I'm trying to find model # HX9140. Has it been taken off market and if so is this one as good. I want one that whittens teeth. A friend likes.

I have the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum electric toothbrush and I am very pleased with it, but I am more interested in gum care. There is a mode to brighten and polish your front teeth and remove surface stains, but I usually use the clean and gum mode setting. The white mode will probably be as good as any other product on the market.

this model will whiten and help gums. i think you will get more for your money with this product.

I was planning on grabbing one of these too but figured I'd wait till black friday in case of a deal and then suddenly they went on back order/1-2 mo delivery and the price shot up. I guess I should have got it before, now I'll just have to wait. Most places seem to suddenly also be out of stock of this, is this just really popular or is it being discontinued?

What do you man by model? I will say this is good for kids and adults, it has three different little sticks, one is for the tongue, the other one is a pressure that works really good for braces when they cant floss ,good or for kids that dont like flossing, a dentist recommended me this and this is a great product, no need for batteries this one you just connect it on the wall. Trust me i give this a 10 +++ , what i liked was that when this stop working i called the main company and they sent me a new one and it is still working till today, great customer service, just save your receipt if you buy one!!! for kids i add warm water and less than half cup of scope!

Model number on bottom of toothbrush is HX6930. I don't know if it is Platinum Series 8 or not. I have really liked the toothbrush-multiple settings and times makes it easy to find what works for you.

Can you tell me if these are the right heads for this brush? Oral-B 3d White Power Toothbrush, 1 Count I bought mine in July, but never got a tool, or replacement heads, so I just wanted to be sure before I ordered. Thanks!

Hi, I am also trying to research Panasonic shavers as an Xmas gift for my husband. I haven't researched the 8109 but I did research the 8243. You probably already know this but there's 8243A & 8243K. A=black model K=blue & silver model You can't replace the batteries in the 8243 unit because it's built in (I had read someone's feed back on it so I called Panasonic to verify). To change the battery, you have to send it to their one and only certified technicians at Appliance Sales & Service in San Francisco. (415-362-7195). I called and it's approx. $50 for the battery & labor according to the person I talked to. I'm assuming that it doesn't include shipping costs. The batteries are also built in on the 8249, LA63S & LA93K and would have to be sent to San Francisco too, according to the panasonic person. According to the Panasonic person, 8243, 8249, LA63S & LA93K are all made in Japan. I couldn't pin her down if any of them were made in China. As far as she could tell they're made in Japan. She referenced the year 2008 and couldn't tell me anything about 2009. (I had thought that someone had said something about having one made in China but I'm researched out at this point so it could have been for another brand of shaver). The only difference I could find between 8243 and 8249 was that the 8249 has the vortex hydra clean system. I still haven't figured out yet whether the hydra system is a good thing or not. 8249S = silver 8249K = black This is unrelated but I thought I'd mention that the expensive ESLA63S & ESLA93K don't have a quick 5 minute charge. There must be something I'm missing because what happens if it dies during a shave. It doesn't make sense to me that something that expensive would have less features than the 8243 & 8249 models The ESLA63S & ESLA93K have 2 motors which does make it louder according to the panasonic person but is suppose to give a better and quicker shave.

The same thing happened to me. I believe there's a battery that requires replacing. Me, I just got annoyed, literally threw it away and have been happily brushing my teeth the old fashioned way for the first time in decades. I find it comforting doing this without a fancy gadget. But hey, Im the same person who misses rotary phones and vinyl.

Hi, Horsehappy, I know for sure that the tips I got from them will only fit the new model. I know the old brushes still exist; not everyone has the new model. I don't know where you are, but my dentist in Studio City CA has a bunch of the brush tips for the old Rotadent. Also, if you can , why don't you ask the company I bought the new brushes from if they have a supply of the one for the old model. P.S. I don't know what I'd do without my Rotadent. I've been using them for a lot of years. My dentist office phone number is 818 763-1444. Good luck.

It's been discontinued and all the information I've tried to find is murky. I would maybe not trust this seller, but you could try calling them or something. You can still occasionally find it on eBay, but the company says they have no plans to bring it back. I berated them and it did absolutely no good. It was a great product.

I agree with Brian; Scotty reviewed the PRO model, the largest one in the line-up. The ones that are spring-loaded (i.e., that have a spring behind the jaws) also come with a small cover to keep the jaws closed when not in use. Interestingly enough, the Vampliers versions of this tool are the same as the Engineer versions, except that the Engineer models don't have the jaw cover included. That may partially explain the difference in price. I've noticed in the photos that the Vampliers versions even have the word "Engineer" on their grips, which are red for Vampliers, green for Engineer. I have both the mid-sized Engineer PZ-58 and the Vampliers PRO (the largest), so I can confirm that. I agree with Brian; Scotty reviewed the PRO model, the largest one in the line-up.

Wow...tough question. i am scott, account in my wife's name. was able to get this at a great price as the three d versions are everywhere and i wanted the cleaning base. go to the Phillips site and you can view all the models. Costco has a great price on a 3d model with no cleaner also. My face is more round than angular and i also read the 2d is better for my kind of face. Plus i can always replace the razor head with a 3d after a year. I was a wet shaver and used an old school saftey razor. That said, i couldnt be happier. sorry for the delayed response. scott

I take the discontinuing of this model as a BIG warning sign. Why would they ever want to discontinue something that was selling and had positive reviews?? Let's hope none of the current ones have any issues with spontaneous combustion or the like! Of course I'm just kidding, but I still don't understand why they would discontinue it while it's successor is still so many months out.

Skeeter, First let me begin saying that I am no expert on and do not own a Sonic FX toothbrush. The toothbrush I and members of my family own is the Braun Oral b Vitality Sonic toothbrush. The replacement toothbrush heads listed here are replacement heads for that specific toothbrush. I did web searches for what appears to be your toothbrush, the Sonic FX. It does not appear to be manufactured or a product of Braun Oral b, and for this reason I doubt that this toothbrush head you are inquiring about will fit or work with the Sonic FX. Perhaps a web search for something worded such as "replacement heads for Sonic FX electric toothbrush" will provide some leads, but I would avoid search results that direct you to Braun Oral b Sonic replacement heads and any result directing you to Braun or Oral b. I would look at search results that appear to link specifically to Sonic FX replacement heads only. My apologies for being unable to be of more help, but I, personally, would not order this product if I needed replacement heads for a Sonic FX. Best of luck to you and I hope that you are able to find a reliable answer to your question.

I am pretty sure they stopped making the older models. I couldn't find the older ones anyway. This one does have more power and is a very good knife. I think it is expensive but still a great knife.

Hi there! The model number for this is:HX6962/70. It is the Sonicare "Flexcare" and it has the "Diamond Clean" brush head which is what my oral surgeon specifically recommended to me. I hope this answers your question, but if not, please let me know and I will see if I can be of more assistance. &#9786;

I had the same problem. Bought 2 Vitality toothbrushes from 2 different Target stores and had the same problem. I am about ready to take back the second and try a Sonicare. According to the Braun U.K. Forums, the battery/charging unit is a real problem. Supposedly, if the toothbrush is left in the on position it won't charge. Problem is there is no on/off indicator. Horrible design decision.

I just called their 1-800 number and they stated, nope. I really want to be sarcastic now... I love the Oral-B, but they really ruined it by going single voltage. Insert&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; SHAKING FIST IN AIR!!!!
