How often do you need to change the heads? ... who need to have a toothbrush each but can obviously share the charger?

Thats funny because they tell you the handle is dishwasher safe. Page 12 on the manual "The Sonicare handle is dishwasher safe. Remove the brush head and charger before placing the handle only in the top rack of the dishwasher"

Not necessary. You can clean it using the Sonic Vibrating Cleaning Mode, which takes just a minute to clean it. I use the cleaner liquid alternatively and it charges as well as cleans at the same time. You can also leave the shaver in the charger as it doesn't over charge.

I am not sure where you live AG, but I was able to buy a new toothbrush (I threw out the old one I had after I bought the replacement 2 pack) from my local Walgreen.The toothbrush I bought is the exact same one I had, so fit with the new replacement head is NOT a problem.By the way the new toothbrush does come with the head already, (and a battery).I believe the cost was either 9.99 or 8.99.Good luck.

No the head can't be replaced. It's all 1 piece. You can replace the battery. It takes 1 AAA battery. Phillips Sonicare makes electric toothbrush for children that you can replace the heads. It comes w/2 different size heads too.

I bought the whole package when I bought mine. But after a while I put the santizer piece in the cabinet and just use the travel charger. I never had a sanitizer for my regular toothbrush. I think it is a way for them to make more money off of the consumer, my opinion. I purchased one for my son for Christmas and just got the tooth brush with the portable charger (comes with it) for $89 minus twenty percent coupon and they are offering a rebate right now. Bed Bath and Beyond have all you need. About the Diamondclean, you can purchase the diamondclean heads and they fit on the flexcare plus. The diamondhead is just a stiffer bristle brush and I like it a lot. I will continue to buy the diamond clean replacement brushes as I like a stiffer bristle brush! Hope this has helped! SLA

The heads were not meant to be popped off and replaced in the Eseries. Doing so could cause problems. Some have been successful at it initially, but over time, problems develop and they find they can't use that method any more. Where they pop off the head into the magnetic part of the brush head, weakens, and the brush pops off while it's being used in the mouth. I personally wouldn't want that to happen to me. When people use products as they were not intended to be used, maybe it will be fine, but I don't want to take that kind of risk. Environmentally, you can recycle the brush head complete with the magnet attachment. Philips does make brushes that work as you describe. Just the head, goes into the base. Those toothbrushes do not last as long. I have had my Eseries for seven years and it is still going strong. The vibration is stronger than the other model I tried. It does a better job. It's worth paying more for Sonic brand brush heads that are meant to be on the toothbrush you use. Your entire unit lasts longer. It's stronger. The brand brush heads outperform the generics by up to double the time.

It has been my experience that the battery lasts about 5 days with one person using it. If you are on a trip for a week, you can leave the charger at home. If longer, you need the charger.If your asking how long will the battery last before it has to be replaced, it can't. I had my old Sonicare for 10 years and the battery was still working.

The battery CANNOT be changed. They recommend that you remove the old battery to re-cycle it, but you will have to buy a new unit. When you remove the battery, it destroys the toothbrush.

Hi. I've bought replacement heads at dazzlepro.com. They send me e-mails and run lots of sales. I'm really pleased with my electric toothbrush. Hope you enjoy yours.

I have had a set for 2 years without needing to replace batteries. I do leave the handsets on the chargers most of the time. I looked at headsets at a store and they seemed awkward so I didn't order one.

There is actually a built-in 3 volt battery located in the handle of the toothbrush. You do not replace the battery. There is a "tester" button on the handle to check your battery charge. It will last minimum of about two years. Once there is no light/charge, then you just replace the toothbrush.

The only reason i stop using it is when the battery dies (i only charge it once a week or so, not all the time.) When this happens, i often switch to my manual backup toothbrush for a few days until i actually remember to charge it and start using it again.

I suppose it gets as dirty as you let it. I rinse the brush head after every use, and also run water over the power unit, and dry it. Every couple of weeks I soak the brush heads in hydrogen peroxide, something that should be done with every toothbrush. The power unit is waterproof. I have washed it twice a day for about six years and it works fine, so that's not a problem. But, that means the batteries are sealed; you cannot replace them. Expect to buy another unit at some point. We like them so much I will not hesitate.) I hope this answers your question.

I'd say 3 - 6 months. But I don't use the Philips brush heads anymore. I found much, much cheaper replacement heads that aren't quite as stiff as the Philips brush heads, but still do the job and last just as long. You can find them at this link:Generic Oral B - Braun Compatible Toothbrush Replacement Heads - 8 Heads

And to the person who says the powered toothbrush doesn't fit.,..who the heck has a toothbrush holder that wide. And doesn't it have to go into a charger ? At least mine does.
