Product Reviews

(5 stars) - Great Product!
I purchased the Philips Sonicare for Kids for my two boys. They were 'fast' brushers and this is helping them brush the proper ammount of time. I hope to be able to purchase a Sonicare for my self in the future!

(4 stars) - Great Device
Great device works fine, it comes with two replacement brushes, one for child and one for adults, the engine power is enough to clean your teeth or at least for giving you that kind of sensation. You can not wrong by buying this item, if you have the money go for it.

(4 stars) - getting kids hooked...on serious electric toothbrushes, with cartoony design
Despite the cartoony and colorful facade, Philips Sonicare for Kids is every bit a serious electric toothbrush that's not going to kid around about dental hygiene. Feature by feature, this kid version is as sophisticated as my adult Sonicare model. The "kid-friendly" sound that is integrated with the timer, also encourages young 'uns to brush correctly and adequately. If there's one personal luxury parents should encourage their kids to adopt, IMHO getting used to a fine electric toothbrush is a good one. And Philips Soincare doesn't sacrifice any dental benefits from making its product more kid-friendly.

(3 stars) - An adult's toothbrush with kid-friendly sounds and paint job
I've been using an Oral-B Buzz Lightyear rechargeable toothbrush on my four-year-old for a couple of years now; I wanted to see what benefits this model might have over the older unit. Frankly, I haven't found anything compelling in the Philips Sonicare, and neither has my son. I usually offer him the choice of which toothbrush to use, and he picks the older model about 75 percent of the time.

And that's when I'm doing the brushing--he's still not that adept at brushing his own teeth, so I still do most of the brushing. I thought the Sonicare might help him to learn, but it's even bigger and heavier than the Oral-B, so he has a hard time maneuvering it. He usually tries to hold it with two hands--often with one hand up on the brushhead. If it were better designed for a kid, it'd be about half as long (or even shorter). This seems a dead giveaway that Philips simply slapped a pretty paint job on one of its adult models, added some kid-friendly sounds, and called it a kid's toothbrush.

The other problem is due to "sonic" design--i.e., how the brushhead moves. It vibrates instead of rotates, as the Oral-B does, and if I don't press the brushhead to the teeth pretty firmly, it tickles his gums. Whereas, with the Oral-B, the point is to let the toothbrush do all the work, so you don't have to press all that firmly. Philips says the toothbrush is quiet, and it is--but not that much quieter than the Oral-B.

Then there's the fact that this toothbrush costs two-and-a-half times as much as the Oral-B does--or did. Oral-B has discontinued its kid models, though you can still find them; here's a link to one on Amazon: Braun D9513K Oral B Kids Power Toothbrushes- 950TX The Incredibles.

On the other hand, my kid is at the lower end of the advertised age range for this product; older kids--I'd say six and up--would probably have a better time of it. And, the product seems very well made and sturdy.

(4 stars) - Fun for the kids
I got this Sonicare toothbrush for my daughters (ages 10 and 7) who have been using an adult Braun Oral B electric toothbrush for almost 2 years now. They were excited to have their own and one that's more geared toward kids, which perhaps helps with solidifying the brushing habit. The three different decorative templates were certainly an enticement, and they had fun picking which one they wanted to use on it first (I had my doubts but it's still holding on over a month later). The different speeds are a good idea for the younger kids, but mine were already used to switching areas every 30 seconds (this one actually plays a little musical tone instead of just a different vibration). The handle is a bit large but I thought that was more of a plus than a minus (except for maybe the smallest hands). My only complaints are that it would be nice to be able to buy the brush with just larger heads, since my kids are both big enough for them. Also that the charger base is in 2 pieces instead of one, but these issues are really minor.
