- Great product
- Lightweight, small, easy to use, recharges quickly, I like the "massage" feature, it feels quite different from the normal vibration. My teeth feel smooth and clean when I'm finished. I believe it is far superior to my previous rotating head toothbrush. I also like the fact that if you accidently hit the On/Off switch in the middle of a brushing sequence, when you press the switch again, it will continue from where you were in the brush cycle rather than restarting from the beginning of the cycle. Pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

- Good toothbrush. But not much better than my prev Elite
- I've owned a Philips Sonicare before this. I dont remember the model. But it was their top-of-the line brush about 4 yrs ago. It stopped working since the little green button got jammed. Both that model & this one have it sealed. So you cant fix it yourself, God forbid that happens. So go easy on that button.
As far as the brushing action is concerned, if you have NEVER used a sonic brush before, then yeah - its great. I've read some reviewers stating toothpaste flying about. You have to be a "leetle stoopid" not to figure around this, if you dont get it right the first time. Just apply the paste about on all your teeth till there's nothing sitting on the brush head. Then operate it.
Another comment was that the brush is a little loud. No its not. And I live in a quiet environment. Its not noiseless of course. Someone near you will hear it. Not the neighbours.
It has a massage mode that is quite nice. You still brush with the same bristles really. But the pulses are more controlled.
The 2 min brush cycle beeps every 30 secs or so to remind you to change position. Again, that's not a new feature over the old brush. Also, the most important point is IMO, the brushing action. I dont consider it to be superior to the prev Sonicare Elite. It did not feel that way at least.
It does have one advantage over the older model. No housing recess for the magnets. So there's no stinky gunk buildup in that chamber. You'll appreciate this if you owned the earlier models. Otherwise, disregard.
All in all, a good brush.
No I did not waste money on the sanitizer. Use Hydrogen Peroxide 3% from your friendly, or otherwise neighbourhood chemist. The sonic action with the peroxide should shake the hell off any bacteria in the bristles. Dont waste money on the sanitizer please. - 2008-07-16, 3 of 3 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- better than oral-b
- the vibration is better designed to get between teeth-to-gums and teeth-to-teeth. oral b is more like a sanding machine and makes me concerned about enamel wear.
the color of this item is more of a light pastel green and not blue as on many images. it does come with only 1 head -- kind of skimpy there -- which is the standard "pro" size. if it were the compact size i doubt it would wrap around several teeth properly as this one does.
a great thing is the deluxe charger. what this means is that there is a cap on it that allows you to stand up two brushes but if you remove the cap on the charger base, then it becomes travel compact, less than 2 inches wide! i really like that part of the design. - 2008-07-15, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Easy to use and Cleans Great!
- After several months with no problems and a great dental checkup I have to say that this is one of my personal favorite tooth brushes.Most importantly is the cleaning.This brush does an awesome job,aside from a cleaning at the dentist I haven't found better.
The size is smaller than other electric tooth brushes I have used which is a plus for me.It fits comfortably in hand and I haven't had any problems with accidently switching it off while in use as I have with other brands.
The brush head is a nice size and feels comfortable in my mouth.It is not small but not huge either.Plus the replacment heads are easy to find and a reasonable price which is very important over the long run.
I like being able to adjust the speed for when you need a more thorough cleaning and if you have sensitive teeth and gums you can always start at the lowest setting and work your way up to a faster speed at your pace,this would be very helpful if you are not accustomed to using electric tooth brushes.
I have found that the battery holds a charge well and so far is still doing so.Plus the low battery warning is nice so it dosen't run out in mid-brush.Aside from just trying them out I don't really use the programmed settings.It's not that there is anything wrong with using them I just like brushing the way I always have.
The FlexCare is a bit pricey but other than that I have no complaints.I liked this brush so much I bought one for my 8 year old daughter who has had dental problems since she first got teeth and she has had no problems using it,and loves it as well. - 2008-07-13, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great product!
- I had an elite model but this is much better. First it has spots for multiple heads which allows more than one person to use the device. It does a great job of cleaning your teeth and has some nice options/features that improve upon the prior elite model.
