20 Best Electric Toothbrush For Receding Gums (Jan 2023 Update)

I have purchased 4 childrens toothbrushes, and 3 adult toothbrushes and they are all a hit. Helps clean teeth better and gums and whitens teeth also. Do not need to use much toothpaste either. I highly recommend for all. Ease of use. Wish the price of the replacement brushes were lower however. Thank youDebbie W.

Triple Bristle Toothbrush is EXACTLY the kind of hygiene care I have been searching for in my whole life. I had serious gum erosion in my 20s that a dentist said I could lose my teeth by the age of 30!!! It scared the bejesus out of me and have been vigilant with dental care ever since. The brush envelops my teeth and relieves tension in my mouth. I highly recommend this product to any one that seriously cares about the well being of their teeth!.Agnes M.

As a parent of a child with severe Autism proper brushing is a real challenge. We got the duo for my husband, a single adult size for my son who is 16, and the kid's version for my 8-year-old. We will never go back to traditional brushing. These are the best toothbrushes ever. My husband raves about how clean. his mouth feels.Lissette G.

My husband, daughter and I have been using Philips Sonicare Toothbrushes for a couple of decades now. The dental tech always praises me for having so little plaque and for brushing so well! The handle's battery life is excellent … Goes for a long time between charges, and, the handles last for several years. I've never replaced one because of failure, only because it was taking longer to charge, and the charge wasn't lasting as long – lasting a couple of weeks instead of a couple of months. My one and only complaint is that they've discontinued the compact heads. My daughter and I have small mouths, and the compact heads were GREAT for better maneuverability in those tight spaces in the back!!CrazyOldNana

This is the best brand of electric toothbrushes, hands down. Many dentists recommend Sonicare and every one of their toothbrushes works great. I have one of the older, basic varieties and have been using it for years, it really does cut down on frequent visits to the dentists for fillings. I bought one for every member in my family and noticed a difference in the first four months of using this. No more cavities for us! It also does a great job at keeping plaque and gingivitis at bay. I highly recommend these toothbrushes.eva.h

I have had my for probably ten years now. Previously I had been using an older Sonicare, and I’m definitely going to buy another once this one stops working. I get compliments on my oral hygiene from the dental hygienist, which is nice. The more time you spend taking care of your teeth, the less time you have to spend in the dentist chair! The vibration from the Sonicare helps to remove debris from my teeth as well as partially in between my teeth. And that same vibration helps stop a bad habit I have with regular toothbrushes: pressing too hard on my teeth when brushing. You can’t do that with a Sonicare because the vibration from the brush head on your teeth is downright unpleasant. The battery on my Sonicare lasts forever and it charges back up quickly. Brush heads can be found at [brand:costco] and are a great deal there even if there isn’t currently a sale on them. I don’t have a single bad thing to say about my !d.s

I'm rating the DiamondClean as a 3 because I've owned 3 in the last 5 years. I'm a long time user of Sonicare toothbrushes (at least 20 years); We used to use another brand and the Sonicare toothbrush is far superior and my dentist is always complementing my teeth and gum health. My first experience was the e series – expensive replacement brushes, bulky…Then My husband bought the next series – not sure which it was but I used it for 10~15 years; the handle grip rubber started to peel off..so My husband bought me the DiamondClean; black, sleek, sexy, came with a glass charger and a travel charger kit – Loved it however after only 1.5 years of use the tip started to wobble; I called Sonicare and they sent me a replacement – I was happy for about 2 more years – then a few months ago, It just stopped working. I'm not sure why, my guess is the lithium ion rechargeable battery wore out. (I read on line lithium ion rechargeable batteries last about 5 years – mine lasted only 2) I called Sonicare and they told me my warrenty would not be honered on the replacement date and the origional purchase date was out of warrently. They gave me a 15% off coupon however when I went to their website I saw there was a 15% off sitewide so my special coupon did not seem very special. I was so unhappy, the idea of spending so much for another sonicare toothbrush (plus the cost for additional replacement heads every 3 months) seemed irresponsible; not to mention…brushing manually made me feel really spoiled. To my surprise, my husband bought me a new DiamondClean classic edition toothbrush for my birthday. I could not be happier; I tore open the box and ran to plug it in to start charging it…I also registered it right away – a 2.5 year warranty. Technically speaking the idea of spending so much every 2.5 years – really seems excessive. My big question to Sonicare is, what was wrong with the first rechargeable battery that lasted 10+ years. My 2nd question is; why not make it easy to replace the darn lithum ion rechargeable battery or at the very least provide a replacement battery service. Clearly, the Sonicare toothbrush is one of the best brushing experiences anyone will have. Why not make the product experience just as nice; or extend the warranty to 5 years. I was so on the fence; already searching for a competitor product that might last longer. Luckily my husband came in and saved the day… I can tell you this much -we can't afford to purchase these for our teenagers. Could you imagine the cost? Every 2.5 years…JP-99

I love how clean my teeth feel after using. I was having tremor issues using a manual toothbrush and decided to try an electric toothbrush. My dentist recommended Sonicare. Does take a bit of getting used to buzzing sound and sensation, unlike manual brush. And, unlike the directions, it took longer than 24 hours the first time for the charging light to stop blinking. I do think the glass charger is a bit over the top–a simple base would have been adequate. However, I love that I was able to obtain a charging carry case for trips away from home. Overall, I am hooked on using Sonicare!Lita1710

This toothbrush is great! My daughter is 4 years old, on the spectrum, and is OBSESSED with Diana. Teeth brushing is a struggle in our house (as it is with most toddlers) and it is exacerbated by her sensory sensitivities. I've been wanting to try an electric toothbrush on my daughter for a while but I knew that she would either hate it or love it. She is half sensory seeker & half sensory avoider, so I never know how it is going to go. Well, it went great! At first she was really hesitant but the Diana graphic inspired her to try it. I turned it on, and she held it, the slowly put it toward her mouth, and it was love on first contact! She has not put it down since. I love how much more effective it feels when I brush her teeth compared to manually brushing. I especially love how inspired she is to brush her teeth on her own now that she enjoys the sensory input of the Spinbrush. The price is also just right to take a risk to try it out. One issue we have had with the Spinbrush is that the on/off buttons are hard sometimes for my daughter to push. Overall, I would still highly recommend trying this Spinbrush out.MamaBear34

This toothbrush is great! My 6 yr old son was super excited to use this as the design is pretty cool- it has clear outer packaging to show the inner mechanisms as it brushes. The only downside is you can't see it while brushing so definitely have them check it out prior to toothpaste loading or you'll have a mess! Anyway, it works as expected, has an on/off switch button, bristles are soft (dentist said best for kids), and brush head has 2 different moving parts for effective cleaning. My big thing that took away a star is that the brush head is quite large. It says for ages 3+, however, my 6 year old has a hard time using it and getting all of the teeth because it is so huge and clunky in his mouth as do we (a parent still brushes his teeth once a day, per dentist, and even we have a difficult time using it when it's our turn). So I probably wouldn't recommend for the younger ones but it's a great toothbrush if you're good with a bigger brush head size.Rachelle25

This spinbrush is an electric toothbrush specially designed for kids. The bristles are soft and divided into 2 sections. The top section of bristles on the spinning head oscillates and the lower section of bristles are stationary. The spinning action is gentle and still fast enough to clean the teeth and the gums for kids. The toothbrush handle is large so children can have a good and comfortable grip. The buttons are easy to turn on and off. The toothbrush needs one AA battery that is included. I like that the battery is replaceable, so the toothbrush can last longer even if the battery dies. This is a good electric toothbrush to try, when your child is ready to transition from manual toothbrush to a powered one.TechGuy

I received this product for free from Tryit and below is my experience & feedback of the Oral B IO Series 4 LUXE rechargeable toothbrush. It has a very stylish clean look and a sleek matte black travel case. It comes with a white charging stand. The Oral B IO is water resistant to rinse under the faucet but not to be emerged in water. It has a timer and pacer to help you brush you teeth for the recommended time. It has a pressure sensor that changes colors, to help you to know if you are using enough pressure to get your teeth clean. There is 3 pressure sensor colors white, green and red. White means not enough force is being applied. Green means the right amount of pressure is being used. Red means excessive pressure is being applied. The round brush head cleans your teeth very well and with the right amount of pressure to make sure you are removing plaque and other things from your teeth and gums. My mouth felt refreshed and clean after using the toothbrush. The design of the packaging is very sleek and modern looking. I like that the packaging includes the cleaning modes. The packaging is sturdy and very eye appealing. Most of the box is also recyclable which is great for the environment. It also has Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to connect to your Smart phone. So I guess that makes it a smart toothbrush. Lol. The only thing, I didn’t like was when I looked at the replacement brush heads prices they are more expensive than a lot of others. They also require a certain type of brush head, not like other Oral-B brushes which are interchangeable. The IO is a good quality product.Sunflower13

I would have to say that The iO is one of Oral-B’s best technology. It's "clinically proven" to remove 500% more plaque. It's gentle along your gumline compared to a manual toothbrush. You, learn how to better brush your teeth. It is a simple and helpful teacher. This is real-time personalized coaching from a superb tool. The app shows your daily brushing report so you can keep up with your brushing. Having a 4 brush mode is nice. You, get Daily Clean, Whiten, Sensitive, and Super Sensitive. With the round head and gentle micro-vibrations, the magnetic interaction delivers smooth, harmonious motion through a synchronized cleaning action. It has a built-in-2-Minute timer that ensures an even easier experience, helping you get an optimal clean on all your teeth. The Oral-B's quadrant timer breaks the two minutes up into four 30-second intervals to clean each quadrant of your mouth; we keep the time, so you don’t have to. Delivering the perfect pressure is done by having a Pressure Sensor. The Pressure Sensor Indicates optimal cleaning pressure and warns of overpressure.OB4Me

I have had multiple gum surgeries within the past four years and my dentist recommended I use an electric versus a manual toothbrush. I tried the iO Series 4 Electric Toothbrush and was most pleased with its design and performance. The brush supplied with the toothbrush performed very well and was soft and comfortable during the cleaning process. I get a real “clean feeling” after thoroughly brushing my teeth. The handle is very comfortable and its length is most functional for brushing my teeth in the back of my mouth. You have various cleaning settings and I use the “Power Cleaning” setting that allows for thorough and complete cleaning of hard-to-reach areas and removal of food particles around my gum lines. I use my iO Series 4 Toothbrush twice a day and it stays charged up for more than two weeks before it requires recharging. Connecting the electric toothbrush to my iPhone was very easy via Bluetooth was very easy and was able to track my daily teeth brushing. It has an excellent app to keep you disciplined and consistent to maintain your teeth and gums. The quality and performance of this electric toothbrush are excellent. It is by far one of the best electric toothbrushes I have ever owned. Its cleaning power and ease of use make this an excellent product. You will find after each brushing, it feels like a professional cleaning process was applied. I give the Oral B iO Series 4 Electrical Toothbrush a 5-STAR Rating.sjrpsulion

This toothbrush is surprisingly lightweight, comfortable to hold and I am in love with the lavender color. It's also so easy to assemble, charge and operate. I like thr choice of different speeds, especially the deep clean setting. I did find the brush head to be a little on the small side and thought the brush seems a bit loud while in use. I was also surprised to find that this brush had no moving or spinning parts, it only vibrates. It does have a corresponding app which I found really interesting. It's easy to install and I had no problems connecting the brush to the app via my phone. This app keeps track of how well you brush and would definitley help to ensure you get the deepest clean possible. You can also use the app to earn points to put towards rewards like new brush heads. If you're looking for brush to teach you how to brush better, easy to operate and is great at getting teeth extra clean, then the Colgate Hum is definitely worth giving a try! #HTCxhumbyColgate #gotitfreetoreview #Hometesterclubrachael.d

I bought this toothbrush at the recommendation of my hygienist. I always thought electric toothbrushes were a bit gimmicky, but she let me try this one in the practice, and said it would be good for me because I'd been over brushing with a manual toothbrush, and at my 2nd visit had been underbrushing because I was scared to add pressure. This is great because I can feel confident with how much pressure to apply and my teeth feel cleaner than ever. The app is helpful too. Not massively accurate, but helpful. I tend to just brush my teeth as normal and the check it when I think I'm done to see if it thinks I should go over any areas. Using it to brush live is extremely irritating because you can see when it gets your placement wrong, so I just prefer doing my own thing and then using it to guide my finish up. The only thing I was really disappointed by was the charging case. Given the price, I actually expected it to work like a power bank, a bit like how wireless earbuds work where the you charge the case and it holds the charge and can then charge the toothbrush on the move without wires – imagine what a handy feature that would be for travel! But I was totally wrong, it's just a cheap plastic case that you can plug in, and if the toothbrush is in the case when it's plugged in, it charges, but otherwise it's just a cheap nasty case. It kind of annoys me how it's a bit unclear what they mean by "charging case" on the listings. It doesn't even seem particularly useful. If it had a USB charger instead of s 2-pin shaver plug, that would make sense. But how is this good for charging on the go? Like, where am I going to plug this in at an airport, for example? In fact, I don't even have a 2-pin outlet in my house, so… thanks, I guess. I've had to buy an adaptor for the toothbrush just to charge it, so you missed an opportunity with this one.Beth

The Burst Sonic Toothbrush is a well-designed toothbrush for those seeking an upgrade. Included in the box is the toothbrush itself, charging base, USB wall adapter, and a sealed toothbrush head. The brush is well designed, and the grip is comfortable. USB charger allows for greater versatility when on the move. Soft, charcoal black bristles are great when paired with the impressive 33,000 vibrations/minute. Brush is advertised to remove 10x more plaque and reduce gum bleeding by 3x compared to a manual toothbrush. Battery is advertised to last one month on a charge. Vertical lights indicate three brushing modes: whitening, sensitive, and massage. Modes are cycled through by holding the power button. Whitening mode vibrates most intensely than sensitive, and massage mode quickly pulsates between high and low intensity. Toothbrush automatically shuts off after 2 minutes and pauses every 30 seconds. Feature is good for timing your brushing; however, there is no way of disabling the feature. Overall, the Burst Sonic Toothbrush is a great choice for those wanting to take their oral hygiene to the next level.vrs99

I have very sensitive teeth, and over the years have tried many different types of toothbrushes, from soft manual types to expensive sonic designs. My frustrations have always involved trying to avoid causing my gums to bleed while still getting my teeth clean and balancing the cost of the device itself and replacement heads so I’m not breaking the bank. I had largely given up and gone back to using a soft manual brush up until now with this Burst Sonic Toothbrush. I was immediately impressed with the design for the cost and was very intrigued all along by the low cost of future replacement heads that I feel are quite reasonable. Upon using the brush for the first few times I can happily say that I have had no problems with gum bleeds and my sensitive teeth have not been aggravated by it so those are big wins for me. I also feel like my teeth have been much cleaner since moving into this brush from my manual one and that is of course the whole idea behind a nice toothbrush. It has 3 modes, normal, sensitive, and massage, that are selected by holding the power button from the off state for a couple seconds to switch. It will remember that mode from then on, so you don’t have to switch every time. I honestly went straight to the sensitive mode knowing that would be best for my situation and I am thrilled with how it has performed for me. As you brush it will indicate 30 second intervals to remind you to switch inside and outside on top and bottom to help ensure you’ve brushed long enough and covered everything, which seems to be standard for a sonic brush in my experience. Charging is done with the included induction dock and usb power supply and has an advertised battery life that should last quite a long time. I used it right out of the box without charging it and it worked great. I like that it is black which will look nice longer than white ones have in the past for me as they typically start to yellow over time. You can register the product on their website which will give you a 1-year warranty, and if you choose to subscribe to 12-week replacement head shipping from Burst they will offer a lifetime warranty on the handle. It’s a nice way to keep on track with replacing heads when you should and earning some peace of mind for the longevity of the device. I am impressed with Burst as a company so far and this toothbrush has solved many of the problems I have had with brushing making it much easier for me to do without pain and discomfort.Josh

What can I say, it's an electric toothbrush that does an excellent job, as advertised. The toothbrush head has a charcoal coating that is supposed to help with cleaning the teeth. I don't know the exact science behind it, but after using the Burst electric toothbrush, my mouth/teeth feel very clean. I have another electric toothbrush, but this one has become it's replacement. This toothbrush has three modes, whitening, sensitive, and massage. I prefer the whitening mode. This toothbrush is supposed to last a month on a single overnight charge. So far I've gone a week and still no need to charge. My old electric toothbrush would only last four to five days. When you start this toothbrush it has some sort of timer that repeats itself. So basically it divides your brushing into 4 zones. Once it stops you should have completed brushing your teeth. They recommend replacing the toothbrush head every 12 weeks. I looked into the price of replacement heads that are Burst brand and they are going for about $25 for three. There are cheaper alternatives, but after reading the reviews for those products it doesn't seem like they are the same quality. One other thing to note is that it does not come with a travel case, but you can buy it separately. Likes: 1.) Teeth feel really clean after using it 2.) About one month use on a single charge 3.) Divides your brushing into timed zones. Dislikes: 1.) Replacement heads are expensive 2.) Does not come with a travel casekwilks3

Cons: doesn’t clean well, tartar buildup, yellowing is building up Pros: Compact sleek design, soft bristles Background: I’ve had an oral b electric toothbrush for years. Keeps my teeth clean, did the switch finally after for years and my teeth are starting to yellow, as well tartar buildup. I’ve been using the Green toothbrush 24/7 for 2 months and it just doesn’t do the job. To late for me to return it since I would use this for traveling. You would be better off just getting any cheap toothbrush on the market (non-electric) for what this toothbrush delivers. I’m bummed because I would have loved to have a new toothbrush design.Teethrescue

WOW I drink coffee, tea, and smoke occasionally. My teeth were starting to show it. Soent so much money on whitening toothpaste and strips with eh so so results. first use and I was shocked and amazed at the difference. Using Colgate Total with charcoal toothpaste as well. It does tickle my upper teeth and its so quiet in operation. After 2-3 days I didn't notice the tickle as much 🙂 Im kicking myself for not doing a before picture of my teeth, but will do a morning brush after coffee before/after. Its that noticable. They are so white and healthy looking now! After just a week! Sonic makes a huge difference.Kristine

You guys I have found a toothbrush that works well for me to be honest I bought it on clearance because I really got tired of my Old toothbrush with a circle head.. I just felt like it never brushed my teeth properly, and they still felt dirty. Now the gleem toothbrush is perfectly slim for my small hands, feels very elegant and well designed! I feel like my teeth are always brushed so well as if I just left the dentist. There are only two setting for speed and im 100% ok with that because I hate brushes that have like 6 and I only use one of them. So the rest I feel are pointless. Even thought I bought it on a clearance after using it I realized I would pay full price when it comes to changing it! I bought me and my husband toothbrushes for 2 for $120 so paying $50 is cheaper and it works much better in my opinion.viktoriya.b

The young lady at the Lloyds counter was totally incompetent. We had to wait a long time whilst she wandered around, with no idea, looking for the order of the lady in front of us. She then involved the pharmacist and they both looked around before finding her package next to the counter. We then had to experience that same chaotic search, where she clearly had no idea what she was doing, before finding our package. At one stage she asked us ‘is it a fridge item?’- when it was a toothbrush!!! What a complete disaster. I do not suppose that you will wish to record this abysmal experience. It would be nice to hear from you with your reaction to this poor customer experience but I will not hold my breath.Matthew

Electric toothbrush is really amazing, this is beautifully made in fact created. Good cleaning and looks amazingly smart. Works really well. Love the travel case. Some of the main features are. Oral-B 3D Technology movement: Round toothbrush head oscillates, rotates and pulsates to break up 100 Percent more plaque vs manual toothbrush. • Protect your sensitive gums: Visible gum pressure sensor reduces brushing speed & alerts if you brush too hard. • Three cleaning brushing modes: Daily clean, sensitive, whitening. • Oral-B is the no 1 brand: Used by dentist professionals & approved by the Oral Health FoundationIncludes. • 1 electric toothbrush handle with charger 2 pin UK plug. • One toothbrush head. • One standard travel case. Highly recommended!!! Can’t wait to take this with me on holidays.Sara

I bought this a while back and have never looked back. This one of the best Oral-B pro3 cross action i have used. My teeth have never looked so good. I have been ill the last few years and the medication really showed on my teeth very upsetting. Untill i got this toothbrush it did cost a lot at the time but well worth it my teeth now are looking feeling so much nicer. Took a few weeks to get the resulits i was wishing for but could see a difference after a few days. So clean bright healthy looking whole mouth feels fresh clean. Friends and family have all noticed the change thinking i had had treatment from my dentish. My dentist even said how good they are looking so i know this toothbrush hs to be the best.well worth the money. Love the case it comes in and you can charge it up from the case so no leaving your toothbrush standing in open air. Has all different way to brush different programs to suit your needs. If you have senertive teeth has a soft feather like motion fast hard movement to get into the teeth has a pressure control technology to be soft of your gums and will let you know if your pressing down to much a light will appear at the top so you can see it when brushing. This toothbrush has really given me more confedence as my teeth nned to be looked after the best i can, so getting a new tooth brush each time a new modle comes out yes i will get it if possible my teeth are the first thing people see as you meet up so they have to look the best. I recommend this to everyone so good it will not let you down.. Was not the first time i used this i bought it myself a while back good money spent well . Will save up for the next one i am thinking very soon i do hope. I do hope others get this i know they wont be dissapointed one bit.Lynn

I had a Philips electric toothbrush for literally 10 years. It was SUCH a work horse! I absolutely LOVED it! When I wore through the rubber on/off switch I had to break down and get a new one and I don't like change! But I researched the entire Philips line and opted for the cleanest, simplest replacement. The handle is much smaller in diameter than my old toothbrush, so it doesn't feel quite as "sturdy," but so far so good! My next electric toothbrush purchase from Philips is going to be a brush with stronger cleaning power. My current brush is 2x's the cleaning power of a normal toothbrush, but I would like to step it up. I just don't want a complicated toothbrush. Life is too complicated as it is! Oy vey! Any suggestions, Philips customer service team?Thayer

This is my first time using a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. In the past, I have used both another brand of electric toothbrushes and manual toothbrushes. I found the Sonicare to be superior for cleaning my teeth and gums. Here's why: The first thing that I love about this toothbrush is the QuadPacer. This function gives a signal at every 30 second interval that alerts me to move to another section of my mouth. I found this feature to be helpful in ensuring that I dedicated an equal amount of time to each section for thorough cleaning. Secondly, compared to past toothbrushes, the Sonicare gave me a more noticeable, smoother clean along my teeth surface and gumline. I could run my tongue along the surface and it almost felt as smooth as a professional dental clean. I found this very hard to achieve with manual toothbrushes. Another feature I loved was how small, yet effective the brush head was. Manual toothbrushes can be quite bulky which makes it hard to reach my back teeth. This was something my dentist cautioned me about in the past, since I am someone with healthy wisdom teeth intact. The Sonicare was able to effortlessly reach my back teeth and left the surfaces feeling just as smooth and tended to as the rest of my teeth. The last positive feature for me was the battery life and portability. Upon receiving the toothbrush, I charged it overnight. By the next day it was fully charged and I was able to use it for a full 2 weeks at least, without needing to recharge. As someone who likes to travel, this is a plus for me. The toothbrush head also comes with its own cover which I loved for keeping it sanitary. My only critique is that, while the toothbrush is gentle, yet effective in thoroughly cleaning my teeth and gums, I found that the brush head by itself was not effective as a tongue cleaner. I always felt that my tongue was not thoroughly clean after brushing, so I used the toothbrush in conjunction with my tongue cleaner to keep bad breath at bay. In summary, Sonicare uses gentle strokes and pulses to clean the teeth which I found to be highly effective and felt as though I got a better clean than with my previous toothbrushes. However, the brush head alone was not effective as a tongue cleaner so I would recommend using one in conjunction with the Sonicare for adequate tongue care. *Disclaimer* I received this product for free as part of a product test. However, this is my honest opinion.ZenHFH

I ended up liking this Sonicare brush better than I thought I would. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of these two minor reasons: (1) the brush head is a bit smaller than I would like – it reminds me of a child toothbrush size – and (2) the toothbrush stops going after the two minute timer runs out – sometimes that's not long enough for me. Otherwise, it's great! It has a neat small footprint on my countertop. It stays charged for a long time between charges. I don't keep mine plugged into the wall all the time. When it runs out of power, it gives a warning beep so you'll know to plug it in again. The brush bristles are very soft, which is how they should be. The brush and charger-holder are easy to keep clean. After use I just rinse the whole thing well, wipe dry with a towel, and place back on the holder. The two-minute quadrant timer comes in handy, though I wish it didn't just stop after two minutes as I like to brush a little longer. No worries though, just turn it on again. I have not had a dentist clean my teeth since I bought this, but am looking forward to a good checkup. Have used my brush for several weeks now and would highly recommend it!JupiterBlue

Oral-B Replacement for older Oral-B which would not recharge after many years. Pleased with the new Oral-B Vitality (my wife is using the previous Oral-B Vitality I had purchased from Pharmapacks).George

I’ve been using an Oral B electronic toothbrush for 18 years until it finally started losing it’s charge. I bought Oral B Vitality and it cleans my teeth even better. When I’m finished I can’t feel any plaque on my teeth at all. I also like the fact that I can choose different toothbrush heads that Oral B makes. I gave it 4 stars because it’s not as sleek as my old one.Seahawaks

This is the third Oral B electric brush I buy for myself, so I obviously like the product. The bad news is that it's the 3rd in a span of 6 years, so it lasts about 3 years which seems short. The issue is the same: despite the hermetic manner in which it's built with multi-material extrusions, the handle ends up leaking water into its electronic core. While using my first set I kept the brush on the handle after each use. When that handle failed and I realized water was the problem, for the new set I began removing the brush every time and setting it aside. Also, I dried the handle after each use and wash. The handle failed recently and I decided to open it to see why. Again, I noticed a small amount of fluid inside (viscous water). The first set I didn't need to open, it was obvious that there was water inside. This time not so, but still the durability not much better than set #1. For set #3 I'm doing the same process as #2 with the addition of not turning the handle upside up until I have it dried up. Minor change and I don't expect much improvement. I think the issue is water penetration while in use with the shaft oscillating. I'm also trying to devise a jig that will allow me to turn the whole set upside down and have the handle be charged in that position, sothe handle, except when in use is always upside-down and taking advantage of gravity to move water down & out rather than in.guasca

I picked this toothbrush up a few weeks ago just to try an electric toothbrush and I have not been upset with the quality of the toothbrush and the fresh clean feeling I get after every brush of my teeth. So far, I have had great results at deep cleaning of the plaque at my gum line. I have a permanent retainer on the top and bottom of my teeth and this toothbrush has effectively cleaned around it without a problem. Although I am really enjoying this electronic toothbrush, I had to get use to the vibration because I do suffer from sensitive teeth. This was something that was easy to overcome after the first couple times of use. I highly recommend giving this toothbrush a try. Not great for cleaning your tongue. That is the only downfall.MalikaWood64

An electric toothbrush of this caliber comes with quite a few bells and whistles. There are so many features I love about it. With personalized coaching, my teeth receive effective cleaning in real-time. In addition, it has an App that shows me my daily brushing report, four Brush Modes daily clean, whiten, sensitive, and super sensitive, an intelligent pressure sensor, and Bluetooth connectivity. Using the built-in 2-minute timer, I thoroughly cleaned my teeth for 30 seconds for each corner of my mouth. I like how easy it is to use the toothbrush and how fresh my mouth feels after using it. With the Oral-B toothbrush, I receive the Oral-B iO4 Electric Toothbrush, an ultimate clean replacement brush head, a travel case, and a charger. Other than the toothpaste I wanted to use, it had everything I needed. I would recommend this product to all my family and friends. I am satisfied with this product.fran1978

I bought this about 2 months ago and was excited to have the capability of detecting when I push too hard on the toothbrush. I found out that I am not a major offender and it happens less than 2% of the time. Pros: The unit indicates when I push to hard with I am brushing. Cons: the brush body gets very slippery when the saliva migrates down the brush to the body of the brush. Sometime I can barely hold onto the brush. The brush heads are only effective for about a month for me. After 3 weeks I begin to notice that my teeth don't feel as clean as the day goes on. After 4 to 5 weeks, I can notice the difference right after brushing. I change the brush head and everything returns to Clean and Fresh. I bought a two pack of the brushes, so I could leave one of the brushes in my travel kit. The toothbrush in my kit lost the full charge in less than 6 weeks and I was very surprised when I tried to turn on the brush while visiting my sons house. When I brush without using the App, the saliva and toothpaste mixture keeps onto the brush while I brush. It gets to the point where I obscures the display that tells me when I have completed the 2 minutes. It would be nice if the brush generated a different tone, or pause when I hit the 2 minute threshold. The app is a good idea, but I have to stand straight up while brushing in order for the sensors to detect the area that I am brushing. When I stand straight up I tend to express more saliva/toothpaste mixture onto the brush.WhaleWatcher

This is a great brush, it really is. The clean feeling it gives is so satisfying. Unfortunately this one, like every single other Sonic brand brush we've ever had, breaks down within the first year and has to be returned for a replacement. The fault is always the same – the metal strut onto which the brush head fits eventually fails, gradually slipping its gears internally each time the brush head is removed and becoming loose. Only the fact that the clean these brushes give is unmatched by any other brush (we've tried them all) keeps us coming back. That said, this is an issue that's been going on for years with seemingly no effort from Philips to correct it.EmbraAgain

Having used a variety of toothbrushes in the past i can firmly say this is the best by far. The product comes with a carry case a four heads ideal those on the go. The toothbrush base can be charged within the vase itself or with the sleek charging stand provided. The most surprising and notable feature is the Bluetooth connectivity. This allows the brush to connect to a mobile app which can be downloaded for free. The app itself is fairly basic but provides useful insights such as brush times and frequency to reflect your daily routine. The app or Bluetooth connectivity is by no means needed but these features have bought the humble toothbrush to the modern age. The toothbrush also has 4 cleaning modes. Each mode differs in intensity and duration allowing different types of cleaning. The battery life is fantastic. Since receiving the product, using twice a day 2 minutes at a time, over a week later still not had to recharge. Cant ask for anything more. The brush being waterproof there no need to worry about the battery or the electronic inside. One of the things i believe that is missing for this product is the lack of a power pack within the carry case. eve though you can charge through the carry case attached to a mains' socket, there is no on the go charging inside the case. This is a very minor nitpick for an overall fantastic product.99Fix

Once again Phillips well done for such a fabulous product. Sleek design, user friendly, lots of different settings and speeds which really helps with my sensitivity! I had the earlier model previously, and that was good, therefore decided to buy the newer one. This is even better. You even can download an app for this brush! Love the chargeable box it comes with and the spare brush heads. This brush also has a display to let you know when it needs charging which is an added bonus as I always used to forget! Love this product. Would definitely recommend.Gobit

I Love that this comes in pink. Sonicare doesn’t have the most colorful or fun options when it comes to their line of electric toothbrushes. So when I saw this one in pink I was so excited. I also love the pressure sensor since I’ve always pushed too hard so now I have receding gums on over half of my teeth. So this had been a helpful tool. Also, the battery lasts a REALLY long time. With my previous electric toothbrush (it wasn’t a Philips Sonicare one), it had to sit on the charger at all times because otherwise the battery would die. I didn’t have room for a charger to sit on my bathroom countertop since the space is already limited so I thought this toothbrush would be better since the charger is so small. It was a nice surprise when I realized that I don’t even need the charger out on the counter 24/7 because it stays charged for a few weeks at a time! I also love the sensor that tells you when it’s time to change out you’re toothbrush head. Overall this is a really nice toothbrush and it has a lot of features that are really nice to have. The pink color is almost a pastel color which I also love! I hope Sonicare keeps coming out with new designs and colors, etc. The only reason why I decided to purchase a Philips Sonicare toothbrush is because my dentist kept telling me at EVERY single visit that I needed to get a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I’d never had one before and I really liked the electric toothbrush I was using at the time. My dentist would always tell me how much better it is compared to every other brand out there, etc. I thought that if the toothbrush had the word Sonicare or Sonic that it was the same as the Philips Sonicare but he informed me that they are not the same and to make sure it’s a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I kept putting it off until the day he told me that he can tell the second he looks in someone’s mouth is they are using a Philips Sonicare toothbrush or another brand. I have a really awesome dentist and he’s always in top of the latest literature and guidelines, etc. He does both cosmetic dentistry and regular dentistry too. He owns his own practice (two of them actually) and he doesn’t hire other dentists, it’s just him. He cares and has always been upfront and honest with me from day 1. He doesn’t try to upsell you or tell you something’s wrong when it’s not. He’s talked me out of doing Zoom whitening in his office many times because he doesn’t think my teeth look as bad as I do. So I 100% trust him. He’d been telling me to get a Philips Sonicare toothbrush for so long, so I finally decided to make the switch (primarily because of what he’d told me that day – that he could tell which patients of his brush with a Philips Sonicare and which do not). I’m so glad I made the switch. I’ll never go back to any other brand. This toothbrush definitely brushes a lot better – you can feel the difference when you turn on a Philips Sonicare toothbrush and compare how it feels (dry and using your hands) to another brand – you can feel a major difference just from touching them with your finger. I wish I would’ve switched sooner. If you’re reading this, trust me on this one, you’ll regret not buying it sooner so get one as soon as you can. Your teeth and mouth will be grateful! The only thing that I can think of when it comes to negatives/room for improvement (besides the lack of color options) would be also the lack of different styles. They all have the same shape and general look to them. It would be nice if they had for ex: a really slim one (that’s what I liked about my last toothbrush) or a small one (not a travel one which they already have) but just one that’s a lot smaller but still has the same functions as the big ones – I’d totally buy a new one if they came in a smaller version (as long as they had it in pink or violet, etc.). They should do a collaboration with Hello Kitty! If they ever do, I hope they not only do the usual red Hello Kitty look but and a pink Hello Kitty too. And lastly, these are noisy – mine is anyways. So I wish they were a lot quieter. Otherwise these are amazing and I agree with my dentist on this one – Philips Sonicare is the very BEST of the best when it comes to the electric toothbrush!ILoveMyPINKSonicare.

This product should come with better instructions in the box rather, than and a one sheet pictorial representation which seems to be a little different to the product. In my case, image 13 on the pictorial seemed to show that there are three LED’s to show differing levels of charge status but on the product itself there is only one LED for this. I had to telephone Philips to find out the meaning of the displays from the single LED and, in so doing, got pointed in the direction of a 64 page user manual on their website which gave the information on how to decipher the various phases of flashing lights. I realise that putting a user manual in the box covering all languages would be a bulky document but there must be a way of producing a manual in the official language of a particular market. Additionally, replacement toothbrush heads for G3 sensitive gums in black HX9054/06 are shown in the Philips online shop as being “no longer available” – see photo. Using the website’s “Find the toothbrush head that is best for you – Go to advisor” function and selecting G3 Premium Gum Care only brings up one option which is in white. I had to telephone Philips to query this and was given a different code HX9054/33 which the online advisor does not show. The website toothbrush head finder needs to be kept up-to-date by (1) not showing products “no longer available” e.g. HX9054/06 but (2) showing those which are e.g. HX9054/33. Furthermore, when trying to find my toothbrush on the Philips online system I type in the code on the bottom of my product which is HX680B but that is not recognised. The website needs to recognise all of your product codes.Boroman

I've used Sonicare for around 20 years and over the last few years had bought the cheaper Sonicare around £100, but that one has failed twice in the last 12months (terrible battery life and motor went funny when brushing). So I decided to go for a slightly more expensive one and it was worth every penny. The handle is much sturdier and feels nicer to hold, the motor seems stronger and smoother and the battery life is much better. Having the clean/gum/white option is great too. I was also advised by my dentist to remove the head after every brushing and not leave it on the handle. I never charge with the head on either. A great toothbrush, really pleased.becs

Was in the market for a new electric toothbrush after mine broke, but didn't want to spend a fortune. Settled on the Pro 600 after reading some good reviews online and it hasn't disappointed so far! I like the charging light indicator and the ergonomic handle, it has good grip which is good for those with motor issues. Would recommend!JammySammy

I have bought 3 different electric toothbrushes over the last couple years and have been thoroughly disappointed. So I have reverted to the first one I ever bought. This brush is perfect. Warning light when charging is needed and indeed when charging is finished. Very easy to keep clean and much better speed. Ergo dynamic design is lovely making the brush easy to hold. It is much more durable than any of the newer designs I have used. I shall stick with this one now.auntypatra

I have used this model of toothbrush before. It does a good job and the red warning light, which comes on when brushing too hard, is a good feature. The mechanics inside it are sound. It has been reliable, but its only failing is the capacity of the re-chargeable battery which, over time (years) ceases to hold a charge. When the battery is dead for good, it is very difficult to replace – I know, I have tried. In fact no Braun Oral B toothbrush seems to have been designed with the replacement of the battery in mind, but that is a common problem other makes of rechargeable toothbrush also.pgl_1963
