Kohls accidentally sent us a Sonicare toothbrush years ago when I ordered pants for my husband. I looked up the model and it was $149. They said to keep it. It is still going strong. My husband liked it, but wanted his own instead of swapping heads and has purchased at least 3 Sonicare brushes in the $20-40 range that have failed in the time we've had this other one. Luckily, no mold, but maybe it is because we swap heads for my kids, so it never stays dirty...if some toothpaste gets on the body, I clean it.

We had Sonicare and, despite looking like Kanye's toothbrush (with all the rose gold acents), it doesn't clean as well as the Oral-B's we've had since. This was confirmed by my dental hygienist.

The Phillips Sonicare with the gum setting and heads turned my hygienist's frown upside-down. I'm not kidding, she went from scolding and lecturing to boasting about my excellent hygiene. As all my teeth are crowned I'm just brushing around and around my gumline for two minutes.
