Strengths: Ease of use
Weaknesses: Length of time to recharge. As the unit ages, recharge time
Summary: SoniCare is a great electric toothbrush. The 2 minute timer, with its 30

second interval beeper, provides an adequate brush time for top and

bottom, front and back brushing. The unit provides a flashing light

(dim) within the turn-on button when a recharge is needed. When new, the

unit provides greater than a week between recharges when one brushes

once per day. As the unit ages, the time interval between recharge

shrinks. Near the end of battery life - approximately four years - the

two minute brush cycle often is cut short. It was at this point that I

replaced the unit - replacement of battery is expensive.

Finally, a comment on the manufacturer's dental health claims. The unit

does improve gum health with regular use, but it does not help with

improving what dentist refer to as "deep pockets" below the gum line. My

dentist continues to recommend that I submit to surgery to correct

my ongoing "deep pocket" issues. Regular twice yearly cleanings are still

recommended with the use of the SoniCare electric toothbrush.

Summary: This is actually my second unit...one for me and one for my wife. It doesn't even compare to regular brushing. It cleans your teeth so much better! Try it!

Strengths: cleans your teeth very well.
Weaknesses: bulky for traveling.
Summary: My teeth are worth the money. Consumer Reports say these are the best toothbrushes. Big difference from the normal brush. I may not take it on trips, specially to places where the voltage is different (The chager will fry). Funny cause Phillips is from the EU.

    Product Experience:
    30 Days
Strengths: Compatible with the standard brush heads.
Weaknesses: Does not have the 30 sec interval timer, only the two minute overall timer.
Summary: I bought this to replace my old unit that finally quit after several years of use. The old one had been getting weak and I didn't realize it until I got this new one. It is much stronger and my teeth feel cleaner. I had a bunch of replacement brushes so I didn't want to go to one of the newer models because the brush heads are not compatible. I just miss the 30 sec interval timer which this particular model does not have.
