- Sonic the toothbrush
- Having been a longtime Oral B user the claims that were made about this brush were enough to make a Vine request.
This is an excellent though noisy system. Though working at sonic frequencies it does not celan any better than its slow predecessor, while being very noisy.
In addition, this system came we just one single brush, thus requiring an extra purchase to make it a multi-person tool. - 2008-04-11, 2 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Works Great
- I have been using the Sonicare Elite 7300 brush for a couple of years now, so it was no surprise to me that the FlexCare line is also a very good brush. All-in-all, using the new FlexCare is not all that much different than the Elite series, it feels about the same despite the advertised 80% less vibration. That being said the vibration does not bother me at all. The two biggest differences I noticed with the FlexCare are the significantly smaller handle size, which could be good if you have smaller hands and the somewhat larger brush head size, which I kind of like, because it seems to clean more areas faster. Of course the new ProResults brush head also means that I can't use the same brush heads that I have already bought for my older brush, but I like the new head design and also the way that it just presses on instead of screwing on like the older heads did.
As for all of the brushing modes and cleaning routines offered with this brush, I have not even bothered with them, I like brushing my normal 2 minutes (30 seconds each quadrant) which is what the standard clean mode does, so that is what I use. The charger station is also nice because it can hold two extra brush heads so that up to 3 people can share the same space easily. It also has a "travel charger" which is just the main charger without the extra brush head spaces and also a cloth-like travel case. The battery life also claims to be longer than any of the previous versions, so taking this on longer trips without even worrying about the charger is more of a possibility.
So, in conclusion, I never had any problems with my Elite series brush and I don't expect to have any with the new FlexCare either. It also seems to work just as well if not better and I have had wonderful dentist check-ups for the past several years with no cavities and very little plaque despite the fact that I only brush once a day, so I'm pretty happy with the Sonicare brushes and plan to use them for a long time to come. If you are switching from a regular manual brush up to this it does have a little bit of a weird feeling at first, but other than that first week or so of getting used to it, I really have nothing negative to say about this product. - 2008-04-10, 13 of 13 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Head and Shoulders Above the Rest
- I've tried just about every electronic toothbrush on the market (Sonicare Elite, Braun, Ultreo, and Waterpik), and the new Sonicare Flexcare beats them all.
Why?
1. Using the regular setting for a two-minute brush leaves my teeth feeling clean, the cleanest of any of the brushes I've tried.
2. Multiple power settings include a low power gum massage that's just great. This massage feels as though it stimulates blood flow to the gums, and that just has to be helpful.
3. Plus, for new users, there's an Easy Start program built into the brush that allows the brush speed to start slow and increase in power over several days. For users familiar with electronic brushes, however, starting with the regular (full power) setting won't be a problem.
4. The charger is solid and heavy enough to avoid the tipping over problems I've experienced with some other brushes. And there's a place to conceal the excess wiring beneath the charger.
5. The replacement brushes are reasonably priced. I won't be spending the price of a new setup every year just to get new brush heads. And I appreciate the fact that Phillips is not holding their customers hostage for replacement brush heads.
All in all, the new Flexcare is just about perfect. I highly recommend it! - 2008-04-09, 3 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Wow, this is great!
- After seeing some of the preliminary reviews, I was excited to try this. I had an electronic toothbrush, probably about 10 years ago, and I stopped using it for some reason I can't remember. I think that was a Braun. Since then, I've bought a couple of Crest spin brushes. I used to think they were all pretty much the same, but the Sonicare is in a whole different league. Besides the superior cleaning you get with the sonic action, my favorite parts are the timer that tells you how long to brush in one area and the different modes. I like the massage mode but will use the clean mode for daily use. Since I hadn't used an electric toothbrush for a while, I used the Easy Start mode, and that was nice, but I think most people can probably handle jumping right in to clean mode. I also find the brush to be comfortable in my hand. This product is highly recommended!

- New technology toothbrush does a good job !!
- This new electric toothbrush by Philips has a wide bristle range and special angled neck to provide better tooth coverage and a deeper clean. It makes it easy to reach hard to get to places in the mouth. In addition to a good cleaning job, it helps prevent gingival bleeding. The instructions say that it is gentle on orthodontics, dental work, veneers, implant material and sensitive teeth. I agree. There are several models of this toothbrush. It isn't inexpensive (about $ 125-$130 each), but if it helps you maintain good mouth health with lower dentist expenses, it's well worth the money !
