Unable to evaluate because I bought the wrong sonicare brush head.
The sonicare company does not make the package easy to open. I ended up ripping the plastic cover and to my chagrin, it was the wrong brush head for my electric toothbrush. I needed the sonicare intellicare brush head. Needless to say, since I ruined the hard plastic cover, I figured it would be inappropriate to try and exchange it. Be sure you know your sonicare toothbrush series or name before ordering. I thought I knew mine. . . . . I was dead wrong. My fault. If I would have kept the box that the electric toothbrush came in, I would not have made this $27. 00 error.
The intellicare toothbrush
Beware of Sonicare’s Buy 2 Get 1 Free Brush Head Offer. I bought 2 Sonicare brush heads and sent the original UPC symbol to Sonicare. They sent me a postcard stating that it did not receive the original UPC symbol or proof-of-purchase tab. Although the Sonicare brush is okay, I definitely would not buy another Sonicare product again based on the company’s incorrect handling of its promotion offer!
I was very disappointed in that I could not find the correct item number that I wanted (regular sonic replacement head) and therefore they sent me the compact – I don’t know what item that number was because I couldn’t find any item numbers. I therefore returned the product which I got refunded but it did not include the shipping. I am upset theat I didn’t get credit for the shipping and I had to pay shipping to return the item.
Its been over a month and I still have not received the product even though I have written Amazon customer service and the UPS tracking says it was delivered! I can’t get anyone from Amazon to help!!!
Dear Amazonians,
The brush-head that came with my toothbrush is starting to get frazzled, and it’s time to start looking for new heads. (My father always said he wanted to see me get a head. . . )
I’m completely unhappy about having to spend $10 per head. I don’t believe I’ll be getting what I pay for, because:
· The heads are small. I’ve never chosen a “compact head,” but that’s all that’s available for the Sonicare.
· The bristles are a combination of soft, extra-soft, and uselessly-soft bristles. I assume that extra-soft bristles have a shorter lifetime than normally-soft bristles, which aggravates the megaprice problem. Maybe the first couple of days using the Sonicare delivers an overwhelming experience (not really) that’s best overcome with extra-soft bristles, but at this point, I would be happy to have a head full of normally-soft bristles. Unfortunately, dissatisfyingly extra-soft bristles are all that’s available for the Sonicare.
· The fat bottom of the head disallows putting the Sonicare far enough into my mouth to brush the back of my tongue, so I wind up having to keep a real toothbrush around, anyway. Even if I could fit the head back there, it would be too small for the job, due to my big tongue. Pardon my tangent.
Because the Sonicare is so effective, neither the head’s softness nor smallness is much of a drawback. By leaving the scrubbing motions to the device, I’m able to spend more attention to aiming accurately and evenly, to avoid overscrubbing, to avoid falling asleep from boredom, and it does a better job than I could. If I could do it all over, I would choose the Sonicare again over the old method, but I’m still sickened by the single-option of expensive, minimum-value and minimum-lifetime heads.
(The real sticker-shock will happen when I have to throw away the Sonicare because the integrated Ni-Cad batteries cannot be replaced, but only mutilatingly removed for recycling. )
I give the heads 2-out-of-5 Amazonian stars because although they work, they take undue advantage of the customer.
Best luck,
-Neil-
