To clear up the title of this review: This toothbrush is great and I would definitely recommend it. Although I am not sure I could justify its full RRP. This toothbrush tends to go on 'sale' sub £100 for which it is worth every penny.After using manual toothbrushes for my whole life I took the chance to try a 'proper' electric toothbrush in 2021. WOW. What a difference. Straight out the box I noticed a difference and was really impressed with the results.To add to this the toothbrush feels well made. The included transport case, charger base and replacement heads were all welcome additions.Initially I used the app every day which gave insights and tips to brushing all whilst tracking your brushing habits. The different modes and intensities really allow this brush to work for anyone.The biggest game changer was the built in timer function. Yes timers are a readily available thing but to have it built in to the brush itself really allows you to get on with brushing for the right amount of time everytime.Unfortunately after travelling one time the head of the unit seemed to become loose from the body of the brush. I can only think something impacted it somehow. Which meant the brush wouldn't work as it should. I immediately went to reorder and as mentioned above the price had risen dramatically. Thankfully a prime day was round the corner and lo and behold it went back on sale.I purchased the exact same model again and still use it twice a day everyday.

Over the years I have spent hundreds on electric toothbrushes, some were hot & miss, some were great, others were terrible. I’ve owned multiple Oral-B toothbrushes the most recent being an Oral-B X. In two year I had to use the warranty to have it replaced twice, reliability wasn’t great but when it worked I couldn’t fault it.I decided to buy a Phillips Sonicare to see how it measured up. Honestly, it is the best purchase I have made, my teeth feel cleaner, they look whiter and my whole mouth feels invigorated. The Oral-B X was good but this toothbrush is on another level.I just hope the reliability isn’t the same as Oral-B.. time will tell on that one.

I absolutely love my Philips Sonicare 7900 Series Electric Toothbrush! It’s a game-changer for my dental care routine. From the first use, I noticed how much cleaner and fresher my mouth felt compared to using a manual toothbrush.Sonic Technology: The sonic cleaning technology really works wonders. My teeth feel super smooth, and the brushing experience is incredibly thorough. The Advanced Whitening mode has definitely helped brighten my smile over time it’s a noticeable difference!Customization: I really appreciate the 4 brushing modes and 3 intensity levels, which allow me to adjust the toothbrush to my needs. Whether I want a gentle clean or a more intense one, this toothbrush delivers on all fronts.Pressure Sensor: The Pressure Sensor is a great feature that prevents me from brushing too hard, protecting my gums and teeth from damage. I love how it gently vibrates when I apply too much pressure.Smart App Integration: The integration with the app is brilliant! It tracks my brushing habits and gives real-time feedback to improve my technique. The app makes brushing more interactive and helps me stay consistent with my oral care.Travel-Friendly: The included charging travel case is so convenient, making it easy to take the toothbrush on the go. It’s compact, protective, and keeps the brush charged while traveling.Overall, the Philips Sonicare 7900 Series has completely elevated my brushing routine. If you’re looking for an electric toothbrush that’s effective, customizable, and packed with features, I highly recommend this one. It’s totally worth the investment!

These are really good brushes at cleaning, especially this one (I've had three of the more ordinary ones too). I'd give it five stars, but unfortunately they only last me two to three years before the joint at the top holding the brush breaks and then the brush head vibrates terribly and most likely isn't so effective. You just have to be extra careful taking the heads off and putting them back on. Do it as little as you can. Given the heads tell you when to change you can't avoid every so often (or when using the very handy travel case).I've just ordered a replacement with one that was on special offer. I'd probably change, but have six brush heads left (and they are not cheap).Overall they are pricey and a bit brittle, but very good teeth and gum cleaners.
