 Oral B Pulsonic January 6, 2009
I gave these as gifts to all my adult children this Christmas. It was a big hit. I also purchased one for myself and have been completely satisfied. It's much quieter that my last Oral B toothbrush. Oral B makes a really good product!
 Mediocre, but one redeeming feature January 5, 2009
This is a rather mediocre electric brush compared with other Oral-B products (such as the Triumph, which is excellent) or any of the Sonicare line of brushes. Limited power and battery life, so-so ergonimics, and uncomfortable to use. Why the three stars and not just one? It has one strong redeeming feature -- the precision tip brush.
I have both a Oral-B Triumph and a Sonicare (can't remember the model number), and find both to be excellent performers. They are different, and each has its strengths/weaknesses, so I alternate between the two. The one shortcoming neither address well is getting between teeth to get out tea and coffee stains (and the occasional cigarette). For me, the lower front teeth are especially problematic -- they are very tightly spaced, and stains set in easily between the teeth, as well as on the backside. My 6-month dental cleaning/checkup gets rid of them, but by month 4 or 5, they're back.
Oral-B makes a small brush for people with braces, but it's ineffective at getting out in-between teeth stains. The Precision Tip for the Pulsonic, however, has been great. After brushing with either the Triumph or Sonicare, I finish with a 30-60 second run using the Precision Tip. Works like a charm, and makes the Pulsonic worth using.
For everything else, the Pulsonic is a so-so performer at best. Granted, it is less expensive than other models, but this is a case where you get what you pay for. Uncomfortable (handle buzzes far, far more than any other electric brush I've used), the head is poorly shaped to get at tight spots, and the build quality is a notch below other Oral-B products.
If you're looking to stop or get rid of in-between teeth stains, get this model and use it in combination with another model. If in-between teeth stains are not an issue, don't even bother with this. Pick up a different Oral-B or a Sonicare -- you'll be a lot happier with it than the Pulsonic.
*****Oral-B Pulsonic Sonic Toothbrush***** January 1, 2009
This is quite simply the best toothbrush I have ever used. I love the silver and white colors and slim, lightweight design, not to mention the small head, 30 second reminders, and ease of cleaning. And my dental hygenist was impressed for the first time in years!
Loyal Sonicare user LOVES the Oral B Pulsonic... slight learning curve. December 30, 2008
I am a long time Sonicare user. I typically get the bottom of the Sonicare line and have been very happy with the results and ease of use. This year I opted to try the Oral B Pulsonic and so far am VERY SATISFIED. I was initially disappointed as I realized I had a brush head that didn't snap on well and was coming loose the first 2-3 times I brushed. URGH... I decided to give it the weekend before trying to call customer service on Monday to get a replacement. However, in that time I realized I was applying too much pressure when brushing in the circular pattern, as recommended in the instructions. When I used less pressue the brush head stayed on perfectly and my teeth are soooooo clean! Two bonuses that I am in love with (as compared to the Sonicare) are the smaller two bristled brush (forgot what they call it) and the fact that it continues to brush past 2 minutes. The smaller brush is great for cleaning between teeth and along the gum lines. And this smaller brush is also great for getting between a few misaligned teeth too!
So all in all this is one very loyal Sonicare user (6 plus years) who is now sold on the Oral B Pulsonic!! And an added bonus is that the replacement heads are even less expensive and the brush it self had a $15 rebate so less than the cheapest Sonicare too.
And I've only had it 4-5 days now but I am certain my teeth are already whiter than they were and less stained!!
better than expected December 28, 2008
Received my Pulsonic about a week ago, and so far I'm pleased with the performance, looks, and size.
At first, the clean mode was a bit much to take and felt uncomfortable; but after a couple of days on the sensitive mode I've eased into the clean mode quite nicely.
The main reason for the initial discomfort is attempting to use the Pulsonic as a regular toothbrush. By changing the way I brush my teeth (not as much pressure and allowing the brush to do most of the work), it began to meet my performance expectations. Whether my teeth will get whiter is another story; they certainly feel cleaner.
Looks and size: nice modern look without the typical bulkiness of most power brushes.
My only complaint so far is the lack of additional accessories; such as, travel case(s)/power (more emphasize needed in general on hygiene/bath items/conveniences being ready for travel), and optional brush heads (various shapes and sizes).
I would recommend this product to my family and friends.
