Ultra Ultrasonex Electric Toothbrush

I purchased a double toothbrush setup from Ultrasonex. In the beginning, it was wonderful, and just as advertised. Then one of the heads broke off. Thinking it was my fault I ordered another complete replacement toothbrush. Then another one broke. Tonight the third one broke. All broke while doing nothing more strenuous than brushing my teeth. Salton/Ultrasonex know they have a really weak link on this toothbrush but would prefer to tell you about all the people who haven't reported a breakage problem. I suspect there are many more than they know. Perhaps the others just throw away the remains of their Ultrasonex and buy a more substantial brand. I have seen ...  Read the complete review

I bought this toothbrush coming up to a year ago now: I was previously using an oral B sonic brush which I got on okay with, but felt it was time to upgrade, and this one seemed a winner. The first thing that struck me was the size of the thing - you can only gauge so much about the dimensions just from a picture on a website. It's some 2/3 inches longer than the Oral B brush that I had, which might not sound a lot, but it was bigger than I was expecting (although given the size of the box it arrived in, I should probably be thankful that it wasn't a foot long..!). Despite its length, the brush isn't particularly heavy or cumbersome at all, and ...  Read the complete review

The Ultrasonex Single Phaser toothbrush comes with a charging stand and three extra heads. Heads are currently £12.99 for three at Boots, so it's worth bearing in mind when comparing toothbrush prices. I've had a cheaper toothbrush, but it came with no extra heads, so the cost starts to build up a few months later when you need to start buying heads. If you've never used a sonic toothbrush before it can feel really weird and it can take a bit of getting used to. It's got two speeds, so you can start off at the lower speed until you get used to it. It has high frequency ultrasound wave vibrations which are supposed to whiten teeth, remove stains and help ...  Read the complete review

I was going to live in the USA (a long story but a short emigration as it turned out). Knowing the reputation we Brit’s have in the states for having bad teeth I wanted to make sure mine were at least the best they could be without dental surgery. I’d already been told by my dentist that my gums were receding due to over zealous brushing so I thought I’d go down the route of the electric toothbrush. After buying, using and binning a number of cheaper electric toothbrushes (for a variety of reasons but mostly because they stop working!) I decided to spend a bit more. At last I chose a good’un. Although the Ultrasonex Phaser was much more ...  Read the complete review

I took advantage of the half price promotion that many outlets were doing over Christmas and bought the Ultra Sonex "Phaser" electric Toothbrush. At Wellbeing.com it was £39.99. I have an old sonicare that is about 5 years old, and needing replaced, so I thought I'd try this type instead. One of the main reasons for straying away from my excellent sonicare that had served me well for all those years was the fact that the replacement heads for the ultra sonex are much cheaper, and the purchase price was of course reduced too. I've been unfortunate to miss all the half price sonicare bargains at littlewoods-index because they sell out so quickly. ...  Read the complete review
