5.0 out of 5 stars Much easier to clean than older models, and works overseas., June 28, 2008

By	Two kids mom "scienceteachermom" (Tijeras, NM United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

(What's this?)

I was first introduced to Sonicare products about 1993. My dentist came back from a
convention and told me that with my dental history (crowns, root canals, and one of the first dental implants) I HAD to have one of these. He set me up on a payment plan for the 250 dollar plus toothbrush. To start using it you had to put in bunch of rings. It tickled like crazy but I got used to it.
Since then I have always had a Sonicare. I always loved them, EXCEPT for keeping them clean. This toothbrush finally addresses those issues.

There is no longer a "ring" collar and a hollow portion in the handle where the magnetic portion of the brush would go. This always got full of gunk and had to be cleaned with a Q-tip. Gunk would also collect between the ring and the brush portion. This problem is eliminated with this new model. The brush head is completely different and simply sticks onto a "spike" that comes out of the top of the brush. There are no crevices for dirt and toothpaste to accumulate. The charging base is also now different, it no longer has an indentation to get dirty. The brush simply sits on a small spike on a flat surface. This, however, does make it easier to knock the toothbrush over, but I will take that for not having to clean out the charger with an old toothbrush.

The toothbrush initially starts with a "ramp up" period, which allows you to get used to the vibrations in your mouth over a few weeks of brushing. If you already have used a Sonicare you can simply put the brush on the base, hold down the button and it will automatically go to full power, you can also reverse this process to re-initialize the toothbrush back to the ramp up mode. If you get the brush and it does not seem as powerful as your old one, you need to skip over this "getting used to it period" by resetting the toothbrush.

The brush head itself is different from my current "Elite" model. This brushhead has a few longer bristles at the top which seem to vibrate faster and clean deeper. That took a little getting used to, I had to switch to the "sensitive" mode for a few of my teeth with extensive dental work. The handle feels more nimble in your hand and the brushhead smaller.


Another great feature, the charger can now be used overseas without a voltage converter. You do need a plug so you can physically plug it in (so the prongs match the prongs in whatever country you are visiting) (like Lenmar AC5 World Travel Adapter/Converter Plug Set) but you do not need a transformer. They don't say this in the product description on Amazon, but it is spelled out in the manual.

I am not sure how to determine if my teeth are whiter. I have been using the "clean and white" except on a few teeth. It would be neat if they included a chart in the box so you could test the "before" and "after". My teeth do not feel any cleaner than when I was using the Sonicare Elite, but my gums do seem to be bleeding less when I floss. I am not sure if that is due to the little extra length fibers on the brushhead or a different vibration pattern.

If you have a more recent Sonicare I would not run out to get this one, but would seriously consider it once you have used up your brushheads. Or hand down your older
model to your kids and upgrade. If you travel a lot, this is the one to get, you can use it without worrying about running out of charge. It is a lot easier to keep clean.

Although I usually do not send in warranty cards I do for Sonicare. They are will send you coupons for money off new brushheads and I also once had one that quit after 7 months. I called them, they looked up my warranty and sent me a new one in the mail right away.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its the Flexcare only without the UV sanitizer, July 17, 2008

By	Paladin08 (Folsom, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

(What's this?)

Back in Sept 2007 I got my hands on the Philips Sonicare FlexCare Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush with Sanitizer. I loved it!

- two different size brushes depending on your mouth size
- Timer to ensure you hit all 4 quadrants of your mouth in a 2 minute timeframe
- additional travel charger
- UV sanitizer to kill bacteria on the brush heads and it has a charger built into the stand
- 3 Modes: Clean, Sensitive Teeth and Massage
- 2 year warranty

It's a great product for under $150 now on Amazon. Considering you could spend (with insurance ) $100 for a simple filling, this is a worthy investment.

Now 10 months later arrives the Philips Sonicare R732 HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush.

Everything is basically the same (2 brush heads, travel charger, etc.) . . .except . . . no UV Cleaner/charger and no Massage mode. Instead of Massage mode you get a "whitening mode.

NOWHERE in the product description or the documentation can I find what the extra "whitening" feature is or does. From what I can tell, whitening mode an additional 30 seconds of cleaning of the front visible teeth after you've done the initial 2 minute Clean mode.

Nothing other than a longer timer!
You could easily just start the quadrant timer all over again if you wanted more brushing time and stop it when you've had enough.

OVERALL:
Both of these are great toothbrushes.
If you don't want the UV Cleaner/Charger combo get the R732 model and save about $20. But for ONLY $20 more,you get the Flexcare, which in essence gives you two chargers. . .the one that sits on the counter with the UV cleaner and the travel charger.

They both use the same brush head replacements.

I would have given this a 3 star due to the blatant marketing ploy of the product. But because it is the best toothbrush I've ever experienced, it gets bumped to a 4 star.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Philips power toothbrush, July 24, 2008

By	Justin Gaines "Corporate Rocker" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

(What's this?)

With their new Sonicare HealthyWhite power toothbrush, Philips has managed to put a new spin on the teeth whitening trend that has taken off in recent years. What sets the HealthyWhite apart from the crowd is that the brush's whitening feature doesn't come from chemicals, special toothpaste, or any other product. Instead the brush is programmed with a special 30-second whitening session that focuses on the front teeth and is designed to better remove stains than the standard cycle. This is a neat idea, and it does work to some extent, though I recall experiencing a similar whitening effect when I switched from a manual toothbrush to the Philips Sonicare FlexCare brush a few months ago.

The unit comes with a charging station (with a sturdy cover for home use), travel pouch, an extra brush head, and three colored rings that can be used to identify different brush heads. Another perk is that the battery charge lasts about two weeks, which means that even though the charger is compact, you don't even need to bring it with you on trips.

I'm not totally convinced by the whitening feature, but the brush itself is leaps and bounds better than the old manual toothbrush, and the quality level is exactly what I've come to expect from Philips' line of power toothbrushes.
