Oral-B Advanced Toothbrush

I've been using the Proctor and Gamble Oral B iO electric toothbrush for a month now. The toothbrush arrived in a beautiful black box worthy of containing the best electronics. . The packaging itself can help make this a good gift. But I was intrigued by the product's ability to clean teeth, so I read a brief but comprehensive instruction manual, charged the battery, and went for a test run. Before I begin my observations, I want to tell you that I used an old Braun Oral-B electric toothbrush, a rechargeable unit with a white handle that mechanically powers the brushes. Here are the features I like about Oral-B. OK:1) Long battery life between applications. 2) A gauge showing the percentage of charge remaining after each use. 3) Stylish design and cool purple color of the device. 4) Inductive charger. 5) Six settings: Daily Clean, Sensitive, Whiten, Gum Care, Intense and Super Sensitive. 6) Colored icons for each setting visible on a tiny screen under a translucent plastic cover. 7) A small icon showing elapsed time along with a meme ranging from grumpy (cleaning less than a minute) to a star-eyed emoji (more than two). minutes).8) Smooth travel case with handle and a brush. 9) The brushes work so fast that their movement pattern is difficult to see. But I looked inside the brush shaft and noticed that the up and down movement of the inner piston causes the brushes to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise, causing them to vibrate very quickly. This, combined with the human movement of the brush head, should have a good cleaning and polishing effect on the tooth enamel, as well as stimulating the gums and squeezing out some food from between the teeth. These features were unimportant to me: 1) Bluetooth connection function. I don't like overcomplicating something as simple as brushing your teeth, so I haven't downloaded an app that would allow the user to record and view stats about how they're brushing their teeth on their phone or computer. This can be important for a data-driven young person. But for me, this is another unnecessary complication of life. And here are the things I don't like about this toothbrush: 1) High frequency vibration noise that rattles in my head on settings over super sensitivity. Instead of being therapeutic like the mechanical attachment on my old Oral-B, that whining noise irritates me. Very annoying 2) The grip becomes slippery when wet. No rubberized or grippy surface. I didn't like this pen so much that I stopped using my toothbrush. I went back to my more comfortable and mentally therapeutic old Oral B. 3) The power button is difficult to find by touch. 4) The brush head is larger and harder to maneuver in the mouth. 5) There is no way to easily identify the brush head by the user. I just deducted another star on this updated review because I've stopped adapting to this toothbrush.
