Modes are just glitter. Sonicare is a sonicare, it vibrates a brush.
The Sonicare Essence is $19.95 on sale from $50 at Amazon. Ask a dentist. Actually my dentist told me an Oral-B was better, cheaper brushes replacement too.
@craigcush Dentists are paid-off by one company or the other. I think both are good products. Pick the one that feels best for you. Ignore the F-U-D. (as in, “I think I got some fear, uncertainty, and doubt stuck in my teeth”)
My current brush is the Braun/Oral-B, but I have some serious respect for the higher end of the Philips line as well. If I had the extra cash, I would definitely be in on this so that the wife and I could each run a separate brush, rather than just separate brush attachments… But even for such a reasonably priced deal, I am sad to pass this one up.
Solid recommendation to those who are interested though. With a dentist, an oral surgeon, and a couple hygienists in the family, we try to keep up with what works alright versus the cash-grab wannabes, and these are the real deal. Great model, and I’m just upset that the timing isn’t going to allow me to buy in this time.
$90 for a toothbrush (x2)??? Ummmm… I have dental issues, my custom mouthguard cost less than this. And my dentist says that I should use a soft/manual brush, anyway. Good grief, Meh, you are sinking below the waterline. Gumline. Whatever. This is becoming ridiculous.
I try to buy Philips when I can because their customer service treated me awesomely on one occasion. However, the only electric toothbrush I ever tried (can’t remember which brand) felt like it was going to vibrate my teeth right out of my gums.
I would love to see a Phillips deal without the stupid app tax. These are, hands down, the best electric toothbrushes available - but I’m not paying an extra $75 for yet another thing my phone can nag me aboot.
I have this model. The BT/app was good for learning how to use it, recognizing the various blips and boops it does, how much to move it around, etc. Can’t beat how clean it gets my teeth, and I paid this much for ONE of them.
I used the cheaper electric brushes because I am cheap. My whife who is not cheap bought a Sonicare. I used it once and went out and spent $160 on my own. I will never go back. You know how after you get a cleaning at the dentist and you run your tongue on the back of your front teeth and it feels like glass… my Sonicare cleans my teeth that good. Never had that with any other toothbrush. Refills are expensive, but I can get them from Costco in a 60 pack, and it’s worth the extra cost.
@bigtom67@blaineg I got mine, eventually. Don’t know the verdict of the lawsuit. Also got the gift bag with the sticker, t shirt, tote, challenge coin.
My wife bought the newer Diamond Clean earlier this year and never opened it. This motivated me to bust it out. I am concluding that the app is essentially designed to force you to have to buy one handle per person because you have to set up an individual profile.
Thoughts?

Bluetooth is expensive!
@geharris70 you mean removing bluetooth?
I’m a big fan of Sonicare toothbrushes and even bought an extra pair here not long ago, but this is nutty.
I’ve bought a few electric brushes over the years, and always end up back to a regular toothbrush. For that reason, I’m out.
@Stallion yo, honestly. My teeth were so clean with my last electric toothbrush but I never even unpacked its charger since the last move…
@lwmctz That’s good to hear. Maybe it was just me I couldn’t stick with it. Careful you aren’t brushing your gums off lol.

I bristle in anticipation.
2 distinct thoughts on this deal:
I only need 1, so can I get 1 for $90?
The world really needs a “connected” toothbrush. Let’s make it a “smart” toothbrush while you’re at it…
@robson 1 for$139 @ Groupon.
Two-for-Tues… wait
My dentist is cheaper than these.
Bluetoothbrush? I’m sorry, But that’s just queer.
I’m a big fan of Sonicare… I bought the 2 pack of the ones that came with the charging case… if that comes back, I’ll be all in again
I love my Sonicare toothbrush. It cost $35. Not sure why this is so expensive.
@Fuzzalini One of the current “Diamond” line isn’t cheap - but it’s definitely not this expensive. I think the phone app is ridiculous.
Why two??
@jewelshound One for your butt.

@Pufferfishy Like this one in July? $64 for two.
@craigthom That wasn’t one of the uber high-end models, but it was an awesome deal. I’d definitely hop on that if it pops up again.
FOOLS! TOOLS! JEWELS! AWESOME!

Costco.com has 2 for $69 right now, no app or diamonds included but I prefer it that way
This is a good buy? $179 for two electric toothbrushes? No way!

Is there any chance these are stolen? Because if they are, I’m in.
@j37hr0 Oh,you want the thrills and spills that we all got to experience with our quip purchase huh??? What a ride that was…
@bigtom67 @j37hr0 I didn’t buy the quip, so I missed some of the excitement.
Was there ever a verdict on “stolen”?
Were they ever delivered?
@bigtom67 @blaineg I got mine, eventually. Don’t know the verdict of the lawsuit. Also got the gift bag with the sticker, t shirt, tote, challenge coin.
I just paid this much for my kid to get a cavity filled. I’m in. It’s got an app, so it just might work on him.
@hrm Oh yeah, I forgot this:
/giphy octagonal-rude-veil
Or, buy the exact same thing at Costco for $35 less (when on sale, $60 less). Yeah, bargain… yeah, no.
Or, better yet, a pair of Sonicares without the stupid bells & whistles, about $100 less…
