[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really like this toothbrush, with its built-in timer, gentle buzzing, and narrow head for cleaning all the hard to reach parts of your mouth.
In the last few years I had 3 of these brushes, each year the model gets “updated” , it gets smaller, slimmer, more difficult to hold, and the latest model is slim and very slippery, also now it comes with usb charger, and who has usb outlet in their bathroom.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're sorry to hear you're not pleased with the new design of our Sonicare toothbrush models. As for the USB charger, Philips has made the decision to include the cable without the wall adapter, as we are currently trying to reduce the amount of plastic production in order to help our planet. You can either use a wall adapter you already own, or plug the USB into your phone´s charger in order to use only one adapter and help us continue our goal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since using my new Sonic toothbrush my teeth and gums feel so much cleaner, with much less effort, and battery seems to hardly ever need charging! Love it! Going to get some for my kids and hubby.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 12 year old son on the spectrum. It’s always been a battle getting him to brush his teeth properly. The timer is so perfect. He has been brushing his teeth properly since we got the toothbrush. The vibration when he brushes too hard is great. After his last dental appointment he started brushing too hard so this has been a big help. He is keeping his teeth healthy and clean and mom can stop nagging .
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'd been using a manual toothbrush for a little bit and switched back to this until I make up my mind to get the Diamond Clean. I was actually surprised by the functionality of this one and how comfortable it is to use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Toothbrush shuts off automatically after a set amount of time. Toothbrush starts up in low setting half the time. These are annoying features that do not add value. Would be nice if there was a way to disable these features.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. As you mentioned, all Sonicare models come with the Smartimer feature, which automatically sets the brushing time to the 2 minutes, recommended by dental professionals After these 2 minutes your Sonicare will automatically turn off. If you wish to brush for a longer period, simply press the power button and another 2-minute cycle will start. When you use the toothbrush for the first time, the default setting is the low intensity. If you see this happening more often, it might have to do with the Easy-Start feature being activated by mistake The EasyStart feature gently increases the power over the first 14 brushings to help you get used to the brushing with the Philips Sonicare. To deactivate it, press and hold the power on/off button while the handle is on the plugged-in charger, keep the power on/off button pressed until you hear a single short beep (after 3 seconds), finally, release the power on/off button. A triple tone of high-med low means the EasyStart feature has been deactivated. The battery level indicator light will blink amber one time to confirm deactivation.
