SONICARE PHILIPS One Battery Toothbrush, Miami Coral, HY1100/01

I've been a happy Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush user for 15 years. Recently, I tried this Philips Sonicare Battery Toothbrush in Miami Coral and was pleasantly surprised. It's great for travel, thanks to its compact size and long-lasting battery. While it doesn't quite match the cleaning power of my Sonicare, it's a significant improvement over manual toothbrushes & perfect for travel.

It's ok, small for travelling but isn't quite the strong clean as a regular sonic toothbrush. It's fine for travelling however. Convenient to fit in a toiletry bag where as the full size sonic takes up too much room. I'll continue to use it for trips.

I love this little electric toothbrush. Wanted one for my trip to the states and it performs. It is small, has enough power to give a good brush and the battery seems to last a long time. I used it twice a day for 12 days without issue.

I have this toothbrush in a couple different colours. I absolutely love it. I have super sensitive gums that always bleed when I brush my teeth. This brush has very soft bristles therefore cause very minimal bleeding, it is small enough for my mouth which is hard to find for me, it vibrates just enough. You definitely notice it- but it doesn’t rattle your teeth out of your head like some do. The colours are everything! I already own the mint, and I was going back and fourth between this one (mango) and the yellow one. Honestly, I’ll probably end up buying both. Or maybe just mix and match the replacement heads!? These are just so fun and also very affordable.

I have been using Philips electric toothbrushes for almost 10 years; at home and travel. It has been positive experience over long time. Philips has an established name. When this product comes out, I like it. It is light and small. It is convenient for travel, because it does not require a charger. Batteries are available everywhere. I review buyer comments. And I decide to buy it.When receiving the product, what I learned before purchasing is still correct. But I encounter 2 disappointments.My first impression is the difficulty to remove the cap covering the battery. I read the manual and follow it. But it is still difficult. There is a dot indicating the position where the cap is closed, and another dot for the open position. But the cap is not released when it is in the open position. I use a knife to separate the cap. [I would not recommend other people doing this way, though.]I look into the compartment to learn how it works for the next time I need to open the cap. I find that the design is not satisfactory to my expected standard. The material is thin plastic gluing to the case. There is plastics which lasts long. But looking at this material and its design, I wonder how long it will last. Hard to say. [I am pensioner graduating from an engineering university in Germany. Maybe I am bias because of my background.] I find out that the reason that it is difficult to remove the cap: the air gap between the cap and the case may be too tight.My second impression is the manual. Since the letters in the manual are too small for my eyes (pensioners), and since I need a soft copy to save for future reference, I go to the Philips website to download. People say that only engineers read manuals :-) :-)To my surprise when I open the manual: all are in Chinese (or Japanese?), which I cannot read. It turns out English is on the page 2!I don’t know what Philips thinks when they do this way! Customer’s initial feeling when receiving the product is important! My thought when seeing Chinese (or Japanese?) is that “this product is designed for Chinese market”. Expect Chinese quality standard! Don’t expect Canada or US design standard in this product. This is my initial feeling, which may be wrong.This toothbrush uses its own brush heads. I prefer that it uses the same brush heads as the electric brush (named ProResults). It is convenient to users like me. It reduces the cost to the manufacturers. When I was working as an engineer, I learned to reduce number of parts. The number of parts increases the cost: stocking, administration, delivering, supporting. Maybe marketing strategy has changed that Philips now focuses on selling parts instead of selling products? The price of a pair of brush heads is $13.44 CAD (equivalent to $6.72 CAD a head). Not a small amount.This product can be improved. After improvements it could be sold well.
