Our next arrangement of tests concentrated on how simple and helpful to utilize every one of these items are. We thought about and scored what number of brushing modes there are and that it is so natural to switch between them, that it is so natural to clean the brush, and if there is capacity for additional brush heads on the charging base, and in addition if there is a clock.
For the brushing modes, we were searching for a simple to utilize interface, and additionally the nearness of pointer lights that would mean what mode you are in.

To perceive how simple to clean every toothbrush is, we looked at how water-safe every one is and how much function it is to in reality clean. We showered each model with an answer of water and toothpaste and perceived to what extent it took to clean each model, and in addition if there were any spots we missed or that were outstandingly hard to reach.
At last, we noted if what number of additional brush heads could be put away on either the charging base or travel case and if there is a 2-minute clock. Furthermore, we likewise granted additional focuses for items that had interim dispersing in the clock.
For our last measurement, we saw to what extent every toothbrush kept going on a solitary charge. This was generally simple to test, as we essentially charged each model completely per the maker's guidelines, and after that ran every one on a standard mode for two minutes toward the beginning of the day and two minutes at night. This test took an especially lengthy time-frame — barely two months however was the best way to precisely look at the backup control draws of these models, which turned out to be very noteworthy for the "Shrewd" models.
