Summary: HydraBrush Toothbrush
Comment: I had this toothbrush on my wishlist, but the price was a bit prohibitive. When it came out on the gold box deal I grabbed it. I like the fact that it has a quicker brush time, and my teeth feel really clean when I finish brushing. I have found the brush head makes a great deal of difference. I liked the soft brushes that came with it but the plastic part kept hitting against my teeth, when I switched to the extra reach, also included, it was a much better fit for me.
Unlike other reviewers I haven't had any trouble with the battery life, it lasts a couple of weeks for me. My only real complaint is that I have to be sure to brush before I do my make-up because I do find that this tooth brush is a bit messier than most.
All in all I would recommend this brush, just make sure you try different brush heads to get the true "fit" for you.

Summary: HydraBrush Express Power Toothvrush
Comment: Like the ease in which you can brush your teeth. The power on the toothbrush is really slow. Even after charging it it runs so slow. Don't feel like I'm getting the job done as much as my crest spin pro. If I could have the power like crest spin pro but have the double brush, I would really be happy.
Also Ordered extra brushes and they all seem to be the same. The blue & pink aren't any different that I could tell. Was hoping the stiffer bristle would help make me feel I was doing good job; just can't tell the difference in those either.
Don't get me wrong I like the toothbrush, just needs more power to get the needed effect I wanted. Just have to brush longer, as it is now. That's why gave it only 3 stars.
(Maybe I picked the wrong one, probably there is one with more power & cheaper, just my luck.)

Summary: My wife loves it but there is room for improvement
Comment: I am an 8-year Sonicare tooth-brusher myself and I have no plans of switching but my wife can't stand those ultrasonic vibrations and she had to stay with traditional toothbrushes until a couple of months ago when she decided to try out the HydraBrush. She's been using it, twice a day, ever since and she is happy with it. She appreciates the fact that the brush cleans the back and the front of the teeth AND the teeth from the upper and the lower jaw at the same time. This cuts tooth-brushing time or, better, does more cleaning per time unit so one could have cleaner teeth while not spending a lot of time cleaning them.
I am taking two of the stars for several small reasons and I can see how some of my concerns/observations can be traced to my Sonicare experience and possible bias. I see this as fair because HydraBrush is competing for its share of the marketplace so comparisons with 'the best in class' are healthy and should lead to a better future product.
- Unlike the Sonicare's elegant, plug-free charging console, a wire needs to be plugged into the HyrdaBrush's body for charging to occur. This is a minus because the brush tends to be wet. I am not saying that it makes it dangerous to handle but it's a bit of a messy process.
- The body is a bit wide. Some redesign work focusing on streamlining may benefit.
- The switch 'feels' a bit fragile. The designers should spend some serious time studying the Sonicare and learn a thing or two.
- The overall feel is 'not-long-lasting' or 'cheap'. Like I said, my wife has used it for a couple of months already and it didn't break but my first Sonicare lasted for 5-6 years before I replaced it and one of my kids used it for one year more before he got a new one and it was still working when that happened. Will THIS HydraBrush last for 7 years? Probably not, given the 'physical switch' and the direct plug into the batteries.
To conclude, this is a POSITIVE review - 3 stars mean 'better than average' to me, but they are not a ringing endorsement. If my wife is still using this product one year from now, I will try to remember to come back to this product page and add one or two stars if warranted.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Incredibly poorly built
Comment: The plastics and manufacturing methods used are sub-par.
1) Moisture WILL make it into the housing
2) The water guard is made incorrectly; seam broke overnight
3) Brush head plastics do not appear to be food-grade. This worries me a great deal.
The motor's torque in inadequate for it's duty
The charging mechanism does not use inductance (like just about every other electric toothbrush on the market), so water exposure can cause premature failure.
I'm bought it based on the good reviews, but now I'm inclined to believe all of the excellent reviews were shills.
Customer Rating:
Summary: good but not great, better products out there
Comment: I purchased this HydraBrush thinking it looked like it could clean better than my SonicCare, it does not. I used my HydraBrush for 4 months, had a dentist check up and the dental assistant said wow you are missing brushing quite a few areas. This was a shock to me because I thought I would have a steller appointment like always, especially since I had this new premium tooth brush. No this tooth brush caused me to miss certain teeth altogether. Also, the toothbrush just totally stopped working after 6 months of use. What a waste of money!
