Best Bang for the Buck; Electric is the Only Care for Oral Care
By Boyadzhiev on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2017
This toothbrush redefines oral care; manual brushing does not clean sufficiently. I had long struggled with my oral care because manual brushing is slow and so I would brush quickly leading to excessive scrubbing. I soon remembered that it was bad for my gum health, I finally decided to spend the money on this well-built electric toothbrush that is probably the best model for the money. It cleans many times better than manual ever could and gets all the missing dirt before they become plaque which is a common issue for people who brush manually. With the HealthyWhite, you gain the advantage of a powerful motor that brushes as speedily and well as the top of the line model DiamondWhite that uses with the bristles-heavy DiamondWhite head (more bristles, the better it cleans your gums and teeth, fine-cleaning). It also comes with a travel pack which has been exceedingly useful and has protected my toothbrush from damage. It occurred to my cheaper Sonicare model which would not brush as usual after I packed it in a zipper bag and forgot to take the head off. The cheaper model also used a lower quality head with fewer bristles and the motor was weaker, so I am glad I broke it which forced me to buy a new one and choosing to opt for a more expensive model too with a pack. It led to my best cleaning experience I have ever had outside the dentist's office. The con is that it is not as features-rich as DiamondWhite, but that is so much more money. The HealthyWhite cleans just the same as DiamondWhite using the core mechanical Clean setting since they brush equivalently on maximum strength. The only difference is that the DW has more brush settings. I cannot state whether they make a difference, but I rarely use the White option on my HealthyWhite, so I highly doubt I will care about using DW's several brush settings and features. I am interested in only cleaning my teeth that should also whiten, improves gum health, and such simultaneously using the core Clean setting. I have had no issues with charging, and it lasts very long on a full charge. I am careful not just to leave it on the charger all the time since that can be bad for the battery depending on what kind. I think with careful use, this toothbrush can last for a while but I probably will purchase a new one after a year. After all, can you put a price on your oral health?

Dissapointed
By ClassySassy on Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2017
This is my fourth Philips Sonicare brush. I've tried several different models over the years and when my last one lost all the power and efficacy, I decided to buy and try this one since the price was really good and all I was looking for is a good sonicare clean without all the bells and whistles. With that being said, you can forgo the power +- button because the highest setting is really just enough to give you a good clean. Lower settings are really inefficient for me and I don't feel my teeth are clean. Maybe for a first time user until gums adjust, but if you are already using sonicare brush it's pretty much useless. The travel case that came with it is also useless as the closure is so weak that it will open up as soon as you put the brush in. It defeats the purpose of calling it a "travel" case. I tried to put the brush in one of the older and better cases I have from the other Phillips brushes, but that didn't work as this brush has very bulky and wide end and I couldn't close the case. This also makes it somewhat heavy and not very ergonomic when brushing. I have been using it for about a month now and I already feel that power is getting weaker, just like my old brush so I'm expecting to have to replace it soon. I'm not sure why the quality of these Phillips brushes is taking a down turn in the last few years, but it's disappointing as these are not exactly a $10 tooth brushes. I'm used to having a good sonicare toothbrush as it really makes a difference in my oral health, but because I'm loosing trust in Phillips brushes I am contemplating to try some other brands once this brush dies. I think you'd be better off paying more for a one of the higher end brushes than this one so for that reason I wouldn't recommend this one.
