Product Description

Amazon.com Review

By combining 31,000 brush strokes per minute and gentle sonic waves, Sonicare electric toothbrushes scrub away decay-causing plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than ordinary toothbrushes. Two full-refund guarantees are offered on this model (30-day satisfaction guarantee and 90-day improved-care guarantee), plus a 1-year warranty on the handle against defects. This Sonicare model shuts off after 2 minutes to indicate when cleaning time attains the recommended duration (the brush can be restarted), and ramps up to full speed slowly over the first 12 uses to reduce soreness for people unaccustomed to thorough cleaning (this feature can be turned off). The power handle holds a charge for about two weeks. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, November 16, 2000

This review is from: Sonicare PS-1 Sonic Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)

I've had a Sonicare for approx. 6 months and can say that it does a great job. I feel that this toothbrush does a much better job of cleaning your teeth and gums than traditional toothbrushes.

Features: The Sonicare provides a timed, two-minute automatic shutoff. My experience: I've found this timer reinforces spending an adequate amount of time to get a thorough cleaning. My natural tendancy is to keep brushing until the auto-shutoff kicks off, rather than turning it off prematurely.

This toothbrush slowly builds up it's speed during the first twelve uses, allowing the user to get comfortable with the sensation of vibration. My experience: The sensation of the toothbrush's vibration seemed strange for the first use or two, but I quickly felt comfortable with using it.

I regularly take this toothbrush on the road, away from it's charger for up to a week at a time, without any reduction in it's usability or brushing speed.

The charger base is well designed, not requiring the toothbrush to make a connection which may wear over time. Simply place the brush into the base, and the battery is charged via a wireless conneciton.

One quick word of advice: If you purchase and begin using this product, you'll need to remember not to remove it from your mouth until after it has been shutoff. Once, while rushing to get to work, I forgot to follow this simple rule and ended up with 'brush spray' going everywhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, October 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Sonicare PS-1 Sonic Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)

I've owned a Sonicare Sonic toothbrush for 2 years. It is worth the money because: 1 - my gums are truly stronger 2 - my teeth stay whiter 3 - (and most important) I don't have to hear the lecture about gum disease when I visit my dentist.

This one product has greatly improved my dental exams. The batteries also allow me to take it on one week road trips without the charger.

My husband and I received one for Christmas last year and we love it. The toothbrush and toothbrushes are a little pricey but if you wait and look around, usually the warehouse stores will have 2 in a package for a great price. After using, your teeth and gums feel great. Even my dental checkups came out better. I would highly reccomend.c
