Review on 🦷 Philips Sonicare Healthy White Electric Toothbrush, Lavender - Enhanced SEO by Amy Fuhrman

This is my second Sonicare toothbrush which may not sound like much but I bought my first shortly after it was introduced in the early 2000's and it has lasted over 10 years. I used electric toothbrushes a few years ago and love what Sonicare does differently, including the inductive charging system so there are no exposed electrical contacts and the magnetic connection between the head and motor body so the electronics are 100% clean. sealed. against dirt and moisture. While other brands of electric toothbrushes are sold, Sonicare's only major competitor is Oral B, which uses a mechanical rotating head in addition to oscillating like the Sonicare. Unbiased research has shown that the Oral B design is slightly more effective at removing plaque, but Sonicare outperforms it for general daily oral care. Phone call. This is where a strong dose of reality comes into play. More than many other product types, Phillips makes the best of marketing. There's a big price difference between their most basic entry-level model and their top-of-the-line model, but when it comes down to it, they're all pretty much the same. They have a battery and motor handle that are the same inside, and on some models the brush has a slightly different shape. Other than that, the only differences are how the switches, lights, and timers are constructed, all differences that cost a penny but result in price swings of hundreds of dollars (based on the retail price range of $24-$249). The marketing ploy is that some models are designed to remove plaque, some to whiten, etc., but in reality they all do nothing but vibrate the brush head the same way on all models, so none of them are better or worse this matter. Plaque removal, whitening, etc., they all end up doing the same thing. Paying more does not necessarily mean better or more efficient cleaning. I didn't choose this model because of the buttons and displays, but because the replacement brush heads are discounted and cheaper than the special unique replacement brushes for my old entry-level base model, and this model can be used with a few extra brushes if I want. . By not being locked into that expensive and overly complex replacement brush, it should cost me less than owning the base model in the long run. To a lesser extent, another improvement worthy of an update is that they now use longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries instead of nickel-cadmium. A word of caution: Sonicare toothbrushes are programmed with an introductory learning curve for new users. full speed over 14 applications. It is human nature to "experience” something new the first time. Just remember that every time you flip the switch to see how it works without brushing your teeth, use one of these 14 introductory steps. Although my original Sonicare lasted over 10 years, they don't last forever. Over time, the battery had to be charged more frequently and had less power when used. The older design also allowed water to enter the space behind the brush head where it could become moldy. I didn't need to buy a new toothbrush, but once I made the decision I found that this mid-range model was the best overall price in the line. thinner body is easier to hold (5.14oz vs. 7.20oz) NON-ENHANCED: Status LED is now a tiny dot instead of the entire green button ENHANCED: Thinner brush holder tube for easier access to the back of the mouth NON-ENHANCED A: It can no longer stow an extra power cord in the base, and Sonicare units have a ridiculously long cord for what would normally be on a toilet stand next to an outlet. The base is smaller and lighter and easier to tip over. IMPROVED: Rubberized padding on the handle for better grip than the old smooth plastic design. The large cavity that used to hold water and mold was gone. NOT IMPROVED: There is only one switch for Clean, Sensitive and Clean & White speeds that you need to toggle. But you don't know what speed you're going until you take your toothbrush out of your mouth to look at the tiny LED lights. But when you take it out of your mouth, the brush splatters toothpaste all over the bathroom. While overall I feel like I've upgraded from the previous Sonicare I've had, some things are a step backwards and the huge price difference isn't worth any of the benefits.
