Summary: Oral Hygiene Empowerment
Comment: Wow. Did I say wow? WOW. I am a 48-year old hard core bachelor. Which means I do not always make my bed and usually only brush my teeth once a day, in a hurried fashion.
Out of curiousity I recently purchased a $5 agitating toothbrush at the local supermarket....A noticeable improvement from a regular brush.
So, I sprung for this version as the price was 50% off retail (and, I noticed the price just went down again...).
I can hardly wait to brush my teeth (3x a day). In just two days I can tell my gums are in much better shape and my teeth look like just after a $350 dentist cleaning. Hence the title to my review. I feel empowered that I do not have to subsidize those art deco dental offices with their over-charging for basic services. This should keep me out of the dentist office for a long time. :) Hip, hip, hooray!

Summary: Loud but good
Comment: Previously I used a basic Sonicare and liked it a lot. But the battery died and they wouldn't replace it. I read all the reviews here before buying this. In short, after 3 weeks of use- it works well.
Positives
-The charger is compact and multi-voltage
-The toothbrush last just over a week w/o re-charge (2 full brushing/day)
-It physically tells you to change to the next mouth area by a quick reverse on the bristles every 30 seconds.
Negatives
-Much louder than the Sonicare. Took some getting used to (it does have a slower quieter/softer setting but it's still loud)
-The multiple brush head & handle holder is way bigger than it needs to be. Takes up a lot of room on the counter.
-doesn't auto stop after 2 mins like the Sonicare. Just reverses to let you know and keeps going.
Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent investment
Comment: Prior to purchasing the Oral-B Triumph, I had used an Interplak electric toothbrush for a number of years. I had been reluctant to change, but Interplak stopped manufacturing the brush heads I needed.
Since switching to the Trimuph I've been very happy. The motor is strong and delivers satisfactory power to the brush head; the unique pressure sensor cuts the motor when it senses that you are pressing too hard on your teeth (which leads to gum problems), and the unit is easy to clean. In addition, the fully charged battery provides at least two full weeks of 2x/day brushing, as promised.
The only downsides so far are minor: The charging base is too big for a narrow bathroom shelf and the battery takes a while to charge fully.
But on the whole I'm very happy with this product and would recommend it readily.
