ILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER TOOTHBRUSH.

I found one of these at a garage sale for 50 cents and figured I'd give it a try. We had just bought an expensive spin brush and it was horrible. This, however, was SOO much better and cost a tenth of the price. My wife took the one I got from the garage sale so I ordered this one and it works great. Very handy attachments. I saw the other review for this and it said "stopped working after a month"..... well it is a very high powered tooth brush and after brushing my teeth 3 times a day for 3 minutes each time I have to change my BATTERIES every month. These things last a long time so don't let negative comments scare you away!

I have used this toothbrush for ever I bought many of them and given them for gifts. I Just love it; I Only needed the Handle because the switch had worn out. I was glad that I only had to replace the handle.  saved me some money, and it  works great.

The motor on this toothbrush is week compared to the other brands Ive used. I bought 2 of these thinking they'd be great but now I'm stuck with an extra one. I'll probably take that one and keep in my desk at work (I like to brush my teeth after lunch lol. I'm crazy, I know).

I wouldn't purchase another Oral B toothbrush if you paid me. Twice we've bought them because of the battery dying after two years. Never again.

My family has owned Sonicare toothbrushes for probably 10 years now. This one does all that you need. It has the quad spacer..times for 2 mins. No need to buy the more expensive model. They do not clean any better..its just a way to make you think your getting a newer more up to date version. Don't be fooled.

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.

My gums are never sensitive with this mouthwash.

This is the best purchase I've ever made. You still have to floss with regular dental floss, but, nothing can get the yukky stuff like Waterpik. My gums have never felt so good.

This is the greatest. You can feel the difference in the cleanliness of you teeth vs a regular brush, especially if you follow the instructions on how to use it vs using a manual brush. I can tell when I have my teeth cleaned how much less work the hygienist has to do since I started using a Sonicare years ago.

The first one I owned (the Elite version, I believe) lasted about 4 or 5 years until it would not take a charge anymore. I got a new version, and that was great, but it developed a problem with the motor or something. Philips replaced it, no questions asked, and the replacement unit has been great.

I've been a fan of electric toothbrushes for many years.  Initially, I liked them because I was lazy and didn't brush often enough much less correctly.  I used an Interplak for many years and it was okay.  Maybe 4 or 5 years ago I became aware of the Oral-B brand and that they claimed to effectively "floss" as well.  I never got the hang of flossing and some of my teeth were too close together to get that stupid little cord in between them.  My lack of brushing and flossing and regular dental cleanings had me worried that something bad was going to happen because of my poor dental hygene.

If you read much, you see where poor dental health is thought to be related to a number of illnesses.  I don't remember the list, but as I get older I know that I don't want any more illnesses.  So, I purchased an Oral-B several years ago.  I liked it very much.  Whether or not it actually did anything, it felt stimulating to have it roam around in my mouth.  As I used it and used it more often and started going to the dentist regularly, I clearly was having less problems, especially bleeding gums.  I purchased one for my wife and she liked it as well.

But, my wife sometimes "overdoes" things.  On one trip to the dentist, they told her that she was brushing "too hard" and was wearing the enamel off her teeth.  So, she became more aware of this and was more careful.  We loved our original Oral-B's and had them for many years until this model was a "Gold Box" deal.  I could only buy one and I did so and gave it to my wife because it has a "brushing too hard" alert.  It's smaller than our original Oral-B's and has a smaller vanity "footprint" if you leave off the plastic "saddlebag" that comes with it and it's lighter.  We've never been too much into sharing toothbrushes so I never used her "new" one.

Repeadedly, she told me how much she liked it and how I should get one for myself.  This wasn't quite so easy to do since this deal combined a Gold Box buy with a factory rebate (one per address).  After some time searching, I found a pretty good deal on this model elsewhere and ordered.  I do like it.  It has some extra functions that I haven't used yet.  My biggest complaint with this and my prior Oral-B is that it's sometimes hard to feel the On/Off button.  So, while you're trying to turn it off, it's shaking water and toothpaste all over your face and vanity.  But, my dental visits continue to improve and I have gone from a "4 per year" cleaning cycle to a "2 per year" cleaning cycle even though I still refuse to floss.  Another nice thing about these Oral-B's is that they hold a charge for quite a while so you can take it on a trip without having to carry the base charging unit.

All in all, a cheap investment in your dental and physical health.  I'm not sure exactly what the next higher models do.  Maybe they connect to the internet or play music while your brushing.

This is an extraordinary electric toothbrush.  Lighter, yet more powerful, than other Oral B models it provides remarkable cleaning power.  Charge lasts for several weeks and toothbrush heads are easily replaceable.  I am a big fan.

I ordered this item on amazon, and it came super quick even with free shipping option.
When i got the toothbrush, it was amazing.
My teeth have never felt so polished and clean. Actually my whole mouth has never felt so clean.  I will never use any other product but sonicare.  every 30 seconds it tells you when to switch areas of brushing, and automatically shuts off at 2 minutes for the recommended dentist "2 minute brushing".
(over brushing will wear away the enamel)
And a bonus, it whitens your teeth by removing years of stains!
If your serious about dental hygene, this is the product for you.

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel compelled to on this one because it has changed my life.  Yes this product has held up well for a year of daily use, nothing has broke, it always has worked, etc, etc.  It has not changed my life because of plaque removal (It does a good job though).

It has changed my life by removing 100% of my bad breath problems.  And they were serious problems!  It gets old when your spouse asks you on a daily basis where you are hiding the poop sandwiches.  Trust me, I have tried everything through the years- every mouthwash, tongue scraper, oral antibiotics, antibiotic mouthwash, I could go on.

Anyway, use the attachment that looks like a spoon (its a tongue scraper that shoots water).  Fill your tank with water then ADD 2-3 caps of mouthwash.  Turn it on 10 and scrape all the &*#! off your tongue.  You must face down and breath deep or else you will constantly gag, but you must clean as far back as possible.  This will leave your tongue surface clean and a red color rather than gray or white.  You may need more than one tankful on your first attempt to get all the junk off.  Once you got a good deep cleaning only 1/2 a tank is needed daily.

My spouse can not believe it.  She says if that thing every breaks one will be on order the same day.  So no more poop sandwiches for me.  If you are even on the fence just try this thing.  It could change your life!

I love my new toothbrush. My husband is in love with Oral B so I threw out the manual toothbrush and got on the bandwagon. My teeth are sensitive so it's taken time to get used to but every time I brush I feel like I just walked out of the dentist.

This is such a good toothbrush, worth the price and as good as any of the higher end models.
