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

The toothbrush exceeded all expectations after the first use. Feels like a professional cleaning. My teeth are clean, smooth, and shiny. The whitening effect became noticeable on the third day of use. I am sure that my visits to the dentist will become less frequent. Value for money is all about this product. The process of ordering, payment, and delivery was simple and just excellent. I am satisfied and will definitely recommend Sonicare to anyone who cares about the health of their teeth and oral cavity.Xu000

This toothbrush does clean well. It has a few other modes which I believe they suggest getting different brush heads for. I've only used the standard clean mode. I feel like the brush is too powerful. The instructions state you should be able to change the vibration when using it by pressing the mode button but….when I do that it doesn't seem to change at all. Occasionally the brush has slipped from my hand while brushing and the neck of the brush rattling against my teeth is not pleasurable at all. You really need to stay focused while using this brush to avoid the shaft of the brush hitting your teeth while brushing.Kam71

My teeth were hurting so bad a couple of months ago that I thought that I had a mouth full of cavities. I made a dentist appointment and it turned out that I didn’t have any cavities. The dentist said that I was brushing my teeth so hard that my gums were receding! They suggested that I switch to an electric toothbrush. I paired that with sensitive toothpaste and I’m no longer in pain. I chose the 5100 model because it had 3 modes: clean, white and gum care. Clean mode is the standard 2 min, White mode says it is for removing surface stains and is a little longer at 2 1/2 min, and the Gum Care mode that I’ve been using is 3 minutes, it’s the standard 2 minutes but then an extra minute at a lower power to gently massage gums. My teeth and gums feel great since I started using this Sonicare 5100.christina.c

I have been a long time user of the Philips Sonicare line of powered toothbrushes. I was recommended by my Dentist about 17+ years ago to procure an electronic toothbrush to improve my oral health. Originally used the battery-operated Oral-B brand rotational brushes, but quickly switched over to the Sonicare line and I've never looked back. A version of the Sonicare toothbrush has been at my side and has travelled the world, but there has been one part of that experience that I am glad this new version has fixed. You see, the older Sonicare line toothbrushes all used a 110v charger, which meant I had to carry a 220/110v step down transformer anytime I went into Asia or Europe. Sure the battery may last 2 weeks on a full charge but anything longer and you are going to need to do a charge mid-trip. The new model fixed that issue with a slick USB charging ability. USB charging is kind of ubiquitous these days and I am glad that this new toothbrush has the ability. Slow as it may be, I rather have USB charging over not being able to charge abroad. Besides the USB charging feature, the new 4100 version has some neat features that my old toothbrush does not. Sure, the quad pacer and 2-minute timer were always there in the older models, but the new model features the ability to adjust the intensity of the brush head, an easy start for new users, a brush head replacement tracking feature with brush sync, and a pressure sensor that gives you immediate feedback that you may be using too much hand pressure. The Philips Sonicare 4100 toothbrush as an update to the old Sonicare line is much overdue. I like the fact that they have moved away from the e-series brush heads which were on the cheapest toothbrushes to the newer style brush heads. The brush head style change has fixed a few issues, one you do not have the bacteria repository that the e-series brush heads have which require frequent cleaning of the ‘well’ where the brush head sits. The new design allows you to move to different style brush heads, as it's no longer just the ‘standard head’. Should you need a quick change, there are more options for brush heads on this newer style than the older e-series. How is it to use you ask? Well, the first few times you turn it on, it would run a lower intensity brush head for you to get used to the sensation of using a sonic toothbrush, this feature was in my older models, but the ability to turn it off was not. I found the battery life isn't bad, though specs state the battery would last 28 brush sessions twice a day, which means a 14-day battery life. I for one think that is quite underestimated, as my older brushes would easily run 3+ weeks before running out of battery life. I haven't used this one long enough to see what the battery life would be like. The build quality of the toothbrush is excellent, and I would think it would last longer than the warranty provided. That said, my older brushes have run 5+ years each before needing replacements on the handle. So if you are looking for an electronic toothbrush for yourself or someone in your life, I would not hesitate to recommend Sonicare. As a long time user, I am glad to see a new model is out for the masses at a price that is affordable. Sonicare toothbrushes definitely have helped keep my oral health in check, and I can now have that warm winning smile without the tinge of hesitation.TheStigenator

First impression: My first impression of the Philips Sonicare 4100 is that it is well made, sturdy, well documented, and easy to use. It comes with the toothbrush, a hygienic head cap, a well written user manual, and a USB cable. Some models come with a travel case, but the 4100 does not. It does not come with a power adapter for charging, only a USB cable. At first, I thought this was odd, but I looked and I have 8 unused power adapters in a drawer. So, in reality, I don’t need the adapter. Plus, in my bathroom, the AC wall plate has USB charging connections, so I wouldn’t need one anyway. If you do need a power adapter, reach out to them and they will send you one. I’m very impressed with the user manual. It is small enough to easily store in a bathroom drawer, but big enough to easily read. And unlike the typical, poorly translated manuals that seem to be the norm, this manual was very well written, covering all the topics in easy-to-read English. It covers safety, product use, features and how to enable/disable, cleaning, and care. Well done Philips! Quality. The quality of this toothbrush is noticeable the instant you go to use it. The power button, which also controls all the features, is very solid. There is no play or movement except for pressing down. It seems like it will last the entire life of the toothbrush. There is also a pressure sensor which works really well. If you apply too much pressure, the toothbrush starts vibrating in a way that lets you know it’s not operating correctly. As soon as you lighten the pressure, the toothbrush immediately returns to normal operation. Like the manual says, let the toothbrush do the work. Performance: The toothbrush does a great job cleaning my teeth. It also does a much better job of removing food from between teeth than using a manual brush. It claims that it removes plaque 5X better than a manual toothbrush. I have no idea if that is correct, I will have to have my dentist verify that. But I can say that the Philips Sonicare 4100 does a great job at cleaning and removing food. The 4100 has a feature called EasyStart. For the first 14 uses, it starts off easier and slowly increases pressure until it reaches the normal state. This helps those with sensitive gums, as changing brushing can cause problems. The 4100 battery is supposed to last 2 weeks, 28 uses at 2-times a day. I have no idea if this is true, but after 3days of using, I can say the battery indication shows it is still full. I have a feeling it is accurate. Conclusion: If you are using a manual toothbrush, you might want to investigate this toothbrush. It does a much better job of cleaning than using a manual brush and does a great job a dislodging food remaining between teeth and gaps. It is easy to use and feels great on the gums. I highly recommend the Philips Sonicare 4100 electric toothbrush.KB4MTO

I've used many Sonicare toothbrushes over the last five years. One big problem is knowing the differences between the model lines since there's a lot of overlap. And often the "higher-end" brushes are overpriced due to features you probably don't want or care about. The 4100 series is less expensive, but still maintains all the features that matter most. It has two brushing intensity settings, a rechargeable battery that lasts weeks, a built-in two-minute timer, and is compatible with normal Sonicare brush heads. Some may complain about the lack of Bluetooth, but I really don't care if my toothbrush can talk to my phone. And I really don't need a mobile application that tracks my toothbrushing regimen. It doesn't have the newest fangled AI auto sense IQ thingy, but its basic brushing sequence is more than adequate for scrubbing and cleaning my teeth. The 4100 doesn't come with a travel case, but that may not matter to a lot of people. I would like second brush head in the box. Instead you get a flyer with a free brush head offer. If you've been considering an electric toothbrush, but were hesitant to drop $100 or more one one, the 4100 should definitely be high on your list. The 6100 series is still my go-to model. Those have a third intensity setting and can switch between tooth cleaning, whitening, and gum care brushing modes, which can be helpful for some people. But at $20-$30 less for the 4100, those are pretty nit-picky at this price point.Jaron

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

I got this after receiving a recommendation from a relative, and after about 2-3 days of use I am already seeing (and feeling) improvement with my teeth. The electric brushes I had previously were not as powerful or abrasive. This one isn't one of the uber special ones — it has one mode and that's it. That's all I really need! I noticed after the first couple of users that some of the yellowing on my teeth has eased up, but today (after drinking espresso and eating donuts), I noticed my teeth were already brighter/whiter! (Disclaimer: I do use a fluoride-free whitening toothpaste, but it has never been this effective with the electric brush I tried before or manual ones). I would recommend this to anyone who is not looking to spend $80+ dollars and/or doesn't want or need anything super fancy but would still like to see some results or get that "clean" feeling only a decent toothbrush can offer. I don't think this product would be good for children under the age of say 13 or so, especially if their gums are sensitive. The brush is very abrasive, but that's where the "clean" feeling comes from. The only "cons" I've experienced after within 72 hours of purchase is that it takes FOR. EVER. to charge (in the manual it says it can take up to 22 hours, but lasts about 10 days [with x2 a day use]). It's not really a con because the manual says overcharging this unit is impossible so you can just leave it on forever.PAMELA

I don’t like this toothbrush. I tried it for quite a while and it’s just not for me. I’ve used different brands of electric toothbrushes for years, and I just don’t like this one. It kind of feels like I put a little hand mixer in my mouth, just way too aggressive of the vibration. I’m a regular flosser, with good dental visits and this toothbrush made my gums bleed the first few times. Part of the issue is that the rotating head is just too large, but also, the motor is very loud and aggressive. One thing that is superior to my other experiences is that this one pulsates after 2 minutes but doesn’t shut off. Sometimes I like to go a little bit longer if I felt like I missed a spot. However, with this toothbrush, I found myself just hoping it was done. Another positive is that my teeth were very clean when I used it, but I couldn’t help wondering if it was causing too much harm to my gum line. I included a comparison picture so you can see the side of the toothbrush head. I might try a different style head to see if I like this toothbrush more, but as-is, I can’t use it daily.Anonymously Sarah

I used to use a combination of a manual toothbrush and a battery powered toothbrush for years until I finally decided to take a leap and purchase the Oral-B Pro 1000 rechargeable toothbrush on October 13, 2022. I started using it that night and couldn't believe how clean it got my teeth! I had a spot on my upper right tooth that had some plaque on it that the manual toothbrush just wasn't getting. Within the first use, the plaque was GONE! I will never go back to a manual toothbrush for as long as I live. If you want that "Fresh from the dentist clean" feeling everytime you brush your teeth, spend the money and get this toothbrush! I picked it up in white as well as some Equate brand replacement heads and Hello toothpaste from my local Walmart and am amazed at how much less plaque I have on my teeth as a result of using this toothbrush twice a day for two minutes! Highly recommend.cameragal24

I have already reviewed the white version, so this is the same product and just a different colour. Again, I cannot fault this product at all. The price may be too steep for some but I really think it is worth the premium price. Almost as good as a hygienist appointment! To add to the other review, it has a great interactive display which you can use to change the setting e.g from teeth to tongue brushing. I definitely recommend loading the app to track your brushing – this was especially helpful to my daughter who neglects certain areas of her mouth. It encourages her to ensure that she applies the correct pressure and gives the same brushing attention to every tooth. So instead of the usual 10 second brush, she now brushes for the full two minutes. It is not whisper quiet but it not a deafening noise either. It is easy to charge and having two brushes means I only needed one charger. Such a wonderful toothbrush and I look with envy at the newer version out!Julie

I couldn’t justify the price difference to buy the IO8, which appears to have more features, but the reviews for this IO6 were good so opted for what is still expensive for a toothbrush even at sale price of £110. I was expecting something better then my existing 5 year old 5000 series, but I wasn’t expecting this huge difference. Quieter than the old style, it vibrates away rather than rumbling. Following the 2 minute guide on the app, my teeth genuinely feel clean, proper clean all over! Note: Black and Grey have whitening function. On pink this is replaced with a second Ultra sensitive function. Must add, Staff at Fareham branch were really helpful. I opted to buy in branch after checking stock on line. If you are not fussed with fast charge, I believe this is as good as IO7/8. A 2 minute brush uses around 8-10% battery so should last 4-5 days per charge. In summary… this is not a new version of normal Oral B brushes, this is a whole new experience. Ting!MbgMark

Love it! I was a very happy Oral B user for many years. I had switched to Sonicare because I liked the way it vibrated, but never liked the brush shape. This Oral B iO is the best of both – the round brush that I'd always preferred, plus the updated vibration…er…style? The relatively small charger will be great for travelling. My teeth feel really clean, the purple is really pretty, and the timer makes cute little faces. It's just a wee bit expensive and I wish it'd been on sale, but I love the thing so oh well. I don't care about the app, so haven't tried it. The toothbrush does everything I need without it. Note: if you're switching from a different Oral B, the iO takes completely different replacement heads.lawrentienne

5 Stars! I highly recommended this rechargeable sonic toothbrush. It makes brushing your teeth fun! This is easily the most powerful toothbrush I've ever owned. If you aren’t use to this kind of power it may take a couple brushings for your mouth to get accustomed to its strong vibrations. It vibrates at up to 40,000 vibrations per minute! This rechargeable toothbrush is very light and comfortable in the hand. It’s very easy to manipulate into all the different angles required for thorough brushing of your teeth. It looks nice too. It comes with 8 individual brush heads. It offers one private brush head each member of the family and then some. It comes with the charger and a travel case too! It offers 4 modes: Clean, Soft, Whiten, and Massage. Clean is the standard mode for superior teeth cleaning. Soft is the mode that softly cleans sensitive mouths. Starting with soft mode is a good idea until you get accustomed to the strong vibrations. Whiten is the mode for cleaning, polishing and whitening your teeth. I don’t know if all the toothbrushes arrive fully charged but mine did. I highly recommend this powerful rechargeable sonic toothbrush. My teeth feel wonderful and extra clean after each brushing. If the toothbrush head touches your tongue while brushing it’s an amazing feeling you won’t soon forget!Michael

Folks, before we get into the review, please note that this review is for the AquaSonic VIBE series Ultra Whitening Electric Toothbrush, which costs 1/3 the price of more popular brands (with similar features and accessories). So, we need to keep everything in perspective. Having said that… There are now a lot of sonic toothbrushes on the market. I was never willing to spend the uber bucks that other manufacturers charged without knowing what I was in for. Not long ago I made the switch from a traditional brush to a spin brush. It made a huge difference in the brush experience. So, when I had a chance to try a sonic brush, I was really excited to do it. As with most things, there are pros and cons to the AquaSonic experience. Here’s what I found, to-date. Pros: In the box you get a case, which contains the toothbrush and two brush heads, a charging stand (proprietary but nice, as it uses an actual UL listed cord… vs. a USB-powered -micro or -C cable), two bags, each containing six replacement brush heads (eight heads in all), and instructions. Setup is simple. Plug in the charging base, pop a brush head on the toothbrush body (very easy to do), place the brush body on the charger, and wait for the LED indicator to turn from red to off. While, per the instructions, the first charge was supposed to take a full 24 hours, it only took 3 to turn from red to off. Still, I left the brush body on the charger the full 24 hrs. The brush body has an on/off switch and a mode switch. The brush provides four modes — clean, soft, and whiten (for your teeth)… and massage for your gums. Bright white LEDs indicate which brush mode you’re in. Touch the mode button one time to switch modes — very simple. Now, the brushing experience. I left the brush on the default mode (clean). At first, I was not figuratively but quite literally surprised. I didn’t know what to expect. The vibrating/tickling experience shocked me. At first I didn’t like it and was ready to pitch the brush. But, I persevered… and, the results were well worth it. Once you get past the initial sensation (who knows you might like it), brushing becomes intuitive. I brush for two minutes, minimum with my spin brush. I sing a song in my head that I know is at least two minutes. The AquaSonic VIBE has a built in timer, which is awesome. Instructions tell you to break your brush experience into quadrants in your mouth. Go over the same quadrant until the brush pauses (ever 30 seconds) and move to the next quadrant. Despite a much, much smaller and softer brush head than I’m used to using, this thing left my teeth cleaner than any brush I ever used. I was shocked at the difference. And, after using the brush, I understood why the brush heads are so soft and small. This thing is a workhorse. Softer bristles are more forgiving but just as efficient. And, a smaller brush head allows easier maneuverability and helps ensure that the plastic brush head body has less of a chance of vibrating against your teeth. When I was done brushing, I couldn’t believe the difference between the AquaSonic and my spinbrush. However, it’s not all sunshine and roses. Cons: While a nice add, the travel case doesn’t allow you to store the charging base. So, you end up with a nice case for your brush and brush heads… but, if traveling for extended periods you also have to remember to bring the charging stand. While it would’ve made the case bulkier, I would’ve preferred an all-in-one approach. Minus one star. The base’s small footprint (a pro in my book, but not in my wife’s when she’s doing her hair, etc.) has tendencies to fall over. Instructions say to leave the brush on the charger. Personally, I’m not a big fan of that either way. I don’t like to have devices charging simply for the sake of charging. So, it worked out that my wife also did not like the charging base on the bathroom countertop. She kept knocking it over. So, after fully charging the brush body, the base went into a cabinet… only to be pulled out when needed. While a con for me as it’s an inconvenience to put away the base, similar brushes have a similar base design. Also, I like the small footprint. It’s simply my wife that didn’t… so, it’s a wash. General Considerations: I’ve only used the Vibe for two days so far… so, I can’t speak to how long it holds a charge or how long brush heads last. According to the manufacturer, AquaSonic can last 4 full weeks (2 min/2x a day) on a full charge; and, each brush head lasts 4 months. Of course, this would all depend on your usage. Per the included instructions, the battery pack can be easily removed for recycling when the time comes. Also, per the manufacturer, 8 brush heads will (i.e., read ‘should’) last for over 2.5 years (again, based on your particular usage). Regarding brush head replacements, other reviewers are saying you can use similar brush heads available for (wink, wink) another major manufacturer. Recommended Purchase?: Absolutely. Maybe this is considered an entDetailzGuy

I recently received this Aqua Sonic Ultra Sonic Whitening Toothbrush. I have owned electric toothbrushes in the past but none that have ever worked this well. To be honest, I did not notice an immediate change in the appearance of my teeth but over a 10 day period of using it twice a day I noticed cleaner looking teeth, everything from a sheen to cleaning out crevices there was a noticeable difference. The brush itself has four functions: (1) Clean, (2) Soft, (3) Whiten, and (4) Massage which have a corresponding light next to each function which makes it so easy to identify which mode you are in. There is a large on and off button too. The brush has a pretty pearl like mauve or rust colored finish and is easy to handle in those hard to reach spaces. Each function is quiet which I noticed right away. The toothbrush has a 40,000 VPM ultrasonic handle and comes with eight brush heads, a wireless charging base, and one very nice travel case. This toothbrush even has a vibration timer on it that tells you when it’s time to brush a new area. The modes of operation on the handle include clean for standard brushing, soft for softer cleaning, whiten to help remove surface stains and to polish your teeth, and a massage feature to help improve gum health. This is a multi-functional ultrasonic toothbrush I believe everyone will enjoy.Pamela

I love this waterpik/toothbrush combo! When I bought it, we were in the process of moving so it went into storage for 9 months. By the time I took it out to use (over a year), the battery was completely dead, but Waterpic send me a replacement at no-charge (THANK YOU!). I use to use a separate electric toothbrush and waterpic, but this takes the cake. The size is perfect since it doesn't take up too much space on my vanity, and I appreciate the various speed settings for both functions, but most of all … the cord doesn't get twisted and goes right back into position easily. Keep inventing great products and I'll keep buying.Carolina Girl

My dentist recommended this product, said she uses one herself. I don't know if I could ever go back to needing 2 separate devices to clean my teeth. And, having the flosser work through the brush makes it much easier to to control where the stream is going. I did run into one problem: after several months, the flosser started to run by itself at random times (like the middle of the night!). I had to keep it unplugged when I wasn't using it. But I had an online live chat with a Waterpik support person, and they sent a new unit as a replacement.geo.

The Sonic-Fusion® Professional 2.0 has exceeded my expectations! The toothbrush and flosser and very powerful and left my teeth very fresh and clean. This product doesn't take up much counter space and charges quickly. I have previously used a different electric toothbrush that did not reach all of my teeth. This Waterpik toothbrush reaches the back and sides of all my teeth. I love the flosser because I honestly hate traditional flossing and this one ensures I use it daily. It does the work for you – what more could you need? So far I have been noticing that my teeth aren't as sensitive. I can consume cold/hot food and drinks. Previously I had to do avoid this due to extreme sensitivity. I like that you can choose your own water settings or cleaning modes. Brushing your teeth has never been more fun and interesting! I think it is worth the price. You get 2 amazing products in one and it will definitely last longer than a manual brush.kari89

I didn't like the reviews saying it doesn't have as much power as the rechargeable one, but I got it anyway. I disagree, great quality Duracell Rechargeable Batteries I use in everything offers just about the same effect of the rechargeable version, the general version, I know there are extremely expensive rechargeable Oral-B brushes out there. I could have used a more expensive version, I guess, but this works just fine as it is. My other brand moves in the wrong direction, causing the back of the brush to clatter hard against my teeth, here is the non-moving regular Oral-B style, identical to the rechargeable version. Note – Rechargeable batteries must be removed and recycled at Home Depot or someplace, they shouldn't be put into the garbage like normal batteries.Oceans

These tooth brushes are well built. The heads are removable and made in a standard size which makes it easy to find a replacement for them. The batteries are also removable, standard size, and easily replaced with rechargeable batteries. The only thing that could necessitate you buying another tooth brush after this one is if you lost it, or if the motor wore out. My kids have had the first set of these things that I bought for years, but one of them finally lost one, so I was super happy to see that someone was still selling these. This is the best option available for a rechargeable battery operated tooth brush on the market.iHerb Customer

Oral-B Gum Care Battery Toothbrush is such a great product! I found it very practical, easy, comfortable to hold and super effective cleaning my teeth even in the most difficult spots. The toothbrush reaches every single spot on my teeth. I love that this product comes with batteries, ready to use. I also like the vibration power of the product that makes the experience of using it very pleasant and comfortable. I truly recommend this toothbrush and I also recommend Oral-B brand because everything I own from this brand is high quality and very efficient.paulc

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

I am over the moon when it comes to the Oral B io series 7G electric toothbrush. For years I have used a basic toothbrush and after using the Oral B 7G my mind is blown. I always said i was never missing out and boy was I. This elevated my brushing to another level unlike before. I always prided myself on oral care, but now it is truly oral care when using this magnificent electric toothbrush. It truly is a smart toothbrush it notifies you when you are not applying the correct amount of pressure to your teeth. The best part is the app giving you a breakdown of the areas your are properly brushing versus the areas you may need to focus on better. The different settings for brushing are awesome as well. With so many brushing options you can't help but love this toothbrush. Awesome charging station and carrying travel case as well. I can never buy a basic toothbrush again after the clean fresh and wonderful feeling I get from the Oral B io series 7G electric toothbrush.vdcoop1981

I intended to buy the top of the line – thinking it would have different brushing power. While it has more modes and a color OLED display, io7, 8 and 9 are essentially the same – and the io7 is a bargain at 200 bucks given its power, I am a diehard Sonicare user and obsessed with devices to help keep my teeth and gums in good shape. The latest Sonicare set me back 300 bucks and it’s super, yet the Oral B just feels like a more sophisticated, modernized and effective device. I like the feedback of the LED light, the haptic nudge to guide you and the round brush. Agree with most folks that a cap for the brush would be welcome and the magnetic base works, yet wish it felt stickier. The device is easily knocked off. The travel case is OK and Sonicare has the edge with the USB charger integrated into its case – an awesome feature for traveling. A great toothbrush and maybe the best out there.evanseattle

As this is the first electric toothbrush I've tried, I've been using it daily for nearly two weeks now to give me a chance to acclimate to the differences between it and manual toothbrushes before posting my review. Unfortunately, I'm still not comfortable with the intense vibration that the oscillating head generates, even when on its slowest 'sensitive gums' setting. Because of the discomfort associated with this vibration, I might not be pressing the head strongly enough into my teeth and gums to get into the deep crevices that my manual toothbrush can reach, as it seems to often miss food particles there. Instances where the smooth plastic at the rear of the brush head comes into contact with my teeth are far more disturbing than normal contact with the bristles, and I manage to do this with every session of brushing. The fast speed of the oscillating head makes it very easy to accidentally spray saliva and toothpaste around the bathroom, which I still manage to do despite starting with the head placed against my teeth as instructed, and additionally turning the toothbrush off when switching between mouth quadrants. Despite the problems I have with this toothbrush, it does well at cleaning most areas of my teeth, and cleans the rear-facing surfaces of my teeth just as easily as other surfaces, where-as the rear surfaces have always been problematic for me with manual toothbrushes. I find the built-in 30 second quadrant and two minute session notifications to be very convenient, as I was not nearly as diligent and consistent with timing while using manual toothbrushes. It's nice to have different brushing modes available, but I wish these were more finely tunable using the associated app, especially regarding oscillation speed. The toothbrush is able to independently store information about quite a few brushing sessions, which it can then sync with the app at a later time, a very nice feature for those wanting to keep track of their brushing habits. I did not personally find the app's features to be of much use or interest, so it's not something I'd use regularly. As for unit design, the brush handle is not particularly ergonomic, but not at all cumbersome to use. The battery charging indicator light turns off when charging is complete; personally I'd prefer a solidly lit battery icon to indicate this status, but would have liked this to be configurable within the app. The tray that accommodates four brush heads–while a nice feature of the charging station–takes up a significant amount of valuable sink space; I would have preferred for this to have been a separate or detachable accessory. The contact-less charging design is a convenient feature, allowing for quick and worry-free docking, without having to worry about wiping the toothbrush and station dry beforehand. This toothbrush is well designed, easy to use, and includes many great features. Unfortunately, the intense vibration of the oscillating head is a major drawback for me personally, and I imagine will be for many other people as well.Gerbil

This toothbrush is great. Best improvement over previous versions is much longer battery life, can go an entire week brushing twice daily on one charge. The overall aethetic is also improved with a sleeker look and nice lighting pattern when powering on or off. Included travel case is also great, since the battery life is so good, there is no need to bring the charger with you for shorter trips. Bluetooth and app are nice, but after you use them once or twice, you probably won't again. I'm not sure how many people need to track the brushing habits on their phone. Once you start brushing, the brush movement pauses briefly every 30 seconds prompting you to move to a different quadrant of your mouth, and pauses for a longer time after 2 minutes to tell you you are done. Another improvement in this model is the different brushing modes, I only use the tongue massage for a few seconds at the end of my 2 minute normal brush. Brush heads are not too expensive to replace compared to similar models out there, so overall this is about as good an electric toothbrush as you can get.JoeBlow25

Got this Oral B toothbrush for my granddaughter. It has a ton of features that help her stay on track for keeping her teeth cleaned properly. The assortment of brushes available for different cleaning purposes is impressive, but ridiculously overpriced. It’s a toothbrush head! I have a similar model of Oral B and really don’t see any great difference between the different brushes. They all clean well. A great feature is the timer and the pulse intervals, which remind you when to change locations in your mouth. Also, the red light feature when you brush too hard is nice, considering most dentists say to stop injuring your gums. Holds a charge for approximately 5-6 days , one person, brushing twice a day. If you have room, you can just leave it plugged in all the time and not worry. Brush heads seem to last on average a month or two, again depending on how often you use it. Hers came with a travel pouch and a nice holder for multiple brush heads, all of which can have different color I’d rings so you know who’s whose. It has given her no trouble so far. Oral B is actually a brand I trust.Christine

I purchased this Braun smart 1500 rechargeable toothbrush as a replacement for an older Braun toothbrush, probably 10 years old, which recently died on me. It has several modes (different oscillation speeds), which my old one did not have. I just use the high speed, and brush for 2 minutes. I'm satisfied with the results of this product so far (only been using it for about a week now). Since they use the latest lithium battery technology, I'm expecting that the run time on a single charge will be much better than any experience that I've had thus far. And, the fact that it was available as an open-box item made it considerably less expensive ($39.00, I think it was) than it would have otherwise have been. Between toothbrushes and electric shavers, I have owned Braun products for probably about 30 years. They have good products. And, when considering their reliability and life expectancy, I consider them to be a good value as well.bast_1551

This is my first electric toothbrush and I’m mad it took me this long to level up! It gave me immediate results after the very first brushing straight out of the box. This feels like you just had a professional cleaning every single time you use it. It’s amazing! I really like that it has 3 cleansing speeds, and I can’t wait to try one of the interchangeable heads and use the whitening option. My teeth are so shiny and smooth! Can’t recommend this enough.janna.t

I have this product and use it daily. I purchased it at Walmart it was a good price point for the product that I was looking for and I've had one in the past. I had immediately before purchasing this bought the Walmart brand and it was extremely loud and I just couldn't get with it. The quality difference between the two products was definitely noticeable and I am glad I opted to get the brand. My front teeth are bonded and I see no damage or wear to them. I would recommend this product I think it's quality I've had it for about 6 months now and replace the head twice for sanitation purposes especially during covid and in general health. The replacements are affordable and not a problem.joann.b

Just received this toothbrush a few days ago. It has some very nice features but a couple that I personally don't like so much. The good: I think it's a good value for the price compared to other brands. It seems to vibrate very quickly and efficiently without too much shaking. As far as I can tell, it seems to do a good job of cleaning the teeth and getting into tight areas. I like having the four different levels of vibrating. I also like that it doesn't have a small round brush like most other electric toothbrushes have. This brush is not giant, but it's bigger than the little round ones – I think the small round brushes take longer to clean your teeth with because you can only brush one tooth at a time. It's great that this toothbrush has a rechargable plug-in handle. I was concerned that it would flop over in the charging cup like the picture shows, but it seems to be able to stand up straight if you don't bump it. I don't think that I would want to use the cup to drink from after storing the toothbrush handle in it, but that's just my personal feeling. If you care about the looks of your toothbrush, this one is very elegant looking. I mostly bought this model because it comes with so many replacement brushes, as well as a brush cover for each brush. It also has a travel case. A few small things that I don't care for: First, I don't need anything to signal me when I have brushed long enough – I brush until I have covered all of the tooth surfaces sufficiently. This brush automatically pauses every 30 seconds to signal you to move to a different part of your mouth – it's not a long pause, but to me it's an uneccessary delay. Then after 2 minutes, the automatically brush shuts off completely. Since I always brush longer than that, I have to press the button to restart the toothbrush. Again, a minor annoyance. Would be nice to have the option to disable those timers, but not a deal-breaker for the toothbrush. Another little annoyance is that the instructions say that you should pull off the toothbrush head after each use to rinse and then dry the handle and the brush separately. It's easy to pull of the brush head from the handle, and I appreciate being able to clean under the brush, but it would be easier if you could just rinse and dry the whole thing without taking the head off. As long as this toothbrush has good durability which I will find out as time goes on, I think that it's overall a winner so far.Linda

I live this tooth brush. The overall feel of the handle is great. It’s lightweight, slim and has a soft material feel; not like your usual plastic. It comes with a case that holds all the extra heads and a plastic cover piece to place over the head you are currently using; very pleasing. The glass cup that is used to not only charge the brush wirelessly but also can be used to rinse; is very thick and made of great quality. It’s got a little weight to it which I like. I find it fascinating that you can put the brush right into the cup and it charges wirelessly. There are 2 settings to use when brushing your teeth, soft and medium and I love that I have that option to switch between the two without having to change the brush. It feels great on my teeth and I am beyond happy with this brush. I would highly recommend it to all my friends and family.Craftmom23

I did A LOT of research before buying a new toothbrush. And I love this toothbrush. I can't express how crazy i am about my teeth. 3 mouth washes, 2 tooth pastes and 2 toothbrushes, kind of crazy, okay? The good news? This has cut down my ritual to 1 toothbrush! It's a little aggressive at the beginning, i would suggest taking it easy on the pressure to get your gums used to it, but it's fantastic! I use the clean mode and whitening mode the most. The extra bristles are awesome and the fact you can use ones from another high end brand to replace if needed in a pinch is cool, too.Chandraljjp

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 had the Flexcare+ Pro, and it's the only Sonicare toothbrush I've ever owned that's conked out on me! I've been an avid fan for almost 20 years, this is only my 4th brush. I love all the features, I use Gum Care twice daily. I use refresh when I want to refresh during the day, I've used massage or sensitive when my gums are a little tender after a good thorough cleaning by the hygienist, clean if I'm in a hurry, and don't want to take the additional minute. I love that the charging stand has some substance to it, instead of the small travel chargers that are now standard in most of the Sonicare brush boxes. I don't miss that it doesn't have the sanitizer of the pro model, the only thing I never used. I really feel this is a superior model than all the rest. FWIW, I tried the Sonicare with the Deep Clean. It simply brushs for 3 minutes, using the quadpacer technology. The Gum Care is 2 minutes using the quadpacer technology, then an additional minute, broken into 4, 15 second intervals, that you can use wherever you feel it necessary. I concentrate each 15 second on the extreme back and front of each quad…top left and right, lower left and right. My hygienist gave me an A+ last time! I definitely recommend this model from Sonicare!Luvely

DON'T BUY IT! I have gone through two of these brushes in two years because they are defective. They will just gradually start malfunctioning (e.g., turning on at random times, not coming on reliably when pressing power button) until they eventually never come on again. THIS HAPPENED TO BOTH BRUSHES AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR OF USE. They replaced the first one but not the second (even though I only had it for about a year). I was surprised to see so many people had the same problem I did because the Philips customer support told me this never happens with this toothbrush! Definitely not worth it for this price. My fiance has a cheaper model and has never had issues.Lauren67

Considering this is one of the more expensive options, Im not happy with this brush. My wife and kids all have cheaper models and have experienced 0 issues. I purchased the more expensive unit and it stopped working twice. They replaced it once (Free) because it was under warranty but the replacement unit fail within a year. Thus, Ive had 2 units stop working in little more than 2 years. My recommendation would be to choose a cheaper one… the bells and whistles aren't worth it, make it more complicated to use and may be part of why it stop working. Battery stopped holding a charge & couldn't be re-charged after being on the base all night, twice.toothfairy_houston

Before this, I had gotten used to a power toothbrush and the positive results were showing at the dentist. But I didn't like having a toothbrush and its cord sit on the bathroom counter. Five years ago, when I had to travel to a country with different voltage, my hygienist recommended this and I love it! It's the only one I use now. I use rechargeable batteries, just 2, and have 2 charged spare batteries on hand. For me, the batteries last a good 2-3 months before they need re-charging. I can put the toothbrush out of sight and I can toss it in bag take it anywhere: even places where there is no electricity. And If the power goes out, I can still use it. A variety of oral B brush heads work on this including the proWhite. It's been 5 years and the toothbrush is still going strong! Definitely recommend.Fussy

I liked the idea of batteries instead of rechargeable for travel purposes. It was good to clean the teeth, but now I cannot get the top back on after changing the battery. My husband's is the same. DO NOT BUY THIS TOOTHBRUSHnot happy

I prefer electric over manual but I can't justify spending hundreds of dollars. I grabbed a couple of these and both my husband and I love them. The only complaint is that there is no option for soft or medium. Very affordable and can purchase replacement heads!ashton .j

This Phillips Sonicare Diamond Clean toothbrush has been an absolute game changer in my daily routine. It’s beautiful, sleek, futuristic design and gorgeously subtle pink colour means that it sits beautifully on my bathroom shelf. I didn’t ever think I would be as proud as I am now to display a toothbrush! The product itself is also amazing and I cant rate it highly enough. It comes with 4 different cleaning modes; Clean, White+, Gum Health and deep clean. My personal favourite of these settings was the White+ mode as I have been wanting to achieve a brighter, whiter smile. As an avid coffee drinker, I wasn’t sure if this toothbrush would be able to help me with the staining on my teeth, but after only a few weeks I am absolutely amazed with this toothbrush and its abilities. My teeth are already at least a shade whiter and the stains are much, much lighter. My mouth also feels incredibly clean and my breath feels so much fresher for longer. I can only compare the clean feeling this product gives your mouth to that feeling you have after visiting the dental hygienist for a cleaning. I definitely now understand why the toothbrush was called Diamond Clean as my teeth are polished to perfection and shine like diamonds after using. This toothbrush also comes with an app, which I initially thought would be more of a gimmick than for actual use, but I have been absolutely fascinated by the stats it brings up after each brush… Including the message to advise I was brushing my teeth too hard. This app really helped me break the pattern of applying too much pressure when brushing my teeth and I always keep an eye now to ensure I am not being too rough with my new pearly whites. The app automatically pairs with the toothbrush once connected, so you don’t even have to open the app to track your brushing. The brush itself charges quickly and holds the charge well. In fact, I have been using the product for several weeks now and have only had to charge it once so I am very impressed with the battery life. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who, like me, wants to brighten their smile and really take their dental hygiene seriously. I cant believe I have been missing out on this feeling of clean for so long before trying this!Xxanna11xx

I feel confident that my teeth are getting a good cleaning with this brush, so I will focus on the bluetooth app, which could be better. First, for the deep cleaning setting, the app has you brush in 6 discrete areas, front and back. It can show you whether you are brushing in the designated area, but it doesn't always pick up the brushing, and it doesn't pick it up if you are outside the area. It would be nice if you could change the amount of time for each designated area, especially since you can mark areas that need more attention (but the app only marks the area graphically and doesn't add time). The app is designed to make the user want the teeth to turn all white, but even when you spend the allotted time in an area, the shading might be white on one side and light gray on the other, leaving a less than optimal user experience. Furthermore, if you miss an area, either by not spending enough time or the app not reading, the app highlights the area in yellow and you are given 20 seconds per area to turn it white. If you continue brushing the app doesn't register the additional time beyond the overtime it has allowed. Another annoying factor is if I brush in the morning and then after midnight, it acts like I only brushed once during the day and gives me annoying helpful reminders to brush twice a day.Giant1

My first electric toothbrush was the first version of Sonicare. I switched to Oral B after a few years. When I switched back to Sonicare I got the first version of DiamondClean. I was astounded. It felt like I went to the dentist and received a professional cleaning from a hygienist! 6 years later that DiamondClean died. I knew I was gonna get another. Upon searching one out, I was surprised to discover that there were two versions that were even more advanced. I really wanted the Prestige just because I often try to get the best available, but the price was a little beyond my justified budget. And after reviewing these extensively, I determined that I was proficient enough to accomplish everything I need for an excellent teeth brushing experience with the DiamondClean 9300. Almost half the price of the prestige. I will say that if I was single and didn’t have kids and wife to provide for I probably would’ve gotten the Prestige. I just love the look of the case and some of the other technology benefits seemed great. So I got me and my wife the 9300, and connected them with the app, and I have been greatly enjoying the experience of having the app guide the areas to brush to make sure I cover each area sufficiently and for the optimal amount of time. This has helped me to be more patient with and to actually enjoy the process. I’m excited to keep my numbers up. Whereas I used to only brush for one minute, now I do a full two minutes. I also floss every night and wear my retainers every night again. Feels great to have great oral hygiene. Thanks Philips for an excellent product! It has improved greatly from the previous iteration. (also, my dentist prefers Sonicare to Oral B, now I see why) I also ordered the new A3 brush head which is excellent! Have to order separately as it seems to only come with the 9700 and 9900 versions.Jack be nimble

These are my favorite toothbrushes. Every time they go on sale I buy a couple as back ups. They clean teeth very thoroughly and don’t itch my nose like many electronic toothbrushes do. I have noticed that the newer version is harder to turn off and on. Sometimes I’ll need the end of some thing hard to turn it off and on. I hope they take this into account when they re-designed it.EC

I like this toothbrush for the most part. The one major issue I have with it is that no matter how well it's rinsed a little ring of build up forms where the brush head meets the body. This may have to do with having well water. I do like how easy it is to fine the refill and they are pretty inexpensive. The blue tips on the brush head fade down to white to signal it's time for a replacement.hannah.l

I was sent a Spinbrush Truly Radiant toothbrush from Arm & Hammer to use and review and I must say that for a battery powered toothbrush I was pleasantly surprised by the results! I have used various, other brand, battery operated, toothbrushes in the past and was not that impressed but I guess they have come a long way since then! This brush has a lot more power then I thought it would or could being that it is battery operated. There are two sets of bristles and they each go in different directions which enables a much better feeling of "clean". It comes ready to go with batteries in it which was a pleasant surprise because I didn't have to go out and buy them separate to start. The bottom part where the batteries are stored is easy to get on and off to replace but fastened well enough that you don't have to worry about them falling out and because they are located at the bottom of the brush you don't have to worry about toothpaste or water leaking in. The brush head is replaceable which is something I don't recall similar brushes having as a feature which is nice because you don't have to throw the whole thing away and buy a whole new brush when the bristles wear out. I am not sure how long the head the brush came with will last but it is nice to be able to just switch it with a new one when needed. My husband has an expensive, rechargeable, toothbrush that he paid a couple hundred for and when I have used that in the past it gave me the same feeling of "clean" and "refreshed" that this Spinbrush did at a fraction of the cost. I am not certain of when I will have to replace the batteries so that will be something I will find out later and, of course, can't comment on in this review. All in all this brush gets a 4 out of 5 stars because it does an excellent job and has the power you would expect from an expensive rechargeable brush. The only reason it doesn't get five is because of the fact that I will have to eventually replace the batteries because it is not rechargeable. However, I did see that Spinbrush now makes a rechargeable one that is still much cheaper then others in the market, so perhaps that will be the next one I try!amoniques13

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

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

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

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
