PHILIPS Sonicare Protective Clean 6500 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Charging Travel Case and Extra Brush Head, Deep Purple, 2 Count

Latest and greatest but still a toothbrush
Alright, I admit, this one is better than my previous three electric tooth brushes. I definitely do feel like it simply scrapes more gunk off my teeth than the previous ones. I think that trumps anything else I can say about it. I think it makes this a 5 star product. But saying that, it’s hard to be terribly excited about it. It’s the latest and greatest, not a miracle.I did get this particular toothbrush off the recommendation of my dentist because the battery powered Oral-B electric tooth brush I was using previously wasn’t doing enough for my oral health. And I feel like it has lived up to the requirements there. It does seem to be giving me back what I put into it.Battery life seems excellent.With all those positives, I have to say, it’s still an electric toothbrush. I like that it is colored black instead of an ugly tooth enamel white but it is still the same basic shape as my previous rechargeables. It’s definitely better, even the best, but it’s still the same general product. It’s hard to feel like it is an epic upgrade instead of just the latest model. It’s still the same car, not a ferari. So, adjust your expectations accordingly.I definitely do like the travel case when I’m traveling. But it’s sized for this brush so it’s kind of big. It’s slightly larger than any of my glasses cases. So it’s a somewhat annoying space waster when I’m not traveling. I also am not particular sure why it is shaped the way it is. It is meant to carry the body separate from the head and has two spaces for two different heads but so far as I’m able to tell, there’s no particular way to distinguish one brush head from the other.Which leaves the negatives to talk about.So far I’ve been obeying the instructions on how to clean it but the cleaning instructions are finicky and more work than I want to do. All of my prior electric toothbrushes had the toothbrush head snap on tight so nothing would get into the gap. The gap between head and body of this tooth brush is substantial for a product made in the last few years. There is plenty of room for things to leak inside. Additionally, the instructions for care specifically say to watch out for that and clean it in a way to compensate. That seems like bad design to me. I am not happy about that. I also recall two toothbrushes ago, which was a completely comparable product, coming with a little colored ring that would help cover the gap and allow you to mark which head was yours so two people could hygienically share one toothbrush body. So this seems like a step back in that regard. Especially since it makes a point of saying you should take it apart to clean the pieces separately each time anyway. I am having trouble imagining myself keeping up the recommended cleaning regimen over the long term. At which point, I don’t know how well it will keep exceeding my previous brushes.The two buttons for controlling the functions of the tooth brush are not easy to tell apart and are not particularly intuitive. I’m mostly just hitting a button and deciding that will do. That speaks to the power of the brush, which is great. Whatever it does by default is better than what I was doing on purpose before hand but it also means I don’t have any particular idea how to get the most out of the toothbrush since it is supposed to be doing more than what I am doing in terms of adjusting the functionality for different dental health tasks. It’ll do but I’m pretty sure it is keeping me from being blown away by it.Finally, my biggest gripe is how the timer works. The toothbrush is set for two minutes. At the end of two minutes it simply stops. It doesn’t do some kind of extra buzz or other alert. It just shuts off. Dead. The first few times I thought I had pressed one of the buttons by accident since it is very easy to do with the placement of them. But no, that’s how it is programmed to work. It’s a tiny motion to turn it back on. Like I said, those buttons are easy to press. But it feels obnoxious in the same way as having to interact with AI everywhere. I don’t want the machine to do that work o deciding when to shut off, that’s my job.In the end, I would say, if you’re going to be buying a new electric tooth brush anyway, buy this one. But I don’t particularly think everyone should rush to replace what they’ve got with this game changer. 5 stars good, not your life will fundamentally change amazing.

Failed in 2 months.
I purchased in April2025. 6 months later and the brush has stopped working. My previous Sonicare lasted for more than 5 years and I only got rid of it because some of the pieces were starting to look old. This is a big disappointment. I contacted customer care and the faulty handle was replaced relatively quick and easily. I’m impressed, will update if the replacement fails.

A dependable toothbrush our family trusts
I’ve purchased several of these over many years, and they’ve all been consistently solid in everyday use. Since switching to this style of toothbrush, my teeth feel cleaner overall, and my dental checkups have gone more smoothly compared to when I used cheaper electric options. This one was bought for my daughter, and the quality feels just as good as the previous ones I’ve owned. It holds up well with regular use and doesn’t feel like something I’ll need to replace anytime soon. The replacement brush heads are definitely pricey, but the brush itself still feels worth the cost, especially compared to what routine dental work can run..What you may care about:• Cleaning effectiveness compared to cheaper electric brushes (Meets)• Long-term reliability with repeat purchases (Meets)• Build quality and feel (Meets)• Cost of replacement brush heads (Does Not Meet)• Overall value versus dental expenses (Meets)

Navy blue sonic tooth brush
This is holding up well, the head of the brush is a smaller head so it fits in my mouth easier. Went to dentist today and they said my teeth are cleaner than last time. I brush twice a day and love how easy this is to use. Love the navy blue color and brushing ability. The weight of the brush is perfect for me and I feel the value for the money this is with it so far. This replaced my oral b iq and I will say my gums don’t bleed anymore while brushing and noticed a difference using this. Comes with a nice charging case as well. Have not got to use that yet but excited to in the future.

Recommended by our family dentist and hygienist. This has been a game changer with oral health. Best toothbrush ever owned, and does a truly effective job of cleaning teeth and guns properly.

Perfect e-brush, high quality and one charge less longer than expected👍🏻,also it helped me a lot to take care more of my teeth health.
