[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been using a Sonicare toothbrush for the last 25+years. It stopped working while on vacation without access to my computer so I had no time to do research. BTW I have a history of teeth problems going back 40 years and the Sonicare toothbrush and quarterly dentist cleaning since using the Sonicare have mitigated the problems. However when I went to purchase a replacement I did not know there was a "dumbded down" version alll having the Sonicare brand. I miss the 30 second reminder to switch to another quadrant. among other things. I also do not like the 2 speed switch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible! Very weak even fully charged. Had 2 of these, returned 1 threw the next one out. Bought the 6000, much better. Much stronger. Works very well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It brushes wonderfully when it stays on (the powerful mode). The mode is never consistent. Once it graduates from the softer mode to the more intense mode, once I charge it it resets itself. Believe me, I’ve followed all the provided troubleshooting from the instruction manual to no avail. I’ll be brushing with the more more intense mode for 8 days then out of nowhere it will change to a middle setting, not the lowest. Then I click it to the more intense mode, only to have it go to the softness stater setting. No consistency. Was going to purchase the more expensive model & use this one as my travel brush-but now weary

Good toothbrush for healthy teeth and gums

This is my favorite toothbrush and my dentist noticed the health of my gums and teeth was improved when I started using this brush over a standard toothbrush. I recently replaced my original soniccare with this version and like the finish on it better, it’s easier to grip.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There were few basic problem with brush. 1. The brush head vibrates. During brushing, if we keep mouth open, it spills the paste on wash basin and mirror. How can we brush with mouth close? 2. There is actually no stand. Only stand is with with power outlet attached. It means I always have to plug-in the device which will consume electricity and also battery life would go down pretty fast. There should be only stand available and based on requirement, we can plug to power outlet attached
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't feel that this toothbrush is as effective as the last one I had, it doesn't feel like my teeth are as clean as they should be. The last one I had, I bought in 2005, I thought it was the same model.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Do you enjoy that feeling your mouth has when your teeth have been professionally cleaned? That is what you get each and every time you use the Philips Sonic toothbrush! I cannot believe we waited so long before getting this device. I cannot wait to here what our dental hygienist has to say at our next visit. Based upon my experience, you will not be disapointed with your purchase of this device.
