Rechargeable and easy-to-clean
Philips Sonicare HX6511/50 is a rechargeable electric toothbrush, equipped with a slim handle and a ProResults brush head that gently cleans the teeth while removing plaque from areas that would otherwise be inaccessible to the classic manual brushes. The Sonicare EasyClean Toothbrush takes 24 hours to get fully charged. The lithium ion battery can provide up to two weeks of autonomy under typical usage circumstances. The toothbrush is also equipped with a recharge indicator showing the available battery life and warning the user when it needs to be recharged.
Cleans teeth using Sonic Technology
Unlike the classic electric toothbrushes that use a constant rotating motion, Sonicare EasyClean uses a variety of sweeping motions (up to 31.000 per minute). This technology allows fluids to seep deep into tight spaces between the teeth and along the gums, resulting in a more thorough cleaning.
Smartimer, progressive brushing and the Quadspacer
The so-called Easy-Start feature gradually increased the toothbrush’s sweeping motions over the first 14 uses, allowing the user’s gums to slowly adapt to the Sonic Technology.
The Sonicare EasyClean Toothbrush is also equipped with two timers called Smartimer and Quadspacer. The Smartimer feature has the purpose of encouraging the user to brush the teeth for two minutes, like most of the dental professionals recommend. The Quadspace is an interval timer that beeps every 30 seconds, allowing the user to keep track of the time spent brushing each quadrant of the mouth.
ProResults brush head
The brush head has soft round bristles, contoured to match the natural shape of the teeth, allowing for a thorough cleaning along the gums, without hurting them. The ProResults brush head snaps onto the slim handle, making the brush-head replacement and the handle cleaning a lot easier.
Compact and easy to store
At 1.3 x 1.1 x 7.5 inches and just 14.9 ounces (including accessories), the Sonicare EasyClean toothbrush comes in handy at home and while traveling. It also has a hygienic travel cap to keep the brush head clean.
Strengths
Powerful brush, thorough cleaning
With over 31.000 swipes per minute, Sonicare EasyClean is a powerful electric toothbrush.
Simplicity
With only three intuitive software features, this toothbrush can be used by anyone.
Long autonomy
With two weeks of battery autonomy, this toothbrush might come in handy while traveling to remote areas.
Weaknesses
Too powerful for some
Even though it might be of great help to some, the Sonicare EasyClean toothbrush can be too powerful for individuals with sensible teeth or gums, resulting in an uncomfortable brushing.
Noisy motor
Great power comes at a cost and when it comes to the Sonicare toothbrush it seems the powerful motor is quite noisy.
Slippery handle
Because the handle is not thicker towards the brush head, it has habit of making your hand slide up towards the top of the toothbrush, making you accidentally press the power button and switch it off.
Batteries are not replaceable
The batteries are sealed so replacing one translates into buying a whole new product.
Overall Review
The Sonicare EasyClean is a simplistic yet powerful toothbrush, with intuitive features, that does its job very well. Whether at home or on the road, this toothbrush surely comes in handy.
