An electric toothbrush that’s less than half price on Amazon is being hailed by customers for leaving teeth cleaner and whiter.
The Philips Sonicare 5500 Electric Toothbrush, which usually sells for €254, is now going for just €123.95 – a whopping 51% off. Available in both white and black, Philips claims this electric toothbrush can help you achieve ‘seven times more plaque removal’ and eliminate surface stains. The brand also claims the toothbrush will leave your teeth up to two times whiter, which is supported by one Amazon shopper who says ‘people ask if we’ve whitened our teeth’.
The toothbrush comes with two brushing modes; ‘clean’ for plaque removal and ‘white’ for tackling surface stains for a brighter smile. It utilises Next-Generation Sonicare Technology, boasting 62,000 bristle movements per minute for a ‘consistent clean, even in hard-to-reach areas’.
But that’s not all – the Philips Sonicare also features an intelligent pressure alert to safeguard your gums, gently pulsing and reducing vibrations when you brush too hard.
This Amazon-exclusive package not only includes the high-tech toothbrush but also comes with a W2 Optimal brush head, a handy travel case and a charger (note, there’s no power adapter provided).
Philips doesn’t shy away from backing their product either – they’re offering a 30-day money-back guarantee as well as a solid two-year warranty.
Out of over 940 reviews, this product has earned a standout score of 4.4 out of 5. One customer who gave it five stars said: “This is quite possibly one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I’ve recommended this to friends and family who, like me, couldn’t see past the price, but it’s worth every penny.”
Another said: “Both myself and my wife use it (with different coloured heads), and the battery lasts well over a week with two people doing two full two-minute cycles per day. Our teeth have never felt so clean and smooth, and despite eating at lunch, they still feel squeaky clean later in the day.
“Plaque build-up has disappeared, and people have genuinely asked us both if we’ve whitened our teeth..”
One satisfied customer shared: “This is an incredible toothbrush that is both gentle yet thorough in cleaning my teeth and gums. It has great features and is simple and easy to use. My teeth and gums feel so much healthier already after using it for just a few weeks. Very happy and pleased.”
Another added “Amazing toothbrush. I got this on offer, but it is worth the money even when it’s not on sale. My teeth are gleaming. The handy travel case and brush head cover make it easy for travel. The charge seems to last forever.”
They did, however, have one complaint: “The only thing I dislike about it is the brush heads are expensive.”
However, not everyone was thrilled with their Philips electric toothbrush. One person reported: “At first the battery lasted about 10 days. Now I have to charge it daily.”
Similarly, another user found that: “This Sonicare brush seems to be most effective for me, but it only lasted just over a year and then completely died.”
Considering the overwhelmingly positive reviews however, it’s clear most people are delighted with their purchase.
