Cleans teeth thoroughly

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the overall design of the brush and it cleans my teeth thoroughly. However even using the low setting it seems to be very high vibration and makes my teeth sensitive. Maybe I will get more used to it when I use it more. The charge lasts a really long time which I love.
I would recommend this to a friend!

An effective clean but could use some improvements

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used sonicare products for years now and love their reliable cleaning skills. This new sonicare does a good job of cleaning my teeth, but I prefer the four tones for segment cleaning of your mouth over the 6 that it now has. I normally do bottom front, bottom back, top front, and top back and switching to six segments makes it harder to remember where I have been and insure cleaning is done evenly.
I do like the flashing notification that you are pressing too hard, but think that having it notify you when you are at ideal pressure (green) would be really helpful as there is no way to indicate that the pressure is too light.
I do prefer my other sonicare for it's charging (place it in the glass cup and with a wall outlet) I don't mind the set it on the base charging, but having to find my own wall plug in with the proper specs needed to connect the USB cord provided was very annoying especially if you are traveling.
The power level of this brush also feels weak compared to my normal sonicare. I have it turned up to the highest level which doesn't seem as good as the standard level for our current sonicare.
The new brush head is definitely softer than I was expecting and only a week into use it has already flared out quite a bit. I don't see this brush head lasting as long as a standard brush head with normal use.

Final thoughts:
The brush handle works well as a basic sonicare but is definitely lacking some power/ features of the more premium models. I do think that customers switching from manual to this model will be happy with the switch and see improvements in their oral health. I do think that investing in one of the better quality brush heads will make the brush handle significantly better and it would be great to see how it performs with the A-3 premium brush heads I usually use.

Powerful, compact and great battery life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size and weight of the toothbrush. It is much lighter than previous electric toothbrushes. I enjoy the various settings for speed and cleaning. The timer works great to ensure I'm staying on pace with brushing the areas of my teeth. The only complaint is it got scratched up easier than I anticipated (while traveling). Oh, the battery life is AMAZING. I have not charged it once for over 2 weeks and see no loss in power.

Quietest Sonicare I've had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *** I received this product free as part of a product test ***
The item is a typical Sonicare toothbrush that once turned on stays on for two minutes per button press. It has two options for brushing style - sensitive and clean. Also, there's three speeds (1, 2, or 3 lights). The brush does make an audible sound every thirty seconds to let the user know that they need to move to the next area of the mouth. The battery on the toothbrush does last longer than my other toothbrush so that was positive for me. However, I would likely use a different brush as the bristles are entirely too soft for me and I don't feel that it's brushing or cleaning enough compared to my other brushes.

This toothbrush is great, mostly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the product for free as part of a product test. Overall I really like it. It gets my teeth really clean, almost slick. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't clean in between my teeth very well.

Power brush for a power smile
on August 25, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Philips Sonicare 6000 Rechargeable Toothbrush courtesy of Stellar Product Testing Panel. As someone with extremely limited experience with an electric toothbrush I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thankfully the Philips Sonicare 6000 Rechargeable Toothbrush directions are very easy and clear. The only assembly required is the toothbrush head that easily clicks into place. It comes with a charging station that is compact enough to fit on my small vanity. I fully charged the toothbrush 3 days ago and have not had to recharge it since. Along with these perks the toothbrush itself does a pretty thorough cleaning and my teeth feel very smooth and clean after brushing. I appreciate the sensitive setting for my thin enamel teeth. It is taking some adjustment to not manually brush my teeth but to simply hold the toothbrush in place for a few seconds on each tooth as stated in the directions. This really is all that is needed for a complete cleaning except for an area next to a crooked canine tooth that I do need to give a little extra attention to. For all other teeth I follow the 20 second time signal to move to the next section of my mouth. I did only give 4 stars because even though it is really great it is not the ultimate perfect product. The design of the toothbrush is attractive as it is clean and sleek looking. However, it is so sleek that it becomes slippery in my hand causing me to frequently readjust my grip; I do wish it had a rubber hand gripping area. Another bothersome aspect is that if the toothbrush is on but not in my mouth (ex. Pulling it out to speak to my child) it sprays toothpaste everywhere. I realize this is something I need to be more conscientious of on my end but until I get better at it I foresee lots of mirror cleaning and shirt changes. The only other thing that bothers me is the angle I use when brushing my back molars rattles the top of the toothbrush against my top molars causing the purple pressure light to activate. I do a follow up with a manual toothbrush once a day to make sure I can get the way back completely clean. Overall I do like the Philips Sonicare 6000 Rechargeable Toothbrush and hopefully after more time and practice I will master it completely!
