What Others Say

cannot live without Sonicare
My teeth feel really clean when I use Sonicare. The problem lies with the hassle associated with trying to recycle the base unit.



Not sure it's working well
I bought this toothbrush on the recommendation of my dentist. I've been using it for almost 5 months now, and I have to say, I'm not sure it's working as well as it should be. I seem to be getting more plaque, and in spots I didn't get plaque before. Plus, I can feel that my teeth aren't as "clean" and smooth as they should be in the back. I've started using a regular toothbrush on them afterwards, which solves the problem, but I thought the Sonicare was supposed to be a super cleaner. Also, I agree with other reviewers about the brush heads. Mine looks very worn at this point--in fact, it began looking that way after just a couple of months. I bought one for my kid as well, and his teeth are also showing more plaque (and the brush head ... Read More



Great Product
Really helps to keep my teeth clean, and the travel case makes it easy to travel with.



Works great!
My old Sonicare finally bit the bullet after 10 years of use. I tried going back to a brush for a couple of weeks, but they are so lame. I read the reviews on all of the Sonicare models and decided to go with this less expensive model. It works just great. Don't waste your cash on the higher end ones. This one is all you need. Great value for the money.



don't need extra features of higher models
I had never used a power toothbrush before so I could only go by others' recommendations to pick one out. My dentist warned me of my receding gum line and recommended Sonicare to be gentler on my gums and to help slow down any more loss of gum tissue. I debated for awhile about getting one of the higher up models, but then cost won out, and I got this one.

Actually, I don't think you really need the extra features of the higher models. I thought the quad timer would be nice, but that's based on brushing your teeth 4 sections at a time. Actually, the 4 they recommend is awkward, I would prefer 6, so I'm glad I didn't pay for that option.

And I thought getting more ergonomic might be better, but I have no problems with ... Read More
