I had one of those Philips Sonicare things (I don't know which model but it looks similar I suppose).
I used it in the shower quite often and....a 1 or 2 years later (or maybe 1.5yrs...can't remember)
the motor got weaker and then stopped working.
Maybe it's not as waterproof as they claim?
Anyway it was a good toothbrush but was very expensive so
lasting about 1 year and a bit isn't good enough (I DON'T KNOW if the failure was due
to using it under flowing water....maybe it would have happened anyway for all I know....)
but for £10 on a similar model....I want one!
At this price....I can afford to mess it up again!
I guess I'll be brushing and showering at the same time
for another year. :man: (Just gotta find a Morrison's shop with one for this price.)
Silently waiting for people to judge me. :confused:
Heat added. :smiley:

Ive had one for nearly 3 years, bought in boots sale. Battery still charges and I prefer the quality of this to my old oral b tooth brush.

You should contact Philips! I bought my first one in 2011 or something and it does come with a 2 year warranty which is good because it has failed me a couple of times. But as long as you contact them within the 2 years, they will replace it completely. :smile: Can't fault their customer service.
£10 sounds great for any electric toothbrush.

Nothing like their normal range. If you have used one of theirs before you will realise the difference and be disappointed.

What's the difference?
And what's better, this or a random/cheap Oral B model?
Do either hurt your gums or are both gentle?

Thanks! But unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find the receipt. :neutral_face:
Maybe I threw it away. :neutral_face:

Had three sonicare toothbrushes. They are great to use but just like anything else made by philips they only lasted a couple of years each.

Agree. I've had two replaced under warranty as they seem to have a built in destruct date set. All started to switch themselves on and off randomly during the night then failed to charge. worth noting that my dentist warned me that I should used these sonics anywhere near a crown or bridge as they rattle the cement loose. So true, I had to have a crown reseated twice until I moved over to the Braun models that just use fast motion rather than sonic pulses. Having said that, the Philips sonic models are great as long as you still have your original teeth. :smile:

They do have a built in destructive date - there is a piece of metal inside that connects to the brushhead and after so many uses it will suffer metal fatigue from being vibrated and break. After about 1.5 years use. However, the ultrasonic brushes are currently the best brushes on the market - they clean upto 3mm below the gum and break up tartar formation, reversing dangerous gum disease and periodontal ligament destruction. The Lidl or Aldi version is just as good as the Phillips. This is a great price though.
