Philips Sonicare 5500 Electric Toothbrush, Sonic Toothbrush with 2 Modes, Pressure Alert, EasyStart, SmarTimer and BrushPacer, Navy, Model HX7113/01 [New Technology]

Sonic toothbrushes are the future. So very much better than regular electric brushes. The charge lasts much longer and it re charges much quicker. It brushes so well, and doesn’t fell like a road drill in your head. Brilliant, wish I had known about these from the start.

It’s one of the best toothbrushes I’ve ever used. It’s incredibly easy to operate with just two simple settings , clean and white. It makes daily brushing effortless and effective. The charging is excellent, lasting a long time without frequent recharging. I’m truly pleased with the results and can already see a noticeable improvement in the colour of my teeth.after every brush my mouth feels clean and refreshed. I’m very happy with the purchase and would highly recommend it

I had a Chinese copy, but it stopped working despite a full charge; obviously the transducer or something related wore out; the vibration frequency is also a lot faster with this brush, so it can clean a lot faster. I suggest that Oral-B's oscillating brush models are probably obsolete now, especially the models for a comparable or higher price. The charger base is USB-A powered, but no mains USB adapter was supplied, which may inconvenience some people. I dropped a star, because It seems rather cheap to only supply one brush with this model, despite more being supplied with a cheaper model. Update 2024-08-08: I discovered that the single supplied W3 head was specialised for Whitening/polishing, so getting more useful head(s) is compulsory for me. It is not possible to buy a mixed intro set, so I've had to hunt for the least expensive double packs, so that I can identify which are actually useful to me; I learned the bitter lesson with Oral-B, not to buy more, because I'd end up with some excess I'll never use!

This is a very good toothbrush, a noticeable step up from my previous electric toothbrush, to the point that my dental hygienist now thinks he doesn't have to see me again for the next year or so. Minor downsides: it's a bit too easy to accidentally hit the power button. And integrating a chip in the toothbrush head to keep track of how long it has been used seems like a bit of overkill. Fortunately third party brush heads without that feature (plus a calendar reminder when to replace them) work just as well.

This sonic toothbrush is my favourite. I have the rotary electric one too but wasn’t happy with its cleaning power so I thought I’d try this one. It took me a fair few goes before I got used to it and now the rotary one is retired. This one cleans so well and it’s also easy to use. The battery lasts for ages. Mines been going for a good few weeks and is on one light now so I’ll charge it soon.

My toothbrush does not have a consistent number of pauses, sometimes there are eight, sometimes six and on one occasion four. What am I doing wrong and can I do something to regulate the number of pauses.

Excellent . Has a cheaper once and I was really impressed. Teeth so much whiter and feel better that a dentist's clean . (and far cheaper). This however is even better. Teeth feel even cleaner .. Durability seems to be an issue with other users , so will wait and see .

I recently picked up the Philips Sonicare 5500 Electric Toothbrush, and it has truly changed my daily routine. As someone who has always been a bit lazy about brushing my teeth, I was looking for something that would make the process feel more rewarding. This toothbrush delivers on that front! The sonic technology really makes a difference; my teeth feel cleaner and smoother after each use. I also appreciate the pressure sensor that alerts me if I'm brushing too hard, which is a thoughtful feature that encourages better oral care habits. One of my favorite things is how easy it is to use. With just one intensity level, I don’t have to fuss over settings or modes—just pick it up and brush. The battery life is impressive too; I can go several weeks without needing to recharge, which is perfect for my busy lifestyle. However, I do wish there were more intensity options for those days when I want a little extra cleaning power. Despite that minor limitation, the overall experience has been fantastic. In summary, if you're looking for an electric toothbrush that is effective and user-friendly, I highly recommend the Philips Sonicare 5500. It has made my oral hygiene routine much more enjoyable, and I genuinely feel that I’m taking better care of my teeth now.

Después de usarlos un tiempo, sigo muy contento con el funcionamiento. Avisa cuando tienes que cargar el cepillo, cuando tienes que cambiar el cabezal y los modos de limpieza se adaptan perfectamente a mis necesidades. El que tengan una funda de transporte es un extra que viene muy bien para llevar el cepillo y que el cabezal no se estropee en caso de que se le caiga el protector. La batería sigue durando tanto como cuando los compré.

cadeaux offert à mon fils. il en est content

Excellent product, would highly recommend. As good as a dentist clean

J'utilise le Sonicare 4500 depuis 2 ans, et c'est une vraie révolution. Comme beaucoup de personnes après 40 ans, j'avais des problèmes de gencives et de dents. Cette technologie n'est PAS un gadget — elle vous permet un brossage véritablement optimal. Au bout de 7 jours, vous aurez l'impression de revenir d'un détartrage chez le dentiste... et ce sera le cas tous les jours désormais. Si on y réfléchit deux secondes : une brosse à dents qui vous évite ne serait-ce qu'un seul aller-retour chez le dentiste, c'est déjà rentabilisée. Concernant la 5500, que j'ai depuis 2 jours : c'est une belle évolution, environ 20% plus efficace que la 4500 selon moi. Elle est nettement plus douce — à tel point que le premier jour, je pensais qu'elle était défectueuse. Mais c'est précisément ce changement qui fait la différence : je n'appuie plus sur mes dents, et je sens pourtant que ça détartre encore mieux. Et sans la moindre sensation d'irritation sur les gencives. C'est le vrai côté "sonic" : magique. Ça reproduit vraiment la sensation d'un détartrage professionnel.

I’m an ex-Oral B electric toothbrush user and I have to say this Philips product blows its competition away. First the brush head is bigger than Oral B’s so it covers more area, and it has two modes; Clean and White so you can alternate btw the two. It auto stop at the two min mark which previously Oral B’s continue to spin if you ignore the alarm. The brush head and the body fits nicer and seems to be of better make. Overall super happy with the purchase and it comes with a travel box for use on your trips.
