Philips Sonicare Easy Clean Sonic Electric Toothbrush, HX6511/50

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.

I purchased this toothbrush as a replacement to my HX6950 because the metal tip where the brush head connects became loose and fell off after being dropped. I never used any of the other options that the HX6950 offers such as Gum Care, Refresh, etc., so the one function on the HX6511/50 is good enough for me. This toothbrush uses the same type of brush heads, ProResults, which is good since I have replacement heads at the ready. One thing that I was not aware of when I first used this model was that it has an "Easy-start" feature which increases power over the first 14 uses to ease you into the Sonicare experience. Having already been used to the full power of the HX6950, I felt like the HX6511/50 was extremely weak at first, but I am noticing that it is increasingly getting stronger, so that is good. The only complaint I really have about it now is that it doesn't display how much charge it has, it only flashes a light when battery is getting low. One thing I do recommend is that you remove the brush head and rinse the connecting parts after each use. If you keep the brush head on, over time old toothpaste begins to build up and I noticed on my old HX6950 that mold had started to grow on the rubber that is attached to the metal tip. It was easily cleaned off with bleach and did not return as long as I let the area air out after each use. The Hx6511/50 has a slightly different design in this area which uses less of the rubber protector, so hopefully it won't be an issue, but I would still remove the brush head after cleaning anyway. Overall, if you are just looking for an electric toothbrush without the need for extra features such as Sensitive, Refresh, or Massage, this toothbrush works great. I have not used any other electric toothbrushes, but I have used a regular toothbrush when I was out of town and forgot my Sonicare, and I did not feel clean at all after brushing. The Sonicare really delivers a good cleaning and you can tell right away the difference between a standard toothbrush and the Philips Sonicare. I would continue to purchase the Sonicare products in the future if/when this toothbrush goes out on me.

This is my first time using Philips sonicare Toothbrush. Ordered with a bit hesitation. But once I used brush I immediately felt difference. My mouth was fresh all the time. Brush has 2 minutes cycle in which teeth divided in 4 quadrant. It stops automatically after 2 minutes. Battery life is excellent and once charged takes long time for charging again. Although product is pricy and original heads cost pricy but third party ones available. I suggest to definitely go for it.

...leider passt der Stecker nicht in die Steckdose. Ich meine das wirklich so, der Stecker sieht aus wie ein Stecker, der bei uns passen müsste, nur tut er das nicht. Die Stifte sind zu dick und der ganze Stecker zu schmal. Ich kenne das Land nicht, das solche Stecker hat. Hätte ich nicht schon vor 8 Jahren dieselbe Zahnbürste gekauft und war mir ihr sehr zufrieden, auch das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist super, kostet immer noch das gleiche, wie vor 8 Jahren dann könnte ich meine Zahnbürste jetzt nicht laden. Würd mich mal ein Spruch des Lieferanten hier interessieren. Aber ich denk, dass hier lesen eh viel zu wenige oder ich hatte einfach Pech und der Stecker ist eingegangen und gleichzeitig dicker geworden bei der letzten Wäsche. :-p

5th month review. Fully satisfied with cleaning, battery backup. Works fine 1st review Awesome product by Philips. Good and quick cleaning. Philips Sonicare HX6511/50 Easyclean is powerful enough for cleaning entire mouth in 4 minutes (two switch ON ie., 2 min for all teeth and 2 min for finishing the unfinished parts of teeth and tongue).

Frechheit! Bereits retournierte Ware nochmals verschickt. Stecker ist nicht für Deutschland geeignet(passt nicht in die Steckdose)
