    This must be the same thing or a very close knock off from Alliexpress.
    Might be good for heads.

    I got that knock-off from Ali and I'm very happy with it.
    Got it some time ago and charged three times so far.

    Finding my teeth quite clean.

    Before I had come sonic (forgot make) and OralB rotary.

    I have the toothbrush from the OP, bought it 6 months ago and the battery only just died last week - I can't find the charger it's lasted so long. I don't like the massive bulky electric toothbrushes so this looked promising at the price and it's one of the best purchases I've made. Consider this a genuine 5 star review in any case.

    Just tried out my new 508 for the first time and I'm really impressed. A more high pitched sound than any previous electric toothbrushes I've used but it works great and my teeth feel really clean.

    I got the travel case with it too and it's good quality.

    So far so good. Great value at GBP30 all in. Thanks OP.

    It's lighter, makes a higher pitched sound but in my opinion and that of many others on here who've purchased it, it's far superior when it comes to cleaning your teeth. A charge also lasts significantly longer, at least a month.

    I have this, it's absolutely brilliant. I've had it for 6 months. The interdental attaches are also excellent
    I have always used oral b electric (last one was the 9000) but I'd never go back.

    I went for the FW-508BK model and it arrived today.
    Much less harsh on the gums than my Oral B rotary, and also the toothpaste / spit doesn't roll down the sonic brush and onto my hand like it does with the oral b.

    The sensitive is mode very handy for those with sensitive gums also.

    Looking forward to getting a month out of the battery too, and the inductive charging in the oral b was a nightmare as it would take the best part of a day and only last me 2 weeks max.

    The Chinese brands use far superior lithium ion batteries these compared to the big companies,
    A while back I bought a hair clipper with removable lithium ion battery and usb charging and I have yet to charge the thing!

    Can I ask, has yours got 3 or 5 modes? Mine arrived, 508 on the box which I presumed was the one with 5 modes but only has 3 modes.

    They are probably including on and off as modes :)
    Great toothbrush for the money

    It's the 507 model that has the five modes.

    3 modes on mine also. The box is a lie. :P

    I don't know what you would use the massage mode for, I just use the sensitive mode as my gums aren't the best.

    For people with sensitive gums these are great, with the oral B there was a bit of blood each time, but I would sort of rush it.

    If I rush with this there's no blood whatsoever.

    You should be able to get a replacement cable easily.

    Search for USB to DC plug on AliExpress.

    I might measure the internal and external diameter of the DC barrel later and try and find the specific one for you.

    That makes sense then as to why there is only 3 on mine. I could have swore I read 5 modes in the description but I must have mixed up the 2.

    What was the 'normal' price for this product? And is it as good as the reviews say, would buyers recommend it over regular electric brushes?
    It's always around the 20 quid mark, this is normal price for it. I know cos I got one last summer. I would definitely recommend it to a normal electric tooth brush, ended up getting the wife one too.

    The way it moves is different to the bog standard electric tooth brush. It doesn't have that moving part on the brushhead. Way more expensive oral b electric brushes work the same way. These bristles move tiny amounts but at a really high frequency. Feels very weird the first few times but I wouldn't use the old fashioned type again, these feel much much better. Holds the charge for way longer too. Probably a youtube video on it.

    recommend the toothbrush. Always bit suspicious when moving away from the big brands like Oral B, but this toothbrush for the price is great.

    Have had an oral b about year and this is miles better. better clean and the inter-dental head brush does a great job getting to those hard to reach places.

    Recommend. thanks to whoever posted original post.

    Another +1 on this. Had been using the bog standard Oral B electric till I bought this one which arrived yesterday. The brush is way better than the Oral B, it just leave your teeth feeling much cleaner. Its funny as I once said the same thing about the Oral B over manual brushing but now this product is another level up. Well worth the price, I might buy a second one just to have the interdental brush on it all the time rather than the hassle of switching over the heads.

    Thanks again OP, great recommendation.

    My model with the 3 buttons does not. But it's not really necessary as it does less damage then the oral Bs. Even a light touch is all that's needed.

    Just bought one of these in a flash sale on Amazon, 15.50£.

    Already have one of these Oral-B SmartSeries 6500... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00LMDWOEO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share, so am not sure what to expect.

    So after a month and a day I noticed the led go red towards the end of brushing with the Sonic Toothbrush.

    I was using it more than twice a day and longer than the suggested timer for each session, that's impressive!

    Just wondering if anyone knows how long it lasts after that red light comes on?

    I have mine changing now but it would be handy to know how much longer you could get out of it if you were on holidays or something.
    Thanks again to the OP for such an awesome deal.
