Bought this upon the recommendation of my hygienist. Small size is perfect for very little counter space and it works good. Got the less expensive one because I didn't know if I would like it , I do, but it eats up batteries, usually have to change them every 2 weeks, next time I'll go for the rechargable one
This product uses too much battery. Not efficient for electricity.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with the product. The average customer will replace batteries every 6-8 weeks. How long the batteries will last is not only determined by the type and quality of the battery, but how often the unit is used as well. If you use the product more than once a day or if multiple people use it, we recommend a counter top model or a rechargeable unit.
