I have never been that diligent about brushing my teeth regularly, and while that is still true, I have definitely gotten better at it. The thirty-second pulses are very helpful for me because they help me time-box how long I will be brushing my teeth for and don't require me to keep a running count in my head of how long I have been brushing my teeth for.
The case that sticks to my mirror is very useful, but don't store your toothbrush in it upside down. This causes the battery to make contact and slowly drain even when the toothbrush is not in use. I went through two AAA batteries before I realized this was the case. Since then I have not needed to replace the battery.
I am about to receive my first set of replacement bristles and it is right around when I would be replacing my toothbrush, and since it's only $5, that's reasonable for me and I don't have to put in any thought into remembering how long ago I brought my current brush.
The toothbrush is a good weight, and I have had the good results I expected from brushing with it. I don't think the vibration does much other than help keep time, but maybe it is helping the bristles get just a little bit deeper.
The only way this could be better is if it was somehow hands-free or auto flossed for me. But that tech feels like it might still be a little ways away.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
