Electric Toothbrushes > Crest Electric Toothbrushes

Advantages: Great value for money
Disadvantages: Switch is stiff. Poor quality electronics, if not plain dangerous

Be careful. You get what you pay for. They're a great idea and let's face it they're great value, it cost me about £3 (from Bodycare) which is amazing considering it has an interchangable head and comes with decent alkaline batteries. It costs £1-2 for a manual toothbrush so it's a bargain, if only to take the batteries out of it. It works just fine when you get it, in fact I wondered what the point of those £40+ electric brushes was as this gives ...
...stiff, I had to use my fingernail to turn it on. But with cheap prices come cheap manufacturing. It seemed to hammer the batteries (they'd last a couple of weeks max), so on the second replacement I replaced them with fully charged standard NiMh rechargables and yet it was still nearly dead, which I found a bit odd. I figured out why: the bottom end was literally MELTING. I'm serious, the base was liquidy molten plastic and quickly deforming. Yes ... Read review

Advantages: Very Clean Teeth. And Fresh Breath.
Disadvantages: A bit big between my lips and gums.

...the more expensive electric toothbrushes, Crest haven't tried to make this item ergonomic or sexy in any way; instead, it simply sits on the side of your basin waiting for its next use, looking somewhat butch and capable of doing its job. I suspect a Sonic brush might whimper at the sight of it, afraid that it was about to take a beating from its rather council-estate looking sibling. The head units can be replaced at a cost of between £1.99 and ...
...months or when the bristles have softened too much and, as toothbrushes go, this one does the job as satisfying as any other I've tried, without breaking the bank. It's affordable, comfortable (once you get used to it) and effective. It doesn't pretend to be something it's not and is designed well enough that the battery compartment, which includes two AA batteries, is unlikely to leak and electrocute you after a few months of usage. If you're looking ... Read review

Advantages: Leaves mouth feeling very clean, power doesn't greatly reduce over time
Disadvantages: A little too powerful at first, ugly colour, impractical design

...year when I saw the Crest Spin Brush Dual Effect on offer in Boots and decided I should give it a go. Whilst not my favourite brush, it has certainly been memorable using it so far. To Begin: This is a small step up from the average electric brush for two reasons. Two buttons control the motion of the brush. The main control, a large well shaped button almost the size of a thumb pad is pushed up easily for continuous use, and down to stop. The ...
...that rather shocking start, the Crest Dual Effect electric toothbrush settled down from its manic cleaning to a speed quite as thorough, minus the toothache, and shows little sign of needing new batteries for a good few months to come. As I brush my teeth currently three or more times a day, it will soon require a change of head, which is quite commendable too. Although the Dual Effect is a nice idea, and effective to an extent, in my experience ... Read review

Advantages: Great little battery operated toothbrush
Disadvantages: Hurts a bit when first used

...toothpaste and not the Crest revitalise toothpaste as recommended on the instructions. I like it so much and have used it so regularly that I will soon be buying another one. i figure that at the price it's going to be cheaper to buy a whole new brush complete with the included batteries rather than buying a new head (which can be purchased from chemists) and batteries. Thanks for reading. Daniela xx ... Read review

Advantages: great price, great clean
Disadvantages: batteries will need changing

...at the quality, being a Colgate product, I was sure that it was going to "do the job" but for just £2.00 I am very pleased and feel that I picked up a bargain. I must add, I am not sure if these are always this cheap or Asda had a promotion , but I would happily spend up to £6.00 on one of these. Obviously the only downfall is that the batteries will need changing, though at this price - I will probably buy a new one rather than change them! There ... Read review
