 Like it better than sonicareNov 05, 2009
Prior to purchasing this Oral-B I had used a Sonicare brush (for ~8 years; it finally died). I have very sensitive gums/teeth and am forever trying to figure out how to brush well enough, yet not aggravate my tooth sensitivity. I was concerned Oral-B would be worse for my sensitivity but gave it a try because of the price, reviews and the two-pack (one for my wife).
This toothbrush is great! I actually experience less sensitivity, while brushing longer, than I did with my Sonicare. And on top of it - it whitens my teeth much better! I'm very happy with it so far!

Great Toothbrush!Sep 23, 2009
This is a great toothbrush and a good value. It comes with 2 handles, a charging base, a travel case, 4 brush heads, and a tongue cleaner. I have been using it for almost 3 weeks and my teeth feel much cleaner and even look whiter.

I'm a BelieverMay 28, 2009
I was always skeptical of Electric Toothbrushes. I never believed that they did anything different than what a Manual toothbrush could do and I never could justify the price. However after a trip to the dentist, getting my teeth cleaned and getting my first fillings at 26, I knew I had to change it up.
I was planning on getting the Oral B 9950 from Amazon but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much money, even if it was a great deal. I happened to be in Costco one day and saw the Oral B 8850 two-pack. I ended up getting it for $74.99 and I am glad I did.
I noticed the difference immediately after my first brushing. My teeth felt polished and deep-cleaned. I had to switch to "Sensitive Mode" because the regular Cleaning Mode was a little too rough for the first time. Now after 2 weeks of brushing with my 8850 I will never go back to a Manual toothbrush again. One of my biggest concerns was the back of my teeth. Waaaaay in the back. They always seemed to accumulate tartar throughout the day no matter how hard I brushed back there with my manual, I even started to take a brush and toothpaste to work with me but since I started with the 8850 I no longer have tartar back there at all. Instead it's a smooth, polished surface that stays clean all day and all night.
The 8850 has 3 modes. Clean, Sensitive & Polish. The "Clean Mode" is regular strength brushing. You push the button the handle once to start. The "Sensitive Mode" is a little softer cleaning. To get to that mode you push the button twice. And "Polish" is for polishing. You push the button a third time to get to that mode.
The handle also has it's own timer built in. After every 30 seconds it pulses and after a full 2 minutes it pulses 4 times to let you know you're done. However, when it pulses it does slow down/interrupt the brushing for 1 or 2 beats. It's something I got used to but my boyfriend absolutely hates it. To some this could be a draw back but for myself, it's not a deal breaker, just a small annoyance.
One great thing about these brushes is that they hold a charge. According to the directions they hold their charges for up to 2 weeks after you charge it for 16 hours. The handles also have indicator lights when the handle is charged and when it needs re-charged. I have only charged my brushes once since I've purchased them and there has been no difference in power since my first charging.
As for the natural whitening, I do see a difference in the shade of my teeth. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker but I drink coffee, tea and soda. I haven't changed my toothpaste - I use Colgate Total + Whitening - and I credit the whiter shades to the toothbrush.
I highly recommend this set to anyone who wants to switch from a Hardcore Manual Toothbrush User to an Electric Tooth Brush believer. These toothbrushes are inexpensive compared to other brands and they do everything advertised. It's a great investment.
*Product Update* December 3, 2009
I still love my toothbrush and am still very please with the lighter shades my teeth have become. I recently went to the dentist and the hygienist spent significantly less time scraping and cleaning my teeth than what I'm used to. So I stand by my review and my recommendation to pick one up. BUT - I don't know if others have experienced this, my handle is no longer staying charged for the full two weeks. It seemed that I was charging it more and more and one day I decided to write down when it was charged last and what do you know, the charge is only lasting 6 days now. I'm pretty disappointed considering I haven't even had it a full year yet. But it still works exactly the same as it did when I bought it, minus the charging issue, and it still is cleaning my teeth how I expect.

 great valueApr 02, 2009
I love everything except the the two speeds. You have to push the button twice to turn it off. I prefer just an on/off switch.
