Customer Reviews of Oral B S-340 Sonic Complete Rechargeable Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: Overall...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Oral-B Sonic Complete purely on a "gut" feeling and I'm glad I did. This toothbrush is a winner. It delivers as promised and makes your teeth and gums feel radiant. I'm generally skeptical of advertising hype, but this brush is amazingly effective. In only a few minutes, it makes your mouth feel fresh and healthy. You can see and feel whiter teeth after only a few uses. The unit is well-designed, easy to use, and effective.
There are three modes and each is useful in its own way. The "clean" mode is the strongest and is used on your teeth. It creates a pleasant tickling feeling in your mouth but some people may need to get used to it. The "soft" mode is for your use on your tongue. And finally, the "massage" mode produces an intriguing, pulsating pattern to clean your gums.
The brush gives a tactile pulsing signal every thirty seconds to remind you to switch quadrants in your mouth. It signals you again at two minutes to remind you to stop.
The Sonic Complete comes charged right out of the box so you can use it immediately. I like the whole design of the brush/charger assembly. A full charge takes roughly 16 hours and a pleasant-looking blue light blinks until the brush is fully charged. Then the light stays steady. According to the manual, the unit can last 2 weeks on one charge. The travel case with the S-320 is also a plus. The cord folds into the charger unit. Braun recommends changing the brush head every 3 months.
It's not often that I buy something and feel so completely happy about my purchase. But once you start using the Sonic Complete, you won't ever want to go back to only using a regular brush.
One improvement I would suggest is in the packaging. My unit came in a plastic blister-pack which is hard to open and environmentally wasteful. How about plain cardboard packaging like that used with Philip's Sonicare? However, the replacement brushes do come in a small cardboard package. And it will be nice someday when manufacturers don't use toxic cadmium-based batteries. But these are small complaints compared to the benefits of the Sonic Complete. Overall, this brush is a good buy and keeps your teeth very clean.

Customer Review: Otherwise I can't wait until my next dental checkup...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Braun Oral B 3D toothbrush for some time now, and although that unit does a much better job cleaning your teeth and gums than a traditional manual brush, my dentist kept recommending a sonic toothbrush. Unfortunately, the only sonic brush available at that time was the Sonicare, which in my opinion was large and ungainly, not easy to handle. At last, here comes a sonic toothbrush from Braun/Oral B with a nice design and a compact body no larger than the 3D model. I'm happy to say that it works every bit as good as it looks! It makes my mouth feel even cleaner than the 3D model did, and it's so much fun to use, it even seems to make the two minutes spent brushing fly by. As another user has noted, the only downside is the packaging: that hard plastic blister pack was all but impossible to open, and removing it exposed sharp plastic edges that could easily cut someone. It's just about the most consumer-unfriendly packaging I've ever encountered, so bad in fact that I got on Braun's toll-free consumer hotline before I had even finished opening the box and told them to eliminate the blister pack. Otherwise I can't wait until my next dental checkup, when I'm guessing the hygienist will ask what I did to improve my dental care regimen. Assuming that you can remove the blister pack without hurting yourself, this toothbrush must be the most effective and easy-to-use on the market. Highly recommended!
An addendum, written a few weeks later: one feature this toothbrush could use is a low charge indicator. Twice now it has run out of power when I've been brushing, and when it quits, it just quits -- no slowing down to alert you to a low-battery condition. I notice the instructions acknowledge this problem by advising you to keep the brush in the charger base at all times, but this is also a sure way to make the nicad battery lazy. So Braun -- how about making the speed indicator LEDs flash when the battery is running low?
Customer Review: I keep hitting the "on" swith while using this thing.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just used this thing this morning and oh boy...feel like I just get my teeth cleaned by the dentist. I've been using Panasonic sonic toothbrush for over a year now and this Oral B Sonic Complete is way better. Faster speed then Panasonic. A bit heavier though and the "on"switch should have been positioned better. I keep hitting the "on" swith while using this thing.

Customer Review: I can only say that when my dentist's office recommended this toothbrush it was highly praised.
Summary: 5 Stars
I can only say that when my dentist's office recommended this toothbrush it was highly praised. My Sonicare was growing old and I hated cleaning it (Ugg!!). The Sonic Complete is a dream to clean, easily taken apart for cleaning with every use. And what a difference in the cleaning mode! For a thorough, well-written evaluation, I would refer you to the Simeon Hein review. No need to repeat it all again. Don't forget to recycle the batteries when the brush finally dies. . .instructions are provided in the manual.Customer Review: This brush is a must have for good oral health.

I love it! It really makes your mouth feel clean. Once you get used to the electronic vibration, you will really notice a difference. This brush is a must have for good oral health.
