Product Reviews of HydraBrush Express Power Toothbrush
Product Review: Cleans Well But Needs Improvement
Summary: 3 Stars
I've used the HydraBrush for ten months now and originally bought it because it looked like a toothbrush I used fifteen years ago that brushed both sides of your tooth at once...I really liked that toothbrush, but could never find another one.
Here's my bullet list of points to consider:
POS - I use it regularly. I would often skip brushing my teeth when I knew I really should just because I was in a hurry or tired or whatever. The HydraBrush cuts your brushing time by 75%. You are literally done in under a minute. I brush my teeth a lot more often now which, if you are lazy like me, is a huge plus to your dental health.
POS - It is still working without any problems.
POS - My teeth do feel cleaner than with either the $100+ Sonicare or the $80 Braun that I also have.
POS - The HydraBrush comes with both sizes of brush heads so you can see which works best for you. I use the extra long, regular brush heads and have had no problem with them. The first day or two my gums were feeling the abrasions, but it stopped quickly.
NEG - The build style seems to be the best the 80s had to offer. I'm not sure of any other way to describe it than that -- it just appears to be a design that would have looked and seemed great in the 80s. It is bulky. You have to charge it with a plug in type AC adapter. It has a manual flip-switch to turn it off and on. The Sonicare and Braun are light-years in front here and much more pleasant to use.
NEG - You cannot get it wet. Huge minus for me. They provide a little rubber collar to keep water from dripping down the case while you are using it ... mine split after two days. Doesn't seem to be necessary unless you drool though. I like to brush my teeth in the shower in the morning to save time and help me wake up...can't do it with the HydraBrush. I use my Braun instead.
NEG - Lousy recharging system. You have to plug it in via an AC adapter. The Sonicare and Braun have charging bases that you just drop the brush into...they are far more convenient than the HydraBrush. This is a huge negative in my opinion.
NEG - Base is useless. Doesn't work with the charging cord as another reviewer pointed out. The company needs to buy a Sonicare to see what a base should be like.
POS/NEG - I'm not sure how well this is really cleaning my teeth. It definitely cleans the large surfaces better, but the Sonicare and Braun advertise about how their fifteen zillion vibrations per millisecond vaporize plaque at the gum line, between teeth, etc. I'm not sure if this HyrdaBrush is really getting to those places with its totally different style. To be safe, I use the Braun also and alternate between the two.
I will try to regularly check this review for comments to answer any questions anyone may have.
Product Review: Great for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried every trick in the book to try and get my little boy to brush longer, harder, better, more often, etc. After having WAY too many cavities and being pretty much ready to give up the fight, I found the hydrabrush about 6 months ago and decided to make the investment. The thing is awesome! We just went for our checkup yesterday and the dentist was amazed at his improved brushing - and best news - NO CAVITIES!!! It only takes about 30 seconds (that is the most time he will spend) and it gets all teeth, top, bottom, back, front in that short amount of time. It really makes it easy and quick for kids. I highly recommend the hydrabrush! Product Review: They Stand by Their Product
Summary: 2 Stars
My faith in standing by ones product has returned.
After sending a message to the manufacturer of Hydrabrush letting them know of how my unit died after three months, a company rep sent me an e-mail and called to let me know that they planned to replace the unit. They didn't even want me to send the defective unit back.
One of their new models arrived today and I am rather pleased with the replacement. Bravo Hydrabrush!

I bought this item with great hopes.
Being basically in a hurry and wanting a better dental check-up, I bought this wonder tool. The cleaning part is great but the unit quit after about three months of twice a day use. The three-phase switch that controls the brush now completely fails to work
Product Review: Akward To Use - Not A good toothbrush
Summary: 1 Stars
After using this electric toothbrush for some time I know I have bought the wrong one. It will clean the front top teeth really well, but, forget the bottom teeth and the side teeth both top and bottom. I guess I will use this only for cleaning the top front teeth and my manual brush for the rest. That makes this one real expensive toothbrush! As the old saying goes: Win some, lose some.Product Review: HydraBrush a better way to brush
Summary: 5 Stars
The HydraBrush is the fastest way to brush your teeth. My gums seem to be healthier and the side of my teeth are as smooth as when you come from the dentist. The true test will be at my next dentist appointment in 1 month. The only draw back is the battery life seem to be not as good as advertised. I usually have to recharge it every 10 days.
