Question 1

Anyone having issues with the initial charge? Ours has been charging for over 24 hours and just that first segment is still flashing (plus if you try to use it it'll vibrate for a second then stop). Not sure if it's because of our porcelain counter top in our bathroom but that'd be stupid if that was the reason...not e…

First, I had no problem with the four I bought. The Ultreo was by far and away the best toothbrush we ever had. However, I am confused. I thought they went out of business. But I see that on their site www.Ultreo.com they are selling the brush for $150. Then again, Amazon is selling it for $200. I just bought a DazzlePro and it seems to be almost as good as the Ultreo.

Question 2

Does the new Ultero from the new manufacturer have the same power/charging problems that killed the original?

Accepted Answer

Ultero no longer exists, thanks to the big manufacturers that squeezed the smaller but promising company. Ultero had a great machine using ultrasound. I don't believe you can buy Ultero, and if you can, you can't get brush replacements. Thus I had to purchase Phillips SonicCare. The charging problems you referred to still exists and the solution is to run down the batteries every two weeks. The batteries need to be exercised frequently, otherwise they develop a memory and eventually will not charge. I have had my Phillips unit for over five years. So remember to not place the unit on the charger every two or three weeks, and run the unit down until it buzzes lightly, then recharge it. Runs great and I replace the bristle/brush unit every year. Hope this helps.

Question 3

Is it safe to use the older original Ultreo toothbrush based on it being redesigned because of issues??

Accepted Answer

I got tired of fighting the issue and purchased the Megasonix Toothbrush. The battery in the Ultreo was subpar...  Checkout Megasonic: Imagine a toothbrush so powerful, it makes 192,000,000 movements per minute, yet, thanks to its low-amplitude design, is among the gentlest toothbrushes in its class. Imagine a toothbrush that marries therapeutic 1.6 MHz ultrasonic motion with conventional sonic action to create a brushing experience like no other

Question 4

Does anyone know what size batteries are in the Ultreo?  Look like AA NiH batteries.  I will go To batteries plus to get them to spot weld a couple.

Accepted Answer

I never knew batteries were in it since it mines stayed on the charger all the time. I never tried to take it apart. Spot welding may void the warranty...
