Philips RS930 FlexCare Sonic Toothbrush

Worthwhile Investment

Strengths: Many features, easy to clean, improvement over older models

Weakness: Pricey

I had a Sonicare Elite for years that I stopped using because of the way it vibrated to much, part of it hit my other teeth, and it got gunky. This model is such an improvement and really is worth the money. I have some periodontal problems and the dentist recommended using a Sonicare again. I couldn't be happier with this model.

I had a Sonicare Elite for years that I stopped using because of the way it vibrated to much, part of it hit my other teeth, and it got gunky. This model is such an improvement and really is worth the money. I have some periodontal problems and the dentist recommended using a Sonicare again. I couldn't be happier with this model. It seems to clean my teeth better than the old one and easier to get to the back teeth with. I keep it clean by removing the brushhead and setting it aside, then clean the handle and base with a rubbing alcohol pad, rinse out the head well and pop it in the sanitizer. Don't think it could be much cleaner!

RS930 Flexcare Sonic Toothbrushes

Strengths: Ability to sanitize toothbrushes. It's a Sonic by Phillips.

Weakness: None

I've used a Sonicare Toothbrush for years, but recently it died. I purchased the RS930 Sonic Toothbrush because of the ability to sanitize the brushes. I was amazed at the power.
Having used my old Sonic for quite a few years, I am daily impressed at the cleanliness of my mouth. I also like the ability to work on sensitive/massage modes.

Pricey, but the best on the market

Strengths: quiet, charges quickly, toothbrush head sizing and design, variety of brushing modes, very good at cleaning teeth

Weakness: availability of replacement heads, especially the compact head

Many stores carry replacement heads for other Philips Sonicare models. Replacement Flexcare heads are slightly different and not as readily available. Online sites typically sell the regular head but not the (smaller) compact head, which does a better job of cleaning. I anticipate having to order directly from Philips.

RS930 FlexCare Sonic Toothbrush

Strengths: Powerful, easy to use and easy to clean

Weakness: none

I had been using one of the older Sonicare models, and it was difficult to keep clean. The UV cleaning of brushes is excellent. The design of the case makes cleaning very easy. The Flexcare is a big step up in convenience and power. The handle is lightweight and more powerful than my older units. I like this model!

Amazing Improvement

Strengths: Quiet, powerful

Weakness: None

I upgraded my old Sonic Care to this one and found it is much quieter. You can't hear it if the bathroom door is closed. I also found this to be much more powerful moving the brushhead more than my old one resulting in a better cleaning; at least that is what it feels like. All the electric gismo's I don't use. I just turn the thing on, brush, and turn it off (though sometimes it turns itself off...

All the electric gismo's I don't use. I just turn the thing on, brush, and turn it off (though sometimes it turns itself off due to the timer).


I've also found this model much easier to keep clean. The way the head and post are designed it makes it much easier to rinse thoroughly and have no gunk build up.


I highly recommend this toothbrush to everyone.
