Oral-B Vitality Toothbrush

I had to buy this Oral-B Vitality toothbrush so I could use my UV sanitizer that I got from BzzAgent.com.
I do not like the tiny round head (FexiSoft) it feels weird. I gave it a fair chance and used it for a while before deciding I hated it. I brush my tongue as well as my teeth (for fresh breath), and this FlexiSoft head just does not work on the tongue. I just have a good old fashion manual tooth brush for that.

AT, least the base of this toothbrush can take a few different heads. I have not tried any of the other ones, yet, but I will eventually.
The base is bigger than my old Oral-B, and it took me a while to get used to it. I still do not like it but I am used to it.
I read in the booklet that “you may feel it get stronger as you use it”, they say it builds up so your teeth can get used to it, but I say it just drains more of the battery. It has a timer, so it pluses when two minutes have passed, again this feature seems to just drain the battery. I have had other toothbrushes with timer and they just turned off after two minutes (less energy). I like the fact that it is rechargeable, but the charge does not last very long. It seems to get shorter every time I have charged the battery.
Setting it up to charge it easy, just plug it the charger and put the toothbrush base on it. I have left the charger plugged in without the base on it to see if it got hot. I was happy to see it didn’t get hot anywhere on the charger, I felt EVERYWHERE because I have a fear of house fires so things like that are important to me. I still would not recommend leaving it plugged in.
It takes about seven hours or more to fully charge this monster. The rechargeable toothbrush I had before this one charged in three hours.
The on and off switches have held up so far, and are easy to function.
