  • 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.

  • I'm a convert!

    When my wife gave me this toothbrush to use 4 weeks ago and told me what the benefits of it were I laughed a scoffed and said a toothbrush is a toothbrush! I stand corrected though as my teeth haven't looked this good in I don't know how long. I went away for work for a few days last week and obviously couldn't take the toothbrush with me so used my old battery operated manual toothbrush and it just wasn't the same.

    However I think they need a brush head in between the small and large and to make the whole thing completely waterproof so that you can brush your teeth in the shower.

    I have no idea how much it costs but I have recommended it to people and they have come back and laughed at me for having such an expensive toothbrush! I guess I am just lucky that we were able to review such a great product. Thanks MOM.

  • does as it says it will!

    Having used the sonic care plus toothbrush for the past month I would say that it is a great toothbrush. It has left my mouth feeling clean and has removed stains that my normal manual toothbrush never has. There are many options to choose from to find a setting suitable to your needs instead of just a normal on and off like the cheaper electric toothbrushes. However it is very expensive for a toothbrush but also much cheaper than a trip to the dentist! Personally I would never spend that much on toothbrush and having reviewed it I would recommend it to other people so long as the price wasn't an issue. All in all I love it and will continue to use it. Thanks MOM for the opportunity to review this amazing product.

  • cleans teeth

    after using this toothbrush for 3 weeks it has helped to remove more stains than my battery operated manual toothbrush ever has. I still think the large brush head is slightly too big but I borrowed my wifes brush head (the small one) and that was much too small for my mouth. They need a brush head in between sizes or they need to make the big one just slightly shorter in length.

  • great toothbrush

    after using the flexcare toothbrush for the past three weeks my teeth are definitely cleaner and less stained than they were when I was brushing with my manual toothbrush. The battery life is also amazing as I have not needed to charge again after its initial charge. Still getting used to the slower action needed to brush with an electric toothbrush compared to a manual toothbrush, especially when trying to brush my teeth while trying to get the kids ready at the same time!

    ok ok I admit I am liking this toothbrush more this week. I am starting to get used to the HUGE brush head and definitely feel my mouth is cleaner! both my wife and I agree that the stains on our teeth are starting to go and that is fabulous news as we all hate a trip to the dentist!

  • getting better

    have been using the flex care for 2 weeks now and the first week I found it incredibly tickly to use!! I have gotten much more used to it and find it much easier to use without laughing my head off. I tried a few of the different modes this week and found the sensitive mode to be not much different than the general cleaning mode. I also think and so does my partner that my teeth are looking cleaner and the stains are starting to dissipate.

  • looks good

    My wife gave me this toothbrush to use last week. I have a battery operated manual toothbrush which i admit i have probably had in use for too long. my first gripe is that I can't use it in the shower as the handle is not waterproof. The big brush head is BIG. I have a man sized mouth but gee this is a big brush head. The sound the brush makes is like going to the dentist which is a bit off putting but with time i guess i will become conditioned to it. Haven't used the sanitizer and i think it is a bit of a gimmick but i guess for germ-a-phobes it will give them piece of mind.

  • It is so tickly!

    After using my new FlexCare+ toothbrush for a week I must say it is something that has a taken a bit of getting used to. I am a very ticklish person and this made brushing my teeth a hilarious episode. However I have gotten used to it and find it not as tickly as first. I was shocked at how quickly the 2 minutes went by, I must have been brushing with my manual toothbrush for much longer than 2 minutes. I have never used an electric toothbrush before but found it made my toothpaste fall off the brush before I could get it in my mouth which was very annoying if I was brushing my teeth after I got dressed in the mornings.

  • 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

    Reply

  • 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.
