Since the sonicare brush has a rechargeable battery (I think, it fits in a little plug in gadget between brushings) Sorry, I could say unit instead of gadget, but it still wouldn't describe it. The base of the brush fits into the gadget and stands straight up, there is a cover for the bristles.The gadget plugs into an electric plug It does not take up much room.You can feel the brush vibrate, just faster than a regular tooth brush.There is a little noise ( very little). You put toothpaste and ,of course water ,on it and then press a button. This is easy to do. My dentist had me get it a long time ago. The only thing I don't like is that it keeps going 2 minutes, but this gives you plenty of time to brush, the outer, then inner surface and behind your back teeth. It really does keep your teeth clean and your gums in good condition . He would rather that I use it after every meal, but no one gets their druthers. The rest of the time I just brush. My dentist also thinks I should brush 2 minutes with a regular brush, I doubt that I do- no timer in my hand :-). The sonicare also comes with a booklet , which you do not need until you have to change the bristle part of the brush. Nita KF Etzold wrote: > Just curious: How does that thing work?
