The lettering on the handle is rubbing off

I have been using a new 1 button Philips Sonicare for 2 weeks. It brushes and seems to brush as well as my previous 2 buttons Philips powered toothbrush before it stopped working. The quality of the materials and lettering of the new 1 button Sonicare is inferior. The letters on the handle - of clean, sensitive, white, and the change brush and power status symbols - are all rubbing off onto the handle and onto my fingers. At this rate eventually all of the lettering will erase from my toothbrush handle within 60 days or less.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The head of the toothbrush is very small and it vibrates a lot. I’m not sure if it’s actually working on my teeth.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My gums have never been healthier! But the head/bristles are already worn out after only a few weeks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the design. It works perfectly and it has a great battery life before I have to charger it again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Oral B electric toothbrush for perhaps 20 years. I tried the Sonic electric toothbrush and was really impressed by how comfortable it was to use - I actually enjoyed the feeling of the brush on my teeth. Also, the battery lasts a long time before recharging. It is a well thought out design.
