Great investment in your family's dental care | powerful | effective
By nclovely1 on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2018
I've used Sonicare for a long time and love that feeling of having professionally cleaned teeth every day -- you know, the way you feel when you leave the dentist's office. I love this particular model and love the two-fer price. I had one of the more expensive models at one point, and these are just as good if not better. They don't come with a fancy holder or extra heads, but they do come with two devices (ready to use), two chargers, and two travel cases. We got this for less than the price of one of the slightly fancier models. The main difference is that this is one speed; you cannot adjust the speed. However, I only used one speed on the adjustable model I used before, so it doesn't make a difference to me. Our dentist highly recommended the Philips brand; however, she was trying to get us to buy one of the "diamond" models from her for $199. This was less than half that price for two very good toothbrushes. If you do your research, you'll see that these are nominally less powerful than the top-of-the-line Sonicare model. But I used an older, less powerful model that I bought about 12 years ago pretty much every day, and I didn't have a single cavity during that time. That 12-year-old one still works but I wanted to buy one for my son and saw that they had a great deal on this model, so I traded up for me, too. You'll find this is a good investment in your family's dental care.

They keep breaking down!
By Happy Camper on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016
They work well for brushing, however, they are not very sturdy. I have had Sonic toothbrushes for the last 3 years and after 6 months they give out. On this purchase one of the 2 brushes broke after 2 weeks. I got a full refund but still annoying. If they work they are actually very good, which is why I keep buying hem.I am probably on my 3d or 4th set of toothbrushes in 3 years. What usually happens when they break down is that you push the button and it will brush only for 5-10 seconds and then stop. The battery charging indicator light below keeps flashing even if it is supposed to be fully charged. I have tried different chargers to no avail. I suspect that it is somehow the charging process that doesn't work any more.Am I the only one with this problem? Is there a way to replace the rechargeable battery. Is there a way to get these things repaired at all. They are a little pricey for just being throwaway items after 1-6 months.
