    Toothsmith I bought an Oral B professional 7000 today for £27.99 do you know if this brush is any good or is the 9500 worth paying the exra for. It also doesn't say on the wrapper, but do you know if the heads are interchangable so we could share it?

    Many thanks

    The issue with interchanging is the speed setting is lost, which changes when you have a new person using it.

    Sonicare uses a ramp up increase in speed when you first get the toothbrush, so you can get use to it.

    Its a great toothbrush and avoids the fur built up around 4pm

    I have had a Philips Sonicare toothbrush for 3 years now and have been very happy with it. However recently it doesn't seem to hold its charge.
    So I ordered a replacement handle unit (£35 from shavers.co.uk - bargin!).

    However the new unit doesn't seem to charge up much either? So I'm wondering if the problem is the actual charging cradle. Has anybody else ever had trouble with one of these...

    I wouldn't expect such a simple thing to break?
    Thx

    They can take up to 24 hours to fully charge when new. Have you given it long enough?

    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    Thanks Nile, I was struggling to think where to post the thread :)

    Toothsmith, when I put the handle in the charging cradle, the LED's flash away showing me the progress of the charge. However when I check back later the LED's appear to have stopped flashing and the unit doesn't appear to be charging anymore??
    Thx

    Hmmm - normally all the lights light up and stay lit up until you take it off the charger.

    Maybe the new unit is duff - Like you I would think it unlikely that the charger was faulty.
