Product Reviews of Oral B Triumph 9900 Toothbrush with Smart Guide
Product Review: Fabulous Tooth Brush!
Summary: 5 Stars
This toothbrush is amazing. I had an Oral B electric toothbrush before this one that I absolutely loved, and I doubted that any product would be better than that one. But the features on this product are so logical and have been extremely helpful to me. I learned almost immediately that I had not been brushing my teeth long enough, the sensor on the LED screen rewards you with a happy face when you brush for 2 minutes and the face winks at you when you brush for 2.5 minutes. I find myself looking forward to that smile everyday. It has options for sensitive teeth that are nice and the unit itself is completely waterproof and practical. I brush in the shower without any problems. It is loud at first, but not so loud as to be annoying. I think this item is great and I plan to buy one for my family members soon.Product Review: Well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this was an awful lot of money for a toothbrush, but my dentist recommended this one so I gave it a shot. I felt like I'd just left a teeth cleaning after the first day. I have trouble brushing long enough and find the wireless timer very helpful. After using this for a month I could never go back and now think it is a bargain. I'd recommend this to anyone.Product Review: Very Good Toothbrush
Summary: 5 Stars
The Oral B Triumph 9900 gives a complete brushing and has a nifty timer that lets you know every 30 seconds that you have brushed a quadrant of your teeth long enough. High ly recommend.Product Review: Oral B Triumph 9900 w/Smart Guide
Summary: 3 Stars
I like this toothbrush overall. The motor is pretty powerful. I've only had it about 2-3 weeks so the jury is out on seeing a shade lighter. Personally I think the brushhead is too small but I guess it is that way to focus on one tooth at a time. I think the price is too high. The manual says the battery will last about 2 weeks but you begin to see the battery going down after 3-4 days and it seems the power isn't at full force.
I like the fact it comes with a second brush for flossing.
I previuos had one of the Soniccare brushes and think I like it better.
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.
