Feel like you just went to the dentist, every day! View larger. | New Brush Heads for Better Cleaning
The FlexCare uses the newly designed ProResults brush heads with increased tooth coverage and a broader sweeping motion that results in better plaque removal. Combined with Sonicare's sonic technology, the high-speed bristle action allows a powerful yet gentle cleaning action that ensures a deep cleaning between teeth and along the gum line. With a slim, angled neck, the FlexCare makes it is easy to access hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. The ProResults brush heads come in two sizes: "standard" for a regular cleaning, and "mini" for precision in hard-to-reach areas. The toothbrush handle also has a new tapered design that is easier to grip, and with a non-slip soft grip for better control. Compared to the Sonicare Elite, the FlexCare is 30 percent smaller, 16 percent lighter, and has 80 percent less vibration, but achieves superior results. Multiple Cleaning Modes
The FlexCare offers maximum flexibility with your teeth cleaning. There are three two-minute brushing modes that offer "Clean" mode for full power and optimal cleaning, "Sensitive" mode for gentler brushing in sensitive areas, and "Massage" mode for a stimulating, soothing cleaning action. The FlexCare also offers two routines: "GoCare" is a quick one-minute routine for between regular brushings, and "MaxCare" is a three-minute cleaning mode that combines two minutes of "Clean" mode with one minute of "Massage" mode. Thanks to the FlexCare's Quadpacer, the toothbrush beeps every thirty seconds to let you know it is time to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. The brush also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off the toothbrush after the recommended two minutes of cleaning (unless using the MaxCare routine). 
The FlexCare is clinically proven to remove significantly more plaque than Oral-B Sonic Complete. | 
New ProResults brush heads have increased coverage for more plaque removal. | And for first-time users of FlexCare, an "easy-start" feature allows you to work your way up to full strength by gently increasing the power over your first 14 uses. Long Lasting Battery
With a lithium ion battery, you don't have to worry about running out of power when you're traveling; with regular brushing, the FlexCare lasts up to two weeks between charges! Lithium ion technology offers more energy and is more environmentally safe as compared to other rechargeable battery technologies. A deluxe recharge gauge on the handle keeps you notified of the amount of charge left. The Sonicare FlexCare R910 is backed by a 2-year warranty. What's in the Box:
Sonicare toothbrush, one ProResults standard brush head, deluxe charger with cord wrap and brush head storage, luxury soft travel case, hygienic travel cap, three additional color code rings.

Sonicare Rocks! July 22, 2008
I used to think that any power toothbrush would be as good as the next. Then I used the Sonicare and it has blown away all expectations and completely transformed my impression about electric toothbrushes.
Using this toothbrush has given me an unbelievably long lasting clean taste. It probably gets everything you're going after when you brush.
It has a quick brush setting and a longer mode for a thorough scrubbing with a timer to remind you to switch to different areas of the mouth. That's an invaluable feature!
Pros:
1. I liked the step-up power cycle feature which increases the intensity of the vibrations gradually over the first 14 brush cycles and hits peak only once you've had the chance to use it for a week to two (depending upon how many times you brush daily).
2. The brush is ergonomically designed to be easy to a) Hold b) Brush c) clean d) carry in travel pouch
3. Gum Massage feature: Lower frequency vibrations help.
4. You can wrap the excess length of the power cord in the base and hide it from view.
5. I have not replaced the brush on its base for about 3 weeks now and it is still running on half charge. This thing has an amazing battery life!
Cons:
1. Hmmm...let's see. None!
They designed this one really well and I'd be interested in knowing how they plan to improve upon this. Maybe send someone home to brush your teeth for you.
 Good, but annoying design flaw July 19, 2008
I love the way my teeth feel after using this toothbrush. There is simply no comparison between the Sonicare and a cheap electric toothbrush (let alone a "regular" hand held). The vibration takes a couple of uses to get accustomed to, and I'm not sure it would feel great if you have overly sensitive teeth. There are different settings which are essentially different time settings (for a quick clean or a longer clean). Not sure how critical the feature is, but it works.
There is just one annoying feature of the toothbrush. The controls for the different speeds and timing are all on side of the handle, and I am constantly hitting them accidentally while I'm brushing, either turning it off, or changing the mode mid-session. Not the end of the world, and I'm not sure what other design would allow you the options this brush provides. That is the only reason that I give this brush 4 and not 5 stars.
Great product July 19, 2008
Lightweight, small, easy to use, recharges quickly, I like the "massage" feature, it feels quite different from the normal vibration. My teeth feel smooth and clean when I'm finished. I believe it is far superior to my previous rotating head toothbrush. I also like the fact that if you accidently hit the On/Off switch in the middle of a brushing sequence, when you press the switch again, it will continue from where you were in the brush cycle rather than restarting from the beginning of the cycle. Pricey, but worth it in my opinion.
Good toothbrush. But not much better than my prev Elite July 16, 2008
I've owned a Philips Sonicare before this. I dont remember the model. But it was their top-of-the line brush about 4 yrs ago. It stopped working since the little green button got jammed. Both that model & this one have it sealed. So you cant fix it yourself, God forbid that happens. So go easy on that button.
As far as the brushing action is concerned, if you have NEVER used a sonic brush before, then yeah - its great. I've read some reviewers stating toothpaste flying about. You have to be a "leetle stoopid" not to figure around this, if you dont get it right the first time. Just apply the paste about on all your teeth till there's nothing sitting on the brush head. Then operate it.
Another comment was that the brush is a little loud. No its not. And I live in a quiet environment. Its not noiseless of course. Someone near you will hear it. Not the neighbours.
It has a massage mode that is quite nice. You still brush with the same bristles really. But the pulses are more controlled.
The 2 min brush cycle beeps every 30 secs or so to remind you to change position. Again, that's not a new feature over the old brush. Also, the most important point is IMO, the brushing action. I dont consider it to be superior to the prev Sonicare Elite. It did not feel that way at least.
It does have one advantage over the older model. No housing recess for the magnets. So there's no stinky gunk buildup in that chamber. You'll appreciate this if you owned the earlier models. Otherwise, disregard.
All in all, a good brush.
No I did not waste money on the sanitizer. Use Hydrogen Peroxide 3% from your friendly, or otherwise neighbourhood chemist. The sonic action with the peroxide should shake the hell off any bacteria in the bristles. Dont waste money on the sanitizer please.
better than oral-b July 15, 2008
the vibration is better designed to get between teeth-to-gums and teeth-to-teeth. oral b is more like a sanding machine and makes me concerned about enamel wear.
the color of this item is more of a light pastel green and not blue as on many images. it does come with only 1 head -- kind of skimpy there -- which is the standard "pro" size. if it were the compact size i doubt it would wrap around several teeth properly as this one does.
a great thing is the deluxe charger. what this means is that there is a cap on it that allows you to stand up two brushes but if you remove the cap on the charger base, then it becomes travel compact, less than 2 inches wide! i really like that part of the design.
