Product Review: Great Brush - Useless SmartGuide
Summary: 4 Stars
This is my first powered toothbrush so I thought I should get a top-of-the-line product with features that would help me use it correctly.
Toothbrush - First of all, the toothbrush is excellent. It was intimidating at first because the powered brushing felt more aggressive than manual brushing. I liked being able to use the softer, slower setting for a while until I felt comfortable moving up to the normal speed. I really feel like I'm getting a thorough cleaning with this toothbrush vs. manual brushing. I could immediately feel the difference even after the first use and over time my teeth are whiter and my gums are healthier. I used to have a problem with my gums bleeding when I brushed or flossed them. Now, after having used this toothbrush for several weeks the bleeding from brushing and flossing has stopped completely.
SmartGuide - This is the only letdown of the product and almost not worth the extra $40-$50 over getting the toothbrush by itself. At first, I liked that the SmartGuide would let me know when I'm pressing too hard. However, after the first brushing I learned how much pressure is enough to apply and this feature is now useless as I don't press too hard anymore. The indicator that shows which mode/speed you are on is useless after you've used it a couple times and it's clear by the motion/noise of the toothbrush head which mode/speed you are on. The mouth quadrant feature has been totally useless from the very beginning. I assumed this would keep track of where you started last time and switch it up to make sure you start at a different spot each time. Nope, it always starts at the uppper-right and works clockwise. I'm no expert toothbrusher, but I feel like I should start in a different place each time. The ONLY benefit, for me, of having the SmartGuide is the built in timer & clock. The SmartGuide timer is nice because you can have the SmartGuide out in front of you and watch the timer. I like being able to watch the timer so I can anticipate the quadrant changes and make sure I give the front and back sides of teeth at least 10-15sec each. When the SmartGuide isn't in use, it becomes a digital clock. It's hard justifying the extra $40-$50 it cost to get this SmartGuide added to the toothbrush you can get by itself for less. Lacking useful features, but having the useful timer & clock feels like it should only be worth an additional $15-$20.
Overall, this model is nice for a first time user and to get acquainted with a powered toothbrush, but I'll cut costs next time and just get the brush by itself with a cheap cooking/egg timer. The SmartGuide is overrated and I wish it had more to offer.

My wife bought me this product for Christmas. I had another toothbrush (Sonicare) which died. This one is amazing. I like the way it times your brushing of each quadrant and tells you if you're using too much pressure (a common problem with me). Overall, I'm lovin' it.

Product Review: Great Electric Toothbrush
Summary: 5 Stars
It took me a few cleanings before I got used to it, but now I love it. My teeth feel so clean after using this product. I agree with another review, that the smart display is not really needed because of the short pauses when cleaning to let you know to switch sides. So it's really not needed and adds to the cost but I do like the clock and the smiley face when your done with the 2 minutes. I would really recommend this product. I give it 5 stars.Product Review: Great Product

I have never received my purchase until today but I decided to buy it from a store instead of online...It's a great product...I love how it cleanses my teeth, I feel like I just got out of the dental clinic right every after every brush because I can feel my teeth so clean.
But the seller TECH HUNTER INC, never responded or anything...I don't know what happened. I am still working for my refund.
