Excellent product

This review is from: Oral-B SmartSeries 5000 Rechargeable Toothbrush

I had a similar one from the same manufacturer 10 years ago, its still going strong(motor, the metal tip, charging base, etc) but the handle was falling apart so decided on getting a new one.
Pros:
-Higher frequency on the motor than the previous model(this seems to make a heck a lot of difference).
-Better design with a slight curve in the middle to help reach the back of the molars(very nice).
- Does the job and does it darned well.

Cons:
-Brush Handle is a little too slippery when wet. I understand the handle was changed to a plastic one this time cause the previous soft handle was better for grip but I guess wouldn't last a long time(7 or more yrs for someone like me).
-The attached timer is ok but a waste of time. I thought it would actually KNOW how long the upper teeth are cleaned vs the lower by the tilt and angle of the handle. I guess I was expecting too much and reading too little of the product reviews :).
