Philips Sonicare - 5 Series HealthyWhite Electric Toothbrush - White

I bought this after my dentist advised getting a good electric toothbrush due to possible gum issues. I did a fair amount of research in terms of what to look for in an electric toothbrush and customer reviews of various brands and models. I settled on this one because it seems to have everything I was looking for and the only things it was missing were a couple of bells and whistles that really didn't seem to add much to the quality of the toothbrush and its efficacy for the job for which it is intended. Other models had Bluetooth connections to your cellphone with a downloadable app that told you how long you brushed. That seemed pointless as this model has a signal at 30 second intervals to tell you how much time you've used and it turns off at the end of two minutes which is "supposed" to be the optimal brushing time. I usually turn it back on for another 20 or 30 seconds to brush the tops of the teeth and to use the brush to clean the tongue. As for how well the brush works, it works quite well. It has a high pitched sound that was a bit startling the first time I used the brush but it hasn't been an issue once I expected it. It also has three brushing speeds so that if the brush speed is too intense initially you can use a lower speed to build up your tolerance to the brushing speed. I always use the highest setting. Once done I've found that my teeth stay feeling cleaner for a much longer time than using my old brush and my mouth feels cleaner in between brushings. I am just another customer with no association, in any way, with the manufacturer but I could not be happier with this product. It does what it is supposed to do and it does it extremely well.

Oh my this toothbrush is the greatest. I used to own the oral b vitality & the bristles rotate & thought this would be the same but it is actually not. This toothbrush bristles vibrates instead and has lasted me up for a week without recharging it yet. The vibrating still cleans and is more silent. What i really find convenient is the portable case for the traveler. It has an option to whiten teeth which is the one i mostly use and it beeps when it is time to switch to another part of your teeth. I simply love it. I can now take it with me on my many trips i take in its convenient case.

I love, love, love this toothbrush. I travel much so the traveling case that comes with it is just right for me. The battery last pretty long time. I have used it for about 3 weeks and have had no need to recharge just yet. The bristles vibrate against the teeth & are soft enough on the gums. I feel my teeth just clean enough even though the bristles vibrate. I used to own the oral-b vitality & the bristles rotate against the teeth but my gums would start receding overtime. I highly recommend this. The pricing is just too much but i got mine with a gift card so no big deal.

I have been a Phillips Sonicare user for twenty years. This toothbrush is the pinnacle of their oral care products. This product cleans my teeth better than any of their precious offerings and has great features such as the quadrant timer that pauses momentarily and makes a tone to advise the user to move to another section of teeth. Three power or intensity settings to suit the users needs and a clean function for use with water after brushing with toothpaste. The small head creates a flow of toothpaste and liquid between teeth that flushes out food particles. The travel case is a great way to take my toothbrush with me when I travel for work.

Good but not as claiming whiter teeth in a week or two. Have been using for 3-4 weeks and do not see slightest difference in whiteness of my teeth. Works nice on cleaning teeth, but not good at massaging gums. The bristles stop vibrating due to weak power when touched to gum for massaging. Also design needs improvement since the handle gets wet from the dripping from the brush cartridge. There is no lining to prevent the dripping and limit to the brush cartridge only. Designers seem to ignore the practical aspect completely. I would like someone from Philips Sonicare respond to my comments above and also reach out to me by email, so I can explain the issues better,

Simply amazing. Teeth feel so clean and fresh from the dentist smooth youd swear you just brushed them walking out the door even 12 hours later. That is if you didn't have that awesome morning breath to remind you to brush at least twice daily (no matter how smooth they feel to your toungue). But forget that secondary fact...THE #1 most amazing thing is that when set in whitening mode with some crest 3/D whitening paste yoy will notice the darker shade of any teeth you maybe didn't hit as well as you should have that last pass when your finished. Even without using the diamond whitening head that came with the brush!

This is an excellent toothbrush from a trusted brand. My last toothbrush I had was a Philips Sonicare from 2009 which came in a 2 battery bundle pack which I've kept since then until recently when i had run through my 2nd battery and it would no longer hold a charge. I expect the same longevity with this toothbrush. What I like most compared to my old toothbrush is that the new ones do not screw in. The old one I had would constantly develop gunk where the heads screwed in but this was just snaps on which is much cleaner. It also had 3 modes for different intensities for sensitive teeth. I highly recommend this product to keep your teeth shining.

I've bought the Sonicare toothbrushes for years. My last one lasted almost three years then the battery finally had enough charges & I had to buy another one. Since using the Sonicare toothbrush, I would never think of going back to a manual toothbrush ever again. My teeth feel so clean after brushing with Sonicare. Love these toothbrushes. It's also easy on the gum line for those of us that have a tendency to brush too hard with manual toothbrushes. This toothbrush makes it so much easier to be careful in receding your gum line.
