Customer Reviews Beats buying a whole new electric toothbrush system... by .. John M. Walin (Chicago) I was skeptical about this item working with my 4 year old Oral B toothbrush charger and stand. Would a replacement fit, and was the charger broken and not that is was an original handset? WOW, the battery on the original handset was so bad my wife and I couldn't both brush our teeth in the morning on a full charge. And because the mode of failure is so slow and happens over time, we thought it was normal that the 2nd person brushing in the morning running out of juice was normal- its not! The replacement head after fully charging had so much more power and agitation I wish we would have chucked the old unit a year ago. I also hear some people like to have a 2nd handset to keep in another bath or not have to change heads every time we brushed, but wife and I are used to the drill of removing our color head and charging handset without a toothbrush head on top.
After a lot of research on-line I realized that the battery life for a rechargeable handset was probably the problem and the way to go was figure out which mount would fit the recharger. Having an older unit the colors vary from the new models but basically the post that fits inside the handle is the same size for each manufacturer. Manufacturers don't advertise this fact! I was ready to plop down $85 for a whole new pretty charger stand and fancy packaging when I realized the handset was replaceable and it was just a matter of researching the brand I had.
That battery charger is pretty tough to break and rarely would it fail. My method was to look at pictures and brand name and one seller had the bottom picture to show the interface to the charger. Once I had the exact mfg model number I googled it and found the parts list. After seeing the mfg parts I knew it would fit and looked on eBay and Amazon for a seller.
Definitely save yourself the purchase price of a whole replacement system when the only wear part is the handset. As a side note, I am sold on the floss action replacement heads from Oral-B. Those babies make my dentist think I'm flossing and I am not!
Braun Toothbrush by .. John R. Dellaguardia (Phila., PA) Product was purchased to replace an older power handle that jammed and stopped working. The new one operates perfectly. By the way, I got the old one unjammed. Now my wife an I each have our own handle and don't have to keep switching the brush heads when we brush teeth.
Nice Toothbrush! by .. Crazy About Cooking (Texas) We bought this Braun toothbrush power handle a couple weeks ago to replace our old one that finally gave up the ghost after several years of constant use. It fit our old charger perfectly, works well, and was a great price! Also, the shipping could not have been faster...was received in less than a week! Thanks Amazon.
