- I used the Interplak for about a year after which it started to poop
- out. Instead of replacing it, I bought the Braun Oral-B. It is easier
- to use, the head does not qunk up like the Interplak did, and it seems
- to be much better built.
-
- This switch is magnetic and is easily cleaned, as is the base. My
- Interplak base started smelling like burning transformer (even though
- it still worked) and got lot of crusty brown crud in the charging
- receptical. The Braun is designed differently, even though it is still
- an inductive charger. There is also an indication on the motor unit
- that it is charging. You could only hope the Interplak was charging, or
- you could feel the base after a while and it would be hot--unlike the
- Braun which stays cool.
-
- I highly recommend the Braun.
