I do believe my husband and I are very lucky to own one of these toothbrushes, they are amazing and I don't think I would ever go back to a manual toothbrush after using one of these beauties. If and when I am going to get my children to have electric brush's and I think they clean better and are easier to use. I think they give our teeth that extra special sparkle.

With my trial period over and just having a dental appointment, my dentist was happy with the cleanliness of the base of my teeth and the health of my gums, given the poor standard they were the last time I was there. So thank you to Mouth of Mums and the sponsors very much, not only have I enjoyed this trial but you have saved me some 'REAL' money in my future dentistry.

I know what to get my mother-in-law now for her birthday, I have been trialling this product for over a month and both my husband and I love it and we keep bragging about it to my parents who have now bought one and to my other family and friends. My husbands mum can't afford much and I think that this product would get its use out of it if we bought for her birthday and then too she can brag about it.

So this is my final review of the Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I have to say it has beena pleasure trialling this product. I will not go back to a "manual" toothbrush and have already gone and bought replacement heads for when needed. I am also very happy to report I have my toothbrush on charge - the second time since starting this review , the first time being when we received the product. That is incredible - and considering it has been used 4 times a day that is a terrific charging capability. I am in love with my Phillips Sonicare Flex+ and I and my mouth/teeth thankyou MoM for giving us the chance to be a part of this amazing trial .

I still love using the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ tooth brush. We went away for a couple of days and took the toothbrushes with us in the carrier. The battery lasted for the 2 nights and the carrier kept our toothbrushes clean and dry. The only thing so far I would improve, and it is merely my personal preference would be to offer toothbrush heads that offer different bristles. I always prefer strong stiff bristles while my wife prefers soft bristles. I did not notice the difference as first. But since using the toothbrush continuously for a few weeks, I find myself wanting harder bristles. However, I will not be going back to my manual toothbrush as I've noticed a cleaner feeling and look to my teeth with continued use.

I haven't liked using this electric toothbrush at all. I haven't ever used one before my Mrs. got this, and the vibration feeling in he head and ears freaks me out. I have kept trying it to keep her off my back, and yes, we are seeing a difference in the stains on my teeth.

My mouth seems to get cleaner and cleaner is that is possible!! To be honest though, I have not found all of the settings beneficial for my personal use. Have an appointment with my Dentist soon so it will be interesting to see what he thinks. My partner has had issues using an electric toothbrush, doesn't like the vibration feeling in his mouth and the noise it makes in his head. Found that interesting.

Still having an amazing experience with this great toothbrush. My teeth continue to feel really clean and smooth even after eating which is a great bonus. They are looking whiter and my gums have stopped bleeding which is a great accomplishment. I'm recommending this toothbrush to as many people as possible.

This is a winning product all the way. The robustness and quality that shines through the Flexcare+ can only be the result of meticulous research and execution of a big brand like Philips. I'm happy to have been able to use it now and am confident that my visits to the dentist will be fewer and further apart. Thank you Philips!

After four weeks of using the Philips Sonicare I'm hooked. There's absolutely no way I'll be returning to my old toothbrush. The only problem I foresee is if my wife ever needs to go away for a night or two and takes the brush with her - all I'll be left with is my little brush-head!
I see the UV Sanitiser as a bit of a novelty, however if there was some way to clearly prove to me the benefits of a UV 'cleaner' then I may have scored the rating higher. Apart from that, I have already been spruiking this product to friends and work colleagues and I know a long lasting relationship has now been created.

After a month of using my FlexCare+ I am here to profess my love! In my opinion, using an electric toothbrush takes some getting used to and on that basis I am so glad we had 4 weeks to build a relationship and to form an opinion. My vow to my Sonicare: I will never go back to the old manual way ever again.

When my wife first told me that we'd been chosen to review an electric toothbrush, I was curious. I already own an electric toothbrush which I am happy with, but agreed to give the review one a go.
After using it over the past weeks, I will admit that it does appear to do a good job of cleaning my teeth.
However it is overly complex, to the point of fault. There is no mode for just brushing your teeth - the designers have attempted to dictate the sequence that teeth should be brushed in the division of the brushing time into set periods, and I've been unable to conform to their proposed brushing sequence. Unfortunately, the way the periods are communicated (changes in the vibration pattern) mean that this is a constant irritation. I'd prefer a mode that just runs for however many minutes without any interruptions.
I doubt the purported benefits of the UV steriliser. The fact that the brush-heads are stored in a closed box will provide more net health benefit. I also disagree with the desire for total cleanliness - a bit of dirt is good for the immune system. I don't see the need for including the steriliser at all.
What has me most concerned though is the rate at which the brush head has worn. The marker bristles are nearly totally worn away, and we've only had the toothbrush a month. Genuine heads are priced at twice what I can get genuine heads for my toothbrush for, and appear to last less than a third as long. That means it will cost about six times as much to run just in replacement heads alone.

My final review! What can I say, except that I LOVE this toothbrush! I am SO happy that I was able to participate in this review, and there is NO way that I'm giving it up! It has made my mouth look and feel fantastic, and I must admit I've been enthusing about this brush to all my friends and family!

It's a competent toothbrush, but it's overly complicated, expensive to buy, expensive to run, and it seems as though the heads are wearing out much quicker than I'd anticipated. I was initially concerned that the UV Sanitiser was making the heads wear faster, but that didn't turn out to be the case. The heads simply do not have a long lifetime. Saying that, the brush does do a good job and gives a good, clean feeling.

“My Floor Has Never Been So Clean”: The Mop That’s Winning Over Mums
Mopping isn’t exactly the chore most of us look forward to, but like most mums, for Katrina Macilroy, it’s unavoidable.
With three teenagers, a husband, a dog, two cats and timber flooring throughout most of her home, there’s plenty to keep her mop busy.
“I thought the toddler stage was hard, but teenagers take it to a whole other level,” Katrina told Mouths of Mums.
She describes herself as a ‘full-time Uber driver’ for her three kids, but when she’s home, she may as well be a full-time cleaner.
Her husband is a concreter, the family has plenty of sand coming inside and, with teenagers touching everything, the floors quickly show the evidence of a full family life.
“I have to mop like every second day because the floor gets marks,” she said.
So when Katrina was given the chance to try the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, she was keen to see whether it could actually make one of her least favourite cleaning tasks any easier.
“I didn’t have high hopes for it to start with, because I’ve used spin mops before and I’d been disappointed,” she admitted.
But it didn’t take long for her to change her mind. One of the first things Katrina noticed was just how easy the mop was to use.
The foot pedal made wringing the mop quick and simple, without having to stop and fiddle with anything.
“It was so easy to spin it,” she says. “It wasn’t like you’re spinning it for hours or anything.”
She was also impressed by how quickly the mop itself could be put together, and the simple button that releases the mop head for washing.
“That simple press notion, everyone can do that. So I love that.”
It’s The Little Things That Add Up
For Katrina, who regularly finds herself cleaning up after a busy family, these little details made a surprisingly big difference. She also loved the triangular mop head, particularly when it came to getting into the corners and edges that her previous mop struggled with.
“The triangle design makes it easy to get into all the little corners,” she says.
But ultimately, the big question was whether it actually cleaned her floors. Katrina’s answer was an enthusiastic yes.
“My floor has never been so clean,” she says.
Katrina was also surprised by how light and manoeuvrable the mop felt, because at just 4’11”, she says mopping can sometimes be an uncomfortable job.
“I’m not a tall person, so trying to mop is always just a horrible experience.”
But she found the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set easy to move around and able to go in different directions without feeling heavy or awkward.
And it wasn’t just the mop itself that won Katrina over. She says the bucket design solved one of her biggest mopping frustrations: accidentally tipping the bucket over.
With timber floors, getting too much water onto the floor is something she tries hard to avoid. “The amount of mop buckets I’ve tipped over and just gone everywhere,” she says.
That can turn a simple cleaning job into another mess to deal with, particularly when you’re suddenly scrambling for towels and a dry mop head.
But Katrina says the Vileda bucket feels much more stable because of its design.
And for someone who mops as often as she does, she says that has saved her time. “This thing has saved me so much time, I can’t get over it.”
The Only Mop You’ll Need
Katrina also admits that she’d previously convinced herself she needed a steam mop. She even bought one, only to discover that plugging it in every time she wanted to clean wasn’t exactly appealing.
“You have to plug it in like a vacuum. Like, that’s not fun, I don’t want to do that.”
After trying the Vileda, she says she’s no longer convinced she needs one.
“Why do you need a steam mop when you can get this one?”
For Katrina, the combination of being lightweight, easy to wring, simple to manoeuvre and able to get into those awkward corners has made mopping feel much less frustrating. And despite going into the trial with low expectations, she’s now very happy to recommend it.
“I’m not trying to sell you a product, but I’m just saying that I’m very impressed with it. It’s really good.”
Her final verdict?
“It’s been really, really good. Recommend!”
This Real Story was provided as part of a paid sponsorship opportunity. Katrina was chosen to share her story because she was sent out and tried the Vileda Easy Wring & Clean TURBO Mop & Bucket Set, and genuinely loved it! And Vileda is so confident they’ve made the best spin mop ever, they’re backing the new & improved Easy Wring & Clean TURBO with a 5 Year Guarantee.
This mop so good and the views all are positive so I just purchased one on milkrun through Woolworths and it come with 2 mop head refills. Can’t wait to use it.
Yes, I couldn’t agree more. The Vileda spin mop is by far my favourite mop for a good thorough clean at home. I even got the landlords to purchase one for the holiday house I clean to make cleaning a breeze and get the job done properly. I always grab a spare when they’re out for half price.
Ah, I received a ‘you’re a finalist’ email from MoM for this fantastic mop but didn’t receive anything beyond that. I was looking forward to giving this a try to compare the three existing options I have but alas. Looks good, fingers crossed I can try it in the near future!
Omg! Yes! With 4 dogs and 4 teens AND the guests they bring home with them LOL our timber floors and tiles don’t stand a chance! I would love to see them add some wheels to the bottom of the bucket so that you don’t have to carry the bucket around with you.
This sounds like an excellent mop that makes cleaning so easy! I love a product that not only is as effective as advertised but makes a job less grueling. I gotta say though, a steam mop that plugs in sounds like an awful idea. I have a tineco floor mop, which is cordless and charges at a base, and it’s incredible on my white tiles.
