 Excellent Replacement Handle July 3, 2007

A couple of years ago Braun charged $100 for a new handle. Since then, they've apparently wised up. They now charge more for the brushes and less for the handles. That's okay with me -- I only replace the brush about once in 6 months, so the $6 price doesn't seem too bad. (I did some research on the Medline medical database about this -- yes, you need to replace brushes, but not as often as Braun says.)
The handle is a bit bigger and heavier than the one it replaced and it's bright blue instead of muted gray. It seems a little more powerful, and it feels different in the hand, but you get used to it quickly. (It's the same height as the old one, it's slightly wider, so it doesn't fit the original travel case.)
Tip: to keep your handle clean and free of mold, rinse and DRY it after every use. Yes, it's a pain, but otherwise you get little bits of black mold on the rubber part of your handle. That's what did my old one in.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this product. Works great, came quickly, fair price.

My old Power Handle wore out after 5 years of superb service! This is a great replacement. Charged it put a toothbrush on it (from the old one) and it worked great!

I had an Oral B 3D toothbrush that I had purchased 10 years ago. It came with two power handles, which my husband and I enjoyed. They both went bad within a week, and I was looking to replace them. A new toothbrush kit with charger and a single handle was about $75 to $100+, depending on the model. I found two handles (these were two speed and my old ones were only single speed) for only about $15 each. So we have two new electric toothbrushes for about a third of the cost of an entire kit, even with shipping. What a great deal!

I left my Braun power toothbrush on a cruise ship. I had the system for several years and didn't want to pay $80 for a new system. I still had the charger. This replacement was reasonably priced and it fit my old charger and spare heads. It works great and I received it it quickly from the vendor. I highly recommend this as a replacement or for an added unit for another family member.
I have been using the Braun for years and think it is a well made product does a superior job of cleaning your teeth.
It has a novel and proprietary charging system so if you don't have the charger, this handle will not do you much good.
Perfect replacement. July 16, 2008

My former power toothbrush was dying, I got this replacement unit for a super price --also an additional charger--, what else can be said. My former power toothbrush (same model) lasted for several years, I cannot even remember how many.
