I nearly grabbed this in the store a couple of weeks ago, glad I didn't.

Went to buy it today and the item has been upgraded. The toothbrush now has 5 settings instead of 3, and there's a separate mode select button so you don't have to toggle through all of them to turn it off. Pretty sure this is in store only, the website still shows the old version. I'm attaching a picture of the new box.

I didn't understand the big deal between manual and electric toothbrushes before. I wish I would have switched years ago.

So what is the difference? Do the electric ones make a significant difference in cleaning?
I read the manual for the different Modes. I just use the first Mode, and I don't pay attention to the built-in timer too.

This. Had oral-bs for about 20 years. Bought "upgraded" ones likely for shopping addiction more than necessity. They all work similar, that is, much better than manual.
I found the only useful feature on these are the timers. My current one does a mild vibrate every 30 seconds for two minutes and then stops. I don't partition my brushing to each quadrant, but it's nice to know when you hit 2 minutes.
I also have noticed another upgrade after using it a couple of days. The main negative reviews of the original were the single button, but also the handle being just slick plastic with nothing to grip when it got wet. The new one has a rubberized back with ridges so it's easier to hold. Looks like Oral-B listened to customers and fixed the main problems.

Care to share the model you switched to?
