Great oral hygiene tool

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2024

It is a great product. My dentist highly recommends it for reducing recession of gums over manual tooth brushing. I like the durability and its ability to hold a charge.

Poorer quality than in the past

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024

I've been using Sonicare toothbrushes for more than 25 years. Before this one, the brush lasted more than 6 years and only failed because I inadvertently allowed the battery to run down.

This one failed after 5 months -- the shaft from the base that holds the brush head became loose. This brush never left my bathroom and never fell. So I can only conclude that quality has declined.

I called Philips and got a replacement for free, as it was still under warranty. But I don't have a lot of confidence in this brand any longer.

Powerful toothbrush

Already had a Sonicare toothbrush that was older and failing so, I bought this 5100. This is absolutely the best toothbrush I’ve ever owed. So much more powerful than all the other power brushes I’ve had. I highly recommend this!

A very effective tooth brush

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: BlackVerified Purchase

The Sonicare toothbrush is an excellent oral hygiene tool. It is easy to hold and maneuver. It has "bells and whistles" for people who like them. My dentist is always pleased with the cleanliness of my teeth. The single most significant negative is the cost of the replacement heads. I feel the price is excessive. Generac heads are available at a significantly lower price. You can be the judge if the generics will be adequate for your needs.

This is my second Sonicare.

I had an earlier Philips cordless toothbrush, and after a couple of years or more, the center shaft broke off and popped out. I tried to epoxy it back in, but it lost 1/2 of its vibrating power. Time for an updated replacement. I tried to find something quite similar, and this one fit the bill. My fist few weeks with my first cordless, I had to keep it on medium power as it tickled my gums too much. Took a few weeks, then we went full tilt on high power, baby!! Philips is a great brand with as great a reputation.

A slim, light weight, excellent cleaning electric toothbrush.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2023

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have been using the Sonicare toothbrush for some time now, and I am genuinely impressed with it. The first thing that caught my attention was its sleek and stylish design. It looks great on my bathroom counter and adds a touch of sophistication to my daily routine. The build quality is also impressive, and I haven't had any issues with it since I started using it. The long battery life is another advantage, and I appreciate that I only need to charge it once every few weeks.

One feature that sets Sonicare apart from other electric toothbrushes is its efficiency in cleaning teeth and protecting gums. I have noticed a significant improvement in my dental health since switching to Sonicare. My teeth feel cleaner, and my gums are healthier than ever. The toothbrush also comes with a slim and durable hard-shell case, which makes it easy to travel with and keeps it protected on the go.

Overall, I highly recommend the Sonicare toothbrush to anyone looking to improve their dental hygiene. It's an excellent investment in your health, and the benefits are undeniable. The toothbrush is easy to use, efficient, and stylish, making it a great addition to any bathroom. If you're in the market for an electric toothbrush, look no further than this one.

I like it better than my Oral B

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

It has a toothbrush cover, but my oral-b does not. It sounds a bit like an angry bee whereas my oral-b feels a bit like a jackhammer by comparison. I definitely prefer the Sonicare - smoother ride. The Oral-b stand tends to pool a little water after brushing, much less so with Sonicare.

Should have bought one sooner

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Been using this toothbrush for over a year now and it has been life changing hygiene wise. My dentist has always got on me about brushing to hard and long and that it was actually bad for my teeth. They advised to get one of these electric ones. I purchased this one and it has been a great find. The timer works great for consistency and it tells you when to switch to another quadrant of your mouth with a subtle vibration. It has held up from twice a day use without missing a beat. I probably get two weeks out if each charge which is great. Travel case is also really nice. I usually replace the head every 6 months as they don't wear fast at all. As a word of advice buy the cheap ones on Amazon, I found no benefit of buying the expensive name brand ones.

Great toothbrush

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I really like this electric toothbrush. My teeth feel very clean after using it. I find it really easy to replace the brush head- not difficult to pull off or put a new one on. I love that this toothbrush has a light come on to remind when to replace a new one. I bought the replacement heads here on Amazon as well for like a pack of 12 or so. Not a bad price either. Lastly, I went on a weekend trip and didn’t pack the charger. The charge held up for the weekend as well. I also liked the added bonus of having a case for this toothbrush. Overall, this is better than my last electric toothbrush and has held up so far.

The purchase I am most satisfied with in MY LIFE!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I'm insane about this toothbrush!!! All my life brushing my teeth is a chore and I just never felt like I was getting all that plaque and grime cleared away, as a smoker and coffee drinker for years there was a faint yellow to my teeth that I could just never seem to shake out. Over the years I have heard great things about these brushes and could never justify the price. After my dentist recommended I get this exact one last week I caved and got it. I'm now brushing my teeth 3 times a day at LEAST! The years of yellow has faded away and my teeth and gums feel so good, I had no idea you could literally feel the difference! Regular toothbrushes are for the birds, I would die for this toothbrush, it has already proven to be the best purchase in my adult life. I cannot recall ever writing a review for a product before on here, but I need it to be known this thing is the future, just trust me and get it

Great - when it stays intact

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2024

Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

I've been through 2 of these handles. First one lasted two years then came loose where the head attaches, changing the sound and thus the vibration.

The second one broke just the other day (normal use, always use case when traveling) under one year of use. I've submitted for a warranty replacement, no answer on that just yet.

Might be better to try a cheaper model, had one of the original ones for years without issue. Thought upgrading would be a good idea, maybe not.
