Electric Toothbrushes are said to be a better way of achieving a thorough oral cleaning, yet a staggering eighty five percent of consumers still prefer manual toothbrushes. Oral-B conducted this survey and they found that most people prefer the familiarity of the simple, to and fro motion of a manual toothbrush. I think this would be more of a generational thing, since I'm the most familiar with the disposable battery operated toothbrushes. I personally feel that even the disposable battery operated brushes provide a much better cleaning then a manual toothbrush.
To make the transition easier Oral-B developed the Professional Deep Sweep Triaction 1000. The notable difference is that the brush head is shaped like a manual toothbrush. I find that I really like this feature because the brush is a substantial size and thus covers more territory. It's also designed to be used as a manual toothbrush, so the user is brushing in the same fashion as they would a manual toothbrush.
If you still prefer not to part with your manual brush then you may want to consider these facts.
Oral-B Professional Deep Sweep Triaction 1000
48,800 Bristle movements per minute
Removes 100% more plaque than manual toothbrushes
Removes 76% More plaque in hard to reach areas compared to the competition (Sonicare)
I love this toothbrush! it's very powerful and I feel as if I'm in the dentist office having my teeth professionally cleaned. There are seven tiers of brushes and as the name suggest, these brushes go to work sweeping back and forth.
I have the tendency to brush my teeth too hard which is bad for tooth enamel, so I appreciate that the Deep Sweep stops pulsating when too much pressure is applied to the teeth.

Rechargeable battery. Can remain on charger without harm for convenience.
Oral hygiene is important to me, mainly because I have crappy dental insurance. If you don't take good care of your teeth, then somewhere down the road it's gonna cost you. This very powerful toothbrush is just what the dentist ordered to keep appointments at bay. The average retail value for the Oral-B Deep Sweep Triaction 1000 is only sixty five dollars. A brush head will last three months. Surely a very wise investment.
Oral-B offers a two year warranty

I use electric but the giveaway one is out of this world. I love it. I find that the electric just cleans better in a short amount of time, too.

I haven't used an electric toothbrush since I was a kid, so I'm not sure how to answer this question. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that I'd prefer an electric toothbrush because I think it might help me brush longer.

I prefer electric toothbrushes. The electric toothbrush goes up and down fast as you move it back and forth and this causes you clean more area.
I use electric, because once you go electric you will never go back! I love my Oral B.
This Oral-B is way different, would LOVE to try it.

I prefer electric, in particular for my child as I know without a doubt, the electric brush will do a much better job than the few little swipes he would do with a manual brush.

i like both...they have their advantages
Electric ...because it feels like the bristels get further between my teeth.

I've only tried cheap electric toothbrushes before. I wasn't a huge fan because it made my teeth hurt. I did like having cleaner teeth, though.
Electric because you can tell it gets your teeth so much cleaner!
I prefer electric. I had a hand injury that makes doing many things including brushing my teeth awkward and difficult.
electric because it feels like it cleans better.
I have used both, but prefer the electric. I seem to get a better clean and my gums are definitely healthier. But my electric toothbrush is so old now, it doesn't hold it's charge anymore. Winning this one would be so great.
I prefer an electric because it keeps me from brushing too hard and my dentist recommended it.

Personally I prefer manual toothbrush but I am a Certifed Dental Assistant and my technique is grea! But I often recommend electric for many of our patients and have seen really fantastic improvements in their oral hygiene. Boys and men especially are more motivated when they can use "gadgets"

Electric because it cleans better
Actually either works for me, but i know my son and hubby prefer the electric ones better they say it cleans better!!
Electric it does a better job especially when I am really tired.
I prefer electric.
I use both because I read you are not supposed to brush your tongue with your electric toothbrush tip. It makes it not clean your teeth as well.

My Oral B electric toothbrush is about 10 years old. It still works well. Interesting that they changed the tooth brush attachment style. I always get excellent feedback from my dentist ever since I switched to an electric toothbrush. I paid a lot more for my original one.
I prefer an electric...our dentist agrees the kids hygiene has improved with the electric
I have never tried an electric toothbrush, so I guess I prefer a manual.
