Just started using my new Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro Ultra in grey, and I’m genuinely impressed. I’ve never been the best at traditional flossing,… Read more

so this has been a game-changer. It’s super easy to use just fill the reservoir with water or mouthwash, aim between the teeth, and press. Takes less than a minute and leaves my mouth feeling fresh and clean. The colour looks sleek and modern on the counter, and the design feels solid and comfortable in hand. After a week of using it daily, my gums already feel healthier and less sensitive.

This product is guaranteed to fail. There is a major flaw with this device that causes the attachment that goes into the brush head to weaken and… Read more

bend over time until you can't get proper force on your teeth as it become increasingly weaker. I bought a substantially cheaper supermarket model for overseas travel and it is far superior in its strength does not break and does a better job. Your paying a premium on this device for it to fail.

I already got a replacement under warranty and this has happened again. The design/model is flawed.

Night and Day difference from a manual toothbrush, or the Oral B competitor – I tried buying an Oral B electric toothbrush a while ago, and while it was okay, I ended up going back to manual. This blew my mind for $30 at my… Read more

local woolworths (1/2 price). I looked it up online after seeing it in store and noticed that it was actually a steal of a price, took a leap of faith and purchased it, and now can't see myself going back to manual brushing. Though this is an entry-level one, it's still amazing and I'll probably end up upgrading. As a young adult (still learning the ins and outs of taking care of myself) this has really piqued my interest and shown me how much more there is to household dental health, and made a vast improvement on the cleanliness of my teeth. The only things that are negative are: the noise (it's called SONICare for a reason) though it's not as loud and annoying as the Oral B one I had used, it's quite odd and high-pitched. Not being able to keep my bottom lip up because of the vibration (I find myself drooling everywhere like a toddler), and the expensive and hard to find replaceable heads. Otherwise a great upgrade and for an entry-level version it is to be expected, though it exceeds overall. Another thing I will say is that it's extremely light, and the heads themselves are very small so I find myself A; using a lot less toothpaste, and B; being able to brush very finely and reach every crevice and corner of my teeth. God that sounds creepy. But it's true, and a fantastic feeling.

Makes brushing easy – It usually takes longer to get the kids to brush their teeth then the actual process of brushing them. But not with Philips Sonicare for Kids. They… Read more

love seeing their little friend on the app and making him happy when they brush their teeth. The timer also means Im not standing there telling them to keep going!

Oral B oscillation electric toothbrush is scientifically proven to clean slightly better but my gum is too sensitive so it's uncomfortable to use. … Read more

The Philips electric toothbrush is the next best thing and is painless, which means I will actually use it rather than let it collect dust like my Oral B one. I find both Oral B and Philips electric toothbrushes give a very clean feel after brushing. I personally can't feel the difference between Oral B and Philips.

I love the extra minute on gum care mode and this ProtectiveClean 4500 model is the least expensive model with this mode. This is my third Philips electric toothbrush and my last one was ProtectiveClean 6100 with 3 modes and 3 intensity settings. Once I'm comfortable with gum care and on high intensity, I never changed it. So I feel the essential features for me are simply pressure sensor, QuadPacer timer and gum care mode. There is no need to go for the more expensive model. If you don't need the gum care mode, I would recommend the cheaper 3100 series or something because I just found out that 62000 brush movement/min is the same as 31000 brush strokes per minute. Notice, 2 brush movement = 1 brush stroke. Also, 62000 brush movement/min is the highest speed for Philips toothbrushes, even for their DiamondClean series. The rest of remove 7x plaque vs 10x plaque all comes down to the brush head used.

Another reason why I recommend the cheaper model is I found each electric toothbrush only lasts me 2-2.5 years before the motor became loud and broke, but at least Philips is good about replacing if you register the product to get the extra year warranty. BTW if the BrushSync's brush head replacement reminder bugs you, it can be turned off. Finally, the battery life is around 2 weeks so I don't even bother carrying the charging stand when I'm going for 1 week trips.

Dreadful Delivery & Value for Money – Bought brush for about 400 dollars which included spare brushes, which as you could imagine, soon needed replacement. Ordered a set of 3 for over 40… Read more

dollars, which took over a month to arrive! The first Sonicare DiamondClean brush we had lasted about 2-3 years before it no longer worked, and Philips neither had parts or repairs for it. The brush itself does a good job, but it is a pity that Philips uses such unreliable technology and is so greedy charging so much for just three plastic brush head replacement. My opinion is that the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean is not worth the money

My first Philips Sonicare toothbrush – It works really well and I should have started to use it earlier. I also asked my other family members to buy Sonicare ExpertClean. I am writing this review just because I think its score should be higher than what it is now. :) Show details

Amazing product – I’m blown away by the performance of this tooth brush , after trying aggressive methods of cleaning plaque like salt , baking soda , lime etc and… Read more

neither of them working effectively , I decided to go for this toothbrush after reading rave reviews and I was not expecting the toothbrush to be so efficient, my plaque was almost removed after just two uses and now I’ve been using it for a week , I’m regretting not buying this earlier , I mean it is expensive (for me) but worth the price because it would save you so much money at the dentist’s office

Great device for oral hygiene – The Philips Sonicare 3000 water flosser is a fantastic product. I had a problem with my gum and after using the flosser for a couple of days, my… Read more

gum cleared up.

I have owned other brand water flossers in the past usually purchased via ebay. Although they were good, the plastic nozzles split after a couple of years and they are not sold separately. I needed something that was portable and I could purchase replacement nozzles if needed (which Phillips sell).

I upgraded to the Philips and so far, very very happy with the performance, easy to use, easy to clean. I use the device at least twice a day and only need to charge it once a fortnight. I use the lowest setting as this is enough for my teeth/gums.

Convenient stow feature for nozzle when travelling.

Sensitivity after the procedure is horrible, I can't believe this product even exists. Sure, my teeth appear a couple of shades whiter. But I'm also… Read more

(literally) crying because of the tooth sensitivity it's caused; never again.

Stick to an at home whitening kit and avoid the agony (and $$$ !!!)

Size DOES MATTER Philips – Husband and I have both got Philips Respironics CPAP machines - him since 2017, me since 2019. I've opted for this style of mask since 2019 because I… Read more

am a middle-of-the-night-reader and the style allows me to use spectacles without removing the mask. I've replaced the mouth piece about 5 or so times since 2019 - the silicon seal separates on the lower edge causing an infuriating whistling. No way to fix it with tape - have tried - you just have to buy a new mouthpiece. Recently the mouthpiece again came apart, the frame was getting discoloured and the strappings velcro was failing to adhere & stay put. My husband thought he'd buy me a new kit for my upcoming birthday. I would have thought, when you order a specific size, that ALL components comply with the size ordered. Not so. According to Philips and the reseller (you can't buy directly from Philips), you have control over the size of mouth mask, but not in the face frame. So, having ordered the LARGE Dreamwear Full Face mask, the sealed bag came with - as advertised TWO Large mouth masks - but a SMALL and MEDIUM face frame. Apparently only 10% of the population who order the "large" kit, are unhappy with that - and actually require the large frame. Hmmm. Seems I am in the minority here. But this is predetermined by Philips. I would have thought it would make so much more sense that if you ordered Small, you'd receive a small and medium frame, but if you ordered Medium or Large, you'd receive a Meium or Large frame. Ordering Large kit and receiving a small and a medium frame was utterly ridiculous, uncomfortable and, for the price, ridiculous. Resellers need to give feedback to Philips - which I tried to do directly, but was told to get the reseller to pass on my feedback and suggestions. If I wasn't a middle-of-the-night reader I'd buy a completely different system after this interaction on getting new headwear. Life shouldn't be this difficult with sleep apnoea!
