The middle range and above Sonicare electric toothbrushes comes with "Quad Pacer" which "beeps" by intermittently by modulating brush vibration abruptly twice every 30 seconds.
1. Every Sonicare model has a "starting mode" that lets you gradually increase brushing power for the firsth twelve brushing and when this is active, it makes the "beep" in exactly the same manner, therefore every model is physically capable of creating the "beep".
2. Every model has two minute shut off, therefore they all have a timer.
The model w/ "quad pacer" signaling enabled costs like $10 more. Would you guys say this is a intentional crippling of firmware in the lowest end model to promote the sale of more profitable middle range?
