Seconding the battery problems, and family and friends echo that sentiment. To my limited knowledge, the sales folks for Oral-B visit the dentists who get them onboard with recommending it to patients. It would be a tall order and slow process for a competitor to make meaningful inroads within the UK, but one I wish someone would take on. Very frustrating, especially considering that the amount spent doesn't seem to buy a better product, just added gimmicks on top of the same disappointing base experience. Furthermore, I went through quite literally half a dozen Sonicare Airfloss with pump failures, eventually landed on a water flossing device with an enormous handle from Amazon, at least the pumps don't die now, but new problem of developing leaks after half a year. There's no winning.
