PHILIPSSonicare HX8911/02 HealthyWhite+ Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, White

This toothbrush redefines oral care; manual brushing does not clean sufficiently. I had long struggled with my oral care because manual brushing is slow and so I would brush quickly leading to excessive scrubbing. I soon remembered that it was bad for my gum health, I finally decided to spend the money on this well-built electric toothbrush that is probably the best model for the money. It cleans many times better than manual ever could and gets all the missing dirt before they become plaque which is a common issue for people who brush manually.With the HealthyWhite, you gain the advantage of a powerful motor that brushes as speedily and well as the top of the line model DiamondWhite that uses with the bristles-heavy DiamondWhite head (more bristles, the better it cleans your gums and teeth, fine-cleaning).It also comes with a travel pack which has been exceedingly useful and has protected my toothbrush from damage. It occurred to my cheaper Sonicare model which would not brush as usual after I packed it in a zipper bag and forgot to take the head off. The cheaper model also used a lower quality head with fewer bristles and the motor was weaker, so I am glad I broke it which forced me to buy a new one and choosing to opt for a more expensive model too with a pack. It led to my best cleaning experience I have ever had outside the dentist's office.The con is that it is not as features-rich as DiamondWhite, but that is so much more money. The HealthyWhite cleans just the same as DiamondWhite using the core mechanical Clean setting since they brush equivalently on maximum strength. The only difference is that the DW has more brush settings. I cannot state whether they make a difference, but I rarely use the White option on my HealthyWhite, so I highly doubt I will care about using DW's several brush settings and features. I am interested in only cleaning my teeth that should also whiten, improves gum health, and such simultaneously using the core Clean setting.I have had no issues with charging, and it lasts very long on a full charge. I am careful not just to leave it on the charger all the time since that can be bad for the battery depending on what kind. I think with careful use, this toothbrush can last for a while but I probably will purchase a new one after a year. After all, can you put a price on your oral health?

After using the Sonicare HX8911/02 for a week, my teeth feel smoother and noticeably whiter. I love the different intensity settings—it’s powerful but doesn’t hurt my gums. The long battery life and travel case make it super convenient too.

Exactly as described. The charger is super easy and portable, the battery length is accurate (3 weeks without charge), the brush head is easy to remove and replace, and the travel case is super convenient, eliminating the need to purchase those cheap plastic travel cases for those old toothbrushes that get gross quickly - the same toothbrushes you used to use before you bought your first electric toothbrush.This is my first electric toothbrush and I won't be switching back. If you're anything like me, you are probably skeptical about spending $100+ on a toothbrush and think it's a stupid investment. It's not. An electric toothbrush is claimed to clean as much in a single day of brushing as a manual toothbrush cleans in a month.Thanks to the built-in timer on this toothbrush, you can be sure that you're brushing the recommended amount of time every single time. As you're brushing you'll notice a very quick pause in the vibration of the brush, letting you know that 30 seconds have passed and it's time to move on. At the end of the 2 minutes the toothbrush will automatically shut off. If you choose the whitening mode, an extra 30 seconds will be added to the timer.In addition to the whitening mode, this toothbrush comes with 3 different power settings that change the strength of the vibrations. They're all comfortable and don't irritate anything. I've found that the lowest setting is enough to get the job done and that the strongest setting would only be for situations where you need some serious cleaning after a day of activities that would overly stain your teeth.This toothbrush is also claimed to whiten your teeth by 2 shades within 1 week of regular use. I think this claim is fairly accurate and I did notice some whitening.I think the only con to this toothbrush would be the noise level, but really what can you expect? It's electric and it's designed to do some work. As long as you keep your mouth closed while brushing you can't hear anything. Regardless, it's not disturbingly loud.In the end, I'm glad I spent the extra money on this toothbrush and I will never be switching back to a manual, except for some instances where I might be traveling and not want to take this with me.

Love this toothbrush , my Hygienist has noticed healthier gums using this product I would buy again
