Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare HX6932/10 FlexCare RS930 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush
Customer Review: Get Buzy Buffing Your Chompers
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this toothbrush following a recommendation from a dental hygienist, who only said two words: "Philips" and "sonic." So I was on my own trying to winnow down the wide array of models and features available online and at local retail stores. I settled on this unit based on several positive reviews, its feature set, and the fact that for $5 more than the next model down, it came with the UV sanitizer feature. Although that is an unnecessary embellishment, I thought what can it hurt to try it out for about 3% more money?
I have now been using the Sonicare Flexcare for more than 90 days, and I have to say I am extremely pleased at its performance so far. The sonic action really does leave my teeth and gumline feeling cleaner than I was EVER able to get them by manual brushing, and I have even seen slight improvement in my periodontal situation (some moderately deep pockets). Of course I did start with a pair of very thorough periodontal cleanings 3 months apart, but my periodontist and hygienists agree than the Sonicare is an outstanding dental home-care maintenance tool.
The features on this unit all work as advertised, and are actually handy. I found the 14-use "ramp-up", which slowly increases the brushing to full-power over about a week's time, to be a good way to ease into the Sonicare experience, which can be startling for a newbie. This is a very powerful cleaning tool, unlike anything I have ever felt, other than at the dentist's office. I normally use the "MaxCare" cycle, 30 seconds of cleaning plus 15 seconds of massage on each quadrant. The regular "Clean" cycle (30 seconds of cleaning per quadrant) is fine for the morning brushing. The "GoCare" cycle (15 seconds of cleaning per quadrant) is fine if you're in a hurry, or just want to touch up The "Sensitive" cycle will probably come in handy as I ease back into brushing following any future dental work or periodontal surgery. The "Massage" cycle is fine for some gum stimulation.
I find the feature that makes the toothbrush "burp", a tiny pause and beep after each of the first three segments of a cycle, to be also extremely handy. I don't have to keep track of time, I just switch to the next quadrant when the toothbrush tells me to. The brush heads fit perfectly, and do not seem to get any gunk underneath where they attach to the unit. I do take the brush head off and clean the mounting post about once every 8-10 days. The battery seems excellent: the instructions say a full charge takes 24 hours, so when the battery indicator has been on one green bar (out of three) for a couple days, I put the unit on the charger after my evening usage, and leave it there for 24 hours, using a manual brush the next morning. The charge has lasted at least 10 days per, so far, or at least 20 cycles. It might even go longer, but it's probably bad for the battery to drain it all the way. BTW, I do NOT keep the unit on the charger, but stand it up next to it. I believe it is better for the battery to "cycle" all the way up and most of the way down, rather than keep it fully charged all the time. Your experience and intuition may vary.
I use the sanitizer about once a week, putting the brush head in the little compartment after the evening brushing, firing up the UV light, and then wiping off the unit's mounting post. The sanitizing cycle takes only 10-15 minutes, and shuts itself off automagically. So far, I have avoided any hideous mouth diseases (except for my pre-existing periodontal disease), but I didn't contract any in my previous 55 years of non-sanitized toothbrush use, so I can't say this UV sanitizing thing is too essential. Might be good if you shared the brush AND the brush head. (Yuck-o!)
I was able to buy extra brush heads for about $8.50 apiece for a 3-pack, cheaper than retail. Philips also sent me one free one as a purchase bonus for signing up online with them. You're supposed to change the brush head every 90 days, but you can probably go 4-6 months between new heads without diminishing brushing effectiveness too much. Since you actually do NOT need to press the brush hard against the tooth and gumline surfaces, the brush does not wear out and get ragged as quickly as a manual brush.
Regarding criticisms that this toothbrush spurts toothpaste and water all over, is difficult to use, make a deafening sound, is accidentally activated, etc, I can only say that some people clearly did not read the instructions carefully. I have found NONE of these flaws and, if used correctly, the unit is fairly easy to use. It should be held lightly but firmly, not clenched in one's fist, taking care to keep your fingers off the various buttons on the front. No "brushing" motion is required: simply moving the buzzing brush head over the tooth surface and gumline at about a 45 degree angle does the trick. My teeth feel cleaner than they have ever felt, and seem to stay that way between professional cleanings. I have also noticed an appreciable increase in the overall "whiteness" of my smile, an unexpected benefit.
I cannot speak to the longevity of this product, but the two-year warranty should take care of any issues. If it breaks in month 25 of my ownership, I will definitely buy another one- it's still cheaper than dental work! To possibly improve my chances for toothbrush longevity, I rinse the brush head and toothbrush body briefly under running water after usage, dry it lightly with a hand towel, and flick it a few times to shake the excess water off the brush head. So far, I am VERY pleased with this product, and recommend it unconditionally to anyone seeking to maintain and augment their professional dental care.
SEMI-DISCLAIMER: My dad is a retired dentist (practiced 45 years) and had nothing to say about, or add to, this review. I showed him the toothbrush, he felt the buzzing brush head with his finger, and said, "Huh. Might have to get one."
