Packing:
The packaging is well done and visually by embossing the sonic toothbrush on the packaging very appealing.
Charging station:
The charging station can accommodate the Sonicare and two brushes that are included. The disadvantage I find in any event that there is no wall mount for the cradle inclusive hygienic storage for at least two brush heads. Thus, the charging station including power cord is always around in the sink or other cabinets.
Hardshell travel case:
Included is also a white practical case to the sonic toothbrush along with two brush attachments travel you to pack.
My first time:
My test Sonicare HealthyWhite worth 119.99 has three cleaning programs: Clean - for powerful cleaning,
Sensitive - more gentle brushing,
Clear and Whithe - for brighter teeth.
The first cleaning test was quite used to. Although I have already used another electric toothbrush, but that has round brush, the oscillations in the sonic toothbrush were pretty intense and very unpleasant. Especially if you come with the plastic part of the elongate shaped brush the teeth. A cleaning with a slightly open mouth is not possible, because the toothpaste is distributed to the mirror by the vibrations. Daily cleaning of the mirror was initially necessary.
After a while you exercise but has become accustomed to these specially shaped brush heads and vibrations. Nevertheless, I have with the large brush attachment my problems because the cleaning, especially in the front incisors (above inside) was not satisfactory and slightly uncomfortable. Therefore, I then decided to go for the smaller brush attachment. My friend, however, got along quite well.
Clean & White function:
This function should rise in just two weeks after information by Philips to two degrees whiter teeth. To really confirm this clearly and to be able to test, I have no prior appropriate test strip to the color level of the teeth and reconcile after the trial period of two weeks. I think that would be laid off if you believe and has not particularly thoroughly cleaned their teeth before using a sonic toothbrush, as a result possible. But how much toothpaste manufacturers promise similar results. Aside from whitening far no product a clearly visible result I know that achieved. But is certainly not the decisive function to a sonic toothbrush to buy, because the cleaning result is otherwise absolutely satisfactory and I the Clean & White function neither measurable nor disprove can not confirm.
Smartimer & Quadpacer:
The Quadpacer feature I personally unimportant and rather disturbing. It provides a 30-second interval during grooming. That means every 30 s is the sonic toothbrush by a signal (vibration is short of) the information that you now the plaster area (above inside, above outside, below inside, down the outside) should change. The Smartimer function switches the sonic toothbrush after recommended brushing time of two minutes on their own. If you want to brush longer have to re-turn by selecting the appropriate program it again. I hold the brushing time for too low and too annoying that the brush goes out immediately. Better would be a signal for about 3 minutes. and after that I can turn off the brush itself as desired. When cancel air, ie before the 2 min. to have, no pressure sufficient to date on the button. Then you have only complicated the farther cleaning programs zapping around the brush to silence. Better would be the possibility of a prolonged pressure of about 2-3 seconds on the button and the brush would be from.
Conclusion:
On the whole, I am very satisfied with the Sonicare HealtyWhite, although I would hope the above suggestions.
My girlfriend is probably a bigger fan of this sonic toothbrush than I do. Am, however, always very critical and trying through my reviews to improve products. The outstanding plaque removal, I can not disagree, and for those who do not need the Clean & White function there is also still the Philips Sonicare FlexCare with UV Sanitizer and massage function. Negative I find, however, always the cost of the brush attachments. I think so deserves every manufacturer of electric toothbrushes, the actual money. At Philips, 1 brush head costs 9.99 and 3 brush heads 24,99, which are available in two different sizes Standard and Mini. Next brush shapes and colored rings with strong easily distinguishable colors would be desirable. In my pack only in rings were gray, light blue and dark blue. Are therefore easily confused. Red, blue or yellow are clear.
