- Much improved design!
- Short and simple: This fantastic brush is just like the other Sonicares but without the screw-on design flaw of the other Sonicare models. The other models, which are still being sold everywhere, have this hideous design where the saliva and other brushing liquids seep down into the inner mechanisms of the brush which pool up in a really disgusting way. This new design eliminates all that slew of slime. This brushing action is fantastic just like the older one.

- A great improvement over the older models,
- Has many new features that the older Sonicare models didn't have. I am very happy with this purchase. Not only is it invaluable for teeth cleaning, but it and it predecessor Sonicares have made a tremendous difference in the healthiness of my gums.

- Great Product and Much Improved Design
- This is my second Sonicare product and I remain very impressed. I previously used the Elite for two years and my only annoyance was the design of the Elite brush head and handle. The Elite brush consisted of a screw-on dome that no matter how hard I tried to keep it dry and clean on the inside, it would always get dirty and gross and there was no way to clean it. Similarly on the Elite handle, a deep well that the magnet from the brush head would insert when brush and handle were joined would also collect dirt and was impossible to keep clean. This wasn't a health issue but it was just gross to look at when you disassembled the brush after each use. I found that if I didnt disassemble, a black mold type substance would grow. Even taking it apart after every use would not deter this growth eventually.
The new Flexcare brush fixes all of these issues. Gone are the deep crevices and unreachable traps for dirt and moisture. The brush head simply inserts onto a pin on top of the handle. The handle on the Flexcare is smaller than the Elite. As for the reduction in sound and vibration, I can't agree with the packaging because it sounds and feels the same as the Elite to me. There are many more cleaning modes however I just use the clean mode as I did before.
Both products clean my teeth nearly as good as the dentist. I always thought an electronic TB was a waste and was finally convinced by my dentist to try one. If you never have used one, you will be amazed at the difference from a manual brush. It takes some getting used to but you will see and feel the difference. See for yourself. After a couple of weeks try a manual brush and your mouth just doesnt feel clean at all. The package contains a charger, travel pouch, travel charger, UV brush sanitizer, 1 regular and one small brush head. My only gripe is that the travel pouch is soft where the Elite had a hard plastic case that held and cradled both the handle and brush. The new cloth pouch offers no protection from crushing or keeping the brush from hitting and possibly scratching the handle.
The instructions say you can put the handle in the dishwasher however at this price, I'm not brave enough to try that one. A Great product. If you are shopping for an electric TB, this is the one to get. Your teeth and gums will thank you. I also endure less scraping at the dentist since using this product so that alone is worth the price of this product. - 2008-06-26, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Excellent upgrade from older models.
- I also like many others here had their sonicare toothbrush die after three years and was looking for a replacement. I have been using the flexcare for a couple weeks and found each of the functions useful, like maxcare and clean.

- Best yet
- The Sonicare Flexcare brush is certainly the most effective cleaner/massager I have ever used. I bought it at the repeated urging of my dentist. I had been using an Oral B electric, which was effective. Indeed I was quite satisfied until I started with the Sonicare. It gets into more spaces, loosens debris better and maintains gums better than a rotating brush. I use a saline solution (1%) only - no toothpaste - and my teeth come out literally squeaky clean in two minutes of brushing. I have only had it for a few months, but I have had zero problems.
