Philips Sonicare - FlexCare Platinum (HX9172/10)

I use smart plug. 1.5 hours charger every 2 days. It's a 2015 soniccare and still good. I had to open the other one to fix a rattle so I changed the batteries on both. Still same charging cycle

My Sonicare is over 15 years old.

The one with the UV light in the charging stand

Bin von rotierenden Bürsten (braun) zu Ultraschall (Philipps) gewechselt Grund war meine 1/2jährliche pkz. Bei der einfarbig hat man deutlich die Routationsspuren gesehen. Bin gespannt, wie es in 5-10 Monaten aussieht

My Sonicare with travel case (with integrated charger) is by far the best electric toothbrush I have ever used. Came here to say this.

Not bulky, no. And the built in charger is a blessing.

I’ve had the Sonicare range from the days before Philips bought it, thankfully they didn’t ruin it. Recently bought my mum an inexpensive one as the oral b she complained always ran out of charge. Ordo from Amazon, she was happy with it.

I bought a sonicare from Amazon for cheap and it lasted about a year. I bought another sonicare from my dentist and it's still going strong, six years later.

I have tried manual toothbrush and the Philips One travel toothbrush and they don’t compare to the full size Sonicare, which I now bring on every trip. Obviously, I don’t bring the big case.

I take off the head and use the cap that comes with head refills https://preview.redd.it/55qc75oeonog1.jpeg?width=778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c0dc3805041a35b7bb85842c5837ee331d11a83

Why do you need a case at all? I travel with a Sonicare and separate the head from the body and use the tiny cap that comes with replacement heads. https://preview.redd.it/scm4aoprhmog1.jpeg?width=778&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5fddee74590ffed76e7b348a37da8497592a7f9

I have a different model, but you can buy small alternatives to the case charger.

I bring my full size Sonicare too. I had the same experience with Philips One. About to leave on a two month trip and I'm tempted to take a travel water flosser as well.

I will not deinfluence you. Mas okay ang Philips Electric Toothbrush Sonic series. There are some published studies na better ang mentioned brand na yun. Dentists also agree when it comes sa clean function and bristles shape.

I actually disagree with the other comment and prefer the oral B. I have both and I’ve been using the sonicaire for about a month now. They both are great but oral B feels more gentle. The sonicaire is pretty intense and since it’s larger I think there is slightly more potential to incorrectly clean the gums, causing damage.

Yeah it’s definitely a personal preference thing! I can understand why some people prefer the usual brush head of the sonicaire because it feels more familiar.

Yeah why does my oral B get moldy and my sonicaire doesn’t? Also an RDH. 😂

I prefer Oral B to my Sonicaire. Look up BASS brushing technique on YouTube but also there are videos how to specifically brush with an electric because you do not need to use a scrubbing motion.

I prefer the oral B iO. Oral B brush head is better in general when used properly imo especially in the back. The only thing I do prefer about the sonicaire is they don’t get that mold issue that oral B has not figured out yet. I just have to frequently remove and clean out the brush head area on the oral B.
