We bought the Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush at Costco about 2 years ago. We bought it not based on any reviews but by the price.
The features:
Each brush comes with 2 heads
it has 2 speeds
it makes vibration sound every 30 seconds to let you know to switch sections.
it comes with a charger.
there is a charge needed light and a charge full light.
it has a 2 minute timer that shuts off at the correct time.
it comes with a travel case and a brush holder.

What I like about it is how easy it is to use. It is very easy to know when you need to charge by the lights on it and the timer makes it hard to miss when you are done. I feel like it really does get my teeth much cleaner than brushing alone. The package claims it cleans teeth with sonic technology. I don’t know how this works or if it does, but my teeth look and feel cleaner.
What I dislike about this brush is how messy it gets. To change a brush head you unscrew it. That is pretty easy, but you find all of this black stuff and crusty stuff in there which is some kind of mildew or mold. Even if you rinse your brush after every use it still builds up in there and as far as I can tell the only way to clean it is with a q tip. It is really difficult to reach in there and it makes me nervous from a health standpoint.
The other major problem with this toothbrush is that if you set it on a counter and do not place it in the charger it is very easy to knock over and it will roll
On the whole I cannot say if I would reccomend it. I do like it and do not plan on replacing mine, but I do wonder if there are easier to clean brushes out there. It does a good job of cleaning, but it is a real hassle to keep up.
