three years later, and the head mechanism is broken. FAIL

Have had several different Sonicare brushes and they were great so I thought I would upgrade. This one is terrible and no upgrade. Ridiculously loud and stopped working after three months.

Our family has been using Sonicare rechargeable toothbrushes for many years with excellent results and this 9000 Special Edition is no exception. It doesn’t disappoint. We made the switch from manual toothbrushes to Sonicare starting with the Elite 750 model about 18 years ago. The first visit to my dental hygienist after making the switch confirmed that my overall oral health had improved significantly. My dentist has since repeatedly told me to keep up the good work with my teeth & gums. The rest of my family followed my lead & made the switch to Sonicare soon after. I’ve had no cavities since & not even a hint of gingivitis, much less any periodontal disease. My hygienist has very little work to do during my semi-annual cleanings. HIGHLIGHTS: -Artful Design: This is the most aesthetically attractive Sonicare toothbrush yet. The beautiful blue handle & minimalist charging base look fantastic sitting atop my bathroom vanity. -Practicality: The sleek, smooth, lightweight handle is ergonomic & maneuverable so it’s not tiring to hold/use. -Travel: There’s a handy travel charging case included. -Options: There are 3 levels of brushing intensity w/an easy-access on-handle button to change levels at will. There are also 4 different brush modes: Clean, White+, Gum Health, & Deep Clean+. Based on the smart brush head you use, the optimal mode & intensity will be selected automatically by the BrushSync technology. Again, you can still manually change modes by pressing the mode/intensity button. -The SmarTimer & BrushPacer keep your brushing sessions on track by providing audible tone alerts when it’s time to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. -The Power Button on this 9000 Special Ed. Is easier to depress than the on/off button on my wife’s 9900 Prestige, which is flush w/the handle & can be a little difficult to engage. -The Philips Sonicare App has some helpful features. It gives real-time feedback while brushing, including all aspects of your technique. The built-in Pressure Sensor tells you whether you’re applying too much pressure. You’ll also learn whether you’re “scrubbing” & whether you’re brushing long enough for optimal results. It also keeps your full brushing history, gives addl. tips, & alerts you when it’s time to change out the brush head. -Interchangeable Brush Heads: The unit comes w/the C3 Premium Plaque Control brush head which removes up to 10x more plaque vs. a manual toothbrush, but still accommodates other comparable brush heads. For instance, my wife prefers the C2 Optimal Plaque Control heads. -Low-Tech Option: If you want to go low-tech, no problem. Just plug it in, charge it up, press the start button, select the intensity level, & skip downloading the App. -Cleaning Effectiveness: This high-tech power tool utilizes an advanced sonic technology w/a sweeping motion that creates gentle microbubbles that reach deep between teeth for a more thorough cleaning than you can accomplish w/your manual toothbrush. -Teeth Whitening: If you use this device as designed, it whitens your teeth without damaging the enamel. My teeth are whiter than they were before I began using Sonicare power toothbrushes.

Breaks in just a few months. Cheaper Sonicares last longer and are more sturdy. This model is cheaply made.

I have been using sonicare toothbrushes for years. Most last 1 to 2 years. This one last 4 months. I have wasted my money.

Over the years I have had many quality or more “high end” rechargeable toothbrushes. This list includes the original Sonicare many years ago as well as other brands. There are few things in life I have spent extra on to get top quality, but toothbrushes and water flossers definitely make that list. I like this toothbrush as much as anyone I have ever used, including much more expensive models. Is it my clear favorite or the one I would recommend in every instance? Probably not, but just for pure cleaning ability I really do love it quite a bit. First impressions out of the box are very good. It’s aesthetically lovely with its smooth finish and sleek overall design. I really like the clear plastic removable cover for the base that stays on when charging but can be easily removed for cleaning. First time I’ve had a base like this and it should become the standard for all makes and models in my opinion. The travel case is fine, very basic but functional design. The app is solid. I have used apps like this one before that have done a fine job of “training” me to using the proper pressure and attention to every area of my mouth. So though I won’t use this app again, it would be very effective to getting a new “smart” brush user to their most effective brushing routine. Apps like these can also be good for some and staying motivated by tracking your progress. If you are really looking for a toothbrush to help someone really stay motivated (as in that is your TOP priority) there probably are better, more expensive options out there. One of mine for example, will give you a smiley face when you do well or flash different colors to show if you are using the proper pressure. This would probably be more motivation to a child who doesn’t like to brush. With that being said, and you just want the best cleaning possible, I think this toothbrush is a real winner. If I solely judge it my its most important trait, how well does it clean my teeth, I give this device a solid 5 out of 5 stars. Afterwards my teeth felt so clean and fresh! The level of sound and vibration is pretty good as well. I have used some that can make my inner ear tickle! No issues at all with this one. There are 4 different cleaning settings each with 3 different intensity settings to dial in your preferences. At the end of the day this is an excellent choice for a high end rechargeable “smart” toothbrush. The price is very competitive considering its quality and other options available on the market. Other than perhaps if someone was specifically looking for something a bit more “fun” or motivating (and expensive!) , I would absolutely recommend this device to a friend. Well done Sonicare!

I haven't been able to go back since the day I started using an electric toothbrush. It was a Sonicare way back in the day too. My toothbrush before this one is very similar to this and is going to move into the second bathroom because it's still going strong after more than 5 years now. These are premium toothbrushes that last. Setup is a breeze. The battery light was flashing when I first took it out of the box but it still got through a full brushing. Plug in the base and the glass holder just fits on top where you sit your toothbrush on top of to charge. The one thing I wish this toothbrush had that my older one does is the cup. The charger is still induction and I thought the cup was much more premium feeling than the small puck that you place your toothbrush in and stand it straight up. I decided to use my old cup to charge this toothbrush and use the new puck to charge my old toothbrush in the other bathroom. They both work the same so it's not a big deal but I did like the cup more than this new puck. Usage is pretty easy. Put the toothbrush on top and press the start button. The instructions has a lot of information on each of the modes and what they're for and how long they last. They tell you which section of teeth you should stick to for each section of the session too. Highly recommended you review that part of the instruction book. We usually stick to a single mode that my wife and I both like but you'll want to try them all and maybe switch it up if you're aiming to tackle a trouble area for yourself. Lots of options. If you're coming from a standard manual toothbrush, you'll probably be blown away by this toothbrush. I can't get my teeth to feel clean with a standard toothbrush anymore. I'll never go back. It's easy. The toothbrush guides you to keep things consistent and my teeth just feel so much more clean with these toothbrushes. Given that my old toothbrush is over 5 years old now, I wouldn't look at this as a high cost toothbrush. I'd look at it as a quality, premium toothbrush. You can get electric toothbrushes for a lot cheaper, sure, but I can't vouch for how long those last and how well they work. Bottom line, when the only bad thing I can say about this product is it doesn't contain the same cup for charging as my old toothbrush had, it's a pretty great toothbrush. If you're coming from a manual toothbrush, take the plunge and invest in the premium product if you're able. If not, just invest in another electric toothbrush. I don't advocate manual brushing for anyone but small children at this point. This is a premium product that will last you a long time so spend the money if you're able on an item that will get used 3-5 times per day and still feel like new 5+ years later.

In six ninth of use on and off stop working. Not happy.

The Sonicare 9000 is, by far, the BEST toothbrush I have ever used. This is not my first Sonicare toothbrush. It is actually my 3rd! Take it from me, as I have a lot to compare it to, this one takes the cake. First of all, the color is really cool. I assume this is part of the "special edition" that is advertised on the box. The gradual fade from blue to black looks really cool. The blue lighting inside the toothbrush has a great look as well. I like that there are different settings on the toothbrush as well. Changing this will change the toothbrush's behavior during brushing. Different settings may adjust the length of time the toothbrush runs a cycle. This toothbrush also has smart features to help you stay dedicated to brushing and to direct you in the appropriate way to brush your teeth. Using the app that links to the toothbrush via bluetooth, you can visibly see a timer and diagram of which sections of your teeth you should be brushing. It also alerts you via "haptic feedback" on the toothbrush itself and on your smartphone screen if you are brushing with too much pressure. After each brushing, the app logs the session so you can see your brushing habits. It comes with a charger base that you sit the toothbrush in to charge the battery. It also comes with a travel case! It also keeps track of the life of the changeable bristle head. My teeth always feel completely clean after using this toothbrush. If you haven't made the swap to a Sonicare 9000 you should! Your teeth will thank you and you will NEVER go back to the standard toothbrush!

It's just a toothbrush, right? Nope, it's a smart toothbrush! Do you *need* it? Probably not, but it does have some pretty nice and useful features (as well as some that might be a little much, but not complaining). The toothbrush has different heads you can use, such as a whitening specific one. It also has different modes, such as deep clean, whitening, and others. What's pretty cool and nice is that when you put a different head on it knows which one you're using and adjusts the settings accordingly. It also knows how long you've used a brush head, as well as how much pressure you brush with, so it kkows when you need to replace the brush head. Speaking of pressure, it senses how much pressure your brushing with and the brush speed changes to let you know you're brushing too hard. It also with alert you as you're brushing when to move on to another section to make sure you're not brushing one spot too long but also not long enough. I also like that the charging stand has a detachable "cup" I guess you would call it. Basically it sits on the charger and the toothbrush sits it it, so when it gets nasty (because if you've ever had a rechargeable toothbrush with a stand you know it will), you can easily clean it. In addition to these useful features it also can be synced with an accompanied app. Yes, "there's an app for that"... Maybe some take their teeth brushing more seriously than I do, but I'm not complaining. More features are nice to have even if I don't find them useful others might.

I have been using electric toothbrushes for over ten years now and this might be the best one I have used in a while. The first one I ever used was a high end philips sonicare that my dentist had given me for free, so I was looking forward to using this one. You also get a charging stand, travel case and a brush head in the package. The charging stand looks vey cool and it does not take up too much space. The modes were nice because you get to choose what you want to focus on at the time you are brushing your teeth. On top of that, then you get to choose the intensity. Pairing the toothbrush with the app was a breeze, you will walked through the whole process by the app. This toothbrush feels well constructed and made with quality material, but still feels relatively light in my hand while brushing. The battery life is very good, it hasn't died on me yet after brushing two times everyday, but with the cool looking charging base you will always keep this toothbrush charged, ha ha! I liked using this toothbrush and my mouth always feels super clean after using it. The only con for this toothbrush is the travel case. It felt like cheap plastic. When I travel I carry a smaller cheap electric toothbrush, so it does not take up too much space and I won't care if something happens to it. This philips toothbrush is waaay to nice to leave the house, I do not want it to be lost or damaged. Even though there is only one con, I'm still giving this toothbrush 5 stars.

How can you go wrong with this. Philips is probably the number one brand when it comes to power toothbrushes. If you have never used an electric toothbrush it will take some getting used to. I have been using mine for a couple of weeks and I’ve grown to love it. It takes away some of the back and forth we’ve had to do most of our lives and it may even be more efficient. If you have sensitive teeth you can adjust the intensity from low to high. There’s even an indicator to let you know if you’re pressing too hard. So you don’t have to press as hard as you think for this brush to work. There’s a indicator to let you know when to switch sections in your mouth. I believe it’s broken down into six sections: front and 2 sides on the bottom and top. There are different cleaning modes you can cycle through. Clean, white, gum health, and deep clean. The last two modes may be longer than the other two. I generally use the clean mode. One of the coolest things about this brush is the brush heads will tell you when it’s time to replace. After wear and tear there’s an indicator light on the brush head that lets you know if it is time to replace. How cool is that? I can’t remember the last time I charged my brush because the battery lasts forever. I wish it came with more brush heads but I’ve had mine a while and haven’t had to replace it yet.
