As far as being too rough on your gums, you can do that with a regular toothbrush....as well. I have a tendency to *scrub* instead of brush. I also heard that with a Sonicare you had to use specific kinds of toothpaste or else something would happen to the plastic handle. Anybody heard of this?
you should try the crest spin brush pro .. its only 10 dollars here in Canada, it comes with 2 AA batteries, so you don't have to plug it in or anything, you could just buy rechargeable batteries. I've had my brush for a few weeks now and the batteries are still fine .. they seem to last a long time.
