Yes I like mine.

The 4 spots should be the fronts/tops of ALL the bottom teeth. Backs/tops of ALL the bottom teeth. Fronts/tops of ALL top teeth. Backs/tops of ALL top teeth.

I usually stick the tops in with the backs of the teeth.

It does take a bit to get used to.

I dunno about stains, but I have a Sonicare and I think it is better than any other toothbrush I have ever owned.

i dont have one (use a braun 3d plaque remover electric which isnt 1/2 bad), but from what i hear from everyone, it's supposedly the best electric toothbrush money can buy.. Those electric toothbrushes just takes some getting used to.

I have a sonicare. How can you doubt the power of the sonic cleansing? Blasphemer!

Seriously though, think about it. Compare your hand moving your toothbrush back and forth on your teeth. How many strokes can you get in? Maybe 150? 200? That sonicare strokes thousands of times in the same time. Think how much more crap it gets off your teeth.

My wife and I will never go back, we agree it was a great investment, and kick ourselves for not getting it sooner!

Best $30 I ever sent for a toothbrush.

It'll take a while to get used too, but I could never go back to hand brushing now. :)

I do, I never follow the quadpacers thing though. I did for the first few weeks of using it, and then went back to just going wherever around my mouth. It was odd to get used to at first, especially when the plastic part of the brush would hit my teeth, it would vibrate my whole head.

You gotta brush twice a day for awhile to see the difference..... :)

They range anywhere from $39 up to $129 it depends on how much you can afford. The two best places to buy an electronic toothbrush at are CostCo and Walmart.

CostCo has a great value, the Braun 3D not sure how much it is I think around $39?

They also sell Sonicare which costs a little more.

I like mine and I'd buy it again. My mouth feels more fresh and I swear my teeth are a bit whiter!

I went with the high-end model for $100 (comes with 3 brush heads so it's actually cheaper in the long run). It has a rubberized grip which helps when you get a bit of drool on it.

It does turn off after 2 minutes. I find 2 min. is good for half my teeth. So I just fire it up again and do the other side. Works great. :)
