Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare UV Sanitizer
Customer Review: Does what it's supposed to do great
Summary: 5 Stars
While that may be an excellent view for a biologist, there's no denying that the product does what it is intended to do: kill bacteria on brush heads. I've had mine since they first came out and had no problem with it. This space is for product reviews, not scientific theories, by giving a product a bad rating on the principle of the thing you undermine the process and mislead consumers. Sodium laureth sulfate and other similar agents do not act to kill bacteria as was stated:
"Sodium laureth sulfate is an anionic surfactant that is used in household products such as toothpastes, shampoos, shaving foams, some disolveable asprins, and bubble baths for its thickening effect and its ability to create a lather. The molecule has a tail of 12 carbon atoms, attached to a sulfate group, giving the molecule the amphiphilic properties required of a detergent."
Those substance are detergents and surfactants used for their foaming properties, they disrupts hydrogen bonding in water causing the bubbling in toothpaste. So, if you value your oral health much then I feel it's a small price to pay for a product that kills the bacteria in tooth brush heads.

Summary: 3 Stars
Having read that much tooth decay is related to bacteria, it seemed sensible that Philips Sonicare would offer a devise to kill bacteria on tooth brushes. I decided to try this product when I saw that it was compatible with Oral B FlexiSoft and FlossAction products. Why? Because I have an Oral B rechargeable toothbrush. I couldn't remember what kind of Oral B I had . . . but how different could they be?
When the product arrived, the first challenge was opening the plastic around the sterilizer. After several attempts, I finally found a tool that would get through the armor-like plastic.
Then, I looked for a description of the benefits of sanitizing. I didn't find any. Hmmm.
Finally, I decided to give the product a whirl. Naturally, my rechargeable Oral B toothbrush didn't fit. So this item is useless to me.
Don't let that happen to you.
I don't know what benefits I would have gotten if the sterilizer had worked with my toothbrush, but I must admit that I haven't had a new cavity in 46 years. So I suspect that my bacteria may not be too big of a problem.
Since I wasn't really able to use the product, I've rated it as a 3 to indicate that I'm neutral. No opinion would have been a better choice, but Amazon.com doesn't offer that alternative.
Keep brushing!
