PHILIPS Easy Clean Sonic Electric Toothbrush HX6511/50

This is my first ever electric toothbrush…so the choice initially was between this one or the Oral B rotary type.
Speaking to my dentist recently; she said both types are good and will both clean your teeth better than conventional brushing.
So, going back to my purchase….I chose the Philips Sonicare EasyClean as the price seemed reasonable, there aren’t any gimmicks with this one and other reviews were positive.
And so is my review….this is a great electric toothbrush that really does make your teeth feel so much cleaner than conventional brushing.
Like other reviews, it takes a bit of time to get used to the sensation of the sonic brush…very tickly! but I soon found that my teeth were feeling that much cleaner.
It operates in 30 second bursts over 2 minutes with a split second interval in between, this is to give all your teeth…upper, lower, front, back the full attention and cleaning that is recommended.
It stops automatically after 2 mins as this is the recommended minimum time for cleaning your teeth…but I sometimes start it again as I would like a bit longer!
I think there are people who prefer the other; rotary type of toothbrush….but for my review of the Philips Sonicare EasyClean I can honestly say that in the few weeks I have owned this I find that my teeth are feeling really good, the battery life in between charges is a couple of weeks (and that’s with 2 of us using it) and the noise level of it isn’t too bad….like I say, I can’t compare it to the rotary type and some people say the Sonicares are noisy…but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Great value, great quality and a great clean!

No hay mejor forma de limpiar los dientes y encías, sin lugar a dudas.
Supongo que he tenido la progresión normal de cualquier consumidor…. cepillo normal, cepillo rotativo tipo oral b y ahora este cepillo sónico. Wow, la diferencia se nota!

Además veo otras grandes ventajas, como el cepillo como tal es bien chiquitito (algo que no esperaba) gastas mucho menos pasta de dientes (ahorro). Me gusta que por medio de beeps te avise cuándo cambiar de lugar (ver el manual).

De verdad siento que Phillips debería anunciarlo mas; yo me enteré por una amiga dentista y de verdad pensé “es una pena” que más gente no se entere de las ventajas de la limpieza sónica. El mismo principio que la Clarasonic para la cara.
No lo duden, es caro pero vale mucho la pena por la salud de tus dientes. A la larga vez el valor por tu dinero.

Stay charged for an extended period of time, thoroughly cleans your teeth

About a year ago my parents sent me an electric toothbrush (<$20) because they were impressed with new ones that had recently tried. I was favorably impressed with the cleaning, but found that replacing the batteries always resulted in the waterproof seal being damaged and the batteries would flood. I went through about 4 of them, with at least a couple different types, and the story was always the same. Occasionally the heads would work their way apart too, even though they were within their regular use period.

You have 2 types to choose from if you step up in quality: Oral-B (with the round spinning heads) and Philips (with the more traditional up and down stroke head). My personal preference is the Philips type of head. After much research, I found that the older Philips models, with the much bigger base to the replaceable brush end, were getting reports of significant material (toothpaste, saliva, etc.) remaining under the bigger base. For this reason I chose the least expensive of the smaller head toothbrushes, the Easy Clean, which had reviews as high as their most expensive models.

Cleaning under the head is very easy, as I imagine it would be under the larger heads, but there is simply very little there to clean. The brush heads do a great job, and i have no doubt my teeth have never been cleaner. The design allows me to reach anywhere in my mouth, and after a little getting used to it, I am fine with the ‘quadrant’ system it uses. This way, you brush upper or bottom, left or right teeth for 30 seconds, then the toothbrush gives a slight beep, encouraging you to move to the next quadrant. In 2 minutes, you are done and it shuts off. This forces you to focus on exactly where you are brushing, to make sure you don’t ‘run out of time’. I used to brush longer, but now with the stroke speed and the strict timing, my teeth are much cleaner in a guaranteed 2 minutes. Of course you could turn the brush on again, but if you pay attention, there is no need to to do this.

Since stroke speed is very fast, there apparently is an initial 14 day break in period, whereby the brush moves slower to start, but increases in speed over each of those uses. This can be reset if ever needed. I didn’t really notice this change over time, but I guess that is part of the intent.

The charging base is miniscule, with a simple structure, but very effective and requires virtually no effort to insert the toothbrush.

The toothbrush itself is not cheap, but is well priced through Amazon. The individual heads are quite pricey $8-$10 each, but can be bought in packs of 2-4 to save a little bit. If this cost were to drop somewhat, I’m sure the number of users would increase dramatically.

Great product that exceeded my expectations! I wish I had bought one years earlier, and probably would have if the cost wasn’t such an issue.
