I would have given it five stars if it had lasted longer. I highly recommend this toothbrush.

This is the most amazing electric toothbrush that I have ever owned!!!  I don't have dental insurance so my at-home care is very important to me.  The waterpik flosser does a wonderful job and the toothbrush itself cleans my teeth better than any one that I have ever used.  It has a timer on it so that I know how long I've been on each section of my mouth.  I don't have to watch the clock.  My teeth have never looked or felt better!

9/21/2016 UPDATE:  The toothbrush is not holding a full charge anymore and there are no replacement batteries.  I called Waterpik and they were so incredibly nice and helpful.  A brand new full unit is on its way to me.  I didn't even have to produce my Amazon.com invoice.  They just needed the serial number and model number.  I can't say enough good about this company or this very excellent product.

I used the Oral-B 3000 this morning for the first time. I may like it a lot but the toothbrush will not turn off after 2 min (like the Sonicare but this is not a dealbreaker).

Update: I saw my dental hygienist today. She stated that my gums are looking much better. I think the Oral-B 3000 is a keeper!

This is a REPLACEMENT for the initial Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush which lasted exactly the life of the warranty--2 years to the day.  It is THE BEST toothbrush I have ever owned.  My dental checkups are remarkably better since I began using the FlexCare.  The dual voltage travel charger was a major factor in making the initial purchase.  It is the best travel aid that I have purchased in years.  Others that I have encouraged to purchase the FlexCare are also sold on this toothbrush.  Nice design, versatile, great gift.

I got this toothbrush on the advice of a friend who was studying in Dental School at the time. I was reluctant to try electric toothbrushes because I thought they were for lazy people. I had broken my right thumb at a ball game, several years ago, and while my hand was in a cast, I used one of the cheaper AAA battery powered, rotating brush. That experience was a disappointment so I went back to my regular brush when the cast was gone. But Sonicare is truly is a fantastic cleaning machine and leaves the mouth feeling almost as clean as after a dental visit. I have now owned and used it for over two years. Still runs beautifully although battery life may have gone down a bit. I've read reviews that suggest that this may be the best toothbrush out there (Although if you are buying now, check out the newer Flexcare+ model, which has a better carrying case) I prefer the slim design of the Flexcare than the fatter models from both Philipps and Oral-B. Also I read a review that said the Elite model's refills can have stuff growing inside them unless you clean it regularly. A lesser problem on this brush. I like both the 1-minute and 3-minute modes on this, but both I and my hygienist wish they had a 2-minute option. The only drawback I see in Sonic toothbrushes is that they are a bit loud in the mouth, and some days when I am half asleep or it is late night, I don't want so much ruckus in my mouth, and I choose the regular brush. Vibration causes noise and your ears are right there. Philips can't fight Physics, so don't hold it against them. While traveling, this is a much heavier toothbrush to carry, so on some trips I take the regular brush. However, if the trip is longer than seven days, I immediately notice the drop in dental hygiene. This has become a necessity. I highly recommend it.

There are two things I really hate doing. One is going to the dentist. The other is cleaning my oven. Fortunately, I can get my husband to clean my oven, but I can't get him to go to the dentist for me. I've never liked going, and in fact, have been known to avoid it for 7 years at a stretch.
Since we purchased this toothbrush, I've had the opportunity to use the PL-1 (thanks to the removeable brush heads, using a friend's toothbrush is no longer an issue). The pauses in vibration over the course of two minutes that the PL-4 gives is a great boon for me. I like it better than the simple shutoff of the PL-1 after two minutes. When I use the PL-1, I tend to rush through my brushing and find that I'm done before the toothbrush is. When I use the PL-4, I'm much better at completely brushing each section of my mouth and I find that I'm much more likely to continue brushing even after the unit has turned off just in case I feel I've missed a spot or two. I don't do that with the PL-1 model.
Getting used to a vibrating toothbrush was...interesting. For me, it tickled a bit. To be honest, it was rather startling at first to feel vibrations througout my mouth, on my gums especially, and a little into my sinuses because they're so near everything else in my head. Not painful, but very different. I suspect that people with tender mouths will really want to follow the directions they give you with the toothbrush to be sure they don't discourage themselves from using it again.
My teeth have always been reasonably healthy, but my gums have always been an issue for me. And going to the dentist in the past only created serious problems in that regard. That is, cleanings were excrutiating. I didn't want to go and I avoided it as often as possible. After two years of using this toothbrush, my teeth remain healthy with no losses or fillings, my gums have actually improved their health, cleanings are annoying but no longer unbearable, and my dentist thanks me. I've seen my xrays and they've shown improvement in bone health too. And while I don't fully understand how it's possible, I find it fascinating that simply changing a toothbrush can make this much difference.
My husband pushed us into buying this rather expensive "toy." At just under 100$US at the time we bought it, even the 20% off coupon we had didn't make me all that happy. I thought I'd regret paying that much money for something my dentist would give me for free, but having used the Sonicare PL-4 and seen the results for both of us, I can firmly say to friends and family that your dentist, your teeth, and your gums will thank you for spending this kind of money.

I have owned and used the Oral B Sonic Complete model S-200 for nearly three years. I should note that a lot of this review is probably applicable to the S-320 model as well.

When I first started using the toothbrush, it took a while to get used to the sonic vibrations in my mouth. It was a very unusual sensation--almost tickled--and made me laugh, but I soon got used to it after about a week. Interestingly, when my girlfriend first started using it she had the same experience, couldn't stop laughing.

I noticed immediately that my teeth felt much cleaner, very smooth. It was effortless to clean my teeth since the toothbrush did all the real work. One thing I noticed that was not advertised was that in addition to the 2-minute timer (three long pauses), the brush also indicates 30-second intervals (one short pause), which I found very helpful for timing even brushing around all my teeth.

I purchased replacement heads at regular intervals, and would recommend the soft heads. After about two years of using the brush, I noticed some small areas at the base of a few teeth that became VERY sensitive to the slightest pressure. My dentist informed me that this was due to gum recession (when the gums are pushed back from the tooth, exposing the more delicate and HIGHLY sensitive roots of the tooth) caused by vigorous brushing. I didn't think I was brushing vigorously at all, but I had been using the regular "clean" setting. After hearing that this discomfort was due to brushing I  started using the "soft" setting and things returned to normal, and this lower setting still effectively cleaned my teeth.

Unfortunately, in the last few weeks the toothbrush would occasionally not turn on, and eventually started to spontaneously/randomly turn on for brief moments. Apparently this was its death cry. I'm not sure whether leaving the toothbrush on the charger all the time would over time lead to diminished battery life, but would recommend against storing it on the charger.

Overall, I really liked the sonic complete toothbrush, would buy it again, and highly recommend everyone use a sonic toothbrush.

Pros:
- superior teeth cleaning
- 2-minute and 30-second timers
- does not automatically turn off after two minutes like some other electronic toothbrushes
- long-lasting charge (took it on several two-week vacations and it still had more charge left when I returned home)
- storage for three additional heads in charging station*
- toothbrush head holder in charging station can be pulled out easily for routine cleaning*
- drainage holes in the bottom of each toothbrush head slot (no nasty buildup) and good ventilation allows heads to dry (no mildew/mold)*
- wall-mountable charging station*
- non-slip rubber bottom on charging station
- solid construction, heads stay on

Cons:
- no replacement battery (dead battery = bulky manual toothbrush)
- no carrying case (apparently the S-320 model does)
- very long & bulky (it was hard to fit into my toiletries travel case)
- no PDF/digital owner's manual (OK, so this might be nit-picking, but keeping the printed manuals for every electronics gadget is a pain!)

*It appears that the S-200 model no longer comes with the larger charging station with head storage, but the S-320 model does.

I am really pleased with my Oral-B Professional Care toothbrush kit.  The first time I used it, my mouth and teeth felt a new level of cleanliness.  I was so happy with this product that I purchased one for my parents as well.

A charge lasts approximately two weeks when used for cleaning teeth in the morning as well as at night.  You will need to buy replacement heads about every four months.

This product vibrates the head every 30 seconds to keep you on pace with cleaning your teeth.  It sends a different vibration at the 2-minute mark to let you know you are finished cleaning.

I have been a Sonicare user for many years. This Oral-B is a very good sonic toothbrush and cleans my teeth just as well as Sonicare.

Some of the features that I really like are as follows:

- compatible with any Oral-B brush head and there are so many (affordable!) options to choose from. Too many of times have I purchased the wrong version head for my Sonicare.

- Brushing app: I don't care for Bluetooth technology in general. I carry my phone around too much as it is and the last place it needs to be is in the bathroom. You gotta weigh your own pros and cons on this one. However, my teenager who needs to focus on better brushing thinks it is very cool. Whatever works :/

- pressure sensor: I have been scolded by my hygientist for brushing too hard. This is a much appreciated feature and makes the app worth using.

- super long charge

- nice travel case

In response they sent replacement toothbrush heads to me a couple weeks after I posted my video of defective brush head.  The customer service has been stellar. With the incredible customer service has gone above and beyond any other customer service I have dealt with in awhile. I was disappointed with the original product but have had no issues with the new heads sent to me. I will update again if I have issues or other positive feedback.  Props to Sonimart for the care they show to their product and their reputation. I'm impressed and will now consider ordering from them again.

** Updated with video of how horrible this product is.  You can hear the noise, and see that the brush doesn't flick water off the brush head. An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) brush is dry as soon as you take it out from under the water.

Positive part...
Yes these brush heads fit my electric toothbrush handle as answered in the questions. I have been using the new brush head for about two weeks and at first I was very happy with the product; fit nicely, no loss of brush power (vibrations), no increased or excess noise.
I expected better from the overwhelmingly positive reviews.

And the issues begin and I regret not listening to negative reviews...
After week one I took off the brush head to rinse out the inside so that nothing would grow in there, toothpaste, spit and water work its way into the head and it needs to be cleaned regular.  I speak from previous experience. After I cleaned out the top, essentially a quick rinse, I found that the brush started to make a little noise when I used it. Did not bother me too much, I still had good power being delivered to the brush head.

Issue really presents itself...
Now after week two I have found that the brush head is crazy noisy. I held the brush away from my head, at arms length to check to see if it was a proximity thing, pretty much a nope. So loud that the girlfriend stopped talking to me. It reminded me of a model airplane with a gas engine buzzing around. The excessive noise is not the only issue, the brush head has now started to lose some of its vibrating power. I have checked to make sure that the brush head is screwed onto the base tightly, no change.

Personal note...
I find the brush bristles to be a little on the soft side. I personally would like them to be about 20%-35% more stiff, which would be a little closer to the OEM brush in my opinion. I would even take a slightly more stiff brush head than the OEM but have been unable to find options like that in this product compared to old fashion manual brushes.

I have two children, and they've been using the previous model of this toothbrush,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Philips-Sonicare-HX6311-02-Sonicare-for-Kids-Rechargeable-Electric-Toothbrush/dp/B002CVTVUA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Philips Sonicare HX6311/02 Sonicare for Kids Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush</a>, for almost two years. We originally started with Sonicare for Kids at our dentist's recommendation, and since we made the switch, have had nothing but positive comments from our dental hygenists about how well the kids are brushing. Sonicare makes it easy.

Anyway, this new version of Sonicare for Kids is almost identical to the previous model. It's blue instead of red, and comes with eight new faceplates to let your child personalize, but it has the same physical body, uses the same charger and toothbrush heads, and - as far as I can tell - has the same motor inside as the previous model. It gives you the option of two different levels of vibration, and features a two-minute timed brushing cycle with beeps every 30 seconds to remind you to switch the brush to a new quadrant of your mouth. If your child has never used a sonic toothbrush before, I highly recommend starting at the lower level of vibration - it's very tickly till you get used to it - and using the training setting, which starts out with shorter brush cycles and gradually builds up to the full two minutes of brushing over a couple of weeks.

Though Sonicare hasn't made too many changes to their wonderful toothbrush, there are a couple of minor differences worth mentioning. First, the beeps that let you know when it's time to change where you're brushing play much, much more softly than on the old model, and that's a change that I love. On the negative side, while the former toothbrush came packaged with two different sized brush heads - one smaller sized for kids age 4-7, and one larger sized for kids age 7-10 - this new model came with only the larger sized head. That's probably okay if you have an older child, but if you have a younger one, I highly recommend trying out the smaller sized "Compact" head,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Philips-Sonicare-HX6032-94-2-Piece-Kids-Brush-Head-Compact/dp/B00G5L89JM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Philips Sonicare HX6032/94 2 Piece Kids Brush Head, Compact</a>. My 11 year old son has been using the larger brush heads for several years, but I greatly prefer the smaller heads for my 7 year old, because they fit in her little mouth so much better.

I purchased the Intelisonic Toothbrush from my dentist two years ago and felt it was good product.  Unfortunately, the recharging system died on the toothbrush after only two years, my toothbrush will not recharge.  I recent purchased the Philips Sonic Care Pro for a few more dollars than the cost of the Intelsonic and I think it is a much better product.  The action on the toothbrush is strong and the heads last twice as long as the Intelsonic toothbrush heads which I replaced at the recommended 6 months.  I can already tell the motor on the Philips is better, recharges quickly and last longer without recharging.  I often go on weekend trips without using the portal;e charger that comes with my Philips.  The set I bought for only a few dollars more also has the ultraviolet sanitizer that the intelsonic, but I got two toothbrushes instead of one.  I now use one for travel ( and I travel often) and one that never leaves home.  If anyone has the same issue with battery life of the Intelsonic or a way the battery can be replaced, I would like to know, but overall, I was disappointed with the longevity of the product.

This toothbrush is the best. My hygienist recommended it s the best and she was right! I've been using it for couple of years and I'm still happy. Perfect amount of power and the built in timer helps to keep me brushing for the full two minutes. My kids and wife also like this model. My only complaint is that the replacement heads are expensive.

I've used a Braun oral B for about 25 years. I've liked them all but this is the best by far.

2 of 2 units have failed.  One failed to rotate the brush after 1 year.  The other failed within 1 month after switch no longer powered the unit on.  Charge lasts for only about two brushings.  Charger continually draws power.  The size of brush allows for optimal cleaning in hard and easy to reach places.  Head rotation is much faster than hand manual brushing, but slower than other electric toothbrush equivalent makes.  Cleans well.  2 year warranty.  Replacement cost under warranty is $3 per unit plus shipping costs to mail defective units to them.  1/2 hour phone wait to get replacement address and service number for warranty replacement.  Bad customer support -- they try to find any excuse not to give you a service number for warranty replacement.

I have owned several Sonicare toothbrushes but have been disappointed that the rechargable NiCad batteries wear out so quickly, then I had to throw the whole thing away.  While looking for a new Sonicare for my 8-year-old I came across the e3000.  He has been using it twice a day for over a year now and no problem.  I had read of several problems with the toothbrush dying within months because of water getting in the battery compartment.  Someone suggested putting vaseline around the o-ring, which I did and it seemed to fix the seal.  My son is not careful with getting water on his toothbrush and I often find it sitting in a little pool of water on the sink.  Still, no problem.
We also use rechargable NiMh batteries and they work fine.
This brush is a little less powerful than the rechargable Sonicares, which is probably good for kids.  But when my current one dies, I definately plan on an e3000, unless Sonicare switches to NiMh batteries instead of NiCads.  I am currently buying a new one for my daughter, who is now old enough to use one.

I have had a Sonicare for many years, and it was the rechargeable type.  It lasted a total of 8 years, but I hear the newer ones only last about 3 years, so I chose THIS battery operated brush, and have had it for 3 months now.  I read ALL the reviews herein, and was wondering why so many reviewers complained about the base not being water resistant.  I have been brushing MY teeth for over 60 years now, and do NOT brush them underwater.  I have no clue why someone would want to brush either underwater, OR in the shower.

When this brush is used as a toothbrush, then there is no reason why it should get water in the handle.  The battery compartment is located at the opposite end of the brushes, and if used normally, rinsed off, then dried with your towel, there is no way water can get into the compartment.

I LOVE my brush..it stops automatically AFTER 2 minutes of brushing, and IF you use it for two minutes each time, your teeth will really be clean.  My dentist tells me that my gums and teeth appear more healthy than many others they have seen, and I owe it all to my sonicare brush.  BTW, I only brush ONCE per day in the morning AFTER breakfast, so if YOU use it more often than that, your mouth and gums will be healthier than MINE!!
