I have a Phillips SoniCare (from costco), but the battery is dying out. Turns out Phillips Quality control varies by their providers, and some end up lasting just after warranty (For reference, I've been having mine for close to 10 years). Out of fear i might be one of the unlucky 15%, I'm gonna give Suri a shot since i like their case has the UV disinfecting feature. I think i'm still gonna try repair my old SoniCare in an iFix shop.

I don't know if there's any good ones.  I guess there was a redesign in 2023? Which may explain why some people love it and others hate it depending on how recently they bought. The new ones seem to have a screw in the body that vibrates loose and makes the brushing action terrible.  The cheap ones/double packs you get at Costco and Sam's club were terrible out of the box for me. The mid-level ones like 3000-4000 series used to be a good sweet spot, but also  vibrated themselves apart for me. The expensive ones also seem to break, and now you're just out even more money.  I had to swap to Oral B despite using Sonicare for decades previously

My sonic care finally died after 8+years of use shared with my wife. So heavy usage.  Replaced with a two pack from Costco. 1 died in about 3 months. SonicCare replaced it with an upgraded version and so far it’s been ok. The other one is fine but stays in our travel bag.

Costco has sonicare 2 packs on sale for $69. Worth it!
