Worth every penny!
 Cheap Plastic Buttons Fall Apart After 6 Months!!! December 2, 2008
Unlike the older Sonicare models, this one has a cheap rubber green button that disintegrates after 6 months of usage. Five months into my brushing, it started fraying, grew holes, and popped out. I tried using superglue to keep it attached, but it was hopeless - by six months it had broken off completely and couldn't be glued back. Without the green covering, I resorted to using a metal rod to poke at the button to get it to start. Then the brush started vibrating even after I had turned it off (apparently it will work only with the green button!) Unfortunately, I lost my receipt and couldn't prove it was still under warranty, so I was out over $100!! Now I see the same type of cheap rubber is being used for the Sonicare FlexCare model. Buyer beware!
 BRUSHHEAD FALLS OFF December 1, 2008
Was so wanting this brush.
The Flexcare looked so great,
all was fine during the slower break in time,
but as soon as it was over, and it began going faster,
Now each time I use it, while brushing the brushhead keeps falling off , over and over again.
I put it back on and continue to brush and it falls off again, I have not heard of others with this problem ?? But not fun. Thank you
Buy It! December 1, 2008
My first Sonicare was the IntelliClean model. I hated it. It was huge for one thing, like holding a tree limb. I could never find replacement heads or the toothpaste that was supposed to go in it either (not even at the Wal Mart I bought it at!) except online.
This however, is an exceptional toothbrush. I love it. Sorry Amazon but I bought it new on Ebay for $109 after shipping. It's very small and not near the hassle to keep clean like my other one was. I'm still experimenting with the different cleaning modes but I really like the variety offered, particularly the massage mode. I also love the fact that it came with one large brush head and an addititonal small one that I can reach the backs of my back teeth with. I really like the idea of the UV cleaner too. I hope it is working but it at least gives me some piece of mind that I won't be having a bunch of flu germs procreating on my toothbrush ; )
 Great design, but doesn't clean as well as Advance November 24, 2008
1 out of 2 found this comment useful.
I upgraded from an Advance 4000-series, for three reasons: battery was dying, gunk in head was awful, the base was getting calcified and difficult to clean even with CLR.
The FlexCare has so many positives. Everyone has listed them here, and I can't add anything new. The design is wonderful, the gunk is 95% reduced, the charger base is nice and small.
However, it doesn't clean as well as the Advance. The nice large brush area on the Advance just BLASTED my teeth clean. For four years my dentist was amazed at how clean my teeth were (and I barely flossed).
On the other hand, the Flexcare's much smaller (and spikier) head just doesn't clean as well. I have a quadrant in my mouth that the brush just won't clean, and as a result I have significant plaque buildup in that quadrant. I've tried different angles, sequences of brushing, different gels...
And the other quadrants collect food much faster than before. All my teeth remain smooth only until the next meal. With the Advance, they'd be smooth and shiny all day. I'm also flossing nightly now, because the brush doesn't get between teeth the way the Advance did. (I have also used Listerine twice a day sine 2002)
Overall, the brush just seems wimpy. I like the reduction in noise but I miss the invigorating blast of the Advance.
My dentist noticed immediately after only a few months of the new brush. All quadrants needed to be scraped, compared to zero with the Advance.
I wanted to hard to give a 5 star review, but the brush is simply not working. I've taken to scraping my own teeth every couple of weeks.
What am I doing wrong? I'm stuck with this expensive brush.
