 great but irritating August 1, 2008

I have owned sonicade toothbrushes for >10yrs and think they are fantastic. This new improved version is great and the super clean option is great.
To my surprise you can change settings whilst cleaning. This wouldn't be a problem if the setting change button wasn't where your hand naturally rests..because it is you can change setting 1/2dozen times each toothbrush clean..from clean to sensitive to massage and then round again....quite annoying on a day to day basis.
I would have assumed they would program it so that you couldn't change settings during each clean...unfortunately you can...and it is really quite irritatating.

I bought my Sonicare HX6932 Flexcare toothbrush in January this year to replace an earlier model which had given up the ghost. This model is a major step forward from the earlier 'elite' model which it replaces for me. It's much lighter, has a range of settings to allow you to reduce the intensity of the brushing action, and it's replacement heads are much cheaper.
I was disappointed therefore when this brush stopped working altogher about a month ago. As I no longer had the original receipt (I'd bought it from eBay) I expected a battle to get it fixed. Not the case. I contacted the Philips helpline and was asked to provide the batch number of the brush. As the lady I spoke to could tell the brush was well within the two year warranty period, she simply gave me a returns number and asked me to send it back. Within a week or so I was sent a brand new replacement (including an infra-red sanitiser unit which mine didn't actually have). No long queues on the phone, a very polite and helpful lady on the phone (sounded Dutch and wasn't following a script!!) and no quibble about fixing/replacing it. All in all a much more pleasant experience than expected.
I guess the litmus test is how well a toothbrush cleans your teeth and I've certainly no complaints on that front. I would say on balance that it cleans better than my original 'elite', although to be fair, I never had and complaints about that one either.
 Sonicar value? July 10, 2008

I've owned and used the original Philips Sonicare for some years now but as the battery was beginning to die I purchased the latest model several months ago. The cleaning power is great but the design is very frustrating. I have found two basic problems, the major one is that in use I keep accidentally pressing the `Personalised Brushing button', which switches between Clean mode, Sensitive mode and Message mode. This button is placed in the position where the fingers come when holding the Sonicare in a balanced comfortable position for cleaning, hence I keep accidentally altering the brushing mode which is very frustrating. The second problem is that occasionally the brush head comes loose when in operation.
All in all rather disappointing considering the price of the Sonicare.
 Very unreliable June 22, 2008

Was initially impressed after getting as a replacement for the Braun equivalent BUT it is unreliable. The charger failed after two months and the brush head unit has now failed after 4 months. It still makes a noise but no vibrations come out of of the head. Expected better given high initial price.
I have used Braun Oral-B for years and usually get 2 or 3 years use out of each one.
The transition from Oral-B to Sonicare April 16, 2008

I will keep this brief, since it is for people who are using a (non-sonic) Braun Oral-B and are thinking of moving to Philips Sonicare.
I use the Oral-B Triumph and have done so for around a year. Before that an earlier Oral-B model and before that another one. So I guess I am an Oral-B kinda person - they work, they work well.
Now I have a Philips Sonicare to test drive and it's... interesting.
It is a little slimmer, but broadly the same - how much different could it have been? - and has everything you would expect to a top of the line electric toothbrush, such as LCD displays, long battery life, travel case and a robust charger.
What is different about it is the brush head. Mine came with two different sizes and they are, well, normal. Normal like an old fashioned toothbrush, not normal like the rotary Oral-B brush head. If the battery was flat, you could use a Sonicare as a manual brush.
In motion the Sonicare brush has a high pitched buzz. It sounds like a mosquito going past your ear as you try to fall asleep. The Triumph sounds like a pneumatic drill in comparison. I never thought my trusty brush was that noisy but it makes a racket compared to the Sonicare.
The other difference, the main difference, is in the brushing. My Oral-B spins like a little Catherine wheel, and is therefore nothing like a normal toothbrush. The Sonicare is just like a normal brush in shape and vibrates with such a small range of movement that it is barely visible. Which is fine, but it tickles.
I never knew that teeth could be tickled, but there you go - they can be. The Sonicare tickles them into submission. I have tried and tried to get used to it but to no avail. The Sonicare drives me nuts, while my noisy spinning Oral-B churns and scrubs its way to clean choppers.
I might be an exception, I might be the only person to have ticklish teeth, but forewarned is forearmed. Be careful out there.
As for a rating, hmmm. It is clearly a good piece of kit and my partner has no trouble at all, after switching to Sonicare from a regular brush, so I reckon 4 stars is fair.
