Loving the water flosser and the sonicare toothbrush, the toothbrush was a replacement as we only use sonicare toothbrushes. The water flosser works great overall, compact foot print works well for our space and the reservoir is sufficient for a full mouth cleaning. The heads quickly click in and out for multiple people in a household to use.

INTRODUCTION
The Philips SoniCare toothbrush combines regular brushing with “sonic” vibrations to help remove food and plaque. If not enough, the kit includes a powered flosser with its own pump to help blast any stubborn remnants from between your teeth, making for healthier gums and hopefully less time in the dentist’s chair.
USE
Initial use for this kit is quite simple. Place the toothbrush on the charger, fill the reservoir with water and dig out all the brush heads and flossing wands and put them all in their proper containers. After the toothbrush charged for approximately 3 hours, it was ready for use.
Philips has joined the bandwagon on packing more and more tech into something that I thought never really needed it. Their new line of toothbrushes and gum care products are all Bluetooth enabled. A download from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store gets the SoniCare app and with an account creation, links your toothbrush to the phone.
The SoniCare app is much like the Oral-B app. It offers you a way to keep track of your toothbrush (and update its firmware), coaches you on your brushing, including time and pressure applied, days left until the head needs replaced, and even allows you to input appointments for the dentist. While I’m not sure of the overall necessity for an app for a toothbrush (something I also questioned with the Oral-B), the SoniCare app did work without issue on both my Android and iOS devices. Good work Philips!
Those of us that have used Oral-B products for years will find the SoniCare experience quite unique. The way the brush operates to clean your teeth is much different than the Oral-B. The combinations of movement and pulses feels awkward at first and does take some time to feel “normal”.
The powered water flosser is a different story. I have some time still ahead of me to master that. The first few times I used it, I wound up laughing more than actual flossing. The pump on the water flosser is quite powerful. Powerful enough to shoot water across the bathroom for several feet. Ask me how I know. You have to make sure you have that flosser in the correct position before using the trigger or yourself, the vanity, and bathroom will all get a good bath. It was humorous the first few times, aggravating the next few times. I’m sure once I get better at it, it will be less messy, but you gotta be on your A-Game when you first give it a go.
NEGATIVES
The only real issue that I can think of is that water flossing can be very messy and you can only go a few seconds before your mouth fills up and you need to spit it all out. I have attempted to use the flosser with my mouth open, but I either need more practice, or it can’t be done as water was shooting around the bathroom like someone unleashed Old Faithful.
CONCLUSIONS
The SoniCare toothbrush and water flosser do seem to do a very good job at cleaning your teeth. My teeth did feel much cleaner flossing after a meal. That is, when I wasn’t spraying water across the bathroom. I have to admit though, the inner child in me found it to be an awesome, secret squirt gun. Not that I would participate in such juvenile behavior.
How well it will performs compared to my existing Oral-B toothbrush in the long run is yet to be seen. But, my initial few uses with the SoniCare have been impressive and positive and I feel the powered flosser does make a tangible difference in how my teeth and gums feel.

Great Brush, Flosser not as powerful as I'd like

I've been using Sonicare brushes for years, I've been very happy with their toothbrush systems. I like them so much that I decided to try this flosser combination and to see if my wife liked it. The system design is pretty nice, fairly compact, a good use of space. I'll start with my wife's impression of the this brush, two words "too big". She prefers a more compact head, I don't mind the brush size, but the supplied brush head is firmer than I like (I have a stock of replacements that fit this brush). This head has some silicon on the back (a new feature) I don't really care for this. The monitored brushing is a nice way to know when to move from one quadrant to another, but they've done this for 10+ years.
Now on to the Flosser, I filled the tank with slightly warm water. After reading the instructions it says to use the flosser much like you brush, moving from quadrant to quadrant. Well I used up a whole tank on the first quadrant, having to spit out the water 3 times. I initially liked the feel, but it seems like there was way too much water being discharged into my mouth. I tried the other "special picks" w/colored tips, and they were worse, more discharged water faster. I changed the mode to deep clean and went from 1-10, I liked 10 the most, as it felt like it was working. But so much water. My dentist uses a water pick to clean my teeth/gums, and the volume of water is significantly less with a finer stream. I was expecting this flosser to be more like the experience at the dentist. The other thing is the length of the flosser cord, it's fairly stiff and only uncoiled a little, so your not going to go more than 2 feet from the machine.
I've now been using the flosser for a week, and I still want a finer stream, to do a good job I have to re-fill the tank 2 or 3 times. That being said the flosser does make my gums feel better, I know it's working (on 10), but the pulsing does not seem necessary, it just seems to use more water. I look forward to using it during fresh corn season. I like the brush, but I think the flosser can be improved (hold more water or use less).

Cleaner teeth and gums system

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I’ve used other electric toothbrushes over the years mostly from the other prominent brand. Getting this latest Philips Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System 7000 almost feels like getting my teeth and gums cleaned by a dental hygienist every day. I don’t know how it does it, but my teeth and gums feel so clean and fresh after each brushing plus flossing session that I’m never going back to using a regular manual toothbrush. The smooth sonic vibrations of the brush head almost create a feeling of gentle water pressure/swishing in your mouth, resulting in a very refreshing feeling. Make sure you close your mouth as much as possible, or you’ll be making a bit of a mess on your mirror.
The setup and use is very simple and straightforward. There are 3 modes of operation intensity: Clean, Deep Clean and Gum Health. The brush head it came with is the new C3 style that is coated with a soft silicone edge on the outside, opposite to the bristles. The charger base is a bit bulky with the water tank and power flosser but the travel case with separate travel charger is a welcome addition.
Compared to other brands I’ve used that consider your mouth to have 4 quadrants, with 30-second brushing of each section, this Sonicare divides your mouth in 6 quadrants with 20-second brushing intervals. That was confusing at first, but the manual is pretty clear about it.
First time using a water flosser, so I didn’t know what to expect, other than be very careful and keep your mouth closed as much as possible or else you’ll splash everything like a kid with a water gun at a pool party. It will take lots of practice to get it just right, but I have a few months before my next dentist visit, so I’m hoping it will make a difference as I do have sensitive gums that bleed a lot if I don’t floss daily. The power flosser has 4 different modes and 10 intensity settings, so if you’re patient and persistent you’ll find the setting that works for you.
The App installed on my Android phone and worked on the first try. I don’t usually bring my phone to the bathroom while brushing my teeth, but I do like usage information and statistics and reminders when to change the brush head. I wish they included more than just 1 brush head, as they could be pricey. I also wish there was a visual indicator, like a red light when you’re pushing the brush head too hard against your teeth/gums. Other than that, this is a very nice and comprehensive teeth and gum cleaning system.

I have use the Philips Sonicare line of toothbrushes from years now, and have really enjoyed my previous hand that had Bluetooth and app connectivity to help promote better bushing and coverage. I have also been looking at various water flossers to better clean between my teeth, this knocks two things out at once! The combination base is excellent for my main bathroom, where I do the majority of my brushing and flossing, but they also include a brush only compact base for other areas of your home or while on the go! The app functionality is still amazing with brushing, allowing for accurate and well timed visuals to show that you have proper coverage of the six zones of teeth, but the integration with the water flosser is an excellent bonus, as well! This allows you to ensure you clean your entire mouth, without spending too much or too little time in each area. My dentist was already thrilled that I was using a Sonicare toothbrush before, and when he noticed the spaces between my teeth and my gums were looking cleaner and healthier, I told him I could only attribute that to using a water flosser now, too!
I would definitely recommend this toothbrush & water flosser combination system, it is truly everything you need for a healthier smile, except mouth wash, and it all fits cleanly and nicely into a smaller footprint on your bathroom counter than having two separate systems!

Upgrade To Oral Hygiene

The Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System has many neat and useful features for dental hygiene. It helps provide dentistry type care for your teeth at home!
I loved how the Sonicare system includes so many accessories for home or when traveling. The system includes the Power Flosser 7000, a 600ml water reservoir, three different water flossing nozzles, a nozzle case, the ExpertClean 7300 Toothbrush, a toothbrush head plastic cover for when not in use, a travel carrying case, a travel charger/dock, and a carrying case where 2 brush heads fit (in case you and your partner are traveling together, it saves you space). Pretty much everything you can think of to take on the go too!
When using the Power Flosser, you have three different water flossing nozzles: the Quad Stream nozzle, comfort nozzle, and standard nozzle. The Quad Stream nozzle shoots out water in an "X" shape and is meant to cover more tooth area quicker. The comfort nozzle is meant for sensitive gums and the standard nozzle for regular, day to day cleans. The Power flosser itself also has 4 modes of flossing (clean, deep cleaning, sensitive, and massage) and 10 different levels of water pressure intensity. One of my favorite modes is the Deep Clean mode; it pulses water as you move through each tooth. Massage mode helps massage your gums for a relaxing, clean feel and the sensitive mode is for people who would like a gentler clean. I would say to definitely begin at a lower water intensity and then move the level up as your teeth and gums get used to the power flossing. Another neat feature I liked about the flosser is the magnetic dock. After flossing, the flosser can easily be placed back onto the magnetic dock and powers itself off.
One thing to note, if this is your first time using an electric toothbrush or flosser, it will take some getting used to and there is a small learning curve. However, after you notice the results of your oral hygiene (like I did initially), you will see how switching to electric was the best decision for your oral hygiene you could've made.
The ExpertClean 7300 toothbrush comes with 3 different brushing modes - clean, gum health, and deep clean+. With each mode, you can also change the level of intensity from 1 to 3. Like the power flosser, it would be good for you to begin at a lower intensity as your mouth and teeth become accustomed to the electric toothbrush sensation. You can turn on the toothbrush by pressing the power button or simply by pressing the button underneath it to select the brushing/clean mode. To adjust the intensity, select a brushing mode, press the power button, then hold the brushing mode button until your desired intensity is selected. Also, I recommend brushing at a 45 degree angle, as the manual recommends, and not at a straight 90 degree angle. This will ensure you brush properly, reducing vibration for a more comfortable clean without hurting your teeth or gums. After you finish brushing, you can easily charge it by placing it on the small docking station. Throughout my time using it, I noticed the battery lasted under an hour of total use. While this is not a whole lot of time, I can't imagine anyone attempting to brush their teeth for extended periods of time and not going back to replace their toothbrush on the handy dock.
Lastly, one of the coolest features this Sonicare system has is the Bluetooth functionality and the Sonicare app. You are able to track your brushing schedule, how many uses for your toothbrush head you have left before it's recommended to change out, update the toothbrush firmware, and more.
Other than the learning curve and taking some time to get used to, another downside is how messy it can get when using both the toothbrush and flosser system. For brushing, it's necessary to keep your mouth open to ensure a proper clean, but can also cause toothpaste to fly from the toothbrush. As for the Power Flosser, water can be sprayed from your teeth to your surroundings and across the bathroom if not used carefully.
Overall, the Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser and Toothbrush System is a very nice upgrade to your standard manual toothbrush that also brings an upgrade to your oral hygiene. I definitely recommend it for someone looking into electric toothbrushes and would like a change in their oral hygiene. While it's up to the person to completely make the change in their oral hygiene, this system definitely helps get you moving in the right direction.

Philips Sonicare Keeping my Teeth and Gums Healthy
|
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
Philips Sonicare Power Flosser and Toothbrush System is an absolute deal and a complete system for you to keep your teeth and gums happy and healthy. I have had a week with the new 7000 series products and being an already end user of Sonicare products, I wanted to see the improvements Philips has made since 2018 when I purchased my last products.
The Toothbrush is great as I expected matching and honestly beating the 2018 version when it comes to the feel on my teeth. I feel that Philips changed the intensity of the vibration to a true 3 level system for low, medium and high. The picture I included shows the original on the left and new on the right. My original is hard to notice much difference between low, medium and high. The updated brush besides looking better, had a much more prominent difference between the 3 power levels.
Also, the 2022 version uses the same replacement head structure, which is great, because now my wife can have the old one an stock leaving my brush heads on the sink to fall on the floor.
The Power Flosser has a charging base for the toothbrush but due to my bathroom design, we do not have the counter space to keep the power flosser on top. Luckily, Philips includes another individual base to keep that brush charged daily and I must say, hats off to them for including that extra charging base, helps for traveling too.
The flosser is great, the white tipped cleaner is my favorite already, making sure my molars are clean of heavy foods before brushing and rinsing. The white tip on level 6 power gets pulled pork loose and I have yet to go over that power level. The clear tip also forces out heavy foods just as well as the other two, just no guard or tip protection like the other 2 included tips. The purple tip seems to work best for me on for the backside of my front teeth.
With the Power Flosser, here comes the main reason for the 4 stars and not the 5 it almost deserved. The base is great with the power connector under the unit and a cord routing channel as well. It is great but not perfect, meaning, here are the 2 reasons for the 4 stars. First, the wound up water carrying tube is horribly stiff, making me pull over the base 3 times in a week spilling water all over my feet. The tube does not flex or pull out easy and this is because they need it to stay its shape for storage as they picture. This makes the reach very hard for tall people like myself, in turn, makes me have to bend over to the point I cannot look in the mirror to see what I am doing. Secondly, the water container falls off so easy making it very frustrating when putting away or if you move wrong and it all of a sudden is no longer giving you water. Philips could easily fix this with a little latch or magnets.
Being a house that is old. our sinks are small, so I have to store this in the closet and every night for the past week, the top has fallen off when setting on the closet shelf, it is truly a frustrating design of the Power Flosser. The Power Flosser does make up for most of the hassle with its function and power, but, these 2 things keep it from a 5 star all day long in my house.
So, to finish out, here is some Pros and Cons to the Philips Sonicare 7000 series products.
Pros:
Power to clean out hard foods
Brush works perfectly as every other Sonicare and better to be honest
Same heads as all other Sonicare brushes
Integrated brush charging base
Included Separate charging base
Great looks and easy to clean
Cons:
Water Tube stiff making it difficult for tall people
Water container falls off way too easily
So, if you have a nice place to store or a sink large enough to keep this on top all the time, this is a perfect fit and you will love the Philips 7000 Series Sonicare products. If you are like myself and have to store it every night, be ready for a little frustration with storage.

Smooth sailing to clean teeth

I own a few power toothbrushes, Philips and the other brand. Because the brushes keep getting better and I like having the latest and greatest, if it truly is a better product. This Philips Power Flosser with Sonicare Brush is the best cleaning short of a dentist cleaning so far. It does take time to do everything this kit can do to remove foreign particles from your teeth and mouth. And yes, the flosser will be a bit splashy. Have a towel handy. The reward for the 5 minutes you spend brushing and spraying your mouth will be fresher mouth and likely better dental visits. The kit is simple to use and has settings for those new to power brushes and oral irrigators to those advanced users that want full power to blast stuck food particles.
My favorite setup is the "quad stream" water head after using the toothbrush on the "deep clean+" setting. The brush has 3 settings and day to day the "clean" setting is probably best. But, the deep clean is where the brush head and motor shine. The normal brush head vibration is bumped up and seems to add a pulsating feel. And WOW do my teeth feel amazing afterwords. Plus, with this toothbrush head being the Premium C3 rubberized (or silicone coated) with longer bristles top and bottom. You don't get that odd cringy feel when a sonic brush head hits a tooth. It's all smooth sailing to clean.
I really like this kit and the nearly perfect cleaning it can give my teeth. I would like Philips to know there might be a little room for improvement. The case for the toothbrush to travel and the additional charger are great. But, the case for the flosser heads with no clear place on the flosser unit seems a bit of an oversight. The case doesn't attach to the base and the heads have no built in home on the base unit. Not sure why, this feels like an afterthought. You built-in a place for the toothbrush. A little nozzle garage or a mount for the case to snap onto might be better.
If you have teeth and you want them clean. This is a Must Buy.

Philips Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush
Summary:
Powerful and refreshing oral hygiene tool.
Pros:
* Modest form factor. I've owned older versions of the power flosser and they have tended to be on the larger side. This unit is just large enough without being too much of a vanity hog. It also has a clear lid rather than a bulky accessory lid that blocks light. So visually, it occupies less space.
* Flosser function is fantastic. The power flosser is awesome! The included heads and control are an improvement over the older versions of this tool. When my last unit finally died, I stopped using a power flosser. I had forgotten about how great my gums felt after a flossing session. Wax strings just aren't the same thing. This allows me to target areas of my mouth more precisely and apply just enough pressure to dislodge stuff with out awkward contortions.
* Toothbrush! This unit is an upgrade for me because this unit comes with a power toothbrush. I've always owned a power toothbruth and so being able to consolidate to a single unit was certainly welcome. Being a Soniccare toothbrush, it works just as well as you would expect.
Cons:
* I don't know how I would improve upon this device. I don't really have any complaints.
Use:
Flossing and brushing your teeth has never been easier with no excuses thanks to this integrated device.

UNBOXING:
The unboxing experience of the Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System is pretty straightforward. In the box, you receive the Power Flosser machine and removable reservoir, 3 flossing nozzles plus a nozzle case; the toothbrush plus brush head, and travel case, and also a travel charger.
There are also two manuals—one for the flosser and one for the toothbrush. I do recommend going through some of the details, as it explains some functionality that you might not otherwise realize if you skip the manual.
BUILD:
Overall, it’s a very plastic build, but that’s to be expected. The flosser is lightweight in the hand and while it’s permanently attached to the system, the tubing easily retracts into place, so you won’t be hassled with the cleanup.
The water reservoir is easily lifted up without any sort of latching mechanism, and the reservoir door swings up from the top so you can refill the reservoir with ease. I found this to be very easy to work with. You just want to take care to hold the reservoir at the base rather than near the reservoir door so that you don’t accidentally lose grip and spill water everywhere.
The pressure level knob on the flossing system has a very gentle clicking feedback when you turn it in order to indicate changes to the pressure level. The Power and Mode buttons, however, are a bit annoying to press because the system doesn’t quite weigh enough to prevent it from sliding across the counter while you press the buttons. So more often, I find myself using my thumb to press the buttons while wrapping my fingers around the flosser for support. This is such a nit-pick thing, but something at least worth noting for Philips to improve upon—whether it means using capacitive buttons or adding more friction at the base so the whole thing doesn’t slide across your sink countertop.
The toothbrush certainly weighs more than the flosser, but was comfortable in the hand, the buttons were easy to press, and it was easy to attach/detach brush heads. And I certainly like that it can be charged by simply dropping it on the Power Flosser’s dedicated charging station as well as the basic travel charger.
FLOSSER:
Starting with the Power Flosser, you have 4 different flossing modes—clean, deep clean, sensitive and massage.
Clean mode pushes water out in rapid succession like a machine gun, while Deep Clean mode starts gentler and ramps up to a peak then abruptly starts over from gentle and ramps up again. This makes it sort of confusing as to why the more brutal Clean mode is not called “Deep Clean”. If I had to guess, Philips might have found that people were more attracted to the name “Deep Clean”, but didn’t want to associate their most brutal mode with the one that people would likely use the most, as this could yield negative results if people found it to be too painful. Whatever the reasoning is, between those two I think the “Deep Clean” mode is probably more comfortable mode at higher pressure levels, while the normal “Clean” mode may yield discomfort at high pressure levels. Your mileage may vary based on the condition of your teeth and gums.
Sensitive is much more like Deep Clean, but it actually oscillates by starting gently then ramping up to its peak, then ramping back down to gentle pressure, and repeats that cycle. Massage mode is more like the Clean mode, but switches between a high pressure blast and a lower pressure blast but in a consistent, rapid succession.
Realistically, I think you’ll find one or two you like and generally stick with them. Overall, I think these modes are really just a matter of preference towards comfort.
Additionally, there are 3 nozzles included which can spray in multiple directions. I’m honestly not sure how necessary this is, as the standard single-direction nozzle can provide the highest pressure for a deeper clean. As long as you are decently thorough, I think that is probably all that is necessary.
Compared to conventional flossing, I do think this does a good job at being convenient and accessible. I recently visited my dentist who told me I should floss more. So I started flossing more with traditional floss and floss picks, but found it somewhat difficult in terms of reach. Not only that, but it was also a more time-consuming activity, which I think detracts a lot of people from flossing on a daily basis.
Interestingly, studies have shown that most people don’t have great flossing techniques. Experts believe that a good flossing technique should be more effective than a waterpik solution, but on average, those who use a waterpik end up removing 17% more plaque than those who only use traditional floss. So while experts might not recommend a waterpik solution to be a pure substitute for traditional flossing, it does appear to be more effective on average because it’s easier to do. And in my pragmatic opinion, having a convenient way of flossing daily is better than not flossing at all.
Overall, I did find the Power Flosser to be quite effective for me. I do have a very mild case of gingivitis around a few specific teeth, so I have been adding flossing to my daily regimen to help reduce plaque and inflammation. While it’s too early to report any concrete results, I do feel confident that this should help reduce bleeding over time. But there is no denying that there is plenty of pressure from this Power Flosser.
TOOTHBRUSH:
The toothbrush is something that Philips has typically done quite well, but I feel as though the execution here could use a bit of work. Firstly, this toothbrush recommends Philips BrushSync toothbrush heads—which basically use unique RFID tags to help the toothbrush detect how long you have been using the head. That allows it to recommend that you change the head once it has worn out. This will typically be every 3 months, but if you brush more than 2x a day, you may find that it recommends a replacement sooner than 3 months. On the toothbrush itself is a small LED that will light up when the brush head needs to be replaced. If you’re the kind of person who switches between different models of brush heads, this usage data should be unique to each brush head.
The caveat to this is that these BrushSync-enabled heads are very expensive. Often between $30 and $40 for a 4-pack. That being said, you do not have to use BrushSync heads.
With that out of the way—the toothbrush has 3 modes—Clean, Gum Health and Deep Clean+. The Clean mode counts 3 minutes of brushing time at a normal brush head vibration level, Gum Health gives a gentler vibration level for 3 minutes, and Deep Clean gives 2 minutes at a more intense vibration level. In each mode, the toothbrush tries to make a somewhat detectable vibration pattern when it’s time to switch to the next section of your teeth/gums, but honestly, it’s just not good. The battery LED on the toothbrush also blinks when it’s time to switch, but this isn’t at all noticeable because it isn’t in your view while you’re brushing your teeth.
The best way to experience these modes is to connect the toothbrush via Bluetooth to the Sonicare smartphone app where you can view the number of times you’ve brushed each day, the average amount of time you’ve brushed per day, and also get feedback about how much pressure you should be applying.
During an actual brushing session, using the app can show you which section of your teeth to brush along with a total countdown timer. When a section is up, it’ll visually indicate to move onto the next session. And if you’re applying too much pressure, it’ll warn you to ease up. The toothbrush handle will also reduce the vibration intensity when you apply too much pressure. Honestly, a mobile app should not be needed for this to be a good user experience, but if we’re being honest, this could use some work. Philips could provide better vibration or auditory cues on the toothbrush to indicate when it is time to change the section of your teeth, and could also do a better job at warning users of applying too much pressure. If they can do that, then there’s not too much reason to use the mobile app other than to see stats on your brushing habits—which can certainly be valuable for some people.
Overall, I think the toothbrush is good, but you’re paying a premium for an experience that doesn’t quite live up to the expectation. However, because it does have the ability to function over Bluetooth, Philips does have the ability to update the firmware to improve on some of these elements. I updated the toothbrush out of the box, and my current experience is better with the smartphone app as opposed to standalone usage, but that really should not be the default.
CONCLUSION:
The Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System 7000 is decent, but it’s also quite expensive. In my opinion, I think you’re likely to get better value out of purchasing a cheaper Power Flosser 3000 and a cheaper Sonicare toothbrush. Much of the features in this system just aren’t ironed out in such a way that makes me feel like they’re imperative to your dental hygiene journey.
I want to be clear—I do think that these products are effective when it comes to your dental hygiene, but these extra features are somewhat half-baked and partly feel like solutions to problems that Philips created. So to me, it doesn’t seem right to charge so much for it.
Overall, for dental hygiene, I like it, but in terms of value, I’d only consider buying it on sale.

Winning Combination

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Phillips Sonicare Power Flosser System is a perfect combination of a water flosser and a Sonicare electric toothbrush. I have used Sonicares for years and always have preferred them over other electric toothbrushes. Though I did own another brand water flosser in the past, I didn’t care for the loud noise or the operation (once on you had to hold the button on handle to not spray water). Phillips has improved on all of the shortcomings and includes a convenient charging base for the included Sonicare toothbrush.
First thing I noticed was how you can turn it on and select your operation mode (clean, deep clean, sensitive, or massage) without shooting water everywhere. The flosser handle magnetically attaches to the base and the cord neatly coils into the unit when not in use. Operation is very quiet, yet powerful and easily adjustable on the fly. It was simple to find a setting that worked well while accommodating my sensitive gums. While they include 3 nozzles to customize the flosser, I found the Quad Stream to provide the best performance. The pulse wave feature ramps the flosser pressure up and down chronically to help guide you from tooth to tooth, though I found myself staying in some hard to clean areas for multiple “cycles”. I am not sure it will completely eliminate the need to floss periodically with traditional filament, but it does a pretty good job and is far more convenient and easier on my gums.
The included Sonicare is a really nice toothbrush with all of the features you would expect. The toothbrush offers 3 cleaning modes and 3 power levels which offer a customizable cleaning experience. Operation was the familiar 30 second quadrant cleaning I was accustom to but it may be slightly quieter and stronger than my old handle. Though only 1 brush head is provided, Phillips does include a travel case and an extra charger that is separate from the power flosser base. Overall it is a really nice kit that provides everything you would need to improve and maintain your oral health.

This Sonic toothbrush and power flosser offers the ultimate cleaning solution for teeth hygiene & plaque reduction. My prior Philips Sonicare toothbrush from 2 years ago (black one pictured) has greatly reduced cleanings at the dentist office, so definitely a fan of these products.
THE BAD: The switch system on power flosser must be pushed up to operate which makes it easier for water continue to flow if you it let go mistakenly. Would have preferred a button system were soon as you let it go it stops. The Phillips Sonic app needs access to your contacts & call history on phone for it to work. Really no reason an app that monitors progress on brushing your teeth should have access to your call history & contacts or maybe I am just paranoid? I hope the company would consider not making that mandatory in a future update.
The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser & Toothbrush System 7000 operates quieter than others & it’s Quad-Stream technology, covers more surface area for a faster, deeper clean versus manual floss. Has an app to monitor your progress. (Could not evaluate it out due to privacy issues) Toothbrush is rechargeable with over a month battery life on a single charge that can charged on Flosser’s base or additional travel charger. Toothbrush comes with travel case and reminds you when to replace brush head and cleans your teeth far better than any manual toothbrush. This unit has easy to follow instructions not that you really need it because quite simple to operate by just choosing a nozzle for floss system, connect brush head and plug in. Brush & floss on a 90-degree angle with cleaning the water reservoir on flosser weekly.
Other than a few issues the product is exceptionally good and may save $$$ in the long run without having cleanings done by dentist and/or prevent major tooth problems, at least in my experience.

Love everything about it besides how hard the bristles on the toothbrush are. They are literally hard as a rock! Not sure if I feel like it's quite worth the price, but it's still pretty new so hard to judge. It would be 1000% better if it came with different brushes for those who can't use the ones that are extremely hard.

I recommend this power flosser for the best hygiene! You can set the flossing modes that will best suit your needs. Our annual dental visits have even better results from using this flosser with our Sonicare toothbrush! Saves time and money on dental visits. Worth the expense and highly recommend this for your household.

I've never brushed my teeth before, and this was an amazing first time. I've written about it in my journal daily. At first, my mouth went numb due to the ferocity of the brushing vibration. I then realized I had it on the highest setting. My average joe set of teeth only requires a modest amount of power, but for those of you rocking a Gary Busey-esque set of chompers, you'll have all the power you need, thing feels like a riding mower at its highest setting.
Anyways, my teeth are clean, and I love the spritzer function. I recommend popping a kool-aid powder packet into the reservoir for top flavor.

Doesn't take much space on the counter and definitely better than a regular toothbrush. Has a lot of features i probably wont use anytime soon but worth having just in case. Been using for about a month now can't say anything negative so far.

This product helps to remove food particles trapped between teeth . The results will be less plaque if any buildup, and fresher smelling breath!
