[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well-constructed but that's about it. I've read the manual a dozen times, and tried everything in and still the one thing I want - for it to run on the strongest setting - eludes me. I think there are too many "features" built into it, it should be simple to just push a button and get what you want reliably. But that's no how this one works. Some nights I get a robust brushing, other nights it barely vibrates. Hugely disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Don’t waste your money

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this a couple of months and now it won’t charge. Big waste of money!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I expected a lot from this toothbrush after my dentist told me it was "the best." It's not working out for me. The brush head that comes with it is too narrow and doesn't clean my teeth effectively. Even worse (really!) is the high pitched whine that comes with the "sonic" feature. Some sounds cause pain in my left ear, and that noise from the toothbrush is very uncomfortable, especially if the stem of the brush attachment happens to touch a tooth while I'm brushing. OUCH!

Hi ChuckIt,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. This is not the experience we want you to have with our Philips Sonicare toothbrush. We recommend that you remove the brush head from the handle. Turn on your toothbrush. The original Philips Sonicare brush heads are recommended. Brush heads that are not original may produce more noise than original brush heads. If your toothbrush is making an unusually loud noise, it could be due to a loose brush head. Check that the brush head is securely attached to the handle and not loose. A small gap will remain between the handle and the brush head due to vibration.
We hope this makes your experience better. If not, please reach out to us via social media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and Twitter (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry, if you don’t use Social Media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only had a couple of months- but suddenly the vibration’s intensity disappears. It comes and goes now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous electric toothbrush was a rotary model. This sonic type brush took some getting used to - as the frequency that it operates at is very high. The size is nice (of both the brushing unit and the charging stand). A con is that the on-off button position on the handle is such that normal grasping of the handle during use sometimes cav shut the unit off inadvertently.
I would recommend this to a friend!

while using this product, head continually works its way off. The best sonic toothbrush was when the heads screwed on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 5th Sonic toothbrush. They clean very well and keep the plaque away. I do not like the black with the white brush, think they should ship with the black brush to match the base. Also, I had to go out and get a converter to plug into the wall. Should come with one or make it a plug in.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace my previous sonicare toothbrush that died on me. I like the smaller size and that it can be charged by a usb port. However, I am disappointed that it didn’t come with a carrying case. This could have been an oversight on my part when ordering and I am able to use my previous carrying case when traveling but a new case that fits the smaller size would have been nice
