Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare UV Sanitizer
Customer Review: Awesome Sanitation Solution for Toothbrush Heads
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The Philips Sonicare toothbrush sanitizing unit is billed as being simple, sanitary and spectacular, according to the packaging description... and my weeklong experience with it affirms all three of these claims. The hardest thing for me about using this device was simply the matter of attaching the correct toothbrush head attachments, as there were four such plastic parts included in the box, and I first managed to mistakenly install the wrong ones in the wrong places. There are only two types of attachments (Oral-B and Sonicare), and only two positions they can go in, so I got to experience how easy it is to remove one set of attachments and replace them with the other... it's pretty straightforward. Once the toothbrush rests are installed by simply clicking them softly into place, they can rotate around the central UV lamp inside the device... which is small enough to fit on a counter near an electrical plug in the bathroom. Placement is important with this device, since it it should not be opened during the ten minutes when it is running, so it needs to be placed out of reach of small children.
Before getting the Philips Sonicare, I'd been wishing for a way to better ensure cleanliness of my toothbrushes, since it seems obvious that the very process of brushing one's teeth must be placing germs and bacteria on the bristles of the brush that will be used again later that day or the next. While it's possible to run toothbrush heads through the dishwasher, that is a clumsy solution that does not work well for people who brush their teeth more than they do the dishes, and it's also not all that convenient. I've often meant to run my toothbrush through the dishwasher and forgotten to, whereas every day this last week I've intended and managed to run my toothbrush head through the Sonicare system after each time I've brushed my teeth. The brush has come out looking and smelling and feeling clean and sanitized... and while I do not have a bacteria detecting system with which to absolutely confirm the effectiveness of this system, it certainly passes the sense test of appearance, taste, smell, and touch. I already use an air filter which offers UV sanitization as one of its features, so I am familiar with the way fact that UV light has the power to sanitize, and I am aware that a ten minute exposure of a toothbrush to UV radiation seems like just the right length of time to ensure sanitization.
The Philips Sonicare system is extremely easy to operate, taking just ten minutes to fully clenase a brush "down to the bristles" with a light blinking on top of the unit and the UV light glowing out the side of the unit to indicate it is on and operating. This is a very quiet device, so it's pleasant and rewarding to operate... and a great place to leave the brush head if you set it inside for cleaning and walk away.
I would highly recommend the Philips Sonicare system to anyone concerned with keeping their tooth brush heads clean and sanitized. I would also recommend the Philips Sonicare to anyone considering the possibility that they can ensure better health for themselves during times when they are vulnerable to colds and flu. Some of us know to wash our hands, clean our doorknobs, and cover our noses then wash our face and hands after sneezing and coughing when sick, but some people are still coming up that learning curve. Using this product could be a relatively inexpensive and easy way for these people to discover for themselves the benefits of increased hygiene vigilance at times when illness is in their household. Keeping one's toothbrush head germ and bacteria free at the brush itself is a great way to help ensure better overall health and well-being, and the Philips Sonicare system is fun, fast, and easy to use.
