Interestingly however, I can't give this an "Excellent" rating because the actual experience of brushing my teeth is not as pleasant as with my old electric toothbrush ...
1) Noisy. My old toothbrush also used vibrations, but it was so much quieter. The Colgate is noisy and in a tinny unpleasant way, and it's inside my mouth!
2) Turns itself o ff. I'm not done yet and suddenly it shuts off. I'm in the shower with water and stuff in my eyes trying to feel where is that on/off button ...
I also don't like the auto-speed feature because it often gets it wrong. It's quite unpleasant when it suddenly goes into turbo-boost mode against my gums -- it's actually a little painful and I imagine it would not be good for people with sensitive or fragile gums/teeth. Thankfully it can be set to manual, and it remembers to stay in manual mode for the next brushing. I personally start off in the slower mode for sides and gums, and only go to the fast mode at the very end for the top of the molars.
The brush head is also quite small. This is a mixed blessing. It's good for getting into small crevices, but it means it takes longer to clean every surface of every tooth .. and then suddenly it turns itself off.
