Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, with Pressure Sensor, 3 Cleaning Modes, SmarTimer and QuadPacer, with 2 Bonus Brush Heads, Travel Case, Black, Model HX6423/34

Lifetime Manual Brusher is Very Pleased
My dentist and hygienist finally talked me into getting a sonic toothbrush. I had avoided battery operated toothbrushes as my experience with the old side to side models in the 1970’s was dismal. After searching Consumer Reports and Amazon reviews I finally selected the Sonicare 5300 model.The product arrived in perfect condition, already charged and included 3 brushes. My first impression was its slim, well designed, light weight and well made. It has 3 settings as advertised and they are super easy to change.I followed the directions which came with it (I included flossing first). It was a bit strange as only a dab of toothpaste is needed, and the brush head does all the work. Just glide it over the teeth with mouth closed at a 45-degree angle for 30 seconds per quadrant (4 quadrants to the teeth or 2 minutes total). The beep tells you to move to another quadrant. So easy!My teeth felt VERY clean which honestly surprised me. I’ll continue using it twice a day until my next appointment in 6 months and see if it gets approval for keeping my teeth plaque free. I don’t care so much about its whitening effect as I enjoy my coffee and tea – I am concerned about plaque which is caused by bacteria’s actions with sugars and carbs left on the teeth. Also, as a senior, I want to have it stimulate my gums to avoid premature shrinkage.I opted to NOT get the pricier models that had smartphone app features as that’s just something else that can go wrong, harvest information, become obsolete, clutter the smartphone, etc. Keep it simple. The 5300 works well; will likely need to buy a new one in 5 or 10 years if the battery goes out. Otherwise, its a definite “keeper”.

Very Good Choice for a Basic Electric Toothbrush
I’ve had a few electric toothbrushes over the years and this one might be my fave.First of all, I love the small footprint. It takes up almost no space on my sink. Of course it sits in the cradle vertically, but the cradle is so tiny. The toothbrush just easily pops on and off for usage.There are a few different settings with this toothbrush. I don’t like a toothbrush telling me when to switch areas, so I just have it set for a couple minutes and move it around. So easy!The brush works great and replacement heads are easy to find here or on Phillips’ website.For the price, this is a great basic, easy to use electric toothbrush.

A great option over a standard toothbrush
What started as having just one of these in our household has turned into the whole family using these Sonicare toothbrushes. Having considered all the various models this particular one proved perfect for our use case. We have 5 of these in our household. We do have the white and black models and either are based on preference but over time I tend to think that even though the black (this model) might show residue easier that also makes it easier to see and clean and it’s possible the white could discolor over time.The travel case is a nice feature to have. Have not traveled with it as of yet to see how functional and how much room it may consume if trying to travel light but it’s there. The is not enough room to also store the charger in the case but will hold the handle and the brush (separated from the handle) in the included durable travel case. It does come with two additional brushes which is nice. The charging base is a standard two prong plug. Be cautious as some models seem to have a USB charging base that would require an additional purchase of a charger to charge in a standard outlet.This model has three settings with lighting for each. The bottom of the two buttons easily move through each setting with each press. There is a low battery indicator as well.Brushing with this is amazing. It’s much more effective than a standard toothbrush or any standard electric toothbrush used over time. Even the kids notice how much cleaner their teeth seem after a use. Brushing harder is not good on teeth as any dentist has told me over time so this brush helps regulate how you brush. You don’t have to brush with the Sonicare. The Sonicare does the brushing. You can simply slowly guide the brush over your teeth and let the Sonicare do its job. If the brush is pressed too hard against the teeth the Sonicare vibrations will halt as a sign you are trying to brush too hard.Overall this device is highly recommended and it’s even better if you watch for a good deal that does or had occurred periodically.

excellent product

Llevo 3 días de uso, los dientes quedan muy limpios, si sucede algo negativo regresaré a dar una actualización de esta opinión. Pero hasta ahora estoy muy agusto con este producto.

Este cepillo es una muy buena opción para cambiar tu cepillo tradicional, ya que disminuye la velocidad si estás cepillando muy fuerte, evita que lastimes y te sangren las encías, tiene un medidor de tiempo que te indica cuando cambiar de cuadrante y el cepillo hace todo, tú solo tienes que deslizarlo por la superficie de tus dientes, yo lo estoy usando para ortodoncia y el cepillado es muy fácil.
