Amazon.com Item Description:
From the makers of the number one recommended power toothbrush brand by dental professionals, Philips Sonicare introduces FlexCare, the most advanced power toothbrush ever. Featuring a new innovative technology, FlexCare removes more plaque than Oral B's Triumph and even Sonicare Elite. The integrated ultraviolet (UV) Sanitizer removes up to 99 percent of bacteria* on your toothbrush.

The most advanced power toothbrush ever. View larger.

Built for your individual oral care needs, FlexCare offers three different cleaning modes and two routines to enhance your brushing experience.

Three modes include:
Clean - for maximum cleaning efficacy
Sensitive - for those with sensitive teeth and gums
Massage - to stimulate gums with a invigorating and pulsing motion


Routines include:
MaxCare - which delivers a 3-minute, thorough, full-mouth clean
GoCare - for a quick 1-minute clean between regular brushings


The new ProResults brush head works in a broad sweeping motion with contour fit bristles to help increase tooth coverage. This, combined with Sonicare's patented sonic technology, creates a high speed bristle motion that allows a powerful but gentle dynamic cleaning action, ensuring a deep clean between teeth and along the gum line. Additional features include a 30 percent smaller and lighter design and an 80 percent reduction in vibration (compared to Sonicare Elite).

The specially engineered UV sanitizer helps to eliminate bacteria commonly found on your toothbrush. Simply place the brush head in the FlexCare sanitizing unit, and with a single push of a button, your brush will be sanitized. The UV Sanitizer utilizes similar ultraviolet technology used in hospitals to clean and store your toothbrush so you know it is always ready for the next use.

2-year Warranty
The FlexCare comes with a 2-year warranty, but remember to replace your brush head at least every three months for optimal results.

Customer Rating: - Mrs B
I have used a Sonic Care Toothbrush for about 8 years. When I upgraded to the flexcare I found the new features to be great. I can customize the tooth brush every time I brush....dental and gum care are so very important. A great buy to encourage thorough brushing.

Philips Sonicare Elite e9500 Custom Care Power Toothbrush this is quite an improvement from the last one that I have used for several years. My teeth feel very clean almost like a dentist has cleaned them. would not do without. Rate a strong 5.

Customer Rating: - What was I waiting for?
My dentist's hygenist recommended this toothbrush to me at the end of last year. It took me until June to buy it and then until just a couple of weeks ago to actually start using it. Well, it's fantastic and I can't write enough superlatives about it. Just don't wait as long as I did to buy it and use it!

Customer Rating: - Planned Obsolescence
Here are two things Phillips will not tell you about their Sonicare toothbrushes and heads.

1) The collar that holds the toothbrush to the handle will disintegrate in a couple of months. That's what prompted this review, because they would not replace mine after it fell apart two weeks after purchasing a replacement.

They manufacturer these things to disintegrate so you will continue to buy replacements - planned obsolescence. However, I suspect their China supplier is skimping on the plastic specifications and they fall apart in weeks instead of months. (Do you think China would really do that?)

2) UNPLUG your base until you need to charge the toothbrush. If you charge it up overnight, then unplug the base, the toothbrush will work for four brushings per day for about a month. Then, when it signals or stops, plug the base in to charge it.

This method will allow your toothbrush to work for five years or longer. If you keep the base plugged in all the time, these NiCad batteries develop memory and will stop functioning after 18 to 24 months.

A bonus, if you travel a lot as I do, you don't have to pack the charger. Just make sure it's topped off and you're good for a month's vacation.
