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.

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!

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 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!

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 .

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!

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.

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.

I’ve been through the different settings on the toothbrush, and the sensitive and massage settings are genuinely useful, producing a different pattern of vibration. They aren’t just different lengths on the timer. However, the cleaning modes seem to be overly complicated for my liking.
I’m also now getting used to the jarring from the back of the toothbrush head, and I’m not finding this as painful / irritating any more. I went back to my old electric toothbrush for one day, and although this is a comparison to an admittedly fairly worn brush head, I definitely didn’t feel like my teeth were as clean after brushing with that one as they are after I brush with this toothbrush.
However, I’m highly disappointed to see that the wear indicator on the head is already half worn, after only two weeks. Looking at the prices of replacement heads, this looks like not only a very expensive toothbrush to buy, but also an expensive one to run.
Other than the wear indicator, the head doesn’t look in bad condition, so I’m wondering if the UV steriliser is affecting the bristles. I might have to try not using it for a bit and see if the wear continues at the same rate.

So, I’ve been using the Sonicare FlexCare+ for almost 2 weeks now, and I am STILL loving it! The issue that I had regarding the sensitivity of my gums has gone now, as I suspected it would. I LOVE the Refresh setting, and the Gum Care setting is awesome if you want to have that little bit extra time to concentrate on your gums or on the tops of your teeth.
I haven’t used the Massage setting yet, and I must admit that the Sensitive setting is not my cup of tea (it vibrates at a slower rate, and has been the only time I disliked what it was doing), but apart from that, it’s brilliant!
My teeth look whiter and have less plaque than before, and my mouth feels like I’ve had my teeth professionally cleaned! The travel kit is fantastic, as I went away last weekend and utilised it. I must admit as well, that I had a couple of days where I wasn’t cleaning my teeth, as I was very ill. Even after a day and a half without brushing, my mouth still felt cleaner than if I’d missed a single brushing using a manual brush.
All in all, I’m loving this toothbrush, and as I have seen it on special in The Shaver Shop, I would suggest you go out and get one yourself!

I already have an electric toothbrush, I’m used to it, and I like it. It’s of the basic rotating head variety – cheap and fairly reliable. I can get a new charger, handle or brushes at any supermarket. Last time I checked, I could buy 8 complete kits for the RRP of the one we are testing out. So I’m approaching this with more than a little skepticism. Just what can be added to a toothbrush to justify an order of magnitude price hike?
My first experience with the new toothbrush was without reading the manual. (I mean, it’s a toothbrush, how hard can this be?)
First impressions: It makes a high pitched whine when on, rather than the lower pitch more mechanical noise of my other toothbrush.
I can’t hold the brush vertical and do the faces of individual teeth. With the big head, it’s totally impractical. Even with the smaller head, it’s still really intended to be used horizontally, not vertically. Vertical is no problem on the circular head on my other brush.
If the back of the head touches any other teeth, which it inevitably does several times per brushing session, that’s really not a nice feeling – a lot of high frequency vibration straight into whichever tooth it was that got bumped.
The brush handle has a timer in it. This is good for the basic reason that you can’t put it down and have it run until the battery is flat, but the designers have tried to be smart. Possibly too smart. This timer is apparently set up so it is the right length of time for you to brush your teeth, and it’s broken down into four equal length periods, separated by a faster pulse. The pulse is supposed to be a reminder to change from inside to outside, or top to bottom.
Which means … they’ve forgotten to allow time to brush the biting surfaces. I’m sorry guys, but I like to brush my teeth on all three accessible sides, not just on two of them.
Now, it does have selectable programs, and I will admit that I’ve not yet looked at them in any detail, so I’m not sure if this is a solvable problem. But on the default setting, it gives you the disconcerting feeling that the designer hasn’t really seen more than a front-on picture of teeth before. I’m just ignoring the timer and brushing my teeth how I want to at the moment.
The HF vibration design looks like it’d be more resilient to the standard weakness of the rotation brush design – which is water getting inside the head and running down into the brush handle. I’ve learned how to avoid that being a problem with the rotating one, but it’s good to see this one shouldn’t suffer from it.
The charge indicator shows a connection has been made, as well as charge state. This is a nice touch – should avoid any doubt as to whether the handle has seated properly on the charger. The base also allows the handle to sit at any rotation.
The brush holder is apparently doing some kind of sterilisation thing via UV. I was instructed to put the head back in the storage box and push the button. I’m not sold on the benefits of this – as far as I’m concerned, it’s a solution in search of a problem.
On the plus side, my teeth felt like they’d had a respectable clean, once they’d settled down from the mauling of the backside of the head. I’d say it’s marginally better than my other toothbrush – I have to concentrate a little more carefully with that to get the same results. Unfortunately, at 8 times the price, marginally better cleaning with several annoying new issues doesn’t cut it.
My opinion may change in future – I’ve only had a couple of days with it so far. But if we’d paid full RRP for it, I would be spectacularly unhappy at this point in time.

I received my FlexCare+ yesterday, and have now used it twice, once last night before bed, and once this morning. Previously, I have been using a manual toothbrush, and thought that I was doing a good job. However, the difference in my mouth after only 2 uses is incredible! My mouth (teeth, gums, tongue and cheeks) all feel cleaner, and there is a noticeable difference in how my teeth *actually* look. If this is only after 2 uses, I can only imagine what my mouth will look and feel like after the month’s trial is over!
We have used the UV Sanitiser as well, and will use it every night to try and keep the brush heads clean. I also think that the travel case and travel charger are brilliant ideas, and will be utilising them this weekend when I go away. This product has made me excited about cleaning my teeth every day!
The only ‘negative’ I have so far isn’t really a negative – my mouth is unused to being brushed with an electric toothbrush, so my gums and palate tickle and tingle when I use it. However, I’m sure that after persistent use, this feeling will go away.

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’
For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.
Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.
A rosé with summer written all over it
Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.
It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.
“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”
A summer staple … on the lighter side
“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”
“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”
If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.
A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)
For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.
Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.
“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”
A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for
“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”
“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”
Your lower-alcohol go-to
The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.
The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.
Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!
Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.
Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite
I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.
I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.
This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.
It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.
The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!
This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
