Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush
i bought this back in october… i loved it at first until the head shaft came loose under the seal-in december. according to instructions you should be able to tighten it back up-NOT THE CASE. i attempted to send back but got stuck with the headache of shipping and handling-it isnt cheap! i was so disgusted with this expensive piece of crud that i just said the heck w it and tossed it… SAVE YOUR MONEY-STICK TO TOOTHBRUSHES

I tried the Sonicare and was really surprised by how powerful it is….even in the the “sensitive” setting. This just seems like too much. Saving time brushing will usually mean you are brushing too hard, and likely cause gum recession and tooth abrasion. You need to brush softly, but for between 2-3 minutes, 2-3 times/day (as well as flossing, which nothing can replace). “No pain, no gain,” does NOT apply to toothbrushing. I certainly would not recommend this for your teeth. I think if they can tone it down 75%, it might actually be good. The gum “massager,” mode makes no sense. Proper tooth and gingival care has more to do with the prevention of accumulation of plaque, etc., and “massaging,” the gum is just a great marketing idea. I think the only people who really need to use an electric toothbrush are those with dexterity issues, etc., and they may benefit from the use of an electric toothbrush, but the trade off, e.g. recession, etc., may not be worth it. Also, you can’t really try to put less pressure on it, because then it will not clean that well. I can also tell you that you will spurt toothpaste all over unless you wait to turn it on when it is in your mouth…the vibration is just that harsh. If you accidently hit your tooth with it, and you will, you will feel like there is a jackhammer in your mouth! I know there are a lot of people out there who are huge fans of these….I am not one of them. If you are still considering this item…..You only get one head, so if you want to share this (if you are a fan) you will have to spend more on another head. It does come with different colored rings so you can identify different brushes, but those rings slip around, perhaps because of the harsh vibration (I pressed pretty hard to put the two pieces together). The actual quality is very good, and it feels sturdy and not cheaply made. I just cannot recommend something that makes my teeth hurt after using it, no matter how it feels, or how cool it looks (and it does look pretty cool and hi-tech). For about two-three percent of the cost of the Sonicare (and no operating cost) you can have a superior instrument to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

I’ve used an electric toothbrush for years. A Rotodent that I got from my dentist. The Sonicare is much better – and is also the toothbrush that my dentist now carries and recommends.
The features are great. They make compact and standard brush heads and there are three different cleaning modes: Clean, Sensitive (that’s the one I use most) and Massage. There’s also a timer to make sure you’re brushing long enough – which is a great idea for kids!
The charge on the battery lasts for weeks and it even comes with a travel case. There are colored band so family members can have their own brushes.
I have found this brush to be much more effective then the Rotodent. They both have been good for my gums but the Rotodent did not clean my teeth very well so I always needed to use a regular toothbrush in addition. The Sonicare REALLY cleans your teeth. They will be whiter, cleaner and your dentist will approve – a winner all around!

Having been a longtime Oral B user the claims that were made about this brush were enough to make a Vine request.
This is an excellent though noisy system. Though working at sonic frequencies it does not celan any better than its slow predecessor, while being very noisy.
In addition, this system came we just one single brush, thus requiring an extra purchase to make it a multi-person tool.

I am ok with it as my 6-year old electric toothbrush (Sonicare too) finally gave up on me. I thought the one I just got would be 6 year technologically more advanced: great size indeed, the battery is a good as the old one: excellent duration: over 3 weeks between charges. When I insert the brush head, it doesn’t go all the way to the bottom, a little gap stays in between it and the brush itself. I hope that’s a glitch of the brush head and not of the body, otherwise, this will be a lemon.
