Electric toothbrush recommendations

...As title really, not looking to spend more than about £50 and was wondering if there is much difference in this price range - I want my teeth to feel fresh from the dentist clean!

Was looking at this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4430573/Trail/searchtext>TOOTHBRUSH.htm mainly just cause it's allegedly half price.

Cheerithanks!

I have that toothbrush, and i must say i really like it. The timer is great aswell, leaves my mouth feeling dentish fresh

Timer is great, have not that model but a similar one and its really good. And yes it makes your teeth feel dentist fresh, just dont let the battery run down !

I have a Sonicare, think it was 75 pounds from boots down from a hundred. Feels like i've been to the dentist everytime I clean my teeth, worth ther extra twenty-five.

I have found the Oral B sonic to be the best

basically dont spend more than £20. the battery inside he tooth brush will only recharge a certain number of times, and soon you'll notice a drop in power.

i got a philips toothbrush with 2 brush heads for £15. after a year of use i'll chuck it and get a new one with a fresh battery.

Replacement batteries are very cheap and my oral b battery has lasted 3 years fine. What poor advice =/

I didn't realise the batteries were replaceable in Oral B's. :confused:

I've never had issues with my teeth and have cleaned using a firm manual brush but recently realised how yellow my teeth were getting.

I got a Sonicare and after just 6 weeks or so, they are noticeably whiter...

Nope, you break nothing. You unscrew the bottom white section, even an idiot can do it in 5 seconds. PLEASE stop giving crap advice =/
