Hi Hazel I just got some from amazon, they were on special offer for one day only, they are the professional ones, they have a 2.5 minute timer built in so you know when you have brushed long enough. My dentists have said the electric brushes are better.

There are 3 settings by pressing the on/off button, sonic massage and soothe. every 2 minutes the motor splutters so you know how long you have brushed your teeth. I gather now though the new models have a symbol of a grinning or frowning face to tell how long you brush teeth, not much good if you can't see it. Still wouldn't go back to a normal toothbrush. Hope this helps and look on Amazon which is where I got my one from.
