Electric Toothbrushes : Which model is the best Sonicare toothbrush?

How to pick out the best Sonicare toothbrush.
This page isn't about making a specific recommendation about which individual Sonicare toothbrush model makes the best choice. If it were we would have had to title this page something like "The best Sonicare toothbrush, FOR US" or the best Sonicare value, FOR US" because that's all our recommendation would be. It's not possible for any reviewer to know all of the different factors associated with someone else's brushing situation. Yet it is precisely these unique factors that will determine which Sonicare toothbrush is the best choice, or provides the better value, for them. What's needed is for us to detail for our site visitors what functions and options are available on the various Sonicare toothbrush models. And then once they understand the use (and need) of these features, the person can make an informed decision about which model seems to be the best fit for them. Towards this goal, on the following pages we describe those Sonicare electric toothbrush functions and options that are typically of the greatest interest to people. We then provide our interpretation about the need for that particular feature and our opinion regarding how well the Sonicare design seems to fit that need.

Picking out the best Sonicare toothbrush (value) means choosing the one that only has the features that you really need and will use.
We really think that the best Sonicare toothbrush is simply the least expensive model that offers the most basic Sonicare brushing action. Plus any other features that simply appeal to you or that you feel will make using the brush more convenient.
If you are price conscience at all, before buying a Sonicare you really owe it to yourself to read and learn about the various features that their different toothbrush lines offer. (We'll also throw in our two cents about the value of each of these features.) Doing so may end up saving you money.
We'll admit that we're biased towards less expensive Sonicare models.
As you read our comments about the various Sonicare toothbrush features that are available, you'll soon discover that we are admittedly biased towards liking the lower-end, less-expensive Sonicare models. We are so simply because we feel that they represent the better toothbrush value.
Our opinion is that electric toothbrushes are simply tools that can aid in accomplishing the task of performing thorough oral hygiene. We don't look at brushing teeth as a timed event but instead a process that needs to be taken to a point of completion, no matter how long or what it takes to accomplish it. In light this latter manner of thought, we'll simply state that we do like all of the Sonicare sonic toothbrushes we review on our pages because they are good teeth cleaning aids. It's just that we feel we could accomplish our brushing task with either a newer or older-generation Sonicare. It just might take a few moments longer with the older-style Sonicare.
Many people (possibly even most) may very well look at tooth brushing differently. They may not view it in terms of reaching a suitable end point but instead a task that they are only willing to dedicate so much time to and simply need to be able to accomplish as much tooth cleansing as is possible in that amount of time. For those people, one of the higher-end Sonicare models (FlexCare, HealthyWhite) may make better sense. Although we feel that both older and newer-design Sonicares can be used effectively, the design features of the newer lines are refined and evolved and do offer some (sometimes marginal) efficiency benefit. For us, however, it just comes to the point where a person must decide if this increased (and possibly small) benefit justifies the increased cost of the toothbrush.
