It is extremely difficult if not impossible to determine what brush heads to order for your Sonicare toothbrush. The official Sonicare site isn't much help; they don't even have very good pictures of their products. I ordered these brush heads, but who knows if they will work. Also, the Sonicare toothbrush that my son uses has a faulty seal where the brush head meets the base, so that gunk builds up in the crevices inside. Looks like the same gunk that happens on the special brush head holder.

It is dishearteninbg to see a much cheaper , by half, of a Sonicare toothbrush. Yes, I am aware that I selected a different line but had I known about the cheaper version, you know I would have chosen the cheaper one. 50% off of $195 is quite a savings.

The E-seris are simply a fantastic toothbrush. Ergonomic, effective and actually very good value. If you are sill using manual brushes you really have to stump up the extra few dollars investment and get one of these. They are 10x better than a manual. The replacement heads just keep a good purchase lasting longer. My teeth are in excellent condition and it is mostly due to this tootbrush, get one.

It was very easy to make this purchase. The description had enough detail for me to pick to right head type for the Sonicare unit I have. Amazon.com is a very easy way to shop on line.

I like these heads for the Sonicare toothbrush better than the old style. They have longer bristles on the front and back edges, which reach around teeth more efficiently.

I got my Sonicare toothbrush about 4 years ago. At first, it felt weird using it - getting used to the vibrations and all. Now, I will never use anything else. The clean feeling is great. You just feel the total, deep down clean after you use this. The replacement heads can be pricey, but you can score some really good deals if you keep an eye out. It is very worth the price in my opinion and would definitely recommend it to anyone who can afford it. I plan on buying my 14 yr old son a Sonicare for Christmas this year. He has been asking me for one and I think it is a great investment on a very practical and useful gift.

My local pharmacy charges about the same amount for a single replacement head as Amazon charges for a package of two heads. It's always a pleasure to save a few bucks by ordering on-line.
Planned Obsolescence - Review written on September 27, 2008

Here are two things Phillips will not tell you about their Sonicare toothbrushes and heads.

1) The collar that holds the toothbrush to the handle will disintegrate in a couple of months. That's what prompted this review, because they would not replace mine after it fell apart two weeks after purchasing a replacement.

They manufacturer these things to disintegrate so you will continue to buy replacements - planned obsolescence. However, I suspect their China supplier is skimping on the plastic specifications and they fall apart in weeks instead of months. (Do you think China would really do that?)

2) UNPLUG your base until you need to charge the toothbrush. If you charge it up overnight, then unplug the base, the toothbrush will work for four brushings per day for about a month. Then, when it signals or stops, plug the base in to charge it.

This method will allow your toothbrush to work for five years or longer. If you keep the base plugged in all the time, these NiCad batteries develop memory and will stop functioning after 18 to 24 months.

A bonus, if you travel a lot as I do, you don't have to pack the charger. Just make sure it's topped off and you're good for a month's vacation.

These brush heads work well. However, I would prefer to see a larger size bristlehead like the one made for the Advance model.

The local Wal-Mart did not carry the replacement toothbrush head (no surprise) so I went to a reliable source www.amazon.com and had the product in a couple days. I really like the free shipping.

Beside the Phillips Sonicare tooth brush being superior to most other brands, the brushes are the key to having wonderful teeth. The pricing on Amazon is unbeatable. These replacement brushes are pretty expensive if not bought on Amazon. This is truly a win-win item on Amazon.

My family has been using the Sonicare toothbrush for several years and are quite happy with it. From time to time we order refill brush heads. The basic electrical part of the brush has held up very good.

Love Phillips Sonicare! - Review written on August 27, 2008

Rating: 5 out of 5

Love my Sonicare. It has made a world of difference in dental checkups. Phillips Sonicare does require some extra effort to keep clean. But, prefer it over oral B, which manufactures new toothbrushes every year/some heads don't fit some models etc.. Became so frustrated it trying to find the heads...I even e-mailed the company several times. They never responded to my questions. So bought Phillips/the heads fit all models. Very happy.
Will this fit my brush? - Review written on August 17, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 5

The rating for the over all sonicare brush I would give is a 5, but why make it so hard to match replacement heads to the unit you have? My brush says: "PHILIPS Sonicare" and then, etched into the bottom, "061009 HX9500". With Philips changing their models every year, you would think that Philips, or even amazon would list all compatable models with their replacement heads, but they don't. Why? Do they hope we'll give up and buy a whole new unit? So who does list this info? The only people who really care about selling small amounts of items at a time:

eBay sellers!

Doesn't matter what you're looking for, Google your model number, what you're trying to replace, with "ebay", and then click on the first eBay link on the list.

This toothbrush is the best. It is worth every penny that you may spend on it. It does most of the action on your teeth and leaves your teeth and mouth feeling clean and fresh. It is not harsh as some brushes can be. It does the job better than any regular toothbrush. It is also very good for your gums. You don't have to use any pressure. The brush does the work. It has a timer on it, so you know how much time you are spending brushing. I have tried many electronic toothbrushes, but this is the best. I have been using it for over four years now, and would recommend it to anyone. Your teeth will be the healthiest. Don't hesitiate--you will love it.

A treat for the gum! - Review written on August 04, 2008

I have been using sonicare for five years after going thru a gum surgery. I was happy with Sonicare standard brush heads except for occasional gum irritation. By switching to E-Series two years ago, not only did the irritation go away, but also I enjoy less noisy brushing. I must say that I had to clean brush head buildups more frequently compare to E-Series.

I was very pleased with the fast arrival. I was also surprised at how much better the new head works - didn't realize the old one had steadily grown weaker... Also, was very happy with the price as I saw it at Wal-mart for $10 more! It will be nice to not have to remember when it's time to re-order. Thank you for a great deal in a very timely manner.

I used to use another electric toothbrush and was a bit resistant to switch. But I am so glad that I did. I have been using the Sonicare Elite for over a year now and love how it makes my teeth feel...clean and taken care of. The brushes last a long time and are effective in cleaning and getting in between the teeth to thoroughly clean. My electric toothbrush is an integral part of my dental hygiene regime.

The Sonicare toothbrush was recommended to me by my dentist a couple of years ago. She told me it was the best toothbrush I could use, and I definitely think she was right. Like other reviewers have said, the replacement heads are expensive. But costly dental work is MORE expensive! These brush heads are just the right size for the average adult mouth and get my teeth sparkly clean. The health of my gums has improved greatly since using the Sonicare, too. Here's a hint...Purchase these replacement heads under Amazon's subscription plan and you win two ways: You save money and you don't have to worry about ordering. It's all taken care of you automatically by Amazon. :-)

These heads easily run about $35 in retail stores. Signing up for subscription for this item is a good idea, especially with the discount. I only with that they had subscriptions that delivered in longer intervals, like once a year instead of once every 6 months.

Sonicare really is the best. Seems expensive, but buying new brush heads makes a difference, and spending some extra on your dental care is definitly worth it when you consider the money you're saving on fillings etc. in the long run.

My dental care has been much easier and more fun since I got a Philips Sonicare Elite about two years ago. I know my brushing is longer and more thorough and with less effort.
I use the subscription service to purchase new brush heads. The subscription service has been great. I get two new brush heads per month to re-supply 4 toothbrushes - one at home, one at work, one for my husband, and one for my mother, i.e. I start a new brush head at least every two months.
A new brush head feels so good!
Concerns:
(1) The rubber on/off switch on my Philips Sonicare Elite toothbrush at home is starting to tear around the edges and cave in. I am afraid that water will soon leak in and short out the battery.
(2) The joint where the handle screws into the brush head leaks water into the handle, which if not cleaned daily can produce a foul smell. Thus I clean it daily.
All in all, I am very happy with this product.

My son always had trouble keeping his teeth clean from plaque build-up. I bought this new toothbrush and the dentist noticed how much cleaner his teeth were at his 6 month check up!
