Soni-riffic! [Posted on 2008-09-23] Love how fresh and clean Philips Sonicare Flexcare Toothbrush makes my mouth, teeth and breath feel. Makes oral hygiene fun, ranks next to godliness.
I love this Toothbrush! [Posted on 2008-09-23] I have owned several rechargeable toothbrushes for years and have been happy. When I needed to replace mine, on the recommendation of my dental hygienist, and a little rebate offer, I decided to try this. The brush head is great, I like the different cycles, and the sanitizer is an extra bonus and easy to use. It seems this brush is simply easier to keep clean as well. I highly recommend it. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
Planned Obsolescence [Posted on 2008-09-27] Here are two things Phillips will not tell you about their Sonicare toothbrushes and heads.
1) The collar that holds the toothbrush to the handle will disintegrate in a couple of months. That's what prompted this review, because they would not replace mine after it fell apart two weeks after purchasing a replacement.
They manufacturer these things to disintegrate so you will continue to buy replacements - planned obsolescence. However, I suspect their China supplier is skimping on the plastic specifications and they fall apart in weeks instead of months. (Do you think China would really do that?)
2) UNPLUG your base until you need to charge the toothbrush. If you charge it up overnight, then unplug the base, the toothbrush will work for four brushings per day for about a month. Then, when it signals or stops, plug the base in to charge it.
This method will allow your toothbrush to work for five years or longer. If you keep the base plugged in all the time, these NiCad batteries develop memory and will stop functioning after 18 to 24 months.
A bonus, if you travel a lot as I do, you don't have to pack the charger. Just make sure it's topped off and you're good for a month's vacation.
What was I waiting for? [Posted on 2008-09-29] My dentist's hygenist recommended this toothbrush to me at the end of last year. It took me until June to buy it and then until just a couple of weeks ago to actually start using it. Well, it's fantastic and I can't write enough superlatives about it. Just don't wait as long as I did to buy it and use it!
