Review on Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Electric Toothbrush, White Edition - HX9112: Ultimate Dental Cleaning at Your Fingertips by Emma Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just unbelievable! on electric toothbrushes

Worth every penny! In just 2 weeks I noticed a huge difference and even my dentist was impressed. I first bought these after realizing my gums were overly inflamed which worried my dentist and recommended I switch to an electric toothbrush as soon as possible. On my next visit she was very impressed and knew immediately that I had switched from manual to electric. I did a lot of research between the Philips Sonicare and Oral B models and what really drew me in was the battery life. Oral B reviewers have reported many battery life issues after just a few months, and for one, their models require weekly charging. My Sonicare can run 5 weeks straight! You can't beat this. I brush at night on level 1 on a deep cleanse which takes 3 minutes and then in the mornings on a regular brush which takes 2 minutes. That's 175 minutes (5 minutes/day x 7 days/week x 5 weeks) on a single charge and I can probably go longer, but I don't want it to turn itself off halfway through brushing. The vibration notification I get to notify me when I switch pages (quarterly) helps me make sure I'm cleaning each page appropriately. I can't imagine ever cleaning by hand again afterwards. It has greatly improved my gums, whitened my teeth more than ever, and improved my breathing throughout the day. Health is priceless!

Pros
  • Built-in pressure sensor warns you if you're brushing too hard
Cons
  • Older model
