Good power, like the multiple settings. Find it odd there is no longer 4-quadrant timing alerts (replaced by 6 shorter alerts) this I'm no longer sure each quadrant is getting the same length of time / attention.

I love my new toothbrush. As soon as I press to hard it notifies me. The charge lasts for a long time, 2-3 weeks. You don’t need a separate charger which is nice. I love the purple color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the timer on the toothbrush to make sure I brush for 2 minutes each time. It makes me focus on brushing all my teeth good. Thank you to my hygienist for recommending it to me.

Good clean if not a little bulky
on September 2, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this toothbrush as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel at no cost. Overall the toothbrush provides a good clean finish and runs relatively quietly. It's simple to charge and use in any of it's three modes.
That said, there were a couple things that stand out for improvement. First off is the size, there are other toothbrushes on the market that don't have so much weight to them and while this toothbrush offers 3 modes (clean, whiten, and sensitive) which understandably adds to the bulk, I don't feel like those features offer enough of a tradeoff, especially when you consider that one slip of your thumb when brushing can easily change the mode mid-brush. I'd also think the onboard bluetooth also contributes to the size, and in a world where everything is connected I get the impulse but again, all I really want is the indicator every 30 seconds.
All that said, I have a use case for this toothbrush now that I have vetted it. I plan to give it to my kiddo who is working on a goal of better toothbrushing in Occupational Therapy as the guidance from the app will support that goal.
So, is it the toothbrush for me? No. Is there an absolutely valid use case for the toothbrush, Yes!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Best Toothbrush EVER
on September 1, 2025
Posted by: Katheryn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Sonicare toothbrush as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I was really impressed with the Philips Sonicare 6400 overall. The sleek, modern design looks great on the bathroom counter, and it feels solid and well-made without being bulky.
After brushing, my teeth looked noticeably cleaner and felt incredibly smooth, almost like I had just left the dentist’s office. It left my whole mouth feeling fresh and polished in a way that a manual brush never does.
Compared to a regular toothbrush, the Sonicare is a game-changer. The vibrations do most of the work, so I don’t feel like I have to scrub hard, and it’s much gentler on my gums while still giving a deep clean.
What I liked most is how easy it makes maintaining good oral hygiene. The built-in timer keeps me brushing long enough, and the rechargeable battery lasts for days without needing to plug it in. Overall, it makes brushing feel effortless while delivering noticeably better results.
I would recommend this to a friend!
