Every so often, I am contacted by manufacturers of healthcare equipment to ask me to trial their products this week it is the turn of the Phillips Sonicare Toothbrush.

Over the past five to seven days, I have been using this toothbrush, to see how it performs and my thoughts on it.

Design and appearance

The toothbrush is very well designed. It is made of hard plastic, which feels very soft to the touch when you are holding this toothbrush in your hand. You can tell it’s a quality product it has a very comfortable ergonomic feel to it.

Comparison to a manual toothbrush

Compared to using a manual toothbrush, I think that electric toothbrushes are superior, I have been using electric toothbrushes for quite some time now and feel that they clean your teeth far better than a nornal brush does.

And as far as this toothbrush is concerned, to me, it felt as if that I had my teeth cleaned at the dentists. It doesn’t get much better than that, the angled head made cleaning my teeth very easy, especially getting into those awkward places.

USB travel case

This brush has something that I have never seen before. As regards charging you get a USB charging case with it, which is ideal for traveling. You may not want to take the glass and charging stand with you when you are going on holiday.

All you need to do is plug the two pin socket into the mains put the toothbrush in the case and connect the other end of the USB cable into the case, and you are set to go. Yet another well-thought-out idea, which other electric toothbrushes don’t incorporate.

Personally, I don’t do a lot of traveling. However, if I was to, I would certainly have no problem taking this toothbrush on holiday with me. Alternatively, if I was on the road for any length of time. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a way to charge it through the USB cable in a car. I could see this being handy for traveling salesman and reps which is another plus point.

Setting up and charging

When you unpack the toothbrush you can either use a stand to charge it or put it into the charging glass. When I first saw this I found it a bit odd, as I do own a couple of other electric toothbrushes but have never come across this before.

You put the stand underneath the glass and put the toothbrush in the glass, when you do this, It will start to charge. As electric toothbrushes go, this must be one of the novelist ideas I have seen as far as charging technology goes. From when you first get it. It takes 24 hours approximately two achieve a full charge.

Cleaning modes

The Sonicare Diamond has five cleaning modes during my trial period. I just used one, which was clean the others are white, polish, gum care, sensitive, the cleaning mode, the mode I used was more than adequate for me.

Intelligent smart timer

The recommended time that you’re supposed to clean your teeth for is two minutes, this can be quite difficult to gauge if you’re using a manual toothbrush or surprisingly enough, an electric one.

I have another electric toothbrush, which is of the rotary kind and this pulsates for a longer period of time. When you need to stop brushing. The only problem with this is if you are doing something else while brushing your teeth. You can possibly get it mixed up with the notification that tells you that you need to brush in a different part of your teeth.

Phillips have really thought this one through as far as I’m concerned. When the two minutes is up it turns off, this is such a simple feature. But very effective, I feel.

How my gums and teeth feel after a week

I have been using the toothbrush now for approximately seven days. My teeth feel very smooth like polished stones, and my gums feel very clean and healthy.

Whiteness off teeth

This is a difficult one for me to gauge as my teeth are slightly discoloured. And at present, we have no bathroom mirror. So I can’t really see my teeth close up properly. However, I imagine, if your teeth are white this toothbrush would keep them in that state. On Phillips’s website, it says that this toothbrush is four times more effective at removing plaque compared to a manual toothbrush.

I give this toothbrush full marks of 10 out of 10, I have really enjoyed reviewing this toothbrush, and glad that Phillips chose me to review it for them.
