[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our house is divided. I like it; my wife does not. She thinks the slower speed it still too aggressive.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although it is light weight and the battery lasts longer than the previous model,this model is not as vigorous as the previous model. It works but would have spent a little more for the model that had the three settings that died on me after 2 years.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very disappointed with this toothbrush. It's not nearly as powerful as the one that it replaced. I can't for the life of me figure out how to set it to not start on low power and then have to push the button again to make it high power even though I followed the steps to program it.

I had an oral b that I used for over 7 years and finally decided to try out philips sonicare. This was a good low price point but in a years time I had to get two replacements. Very unfortunate. I'm glad I registered the product so it was under warranty. I like how slim it is for travel but disappointed at the low quality and poorly made. Once warranty runs out, I would be seeking for another model or brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toothbrush does take some getting used to. I have always used an electric toothbrush but not the Sonic. It cleans good and I like the way it detects if you are brushing to hard.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have returned this toothbrush. It was so sensitive to the pressure that it didn't run a lot of the time and I barely had it on my teeth. The timer wasn't long enough to get all my mouth done. This is my third Sonic are so it's not like I didn't know what to expect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I originally owned a burst toothbrush for 5 years, and it died. I was going to purchase a new burst, but the price increase was out of my budget. I started researching and settled on the sonicare. So far, a great toothbrush. I feel like my teeth are cleaner, the brush head is designed better than my last toothbrush, and it's very lightweight. Glad I purchased it.
