Why and how was a toothbrush worth 200 quid at one stage...

The same could be said about a hair dryer or vacuum cleaner.

Are you possibly confusing it with this one which was £60 in September?

This model was £99.99 for all of September and its current priced is the cheapest it's ever been according to Keepa.

I am indeed mate.

HX6806/03 was the model I purchased.

Serious piece of kit for anyone in the toothbrush market.Travel case v handy, can charge it within the case in case you don't have one of those two prong shaver plugs.

NSAman · 18-03-2020 6:21pm

Agree with a previous poster, this is worth the money. Last visit 3 weeks ago for a cleaning, dentist even commented on how little they had to do cleaning wise.

Johnny Storm · 19-03-2020 4:18pm

Thanks OP!

Just FYI this one has a different style of charging base than other Sonicare toothbrushes that I have seen so beware if you have limited 2-pin sockets in your bathroom

I have this brush and it’s the nuts, well worth the money, replacement heads can be bought cheap enough on eBay

Definitely agree with this, got mine just over 5 years ago and it's still going strong even after being dropped from head height a couple of times. Never regretted the ~€180 I spent on it at the time. There may be better options out now, since then, but at the time this definitely was up there with the best you could get

How leave it charging all the time?
How is the battery life after this amount of time?

I think this model was only released in 2019 so must be slightly different to yours.

I think I bought mine around the same time 5/6 years ago, although I've had to make a couple of repairs to mine it's still going strong.

I charge mine when the warning light comes up. Takes about 24 hours to charge fully but then will last for about 3/4 weeks, even after all this time. Think I paid €130 in Boots just before Christmas for mine back in 2014/2015.

Your teeth feel noticeably cleaner after it and my hygienist always says it looks like I'm doing a good job cleaning whenever I go in.

The brushes are expensive but just keep an eye on CamelCamelCamel for when they drop or else buy the non-Philips one. The latest batch of brushes I use are non-Philips and there's not really any noticeable difference bar the price!

Nope I charge it every 2-3 weeks using a USB cable, basically still has battery life as good as when it came out of the box. Yeah they probably released an updated version of it so you'd hope the battery life and quality would be even better again

SmallTeapot · 21-03-2020 11:59am

I bought this - thanks for the heads up Davy

I had one a few years ago and remember it was brilliant. However, after been knocked off the ledge once too many times by myself and others, it’s not in the best condition.

I also note from the other reviews that the old charger (glass and puck charger) works with newer 2019 version.

Highly recommend this one. 2 toothbrushes with a bunch of different settings, 8 spare heads and USB chargers. Got it for myself and my husband last summer and I've been so impressed with them. It's cheaper now too than when I got it, £32 currently.

link below to better option-say what you want but this company didnt disappoint me in slightest, only about 20 quid but you do get few nice extras, battery holds well, and close to 5 stars overall from reviews, id buy 3 of these, which i actually did before xmas, and happy as is, have philips eletric one but this one keeps job done as good, dont imagine philips have much in terms of being better, as this was suggested before on here and def a bargain and quality one at it as well.

Some of the review for this tooth brush are very bad - I wonder is this why it is reduced to half price? But still very expensive

While your experience has been good with this toothbrush, I'd be wary of high reviews on brands/ items which are not well known (or indeed persuaded into buying), as the reviews are usually inflated or fake

believe me well aware of fake hype, but this isnt the case where someone was gifted one to promote it. as many dodgy companies opt for.

I've personally found the algorithms on Fakespot to be overly-critical for most products I've bought and liked. I'd be more wary of paying a large premium for a device purely because you recognize the brand name and not because you've found evidence that it is in fact significantly superior to cheaper alternatives.

True, true - I wholeheartedly agree with you both (on Fakespot, even the Philips listing has a C grade iirc). Likewise, I have over the years bought some fairly sub-par items at a sizable price by trusting a legitimate name (Sony, I'm looking at you!)

I bought the Philips Sonicare Diamonclean (that Davy listed) yesterday, to replace my old model. At the current price (£78.64), I think it's a decent buy - especially from amazon as it comes with 2 year warranty; however, IMO I don't think it's worth more than 100 euro - the price is completely inflated.

I suppose it all comes down to being a conscious consumer.

Johnny Storm · 23-03-2020 3:40pm

I've had 3 Philips Sonicare toothbrushes over the years not including this one and they really are great. They get you teeth a lot cleaner than a regular vibrating/oscillating electic toothbrush like OralB.

But as noted above this one has a different style of charger to my older ones

Davy · 21-05-2020 6:17pm

Posting this here for anyone who was interested but didn't buy. This might be an option. Its the lowest price that I can see.
