Braun Oral-B Triumph 9900 SmartGuide Rechargable Toothbrush Review

Overall Rating

Why is there a display on the handle? I think its pointless as you would spit toothpaste all over yourself trying to see it when brushing and its on the wrong side to see in a mirror. I think the loss of a battery charging light is a loss as I knew at a glance when it was on charge or not. The Smartguide itself it a cool feature that could possibly be a breakthrough in getting kids to brush their teeth correctly but I think it is lacking a night mode for a backlight display. Not everyone likes the bright light of a bathroom when they are brushing their teeth. Also an audible alarm when pressing too hard could be required as you tend to focus on the time and quadrant rather than little indicator. I think quadrants are good for a start but how to divide 30 seconds into front left, under left and back left so maybe showing in 10 second spaces to shift from front of teeth, the bite and behind?

Well I have just been treated to 1 of these for my Birthday. I am used to leccy brushes and my 8500 has served me well but I wanted the Smartguide as it maybe a gimic but I like it. With the Braun half price sale, it was cheaper than my previous model and I have a lot more in the box plus the chance to try a new brush head that I hadn't seen before, the floss action head. The shape even though slightly fatter, is banana shape so easy to hold. I love the new posh storage and charging dock, thank you Braun as I was bored of white tall box with flip lid. Showing the quadrants on the Smartguide is handy as I sometimes alter which I start with so I cant do 1 area twice now and miss 1. I also like the choice of modes - clean, soft, massage and polish not that I will use them all, I now have the choice. Brilliant toothbrush, glad to receive as a Birthday present. Noticing a difference already after only a couple of days and Im used to leccy brushes.
