought, put a hole in a condom, sell as an accessory, then profit.

the brushhead's been going up in price every year. might be more cost savying to buy the smaller brushheads types over time. either types cleans great.

good price but I would go for the higher model, especially for something you will use twice a day for a couple years.

Good idea, but does not work for families that use the same body and few heads.
All the time I hear complains that stuff builds up in the chamber... But is it a really big deal and a long and laborious process to unscrew the brush, clean the chamber and put it back?

I am a long time owner of this exact toothbrush and I too heard, and continue to hear, about the design flaw that allows fluids to accumulate underneath the brush head.

However, my 3 year experience with at least 4 of these units, 3 for myself and my two children (for some reason, wife does not like electric, prefers manual brushes) and one for an older child outside the home, I've never, not once, not ever, noticed any fluid underneath the brush head (inside the main body).

I really do not know what people are going on about this as if it is some major problem. If the problem/flaw is so major, you would have thought I would notice at least something, some dampness or something?!? All my brush bodies are bone dry, not one single sign of any moisture at all.

This is a great toothbrush and those considering it should not be overly concerned about this supposed 'flaw'.

Luck all...

Always wanted to try it, going to get one and see what happens.

Same here, just got me one. Thanks OP!

For those of you who are new to electric toothbrushes and buying this, you will be happy. The difference between a regular toothbrush and an electric is like night and day. It feels like you just left a dentist office when you use an electric toothbrush...a definite must have item.

You can clean the nooks and crannies of the Sonicare brush and brush head using a spray bottle with diluted bleach. Spray, wait 30 sec, and rinse. It's very little effort and sanitizes really quickly. Alternatively, you can use old Sonicare brush heads for cleaning the insides of Sonicare brush heads for the really stuck-on gunk.

Not sure what the difference is, but all three of ours do it and they get real nasty. There are tons of pictures and posts online about it as well. Maybe there was a revision with a better thread seal at some point.

Either way, doesn't seem to harm anything, just looks gross. Hopefully I don't end up the next Brittany Murphy.

$40.80 in Cali with Tax !

In for 1 !

thanks!

Actually it does help your chances in the constant giveaways that SD does... If you like a deal you should vote it up a rep. It may be looked down upon to ask for rep but it should also be looked down upon to not give it.
