Philips Sonicare ExpertClean 7500

This product took my oral health to the next level! Cleaner, whiter teeth & healthier gums are all but guaranteed with this toothbrush! Great purchase!

I’ve use Sonicare brushes for decades and have always loved them, but when I recently replaced my old deep pink brush with the new 4100 model, I was sorely disappointed in the motor strength. It was a huge downgrade from my old one that I’d paid a similar price for several years ago. Fast-forward a few days, and I got this 7500 model instead. I didn’t love paying almost quadruple the price tag of the other one, but I thought I’d give it a shot to see if all the newer Sonicare products had gone downhill or if it was just the other one. This toothbrush is SO much better than the 4100 model in every regard. The vibration motor is much stronger and more similar to the speed of my old one (with some added features!), and I appreciate how the pressure sensor works much better. The app is also a nice added bonus, and apparently, 2 minutes is the minimum amount of time you’re supposed to brush your teeth for optimal results? The included portable charging case is also much appreciated, and this model includes both a permanent wall charger for your toothbrush at home and a portable USB one (and the charging brick) for travel, which is definitely better. Overall, I feel like this brush really cleans my teeth well and lets me know when I press too hard on my gums very quickly. I didn’t love the fact that I had to spend so much more for this model to get this type of functionality, but I can definitely say it works nicely and that I’m a big fan. If you’re trying to choose between this model and the 4100, just go with this one, and I promise it will meet your expectations better.

Very happy with this product. I have had the 9300 series sonicare for years as my previous brush but prefer this one. The 9000 was a too aggressive and loud during use. This brush is right in the sweet spot for price, power, noise and quality. I would purchase again. I paid 130$ which was well worth it.

Purchased for my spouse who has been using the original Sonicare with the screw-on brush. So far, only one week, it is far better. It is not as loud and has more settings which seem beneficial due to the ability to change brushes, intensity and time settings. While I still prefer my Sonicare FlexCare+ with a nice massage feature that is not offered on newer models, this 7500 seems to be one of the best Sonicare brushes available given is features and price point. The app is useless to us. The availability of various brush types is really nice because everyone should be able to find a size and softness that suits them best. I personally use the s2 but spouse likes the a3. In comparison to my Oral B Geniuis, Sonicare toothbrushes sonic cleaning seems to clean better overall while the Oral B is a superior tooth polisher. Spouse is very pleased with the new brush, it is easier to clean this brush and charger. The original screw on brush head was always hard to clean, and thus harbored water and mold. I also tri.ed the new Sonicare Series 7400 and in my opinion, this 7500 is better. You can turn the setting on before the brush, sync to the app if you chose to use it easier, On sale, this is the winner.

Initial rating: 5* Current rating: 3* For $150, you'd expect a toothbrush to last more than a year. This broke 11 months in, but others have reported in breaking far sooner. I always travel with it in its case, and it has suffered no other accidents or abuse. When it's working, it really is a fantastic toothbrush, and left my mouth feeling very clean. But how can I properly endorse a product that falters after a year? I was willing to put money where my mouth is, and still I end up with shoddy workmanship. The impassioned responses you'll see on Amazon aren't hard to empathize with. After using and loving the toothbrush, it breaks on you, and you're suddenly forced to revert to some subpar alternative whilst the slow warranty process tries to sort it out. The "easy serve yourself" warranty option on the website doesn't even understand the model number, so that's not a great start. I've had bad experiences with Philips before, and I really didn't want to go for this at first. But I did, and I was so pleasantly surprised. And yet...here we are. Same old story from Philips. Disappointing, and once again my trust for this brand has been broken (much like the wobbly motor pin). UPDATE The Consumer Care Chat assistance wasn't as bad as I anticipated. They got right to the point and asked "Does the shaft feel secure? Yes/No.", and that is what's broken on mine. They're sending a replacement which should come within 5-10 business days (painful when you're used to Amazon speeds). I'll be using a manual brush till then. UPDATE - 09 Aug 2021 It broke again. This time it seems to be a firmware issue, causing the lights to continually cycle and thus run down the battery constantly. Factory reset did nothing, and it means I can't rely on it for travel. However...again...Philips are sending a replacement. 3 toothbrushes since mid-2019, and only had to purchase the first. Annoying that it breaks, but I'm ever-hopeful then next handle stays good.

I have been a Sonicare user for over 20 years, but after my last unit broke after only a couple of years, I thought I would try something else. I geeked out over model from another company that claimed 84K vibrations per minute vs. the Sonicare's 62K, but that model failed within two weeks. Then I saw another model which used a bristly mouthpiece instead of a traditional brush, but quite frankly my mouth felt cleaner with manual brushing. I should have known better when both units shipped from China. Now I am back to Sonicare. Why did I ever try to leave? I have received stellar grades from my dentist on cleanliness and gum health from using previous Sonicare models. The 7500 has the best cleaning performance of any I have used in the past. I also like that this model has a USB charging case, so I never have to worry about going back to "manual mode", although I do wish it was a USB-C connector instead of micro-USB.

Sonicare has gone downhill soooo much, they're the epitome of "ensh*ttification" or sacrificing quality to increase profit. TLDR: Doesn't work as well as they used to, too slippery to hold comfortably and cheap feeling now, added features that made it worse. These absolutely suck now. I have used a sonicare toothbrush for the better part of a decade, and my OG toothbrush was finally starting to sputter out so I figured it was time to replace it. I found this one for 50% off on prime day and was happy to give it a go. I got one for me & one for my husband whose sonicare toothbrushes only seem to last 2-3 years at most for some reason. His was immediately defective out of the box and buzzed so crazy loud even with no brush head attached, IDK how it made it past QC. (Is there any QC?) I went to go exchange it due to being defective and the only option given was to return it and buy another at now double the price! No, I don't think so. The one I got worked ok, but I noticed that instead of a soft rubber grip like my old one, these ones are just smooth plastic. It took me a minute to get used to that & I actually found it hard to hold onto with the weight + vibration+ how slippery the surface was. It seems like a cost cutting measure they did to increase profit. Also, I keep the little cap on the brush when I'm not using it for sanitary reasons, and the newer brush heads have the flimsiest most useless covers that really only work if the brush is horizontal. I salvaged one of my old covers even though it doesn't fit very well on the newer brush heads. The pressure sensor seems way too sensitive to be useful, I have to barely glide the brush over my teeth or it is activated. The pressure of going between my cheek and molars without pushing down at all is enough to activate it. I've started just ignoring it, but it doesn't vibrate as much with the sensor activated so IDK if I'm getting as good of a clean. I wish there was a way to deactivate it. The nail in the coffin for me with sonicare is the brush head replacement notification. If you don't replace your brush head at the interval they suggest (my brush was still immaculate when it started beeping since you can't use any pressure to brush anyway) it will beep and flash every time you use your brush until you replace it and drain the already meh (compared to my old one) battery life even faster. You can't take the head off and put it back on either to reset it because there's a chip or something inside. It is so annoying! I have no idea what it would do with an aftermarket brush head, prob beep and flash immediately. I will not be buying any sonicare toothbrushes in the future, which is a shame because they used to be a good product & for me were more comfortable to use than the Oral B kind because of the lower profile brush heads.

Works well, no problems - owned for a while now
