Although I am using it for the recommended time I still have to manually remove food particles. In addition, it stopped during the brushing cycle.
Pros: ease of use
Cons: manually have to remove food particles, stopped during brushing cycle
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great toothbrush
on May 11, 2016
Posted by: Adriane17
I received a free toothbrush for my review.
I was always a little skeptical of electric toothbrushes, would it be too strong? Would it hurt my gums? Would I notice any change at all?
This toothbrush is amazing- it was a little odd at first, but I ended up with feeling like I'd just been to the dentist every time. I also feel like my teeth are whiter from using it. I do have some concerns still about gums, but will discuss with my dentist later this month.
I will definitely be using my electric toothbrush at least once a day (and a manual one for my 2nd brushing).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Average Product

I received a free sample of the Sonicare Plaque Control Toothbrush. Overall it is an average product for me. I like everything about it except for the fact that the brush head is way too small. Probably half the size of the head on my normal toothbrush.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Vibration High Experience

I received a free sample of this specific toothbrush in exchange for a transparent review of the product about a week ago. Here are my observations after using it.
First off, my initial impression was good because I am familiar with the manufacturer,so I had certain expectations right from the get-go. My review is mixed on this product and I will explain why:
Positive/Advantages: (1) Sleek design: It’s compact and light. Though stand appears small and possibly flimsy, it has this magnet like type effect that allows it to stay level, even if the cord moves around it. (2) Cleaning is effective: Every time I use it, I feel like I am getting a qualify cleaning, similar to that which I would receive at a dental office. (3) Ease of use: There are no fancy instructions to deal with. Keep a minimum charge of 48 hours, as suggested, and it can be removed from stand for days. It holds a charge very well. (4) Quadpacer Feature: What I have noticed is a slight beep every 30 seconds, which is to assist you in making sure that you cover all 4-segments of your mouth.
Negative/Disadvantages: (1) Settings: There are no high/low settings, other than one (1) speed. I am not fond of that because of the many crowns and dental work I have. I wish I had access to different levels. (2) Vibration: This is very powerful and there is no way to control its intensity. When I first used it, I found it too harsh. You really have to hold it at a distance and not directly on your teeth. In other words, don’t press down to brush. It must beheld superficially. (3) Easy-Start: They make mention of this in order to get you eased into the intensity of the brush. However, I never got this to work and I have already been using it for a week (it only last 14 brushings before it goes back to its original setting). (4) Other Misc: I found that the brush causes an overspray of the toothpaste (especially on a medicine cabinet), especially if you hold it too close to your teeth. Because of the high vibration, it’s bound to do this every time. The other thing I didn’t find very favorable was brushing my tongue with it. If my crowns (that are porcelain) are super sensitive to the vibration, then imagine how my tongue feels. I just don’t feel this brush is particularly great for daily use. This could be more of a maintenance product, because it does get deep into the gums and plaque build-up.
Pros: see above for detail
Cons: see above for detail

I have recently been sent a free sample of the Sonicare Plaque Control toothbrush. I was a bit skeptical of the device. After using the toothbrush I absoultly love it. At first it took some getting used to the sound and quick vibration. The results after just a few brushes are amazing!
product does an excellent job of maintaining clean, tartar free teeth

This product cleans teeth very well.

I received the Sonicare Plaque Control Toothbrush as a free sample to write a review. Overall, I like the toothbrush very much. It cleans my teeth excellently and they see much cleaner and whiter than they were before I started using the toothbrush. The vibrations of the toothbrush are super fast and small that it gets everywhere in my mouth very clean, especially by the gum line.
Although it took getting used to, my favorite thing about the toothbrush is that it indicates through vibrations when 30 seconds have passed and it is time to move to another area in the mouth. It does this 4 times so that all four sides of your mouth are cleaned for a sufficient amount of time. When 2 minutes have passed, the toothbrush automatically turns off, something I am not sure I like because sometimes I like to brush my teeth for longer than 2 minutes.
I would highly recommend this toothbrush to someone looking to purchase an electric toothbrush that leaves your teeth feeling and looking very clean. It doesn't take up much space on your counter and it easy to use. I have used other electric toothbrushes before and so far this my favorite.
