I have been using this brush for several years. I keep two for backup just incase the battery dies, I get sick (I always replace my toothbrush after getting sick), or it gets lost or damaged in one on moments of clumbsyness! Performance/Cleaning It always makes my teeth feel incredibly clean. It removes plaque and gets into hard to clean crevices. It also massages my gums and leaves my mouth feeling fresh. The bristles are soft enough not feel harsh in my teeth or gums, but strong enough to remove any built up residue. Durability I am constantly dropping things and breaking things (especially in the morning before I've had my coffee!) This tooth brush holds up amazingly well. This brush has survived several falls onto ceramic tiles. I have only cracked one brush that landed hard on the small end. The battery has a long life, and I've never had to replace a brush because the battery died. I always replace my toothbrush every 5-6 months.

The Oral-B Pulsar Pro-Health Toothbrush is a great option for people who would like the clean effects of an electric toothbrush but can not afford the other options. Seriously, I know that with the economy and being a SAHM that I can't afford to buy those expensive toothbrushes. I was able to get the Oral-B Pulsar Pro-Health Toothbrush for a GREAT steal with coupons and I absolutely love it. Sure it's not SUPER powered like other electric toothbrushes, but it does the job if you regularly brush your teeth (which you should be doing anyway)!

This toothbrush is a great toothbrush until you have to replace the batteries. The battery life is pretty decent, but when it comes time to change them you might as well throw the toothbrush out. The way the toothbrush is designed makes it extremely hard to get the battery out and it is hard to get a new battery to go in and actually work. I replaced the batteries on mine once and after that it would only work half of the time and would randomly stop and start so I threw it out.

A Vibrating toothbrush seemed to be an economical replacement for the more pricey electric toothbrushes on the market. My twelve year old got very excited while shopping for a new toothbrush one day, and begged to try this variety. So we both did. I used the vibrating feature in the beginning every time I brushed my teeth. Eventually the newness wore off and I don't believe it is much different than any other manual toothbrush on the market. In fact, I will only sometimes turn on the vibrating feature in order to help rinse the toothbrush. On the other hand, my twelve year old still swears by the Oral B pulsar and loves the vibrating feature of this toothbrush. She has since convinced her brother and sisters to try the toothbrush as well. Yesterday I purchased three more of them for the other kids. So, after only using the brush 3 times before this review was written my children were split on their opinions. My 17 year old is not impressed, however my 11 and 13 year olds agreed with their sister... they love the pulsing action of this brush!

I have been a big fan of the battery operated toothbrushes since they came out. I love Until I bought this Oral B, I had only used Crest Spinbrushes. These brushes have come a long way in the last few years. I bought it at my dentists office after a cleanign. The Oral B Pulsar is different from the Crest Spinbrushes in the manner in which they work. The spinbush has a revolving circle at the top of the brush while the Pulsar has special bristles throughout the entire brush. I feel that the Oral B toothbrush works much better than the Crest product. My teeth feel much cleaner than before. I forgot my Oral B Pulsar when I went on vacation and had to get a tooth brush from the front desk of the hotel. I used it once and ended up buying a new Pulsar while on vacation. Once you use a Pulsar, you will agree that the old fashioned toothbrushes just don't do a through job. I also found that the batteries seem to last longer on the Pulsar.

I really like the Oral-B Pulsar Toothbrush.  I feel like it cleans very well.  It has a battery built in and it is relatively light.  Basically how it works is that the toothbrush has a plus button and a minus button.  Plus makes it go and minus makes it stop.  Thus I like the ease of use of this toothbrush.  So far this toothbrush has not died on me so I am not sure how long the battery will last, but I do wonder.  Also I like how it vibrates because I feel like my teeth and gums are being massaged and cleaned in a wonderful way. I place my toothbrush on top of a cup that I use to wash my retainer, because it definitely won't fit in a toothbrush holder unless the holes of the toothbrush holder are very long.  Also a possible con is that sometimes my hands feel weird since the toothbrush buzzes and buzzes in my hand; i hope that there are no long term effects of this.  Overall  it is easy to use and understand,  it is relatively light and it massages and cleans in a wonderful way.
