- There have been a lot of complaints about the Interplak, which has a
- number of major design failings. Some have been corrected in the newest
- model.
-
- I have had two fail on me. I switched to the Braun about six months ago,
- have been very satisfied, and since then have had a very good dental
- checkup.
-
- Braun's design is like a fortress. The entire unit is sealed against
- water, and the switch is a sliding magnet on the outside of the case,
- with the electrical goodies sealed inside. Charging is by magnetic
- induction from the base, not electrical contact. There is no way the Braun
- or its base can rust out, as the Interplak often did, and I'd guess you
- could take a bath with the base and not get a shock.
