I like the compact design of this product, and as I travel a lot, I appreciate the space and weight savings. It seems to me that that brushing cycle is a bit short compared to my Braun toothbrush.
The vibrations of this toothbrush seem to aid in cleaning, however, I an not totally convinced it's the vibrations doing the work and not the conventional brushing strokes used.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
