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

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.
