Philips Sonicare 5000 Power Toothbrush

After about four months of twice-daily use, my gums are noticeably healthier. Less bleeding, less sensitivity. I've always struggled with dental hygiene, and this Sonicare has been a better option than what I was doing before. I'm still learning the cleaning pattern, but the product is great overall. My one complaint is that the two-minute cycle doesn't always start when it's supposed to.

This is a great economical power toothbrush that I'd recommend to anyone who hasn't tried one before. The two-minute timer on the clean setting is probably the most important feature because you just press the power button and brush without thinking about how long to go. My gums feel healthy and don't get chewed up like they used to with the spinning models. The Sonicare uses a back-and-forth vibration instead, which I find much less aggressive and less damaging. The battery life is solid. The longest I've tested it is a three-night weekend trip, and I didn't even have to consider bringing the charger. At home I always charge it overnight on its stand, so it's always ready to go. That's super helpful because nothing is worse than using a mediocre disposable toothbrush for a whole weekend. Everyone in our house uses a power toothbrush because we know brushing for two minutes twice a day is the best way to prevent cavities. We all have something comparable and we trust the Philips Sonicare brand. It's a reputable, long-term toothbrush that's worth the investment and fits the needs of our family at a great price point.

After months of daily use, this toothbrush still gives me that after-dentist clean feeling every single time. My teeth feel incredibly smooth with no plaque buildup. I've had electric toothbrushes in the past that broke easily, so I'd gone back to a manual brush, but this one has held up great over a couple months of twice-daily use, every morning and every night. The battery life is excellent. I rarely have to charge it. I also love that there are different modes so I can ramp up the vibration intensity on days when my teeth feel a little dirtier. Being able to replace just the heads when they wear out instead of buying a whole new toothbrush is a big plus too. It's also incredibly easy to use. There's no real setup, and the directions for changing settings are simple and straightforward. I would highly recommend this toothbrush.

This Philips Sonicare 5000 completely turned around my bleeding gum problems. After many months of use, my gums don't bleed at all now, and it cleans all areas of the mouth thoroughly and efficiently. It took quite a few days initially before I started seeing improvement, but the results have been dramatic. The different settings are a real plus. I can switch between pulsing and a steadier brushing mode, which makes massaging the gums very comfortable. I actually love it even more now than when I first started using it.

This is a solid electric toothbrush, especially if you like the pressure notification feature that gives you haptic feedback when you're brushing too hard. I've been using Philips Sonicare toothbrushes for years and my dentist regularly asks what I use so he can recommend it to other patients. After several months with this newer model, my oral health remains great, which is consistent with my experience on the older version. My one complaint is the sensitive setting. Even adjusted to the lowest setting per the manual, it doesn't feel quite as gentle as the sensitive mode on my previous Sonicare. I wish they offered a more gentle option. If you're someone who needs a really soft touch, that's worth knowing. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward if you're familiar with electric toothbrushes. The pressure sensor is a nice addition, but beyond that it's a standard Sonicare experience.

This toothbrush works excellent and compares nicely to other Sonicare toothbrushes I've used. I've been using it every day for about three months, twice a day, and I haven't found any limitations. The battery life lasts a very long time, even when it's not on the charger. I prefer just the regular setting. I tried the gum brushing portion but didn't care for it. The only improvement I would make is the rubber seal underneath the toothbrush head, which can get moldy if you don't let it air out completely after brushing. This happens every single time with this type of toothbrush unless you remove the head. I take it off every night to let it air dry overnight and haven't had any mold problems.

Still going strong months later and it's a 5 out of 5 for me. The battery life is my favorite part. I charge it fully and it lasts two full weeks of morning and night brushing on high power, which makes it great for travel or if you're just a busy mom who forgets to charge a toothbrush. I use the clean mode at high power and it gets the gum line squeaky clean. I've always had pretty good dental health, and this toothbrush has helped me continue that. I love the shape of the brush head. Compared to the round brush heads I've used on other brands, this longer, more traditional shape covers more area with each stroke. It's continued to work well for me. The toothbrush does have some volume to it, but compared to other electric toothbrushes it's average. Not super loud, not silent like a manual toothbrush, and nothing overwhelming. I'm never brushing my teeth in secret, so it doesn't bother me at all. If you're a first-time electric toothbrush buyer, getting the proper angle at the gum line may take a couple seconds of practice, but you adjust quickly. The pressure sensor also helps ensure you're never pressing too hard.

I really loved this toothbrush while it worked. It got my teeth very, very clean, it was super quiet, and it looked nice on the counter. Unfortunately, it lasted only about three months before it stopped turning on entirely. I YouTubed videos and tried everything I could find, but I still can't get it to work. Now I'm back to my manual toothbrush and very sad about it. Before it died, the experience was genuinely great. It has two modes, a teeth-brushing mode and a gum-massaging mode, and both were excellent. It came with an extra brush head, which was a nice touch. My one small gripe while using it was that if I didn't brush for the full two minutes, it would keep beeping unless I took it off the charger. That was a minor annoyance compared to losing the toothbrush altogether after such a short time. I was using a manual toothbrush before this, so stepping up to a power toothbrush was exciting. I just wish it had lasted longer.

The Sonicare 5000 has been a game changer for my gum health. After about six months of twice-daily use, I've seen major improvement, and my gums started getting healthier within the first few weeks. I don't experience any real sensitivity anymore. My teeth feel so much cleaner than they ever did with a manual toothbrush, and I just feel more confident overall. The battery lasts a good long time. I only have to charge it every couple of weeks, and it charges fast, which I really appreciate since I like to travel. I can just charge it up before I leave and take it with me. If you haven't used an electric toothbrush before, it can feel very weird at first, but it's worth sticking with it.

I'm unable to write a meaningful review from this transcript. The reviewer didn't share any opinions, experiences, or information about the Philips Sonicare 5000 Power Toothbrush. "Thank you for watching!" contains no reviewable content to synthesize.

My gums were in rough shape before this, with regular bleeding and just overall unhealthy-looking teeth. After a few weeks of using the Sonicare 5000, the bleeding completely stopped, and my gums visibly look healthier. I've been using it for about four or five months now and the improvement has held. The adjustable vibration intensity is a feature I really appreciate. I have some sensitive areas where higher settings can hurt a bit, so being able to dial it down makes a big difference. Even the lower settings clean really well. I've owned an electric toothbrush before, but it doesn't compare with this one. The battery life lasts a very long time and charging is very convenient. If you're considering buying one, I'd recommend figuring out what kind of brush head suits your needs and what benefits you're looking for. It's also worth finding replacement brush heads early so you're prepared when the time comes.

This toothbrush works really well and cleans noticeably better than a manual toothbrush. My teeth feel significantly cleaner, and I've seen a real difference in plaque buildup. My dental cleanings every six months are way quicker now because there just isn't much plaque to scrape off. The battery life is amazing, and I've used it daily for several weeks before it needs charging. It takes a little bit to get used to applying the right amount of pressure when brushing, but once I adjusted to that I love the feel. It's also very easy to keep clean. I just rinse the brush head really well and occasionally wash off the body. It feels well made and I think it should last a long time.

This is a solid, easy-to-use electric toothbrush that I've had no real complaints about after a few months of consistent use. It doesn't require any previous knowledge of electric toothbrushes to pick up and start using right away. I like having the different brush modes. I usually keep it on the higher pressure clean setting because it feels like it's brushing more thoroughly, and since I don't have sensitive gums, I appreciate that extra intensity. Compared to my previous electric toothbrush, they're pretty similar in terms of ease of use and how clean my teeth feel, but I do appreciate having more mode options. The battery life has been great, and it looks nice sitting on the counter. My dental health has stayed consistent. I haven't noticed changes in gum health or whiteness, but nothing has gotten worse either. I've put my old toothbrush away and I'm still reaching for this one every day.

This toothbrush is totally worth it. My dentist says my teeth are cleaner than they've ever been, and I even have a few cavities that haven't shown any progression since I started using it. I've been using it for a few months now and honestly I've quit using manual toothbrushes. The timer feature is awesome. Every 20 seconds or so you hear a beep that tells you to move to a different area of your mouth. I separate mine into front, side, side, and do that on both top and bottom, then switch between each area every beep. It l ensures I cover my entire mouth during brushing without worrying that I missed anywhere. The battery life is incredible. I can go over a week without recharging and it still functions perfectly. That means I don't have to worry about accidentally forgetting my charger when I go out of town, on vacation, or even just for a weekend. No packing a separate charger, no worrying about losing it. It is powerful and I love the way it feels. It makes my teeth feel genuinely clean. It can seem a little expensive upfront, but I think it's totally worth it. Really, I like everything about this toothbrush.

This toothbrush cleans so much better than my manual toothbrush and even another electric toothbrush I've tried from a different company. With a regular toothbrush, I'd run my tongue over my teeth and still feel that gritty buildup, then have to brush again or use mouthwash. With the Sonicare 5000, one brushing and my teeth feel completely clean. I've been using it for about two to three months now, and I've noticed my teeth actually look a little whiter because the hard plaque that normally builds up just isn't as bad anymore. That's been amazing, especially since I deal with gum disease and a lot of plaque. The battery life is awesome. I've only charged it about two times since I've had it and it's still going. It lets me know way in advance when it needs charging, which gives me time to set it up, and it charges super quick. The brush head quality has been great too. I haven't even needed to replace it yet and it still looks brand new. I also love the built-in timer, because there have been so many times I'll just zone out while brushing, and the timer keeps me on track. The vibration intensity was definitely a learning curve. It was uncomfortable at first, but now I love it. The one thing I'm not loving is the plaque mode. It feels a little too harsh to the point that my gums bleed, so I've actually stopped using that mode for now while I get adjusted to it. Before this toothbrush, I was splitting time between an electric and a manual toothbrush. Now I use the Sonicare exclusively. I love it so much I'm thinking about investing in one for the whole family.

The Philips Sonicare 5000 is phenomenal. It cleans more thoroughly than any manual toothbrush I've ever used and outperforms other electric toothbrushes I've tried. I would 10 out of 10 recommend it to any one of my friends. The battery life is insane. I've been using it for a couple of months now, and I think I charged it once after a solid month of use. I haven't had to charge it again since. With other electric toothbrushes, it felt like by the end of the week I'd have to recharge them. I was actually pleasantly surprised because I anticipated needing to charge it way earlier than I did. The pressure alert feature is really nice. When you're pushing too hard, the brush makes a different sound than the normal brushing sound, and the brush head almost pauses for a moment so it doesn't brush quite as hard. I found out there are sections in my mouth where I put too much pressure on the toothbrush, so having that alert was genuinely helpful. I liked that it came with two different brush head options that go with two different cleaning modes. My mouth felt super clean at the end of every brushing. It's also not very loud and has a small footprint in my bathroom for charging and storage. I honestly can't think of anything about this toothbrush that didn't work as well as I hoped. I've used a lot of different toothbrushes over the years, and this one is the best I've experienced.

This is a really good toothbrush, especially for someone like me who's never used an electric before. The timer and pressure sensor are the standout features. I tend to brush too hard, and the pressure sensor lets me know right away, which has genuinely helped me ease up. The timer keeps me on track so I'm spending the right amount of time in each region of my mouth instead of manually counting in my head like I used to with my regular toothbrush. The cleaning mode I use most is the harder brush with gum health, which walks you through four regions on your teeth and then four regions on your gums. There's also a mode that skips the gum portion and just focuses on teeth, plus you can switch between a soft and hard brush setting. I feel like I'm getting at least as good of a clean as I did with my manual toothbrush, if not better, because now I'm also focusing on my gums. Battery life has been solid. I charge it overnight when it's running low and it's ready by morning, lasting me about two to three weeks on a single charge. The heads are removable so you can swap them out when they wear down, and it came with two. My one real complaint is that the pressure sensor and the region-switch indicator conflict with each other. If I'm brushing too hard at the exact moment it's supposed to tell me to move to the next area, I miss the switch notification entirely because the toothbrush is focused on the pressure alert. This happens at least once a week, and I end up spending extra time on an area that's already done with no way of knowing other than my own internal clock telling me it seems like it's been too long. I wish there were a better way to handle both notifications at once. I also initially thought the toothbrush was pretty quiet, but I've since noticed it's a bit louder than I originally thought. Not a big deal, just worth noting. Overall I'm happy with it and feel like it's been a solid upgrade from a manual toothbrush.

The Sonicare 5000 is a lovely toothbrush. After a few months of use, I've noticed real improvement in plaque removal between my teeth. You can actually feel the difference, like air reaching between your teeth where plaque used to sit. Everything feels smooth and clean. The brush head is sleek and small, which is perfect for my pretty small mouth. The vibration is gentle and tolerable, unlike some toothbrushes I've used in the past that vibrated way too hard. The timer feature is an absolute godsend. Sometimes you don't remember how long you've been brushing or you're not quite hitting the two-minute mark, so the timer is chef's kiss. My one wish is a more visible battery indicator. I ran out of battery on vacation once without my charger, and honestly that's partly on me for not paying attention. But for people who maybe don't track details closely or might have ADHD, having a prominent indicator that tells you something like "you've got five or ten minutes of brushing time left" would be really useful. The current indicator just isn't prominent enough. Overall it's a great experience. I've had pretty good dental health over the years since my mom's always managed a dental office, so I've had access to solid dental care, and this toothbrush fits right into that routine.

This Sonicare 5000 continues to deliver the same excellent clean I've come to expect from Sonicare, if not better. I've used Sonicare toothbrushes before and have always appreciated how clean my teeth feel afterward. The vibrations do a really great job knocking out buildup and grime. My favorite feature is the pressure sensor that notifies me when I'm pushing down too hard on my gums. The feedback feels like a little tiny buzz, very noticeable without being alarming or painful at all. It's great for gum health. The quad pacing feature is also very useful. The toothbrush runs four sequential timers with slight vibrations between each one, so the two minutes of brushing is divided into four sections: upper front, upper back, lower front, and lower back. It gives good peace of mind that I'm brushing everywhere I need to be. Battery life has been great. I'm able to take it on short trips and not run out of battery. Charging is super convenient because you just place it on the charging platform and carry on. There's nothing awkward to plug in and no batteries to replace. The one mode I haven't gotten much use out of is the gum cleaning setting. It adds an extra minute or so on top of the two minutes of regular brushing, which is a 50 percent increase in time. I'm not really clear on what kind of improvement it makes, and I think most people are just going to prioritize that time elsewhere. I was excited to upgrade to this toothbrush for the additional modes, but that particular one hasn't won me over yet.

This Sonicare 5000 delivers excellent cleaning power and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an electric toothbrush. The cleaning action feels great, the intensity is solid, and it's proven to do a better job than manual brushing. The built-in timer is awesome for making sure you brush for the right amount of time, and the whole thing is very straightforward and easy to use. My one issue is the brush head. The bristles are a bit stiffer than I'd like, and because they're all similar in length, they don't quite reach under the gum line or in between the teeth as well as I'd want. My previous Sonicare had a differently shaped head that I liked quite a bit more, with longer bristles in certain spots so you could angle the brush to get better coverage. I'd love to see a head design with longer bristles in the front or back to improve that. They do make replacement heads with different bristle setups, which is worth knowing. I've been using Sonicare for about 10 years after testing out multiple brands, and overall I'm happy with the cleaning performance here.

Big improvement over my old manual toothbrush. My teeth are cleaner, my gums are healthier, and my teeth look noticeably whiter. I started seeing those dental improvements within the first week, and they've held up over the few months I've been using it. The battery life is excellent, lasting a few weeks on a single charge, and the toothbrush isn't too hard on your gums or teeth. The brush head quality is great and swapping in new heads is really easy. I'm very happy with this one.

As a dental hygienist with 16 years of experience, I've recommended the Philips Sonicare to most of my patients, and this model continues to deliver. The elliptical motion of the bristles provides superior cleaning compared to the oscillating motion of other brands, and I've seen the difference firsthand in my own oral health, my family's, and my patients'. Those who use the Sonicare consistently have healthier mouths than those using manual toothbrushes or other electric brands. The current model compares pretty evenly with earlier versions I've used. While the technology has improved, Sonicare has stayed with that same elliptical motion, and I appreciate that because it's so efficient at cleaning teeth. Battery life remains excellent, which has always been a strong point for this brand. I also like that there are multiple brush head options to choose from, including a children's size that actually fits comfortably in a child's mouth. I will say I don't use the whitening option very often. It's a bit more intense, with more vibration designed to remove surface stains, and since I already have sensitivity, I stick with the original setting. Both settings are efficient, but the original is noticeably gentler since the bristles don't move quite as aggressively. If you're a first-time electric toothbrush buyer, there are different models with different functions based on price point. You definitely don't need the most expensive option with all the bells and whistles. The more affordable end of the lineup is going to be more than sufficient for someone who's never used an electric toothbrush before. Overall it's a great toothbrush and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for one.

This toothbrush has been absolutely life-changing for my dental health. Within six months, my gum health did a complete 180, and my dental hygienist was genuinely impressed, asking what I'd changed. I had a history of aggressive brushing that was causing my gums to recede, so finding the right toothbrush became my number one priority. The difference is noticeable almost immediately. Even from the first use, your mouth just feels cleaner and more comfortable than with a manual or another brand of power toothbrush. Within the first two weeks, I could already tell my gums were improving. The key is letting the toothbrush do the work for you instead of aggressively moving your hand back and forth. You just guide it around your mouth and it handles everything. The gum care mode is fantastic. It has a quieter, gentler spin that you can both hear and feel. You can adjust the power from light to medium to heavier, and all three settings are still extremely gentle on your gums. It really protects them without being too aggressive or creating further problems. The built-in timer is also a great feature for making sure you're brushing properly. This toothbrush absolutely blows other electric toothbrushes out of the water with all the different modes, the comfort of the bristles, the portability, and the battery life, which is extremely long. I will never go back to another toothbrush. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now, which is not something I could've always said in the past, and I credit that totally to the Philips Sonicare 5000.

The Philips Sonicare 5000 has done great things for my mouth. My gums used to bleed, and within a week of starting to use this toothbrush, they really stopped bleeding and were doing much better. It massages my gums beautifully and cleans my teeth with very little effort, leaving them sparkling. I've tried the different cleaning modes and they're all wonderful. The battery life is incredible. I think I've only had to charge it four or five times in the last few months, so it just stands up nicely on my counter without needing to be plugged in. I chose the black one and it looks great. I'm still using this toothbrush and loving it.

The Philips Sonicare 5000 has been fantastic for my dental health. I've had two dental visits since I started using it about six months ago, and both times I got a clean bill of health with zero cavities. Prior to this toothbrush, I was getting at least one cavity at every cleaning. I really like the different modes and especially the timer, which makes sure I'm brushing for a full two minutes per my dentist's recommendation. The battery life is incredible. The longest I've gone without charging was about 10 days while traveling, and it could have gone even longer. When I travel over the weekend I just throw it in my bag without worrying about bringing the charger. At home I just set it on the charger to store it at night. My teeth feel so much cleaner, and I can't go back to a manual toothbrush.

The Philips Sonicare 5100 works well overall. My teeth feel noticeably cleaner and smoother after brushing. The timer function is great, giving you a full two minutes and reminding you to change zones. That said, as a first-time electric toothbrush user, the plastic back of the brush head hitting my teeth feels jarring. It doesn't exactly hurt and hasn't done any damage, but it's a hard enough bump that it scares me a little each time. After several months I've gotten better at angling the brush to avoid it, but it still happens occasionally, and honestly it makes me less inclined to use the toothbrush. It might just be a me problem. One other thing to know: it makes toothpaste really foamy, so I sometimes have to pause mid-brush to spit so I'm not dripping toothpaste everywhere. Despite these quirks, the cleaning performance itself is solid.

This toothbrush has really improved my dental health, and I noticed the improvement within the first week and a half of use. The vibrating motion gets every little particle out from between my teeth, especially those trouble teeth in the back that are hard to reach on a normal basis. With a manual toothbrush, you just go back and forth and hope to get in the right spots. With the vibrating motion, you hold it kind of still and it does the work for you, getting through the debris better and faster. It definitely feels more comfortable than a regular toothbrush, and I love all the features. It runs on different settings and they're all great. I've been using it for a couple of months now. Just be mindful of when you replace the head. As with any toothbrush, you want to keep your brushes fresh so it can help you to the best of its ability.

My dentist said my teeth have never been cleaner, and I've noticed they've never been whiter. After about four to five months of using the Philips Sonicare 5000, the results speak for themselves. Plaque simply does not build up on my teeth the way it used to. It takes at least 24 hours before I feel any kind of buildup whatsoever, and by then I've already brushed again. I normally use it on the cleaning mode with high power, though it also has a low setting and a gum health mode. The built-in quad pacer is a great feature that reminds me to brush all four sections of my teeth. The toothbrush is simple to charge and holds a charge for almost a month, even with me brushing two to three times a day. I visit the dentist every six months, and the improvement has been noticeable to both me and my dentist. Overall I'm very happy with the Philips Sonicare 5000.

This brush delivers noticeable improvements in gum health and plaque removal. I could tell the difference compared to both my manual brush and my other electric toothbrush. This one just works very well. My gums felt better after only a few days of use. The vibration intensity is strong enough to do a thorough cleaning but not overly intense, which is a big plus for me since I have sensitive teeth. The brush head quality feels good too. It's also noticeably lighter than my previous electric brush, almost as light as a manual toothbrush, which was a really nice surprise. I had zero issues with battery life, cleaning, or maintenance. One thing to keep in mind: you'll want to have extra brush heads on hand at all times. I'd also suggest charging the battery regularly. I'm a pretty adamant brusher, morning, noon, and night, basically after most meals throughout the day. My dental health was already fine before switching to this brush, but the visible gum improvements and superior plaque removal have me thoroughly enjoying it. Both manual and electric brushes have their perks, but the clean you get from this one is great.

My teeth feel super clean after every use, and after about a year with the Philips Sonicare 5000, I've noticed real improvements in my gum health with less bleeding. I instantly noticed a difference in the texture of my teeth and gums when I started using it. They automatically felt smoother. The different vibration modes are genuinely useful. I typically stick to the deep massage mode, but the other settings are helpful for massaging your gums, getting in between the cracks in your teeth, or even cleaning your tongue. The pressure sensor is a nice touch too. I frequently try out the different modes to see how they affect the cleaning experience. It can feel a bit powerful in the beginning as you get used to the different sensors and vibrations, but once you adjust, it feels normal, natural, and easy to use. I won't go back to a manual toothbrush. I will continue using an electric toothbrush from now on.

I love this toothbrush. After a few months of use, my teeth feel so smooth and shiny, and my gum health has noticeably improved. I have less bleeding, my gums feel stronger, and when I've gone to the dentist, they say my gums look great. The bristles are gentle, and it does a great job getting into all the places in my mouth. One feature I really appreciate is the built-in timer that gives you a little pulse every 30 seconds so you know to move to the next section of your mouth. It's a small thing that makes a big difference. The one thing I'd note is that the vibration is pretty strong, even on the lowest setting, especially compared to a manual toothbrush. It kind of jiggles on your teeth and took some getting used to. At first it bothered me, but I've fully adjusted and it doesn't bother me anymore. I would recommend this toothbrush to anyone.

Love this toothbrush. I've been using it once or twice a day for a couple of months now and my last dentist visit came out great. The size is thinner than I expected, which makes it really easy to handle. I have gum issues, so the gum sensor is a nice feature for me. I usually just leave it on the clean setting and follow what my dentist has told me, and so far it's worked really well. It's way better than a manual toothbrush. The battery life has been excellent. I haven't had any issues with it lasting a long time between charges. My only gripe is the cost of the replacement heads. I buy them in bulk from Sam's Club, about $50 for eight, and I'd replace them more often if they were a little cheaper. As it stands, I use them as long as I can. Still, I'm willing to pay that for what I get with this toothbrush.

This toothbrush is just as good as any other electric brush I've used, and I'd recommend it to anyone. It's very comfortable, doesn't hurt my gums at all, and the automatic timer is a nice feature. The battery life seems good. I charge it each night and have never had a problem with it running out. I like that the head is easily removable so it can be washed and dried separately from the base. I'd suggest separating the two after every use so no dirt or mold can gather. I've had an electric toothbrush for many years and prefer one to really get along the gum line and eliminate plaque, and this one delivers.

This is a great electric toothbrush that cleans so well it feels like I've flossed and brushed at the same time. After several months of daily use, my teeth feel noticeably cleaner than they ever did with a manual toothbrush, and it does a good job on my gums as well. I do sometimes have sensitive gums, but this toothbrush doesn't irritate them, which is really nice. The multiple pressure sensors are a great touch, and the different vibration modes are kind of fun to play with. I use the mode with the most vibration because it makes my teeth feel the cleanest. The built-in timer is super helpful, and battery life has been great over the months I've been using it. It also has a really small footprint on the counter with its little charging cord, which I appreciate. I haven't noticed any whitening in the time I've been using it, but it cleans teeth exactly like you'd expect. One thing to be aware of: some of the packaging indicates it comes with a carrying case, but the model we got does not. If that's important to you, you might want to look at a different model. Overall, I definitely prefer this over a manual toothbrush. So far so good.

I'm giving this toothbrush a 10 out of 10. It gives results you not only see but feel. Truly clean teeth. Compared to other electric brushes I've used, this is my absolute favorite ever. I think any electric brush is going to be better than manual, but this one gives a truly deeper feeling and visibly cleaner result. I'm a bit of a harder brusher, and I did occasionally experience bleeding gums before using this. About a month and a half in, I noticed I wasn't seeing deep bleeding when I brushed anymore. My gum health has improved dramatically, and I really like that. I've been using it for about three or four months now. I haven't had any issues with battery life. It's fairly fast to charge and it lasts for days and days off a single charge. It's also not too loud. Don't get me wrong, you're still going to hear it, but it doesn't sound like a jet coming through your house. It's a reasonable loudness that isn't going to disturb anyone around you or feel like you're brushing your teeth with a drill. I love it so much. I would recommend it for anyone looking to up their self-care routine or just looking to maintain the best oral hygiene they possibly can.

This toothbrush does a solid job cleaning my teeth, on par with other electric toothbrushes I've used and far superior to any manual brush. My one real frustration is that it reverts to a lower mode (I think it's the gum care mode) every single time I turn it on, so I have to press the button twice to get back to my preferred setting. That's awkward to do while it's already vibrating in my mouth, and you can't take it out to do it without spraying toothpaste everywhere. The button also isn't in a natural spot for how I hold the toothbrush. I brush at least twice a day, so dealing with this every single time is the reason I gave it four stars instead of five. Beyond that annoyance, I really like this toothbrush. My teeth feel genuinely clean after every use. The four-quadrant timer is great for pacing and making sure I'm covering all sections of my mouth. The battery life is fantastic, holding a charge for several weeks between charges. It's been holding up well after several months of use. I've been using electric toothbrushes for many years now and find they do a better job cleaning my teeth and reduce my time in the dental chair. I just wish this one would remember the last mode I left it in rather than continuously reverting back.
