The Oral-B Triumph 9400 combines an oscillating-rotating brush head and provides the user with feedback regarding your brushing technique. Praise for its excellent movement over teeth, ease of use and battery life. A microchip tracks battery charge, notifies different users when their brush heads should be replaced and rewards you with a smiley face on the LCD display when you complete the recommended two-minute brush time.
I've been using the Oral B Triumph for a few months now. I've probably had half a dozen electric toothbrushes over the years. It does a good job. It is a little heavier and more wieldy than most, but nothing near enough to keep me from buying it again. I really like how it gives a short buzz after each 30 seconds, alerting me to move on to the next quadrant, and a longer buzz after two minutes.
What I don't like is that the brush and handle are hard to keep clean. Prior to this, I always just rinsed my toothbrush then gave the handle a quick swipe with a handtowel. Never had any problems. This one, even when I take extra care to wipe it, still leaves little toothpaste rings on the counter and toothpaste trails down the handle.
Overall, it's a great toothbrush but quite frankly, so are most electric toothbrushes except the real cheapos. Would I pay an extra $50 again just to be reminded to switch quadrants every 30 seconds? Probably not.
