  • Extra special sparkle

    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.

  • Using for at least 1 year now!

    Still using and have used for at least 1 year now and still loving it every day. This Toothbrush has been awesome for my husband and I and we take it every where we go. Whether we are at home or away for the weekend it comes with us!

    I am very impressed about how clean my teeth are and it never ceases to amaze me with the quality it brings. Definitely my number one toothbrush and I know so many more that they would say that its their number one toothbrush as well!

  • Still using it!

    Still using the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ and still loving it! Our dentist says that the electronic toothbrushes are way better that the manual ones and is really happy that my husband and I are using them. So far I have recommended the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ to about 8 people and about 5 of the 8 have bought this particular toothbrush and is loving the results. They say its well worth the money!

  • End Result!

    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 feel in love!

    I never thought I'd feel this way about a tooth brush, I feel in love. As sad as that sounds I really like this toothbrush, I really gives my gums and teeth a good work out and leaves them feeling fresh, clean and more healthier. You can now see the difference in what it has done to my teeth and gums, a better outcome!

  • Birthday present!

    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.

  • Amazing Charge Life

    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 .

  • What else can I say?

    What else can I say? I love this toothbrush. I love the choice in cleaning modes, I love the fact that it has 2 interchangeable heads (one small, one large), I love the UV Sanitiser, I love how it makes my mouth look and feel. I just love this toothbrush!

  • Still loving it!

    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.

  • Great in some ways... not so great in others

    So, in summary my teeth feel cleaner and it's easy and comfortable to use. But I would still prefer firmer bristles (my own personal taste). I still revert to my old faithful every now again if I can't be bothered switching the heads over from my wife's brush. Maybe she should buy me one of my own!

  • No going back to manual for me!

    I'm sold. My manual toothbrush will be put to new uses cleaning small hard to reach areas of the shower or basin. I always wondered what the hype was about an electric toothbrush, until I tried one. My teeth feel so much cleaner, and cleaning my teeth is actually enjoyable now - no longer a chore! The small head means I'm really get right into every nook and cranny and I feel like I am really taking care of my teeth now. Thanks so much for the opportunity to review this great product.

  • The old dog going back to old tricks?

    My husband isn't yet completely sold on the toothbrush, which may be one part laziness and 2 parts personal preference. As we are sharing the brush, unless change the head to his one for him, he reverts to using his old faithful super firm toothbrush. He did say that if I bought him his own which he didn't have to keep swapping the heads over then he would probably stick to using it. He also still says that he doesn't feel the head bristles are firm enough for him to feel like he is getting a great clean.

  • The love affair continues

    starting week 3 of the review and I'm fully converted to the FlexCare+. I won't be returning to my old faithful manual toothbrush. A visit to the dentist last week confirmed that the brush is suiting my needs perfectly and the small head really helping me reach the troublesome back teeth and keep them clean, delaying the inevitable decay!! I don't notice the strange "vibration" any more - it's completely comfortable and I love my new toothbrush to bits!

  • A great product, but takes some getting used to...

    (from last week which wouldn't post properly)... my husband has been continuing to use the FlexCare+ toothbrush, however feels that the brush itself isn't firm enough for his personal liking. His regular toothbrush was always a firm one and he felt that gave his teeth the best clean - even though his teeth feel clean with the FlexCare+, he isn't as yet convinced that it will replace his old favourite firm manual toothbrush.

  • It's been over a week now and I'm not used to the "strange vibrating sensation". I actually look forward to cleaning my teeth, and can feel how clean they are after brushing. The small head is fantastic for reaching my back teeth. Each day I change the setting just to try something different - I can't say I have a favourite - they all seem to feel like a vast improvement on a manual toothbrush! I'm a convert and have already researched where to buy replacement heads from. I can see a lifelong friendship with my Flexcare+

  • A male's perspective

    My partner used the Flexcare+ today for the first time, and he said it is a really strange sensation. He persisted with it, and it was still a really strange sensation. But he isn't stopping there and will be trying again tomorrow. His teeth definitely feel cleaner, but it's just a new feeling that was unexpected. And he commented that it sounds a bit like a dentists drill !!!

  • Wow! I can't stop running my tongue along my nice clean teeth!

    Today was my first ever experience with an electric toothbrush. The sensation at first was a little offputting, and I think I have ticklish teeth. But after getting used to the sensation it was very addictive! I had a play with all the options and found one which was most comfortable for my mouth. My teeth do genuinely feel cleaner than what I could achieve with a manual toothbrush. I also like the convenience of the docking station to make sure it's always charged and ready to go. So totally impressed with the toothbrush after a single use, and looking forward to cleaning my teeth again! I haven't yet tried out the sanitising function, but the theory of it sounds awesome!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • This is so helpful thank you so much for this entry! It was very helpful since I think we all need a side hustle in todays economy. Especially women who do parenting at the same time while working full-time, I appreciate you all and you are doing an amazing job!

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
