Sonic Electric Toothbrushes by Phillips

Has anybody used a Sonic Toothbrush from Phillips. I had the pleasure of using one for about 3 years.
After that period it was unsatisfactory. It would cut out while brushing, while fully charged, and I could not find a solution to this. I purchased a new one, after 3 weeks I had the same problem with the new one. It was replaced by the shop where I Purchased it.
Now I have the same problem with the replacement. I need a new one that works. I miss the tooth brush so much, it gave a wonderful result, teeth feeling very clean. When I went for checkups, I was always asked if I had just had my teeth cleaned.
The new model no. is HX5310 100420C. I dont have the model no. of the first one I had.
Can anybody help. The shop is happy to refund, but I want the toothbrush. Browtal

MY one is less than a year old and it stopped working last week.

I use this toothbrush, I'm on my second one now, the first one lasted for years & I've had this one for 2.5 years, never had any problems, have recommended them to other people & as far as I'm aware they haven't had any probs either. Not sure if this helps!

We use 2 in the house and no problems to report. Maybe you were just unlucky. I had the same results at the dentist! My 6 monthly check-up is now a yearly check-up because of that toothbrush - They're that good!!

I had one for nearly two years and it just died one morning, even though it was out of 'warranty' I phoned up Philips and sent it back, they posted out a brand new updated model to me....

Thanks for the suggestion slave1.
They're sending me out a replacement too.

I got a replacement from Booths. This also did not work I returned it and got a refund. I bought a more expensive one and hope that this one works. Love the new one. Browtal

Anyone know where you can get cheap replacement brush heads for these? They are very expensive in the shops. Around £25.00 for two or three. I can't find them on ebay.

would appear to have one-third off at the moment, if they are the same model that you are looking for.

We use Oral B toothbrushes and as the heads are very expensive for those also I keep an eye out for when they are reduced in either Argos or Superdrug. Every now and again they run specials on them.

I bought four heads today for our Oral B tothbrushes on our local market at a cost of £6.50.

Do you have street markets over there at which to check out anything similar?
