Product Reviews of Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush
Product Review: Easy polishing.
Summary: 5 Stars
You can polish your teeth rather than just brushing with this device.
Since the brush rattles, touching the brush to your teeth may cause noises.
Now, I use only two minutes for my teeth (exactly two minutes) after having this device.
Product Review: Easy to use and Cleans Great!

After several months with no problems and a great dental checkup I have to say that this is one of my personal favorite tooth brushes.Most importantly is the cleaning.This brush does an awesome job,aside from a cleaning at the dentist I haven't found better.
The size is smaller than other electric tooth brushes I have used which is a plus for me.It fits comfortably in hand and I haven't had any problems with accidently switching it off while in use as I have with other brands.
The brush head is a nice size and feels comfortable in my mouth.It is not small but not huge either.Plus the replacment heads are easy to find and a reasonable price which is very important over the long run.
I like being able to adjust the speed for when you need a more thorough cleaning and if you have sensitive teeth and gums you can always start at the lowest setting and work your way up to a faster speed at your pace,this would be very helpful if you are not accustomed to using electric tooth brushes.
I have found that the battery holds a charge well and so far is still doing so.Plus the low battery warning is nice so it dosen't run out in mid-brush.Aside from just trying them out I don't really use the programmed settings.It's not that there is anything wrong with using them I just like brushing the way I always have.
The FlexCare is a bit pricey but other than that I have no complaints.I liked this brush so much I bought one for my 8 year old daughter who has had dental problems since she first got teeth and she has had no problems using it,and loves it as well.
Product Review: Easy to use, leaves my teeth feeling clean

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've been use the FlexCare for a month. It's considerably lighter and has a longer neck than the Sonicare I had from about five years ago. I put it into clean mode immediately as I have been using the
Ultreo Ultrasound Toothbrush
for several months and didn't expect I would need time to adjust to the FlexCare's clean mode. The brushing instructions for the FlexCare differ from those of the Ultreo: without the waveguide that that Ultreo has, the FlexCare is easier to adjust to. I felt comfortable using the FlexCare the first day, whereas (as the Ultreo instructions say to expect) it took me a week to get used to the Ultreo.
My teeth felt clean after brushing with the FlexCare, at least as clean as with the Ultreo. I did prefer the handle of the Ultreo a little, it seems to balance and fit better in my hand. I still haven't gotten used to the placement of the FlexCare's on/off button and every few days I accidentally stop my brushing too early.
What is more of a concern for me is that after using the FlexCare, I've felt a return of some sensitivity along my molars that had gone away when I used the Ultreo [I have a dry mouth condition and have to take extra care of my teeth including more frequent brushing, use of a WaterPik, a brush pick, and a mouthwash]...and when I have switched back for a few days to the Ultreo during the past month that sensitivity went away. Whether that was due to some benefit of the Ultreo it is too soon for me to say. I had one dental cleaning after using the Ultreo for one month and one more after using the Ultreo another two months and then the FlexCare for most of the last month (sometimes using the Ultreo) and both times the hygienist was pleased overall with the condition of my teeth and gums.
Note: I haven't been using either the Ultreo or FlexCare long enough to have a certain preference between them myself. I haven't used any other electric toothbrush currently on the market. Starting with the Ultreo and getting used to it may have biased me in its favor. I can't tell yet if the Ultreo's ultrasound makes a difference so I don't know if it is worth adjusting to having the waveguide (and extra expense of the brushes). At this point, if I had to recommend one to a friend who did not have special dental needs, I might recommend the FlexCare but if someone had a dry mouth condition like mine I might suggest the Ultreo. But I am not a dental professional nor do I have the benefit of long-term controlled studies or even any long-term usage of my own. I'll go back to using the Ultreo now unless a future cleaning indicates problems and if so I'll try the FlexCare again ... but if I had started with the FlexCare it is possible I would have gotten accustomed to it and after reviewing the Ultreo I'd be going back to the FlexCare for now. Either seems preferable to me to using a regular toothbrush and there's been some improvement in my gums since using each that there hadn't been when I was using a regular toothbrush (even attentively).
Product Review: Excellent Toothbrush
Summary: 5 Stars
With only using this product for a little over a month, I can already see a difference in my teeth. My teeth are whiter and feel cleaner after using this brush as opposed to my manual toothbrush. The quadrant timer is great feature also.Product Review: Excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased these for my entire family, great toothbrush and very good for traveling (battery easily lasted a week and would last another week without a problem I am sure).
