Why does the product info say "designed specifically for preteens and teens"? Is there any reason why this product would not be good for an adult?

I've been a Sonicare user for many years. My whole family uses this model. Works the same as the rechargeable models, but with no annoying charger to sit on your counter and collect dust and gunk, thank you very much. Also the rechargeable models I had prior to this occasionally would have the battery go bad after a year or so, and that's an expensive item to replace -- better to just buy a new unit. I use rechargeable batteries in this model -- they work great for weeks at a time. Also nice for extended travel -- bring an extra set of batteries just in case but no charger. No reason that this is "for kids and teens". I've been a Sonicare user for many years. My whole family uses this model.

The comment doesn't have anything to do with dental hygiene. It has to do with teenage behavior. This is the cheapest model, and it doesn't require that you properly place it in the recharger after use.

I'm an adult and it works great! I think the teen reference is with respect to the pricepoint, but hopefully the landfills need not suffer. Do the earth a favor and use rechargeable aa batteries please!! Low discharge nimh batteries last 6 weeks in this model, which is great.

I think it has to do with cost. Paid over $120 for a pair the rechargeable types as a set. After the batteries died, I bought one like this for $28 and use rechargeable AAs. That's better. No beeps on when to change quadrants but I don't need that kind of direction. Am going to get another one.

F.Y.I.: I'm a senior, and love this brush. My dentist recommends them, and at my age I am doing all I can to make sure I leave this world with all my teeth (so far so good!). The labeling says "designed specifically for preteens and teens" is because its fine to use with braces. Lots of kids (including my ten-year-old grand daughter) are getting braces well before they hit their teen years. Some electric brushes can damage braces because their brushing action is too violent. Sonicare works more by vibrating the plaque off than by actual brushing, so is fine for braces. I really think this little appliance is great, but be sure to use it the right way: Don't try to brush hard with it as if its a regular toothbrush; slowly pass it over your teeth (pausing at each area) and give it a chance to work. Its also very good for your gums. I think you'll like it.

No, it is not the kid's version of the product. However, my 12 year old uses the product. We love it!

I agree, a hard question! I gave one to my granddaughter when she began her first year of college and she is a very tall girl, but not "large". She loves it. I also gave one to a tall boy who is a senior in high school and he likes it. But I wouldn't call him a large adult. Both use it as a bed rest for reading in bed. I think it may not work as well for a large adult. You could try it out and return it if it seems "unfit." Amazon is very good about returns!

The one I purchased was for an adult...make sure you are ordering a child size.

I would say teen to adult? It's a full size kit, so I think it's a little big for littler people.

The drawers, and the vanity set itself, are child-sized, MAYBE fit for a young teenager, but don't expect to store anything bigger than makeup and some hair accessories in the drawers. Further, please consider my review on this item; I want you to know what you're getting into. This product is not a good choice for anyone.

I too used it on my niece who was 10 and she was able to make the bracelets. I would say it would depend on the 13 year old. My other niece who was 13, was completely uninterested in this. Granted she is going through her teenage transition and is all about "coolness" and this didnt rank for her.

I bought this device for my 4 years old son and it worked great, however I don't think it would work for adults or older kids.

It's built more for a teenager. I'd have to say the average teen between 11-16 would be perfect. It's built big so a small to average adult could probably wear it too. Our son was 9 when he got it and it almost swallowed him up. He'll definitely be wearing it for years it it doesn't tear up. A 4 year old is way too small for this.

Where did you get the info that it's recommended for children anywhere? And unless these children live in the boonies with no internet, tv, radio they know about drugs. Nobody says you need to buy this for a child. There are millions of other items to buy a kid. Just you asking this question is questionable!

I don't think so could be used by adults, it loot to me more like for kids and young adults as teen ages by not for adults.................but I can be wrong, I bought for my grandson of 9 years.

No this is not all ideal for a young adult. The bow length and tension are suited to a much younger boy. It's best to go to a sports/outfitter center and consult with an archery department type person who can help you to determine what would work best from the adult section.

I want to say it's more for adults, because I'm now entering college, but the strap that it comes with is adjustable so it could fit younger kids as well. So it could work for both, but it's more suited for adults. Hope this answers your question.

The colors are geared more for kids or students -also the kind of "furry" material it is made out of is geared more for kids/students but size wise it could be used for an adult. If you are looking for a bedrest pillow for an adult I do not think I would go for this in such bright colors or the material - they have so many other ones to choose from on Amazon for adults. Also look at the size if you are looking for one for an adult as they do have them in kid's sizes which are much smaller than an adult size. Hope this helps.

I just purchased this for my 14 year old, but an adult could use it as well.
