OK, but what about married people... ... who need to have a toothbrush each but can obviously share the charger?

Costco sells the E9500 in a package with two handles, one charger, three brush heads. Periodically, like now, they have a $30 off coupon which makes the whole package cost about $100. Much better than the one handle for $119 you get here.

We have one unit between my husband and myself. The heads remove completely so more than one member can use it.

both of them have a power cord. You can shave by battery power, or with the cord, either way.

I took my toothbrush on a four day trip across the country and it lasted. My old toothbrush would last more than two weeks, so I'm assuming that this one will be the same. I usually bring my charger anyway, well not for the 4 day trip.

I also fried mine in Germany! Now I'm looking for just the charger-- but will have to buy a whole new toothbrush set!!

The comment doesn't have anything to do with dental hygiene. It has to do with teenage behavior. This is the cheapest model, and it doesn't require that you properly place it in the recharger after use.

Not sure? I started using a children's toothbrush, but now use my electric toothbrush. May just be a sales gimmick? But the toothpaste is awesome!

Absolutely. In fact, I'm about to place an order for my child, who is 14 months old. He sees his older sister using one every morning and is completely fascinated by it. I should say, though, that I would be the one doing the brushing for him. The toothbrush itself is pretty heavy (well, at least heavier than your standard).

I had the same problem. Bought 2 Vitality toothbrushes from 2 different Target stores and had the same problem. I am about ready to take back the second and try a Sonicare. According to the Braun U.K. Forums, the battery/charging unit is a real problem. Supposedly, if the toothbrush is left in the on position it won't charge. Problem is there is no on/off indicator. Horrible design decision.

Not long, I have had the toothbrush several months now and I have gone well over a week without charging it. I can't say exactly how long, but if I let it die and put it on charge before sleep, it can fully charge by the time I wake up

Yes. This is a great charger. My husband LOVES it. He uses it to shave his head and gets a very close shave.

The unit is placed in the stand that contains the charger which is plugged in at all times. It can be left in there until the next brushing.

Yes. The toothbrush holder plugs into an electrical outlet to keep the battery charged. You can leave the toothbrush in the holder to keep it charged. Or you can take it out of the holder but must put it back in the base when battery needs recharging.

Sometimes, people may have two cars. It is nice to keep one spare in case you forgot the charger in the other car.

I'm not sure, but if I had to guess I'd say yes. We have three different types of Sonicare toothbrushes in our house--the kids and two different models of the adult--and all the heads are interchangeable. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, but I can't remember what model my adult toothbrushes are and they don't care anywhere on them.

Yes they can. It's also a great toothbrush (though I admittedly don't have that much to compare it too as it's my first electronic toothbrush) Philips Sonicare Hx3012/64 Powerup Brush Head, Regular, 2 Count

We hang our kid's electric toothbrushes and they are fine. I wouldn't try my Sonicare though (too heavy.)
