⚠ Since original publication, the charging stand & magnetic wall mount have changed slightly. They have been made into 2 separate items. The charging stand now has a USB cable hardwired into it rather than being detachable. Both do the same thing, just a different design. There is now a version without the travel case. Retail prices have dropped too.
I'm a qualified industrial designer, and I pride myself on being able to repair most anything. I once opened up a Braun toothbrush to try and replace the battery. It was almost impossible. I strongly suspect that they are deliberately designed to fail irreparably. I see no reason why such a simple device should be more fiddly to reassemble than a smartphone.
Interesting. Not the first person to mention this. Some instruction manuals from some brands specifically state that they are not designed to be repaired. 🤔
But can it beat my Dr Dent premium sonic toothbrush,USB-C travel case not required, only a normal travel case? Why? Because a single charge lasts 8 months!🤣 and the best bit? It only costs £25 not £90 and comes with 5 operating modes instead of just 2: white,clean,sensitive,polish and massage!
I just got one from a dental show and I love it ! I work as hygienist the downside is doesn’t have sensor pressure and diff heads like ortho care or sensitive teeth like oral B and timer.. but I like the cleaning 💝 and environmental friendly
Another update as from what i can see nobody checked what's happening for nearly a year. It comes in 4 colours now. Prices are: 75£ for basic option 95£ for option with UV case. Warranty is 1 year when you just buy it, but they added subscription plan for 2 brush heads shipped to your door every 6 months for 9,60£ + 1,99£ shipping. You also get lifetime warranty with this subscription.
My Chinese made Oclean flow sonic toothbrush costs only £25,has 180 days of battery life from a single charge, has 5 different brushing modes and lastly has the universal USB-C charging port so no toothbrush specific charger or cord needed!😂
@@eyeofthetiger6002 good for you then, but if you didn't notice it's not "Comparison video", but it's specifically about Suri toothbrush so I completely don't understand where your comment is coming from 🤣
6 months in, broke, was replaced. It’s only really good for travel and cosmetic brushing. It doesn’t do a deep job, if you don’t want gingivitis use a Braun.
@@Kevin4M3 i did! I’ve really loved it. It’s compact, the battery lasts a long time and had comparable settings and speeds to my prior electric toothbrush. It’s been solid. I do wish they had a more compact case. That is something I’d love.
@@longlivehw I want like soft atm, the one I use from he grooming has medium and the dentist i follow says soft is better, how many replacements heads does it come with
The battery of my Philips Sonicare seems to be near the end of its life. Upon finding out that replacing it is a hassle, I started looking into this. But even with this one, it's recommended to send it back for battery replacement. It's a bit silly. I can replace the battery in my dive computer, that I take down to a pressure of 4 times normal. But the water sealing of these toothbrushes somehow means that users can't replace the battery.
Fair point. It is something we have thought, but upon discussion with the manufacturer we were given the impression that this is designed this way to prevent issue and liability and ensure the replacement is completed correctly.
Yeah, at least it's replaceable. But it really should be user-replaceable. You can get waterproof torches with interchangeable batteries. So I see no reason a toothbrush should be any more complex.
Mines stopped working after a year, asked for a new one but they wouldn't do it unless I showed receipt, as if any normal person keeps those forever. Now I use a better toothbrush and they lost a repeat income stream from me forever.
Thanks for the feedback. I guess you are referring to all the cardboard boxes inside, one for the head, one for the cable etc? At least it is recyclable. 🤷♂️
It's not "woke" to care about environmental impact. But I guess anything that challenges your ignorant and exploitative attitude is easier to dismiss if you just label it all "woke". :) Typical reactionary.
@@marcomarin1196 I mean the way that azzhat is using the term, I’m pretty sure it could be traded with “snowflake”. They’re just so brainless that they think caring about anything other than oneself is a bad thing.

Sad, the proprietary chargers/cables are what contribute to this “environmental impact” as well.

This is, IMO, probably the best travel electric toothbrush. The compact USB-C travel case is top notch, especially at this price point.

I bought this toothbrush when it's 40% off and absolutely love it. We ended up getting a second one for my husband
how did you get 40% off?
Yes do share where you got it 40% off!
Glad you did this review. I’ve been waiting for someone to give it a go. This will be my next toothbrush thanks to the review.
Hey did you buy the toothbrush?if so what are your thoughts on it so far?
@@Kevin4M3 i did! I’ve really loved it. It’s compact, the battery lasts a long time and had comparable settings and speeds to my prior electric toothbrush. It’s been solid. I do wish they had a more compact case. That is something I’d love.
@@longlivehw do they have soft or medium bristles, and do you have any other dislikes so far?
@@Kevin4M3 I don't know how to tell if the bristles are medium or soft. I would guess medium in this case.
@@longlivehw I want like soft atm, the one I use from he grooming has medium and the dentist i follow says soft is better, how many replacements heads does it come with
Really like this brush, but the button is very easy to press accidentally while holding it, turning it to a different mode or off completely.

@@ElectricTeeth Yeah but, if it’s out of warranty, the risk is mine, right? I own the thing after all.

Nice review 👌
thank you for this review
I regret getting the Philips One toothbrush because the weak vibration is worthless!
its on offer for £84 with the travel case
Really enjoyed your video, but I'm just wondering if you could do a video about the Oclean Flow.
Hi Amy. It is a product we would like to review at some point, but I can't say if and when this will be at this time.
Glad I watched this. I didn't read the instructions and have been using both modes daily. I don't think it's hurting anything but now I know.
best toothbrush ever!!! i went through TWO 4100s from philips they were junk!
What was junk about them Tommy?
@@ElectricTeeth kept dying in different ways within the warranty they dont last!
Ok. Did you contact Sonicare to get them fixed/replaced? Just trying to gauge why people switch etc.
@@ElectricTeeth yes. the second time i didnt bother because i didnt want to go through that again
I do not like soni toothbrushes..my teeth jut do not feel clean compared to using a oral b electric toothbrush
Do you know if the battery is Ni-mh or Lithium ion ?
Lithium-Ion
I love my Siri.
Love the brush, but I highly doubt the LED is a UV-C light. I think that's just a gimmick.
Mines stopped working after a year, asked for a new one but they wouldn't do it unless I showed receipt, as if any normal person keeps those forever.
Now I use a better toothbrush and they lost a repeat income stream from me forever.
I am sorry to hear this, but it is quite common to ask for proof of purchase to confirm you bought it etc.
What have you switched to?
Got one but tremendous amount of packaging/ boxes. Unnecessary in my opinion. I don't need an unboxing experience.
Thanks for the feedback. I guess you are referring to all the cardboard boxes inside, one for the head, one for the cable etc?
At least it is recyclable. 🤷♂️
@@ElectricTeeth being recyclable is a red herring. It first needs to be manufactured!
Patronising woke marketing.

What about this is woke 😅

If you mean environmentally aware, then yes.
I do not understand this comment at all. What part is woke?
