Constantly dies or has battery issues
on March 21, 2013

I would recommend forking out the extra money for the regular sonicare with charger. Not sure what the deal is with this battery one but it constantly stops working and I have to open the battery compartment and wiggle the batteries and it will start back up again, but very frustrating. I know the batteries are not dead cause they are new just put in. Good for an affordable temporary use but I would have rather just put the money toward the more expensive model with charge base.
Pros: affordable
Cons: dies
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This product cleans like a dentist trip!

I love my Sonicare toothbrush! It takes a little "getting used to". The first few times using the Sonicare, required some cleaning up of the bathroom counter. After a few uses,I am now happy with the results. You can see and feel the improved cleaning of your teeth. So much better that cheap spin brushes or regular brushes. I would recommend this product to anyone. Try it. See the difference. Thanks Sandra
Pros: cleans better
Cons: a little water on the counter is worth it

Verified Purchase:Yes
The think I hate about the electric toothbrush design is that it has such a tendency to "gook" up on the top part under the cap. This leads to bacteria and germs. I take it apart frequently, pour hydrogen peroxide in it once a week but am still grossed out every time I take it apart.
Isn't there a way to prevent that?
Pros: more effective than non-electric
Cons: design flaw allows moisture and gook to collect.

I love my Sonicare tooth brush. Before I began using it 10 years ago I was doing serious damage to my gums causing my gums to recede.

After the Phillips company replaced my Sonicare toothbrush when it got water in the battery chamber due to a poor fit at the base, I have become a better user of my appliance. By watching the video on line I realized the importance of replacing the brush heads every three months. I also learned how to clean the appliance to make it last longer by removing the brush head once a week.
Pros: great for cleaning teeth w/o damaging gums
Cons: diffiult to get the battery chamber open.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased my first SoniCare in 2000. Recenrtly, the battery died.
I purchased the SoniCare online and selected the one where you supply the batteries (AA). I purchased another one just like it and I keep it in my suitcase. The brushed are the BEST!!!

not too happy with length of time that the battery lasts

When the battery is slowing down it doesn't slow down gradually. The toothbrush goes on and stops after a few seconds. Most electric toothbrushes stop "gradually". The batteries also don't seem to last very long.

I have noticed that my teeth feel cleaner on a daily basis. They feel somewhat the way they do right after a 6 month hygiene cleaning.

Wonderful for travel

I have used my Phillips Sonicare plug in toothbrush for many years, and I appreciate the alternate current charger for my work in developing countries. However, when I saw the Sonicare with batteries, I bought it to use for short trips. It is easy to pack and you don't have to worry about the charger or finding an extra outlet in a hotel room. It runs for a long time on just the two batteries, and it is easy to tuck extra batteries in a small suitcase.
I find it to be just as "hard working" as my regular Sonicare, and my teeth feel just as clean. Plus, it was very reasonably priced.
I am more than pleased with my new Sonicare.
