Customer Reviews

I'm a Big Kid Who Loves this Toothbrush
I got this for myself. I know it's supposed to be a kids toothbrush, but I got a lotta kid in me. I've been using it for almost a month now and my mouth feels fresh and clean. It's way, way better than brushing by hand. I don't use the kid timer, because I'm a big kid and know how long to brush, but if you've got a child, the timer is pretty nifty.

I like the way the brush doesn't vibrate my gums to death. It's made to be gentle for kids, it's gentle for me too. I gotta say, I love this toothbrush.

My Son-In-Law, The Dentist, Likes This!
This is probably the first time I'm able to post an early review for a "Vine" Product, and I feel priveliged to do so!

My (step) son-in-law, a dentist, gets to "preview" items like this, and already has his three children using it. (Ages: 10, 8, 6.) So I KNOW this is a great item. (Hey, Dentist endorsed :>)

He used to manually brush their teeth for them, (just to be sure they were brushing correctly), but switched them to these electronic models (via professional samples) since he believes they do a more thorough job, and the kids really enjoy using them. Because of the unique handle design, he was still able to "guide" their brushing until they got the hang of it (which didn't take long, even for the youngest), and until he was sure they were using the device as it's meant to be used.

The power-modes on the brush (I've listened and watched) are SOMEWHAT quieter than models like this meant for adults (I use a Phillips Sonicare ProResults--love it, but it's LOUD), so there's no "scary" drill-like sound, AND, the scrub-factor is more gentle than on adult models.

It's colorful (the handle), it does a good job, and it trains kids to brush for the recommended 2 minutes (there's a timer on it).

I removed one star from this review, because, in my observations, it seems the handle isn't MUCH smaller than adult size models, and the littlest grandkid just made it, when it came to holding the handle. Another reason for the removal of one star: this isn't something you can just hand the kids and say "brush your teeth." They'll need some instruction, and maybe even help with their first couple of uses.

Still, the above are small issues, because overall, this product does what it says, and what it should, which is: providing young kids with good, proper, and effective brushing.

What a great toothbrush
We have been using the Sonicare brushes for years.... update when new models come out. My dentist suggested it many years ago and it has really helped. Partly because you are 'forced' to brush for two minutes.

The kids brush takes this wonderful brush down to the kids level. The sound emitted during the brush is nowhere as loud as it is on the adult brush so that helps. The ramp up speed is great for them to get used to this new way of brushing. And the idea of knowing when to switch to another side of your teeth and when it is over is so helpful.

The only complaint is the size of the handle....a little bit of getting the hang of it for a 4 year old.

Nonetheless, it does an excellent job. Bravo Sonicare. It's the talk of the household.
