Advantages: 2 toothbrushes, rather than just one, improves gum health.

Disadvantages: Expensive replacement heads.

Having already been using a Sonicare toothbrush, I was keen to try this model as although my teeth were getting whiter, they weren't always as shiny and (literally) squeaky clean as they could have been, plus I was still experiencing bleeding gums due to an already existing sensitivity.

The toothbrush is rather too well packaged; it was a bit of a struggle to open inside. The set is complete and covers you for travelling too, which is good.

Brushing with these brushes resulted in a genuinely deep clean feeling as well as, now I've been using them for 3 months, reduced sensitivity of gums (read that as less bleeding and soreness).

There are downsides though, the main one being the exorbitant price of replacement heads which is about £15 every 3 months if you follow the recommendations given by Philips. The RRP of £249.99 is/was excessive too, as far as I can see, in spite of how good the toothbrushes are (remember there are 2 given here). At the current price of £96.88, I would definitely recommend it though.

This review was previously posted on Amazon, under an account registered to the same email address as DooYoo.

Summary: Good electric toothbrush pair IF you can justify roughly £60 a year on replacement heads.
