Needs 30 Second Timer

Love Sonicare toothbrushes but very disappointed this one does not have the 30 seconds beeps. Bought 2 for my kids and figured that feature turned on after the 12 trial brushings. Would recommend Sonicare toothbrushes but not one without without that 30 second timer feature.
Cons: needs 30 second timer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really don't like the scraping noise when the hygienist cleans my teeth. I purchased this product hoping to make my visits less stressful. Not only do I feel like this brush cleans well, but I have noticed the stains on my teeth are going away too.
Pros: love the timer
Cons: replacement brush heads pricey
I would recommend this to a friend!

This toothbrush is not much better than the one I returned

I returned my last Sonicare toothbrush because it would lose power unless I kept screwing the head on tighter while brushing and the it would not beep a warning before it completely ran out of power - requiring over 24 hours to be recharged. This one is doing the same thing. I've used this basic model for years and never used to have problems with it.
Pros: none -
Cons: does not give warning beep when about to lose powe, product is getting worse instead of better
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Find the brush satisfactory. Of possible future concern - need to
clean brushhead with soap/water post-use because of possible
deterioration from whitening agents in dentrifice. Almost every toothpaste has whitening agents / can you find a plastic which will
resist this problem?

I've had the toothbrush about two months now and it has worked just fine. The key will be how long the battery continues to hold a two-week charge, which it does now (I've had problems with this in the past). It took more than 24 hours to charge the first time, but since then, the charges are fairly quick.
Pros: good battery life (for now at least)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works great would like to see the 30 second reminder on all the models as well as bigger brush heads available in the stores.

My son's orthodontist recommended your product for my son to use while he has braces. It does a great job getting the teeth clean around the braces.
