Philips SonicareFlexCare Platinum HX9171/20 Sonic electric toothbrush

Just got the sonic care 5100 series toothbrush. I can’t be much happier!!!! The best ever. I hope it will not disappoint me. Super slick design, powerful and easy. Thank you!

Easy to use, excellent performance, exquisite design but quite expensive.

It leaves my teeth feeling like they do immediately after a visit to the Dental Hygienist. What more could one ask for? It's brilliant.

I feel my health care is much better with philips toothbrush. The whole se t is very useful and handy. I love this product. Great customer care.

An excellent product. I've been using Philips toothbrushes for many years, and after my previous model gave up the ghost (after 5 years), I was thrilled with this more premium model. The adaptive clean brush head, ensures that I don't 'over-work' the brush head, meaning I don't use the heads up in a matter of weeks. The carry case is excellent as I do a lot of travelling, and this helps to protect the brush head further. The three different clean modes are ideal, whether you're after a deep clean (1-2/week), a whitening clean (before a night out), or a regular day to day clean. Highly recommend!

I bought this toothbrush to replace one from an alternative make. I had always been impressed with the cleaning performance of the others I had bought, but disappointed that the internal rechargeable batteries degraded within 2 years. As the Philips Sonicare toothbrushes use Liithium ion batteries I was expecting these to last longer. After 3 and a half years of use, the battery life is still good, however the toothbrush has become much noisier in use, and recently has developed a fault where it momentarily stalls during use. I contacted Philips support, who could not offer a repair as the device was out of warranty and for hygienic reasons. They admitted that failure of this device in this way and after this period of use is unusual, but offered nothing other than a 25% discount on a new purchase which would only be valid if purchased directly from Philips. As this was their only offer I accepted it, although I could probably get a better discount from Boots, Argos or Superdrug. I'm still waiting for the discount voucher to arrive. In summary, whilst I was impressed with the cleaning quality and battery life in comparison to other bands I have used, for the price differential I could probably buy three or more of those for the price of the Philips, and which from personal experience would probably give me twice as long overall use. I was certainly disappointed that Philips would not offer an out of warranty repair for a product that has obviously degraded and developed a fault well within their own claims of reliability and durability.

My 2nd Philips sonic care but this one has been disappointing as it hasn't lasted long. Motor has failed after a couple of years.
