Review

If you want the best electric toothbrush available, you'll probably want the Sonicare FlexCare RS9300.  Not only is this a great model at enhancing dental health, it's also the most fully loaded electric toothbrush manufactured by any company.  Of course, it's no surprise that if you want the best, you're going to need to pay quite a bit more for it.

While there are tons of extras, the most important part about this electric toothbrush is that it provides great dental health.  The FlexCare RS9300 utilizes the new ProResults brush head to work in a broad sweeping motion, and the contour fit bristles maximize tooth coverage.  Add to that the sonic pulse technology found in all Sonicare electric toothbrushes, and you have one powerful plaque-killing machine.  It's also easier to reach all parts of your teeth with 30% smaller and 80% reduction in vibration when compared to the Sonicare Elite model.

It's great to have a powerful electric toothbrush, but the loads of extras are what really make this model stand apart from others.  It has all the standard features, like a two-minute timer and travel case, but it also has two different sized brush heads, travel caps, and a special compact charge base, just to name a few. 

Also, the FlexCare RS9300 has several different modes.  This includes two additional "routines" if you don't want the usual two-minute one.  The first is the one-minute GoCare routine intended for extra brush sessions.  The other is the three-minute MaxCare routine, for a heavy duty cleaning.  There are also three levels of power in this electric toothbrush.  The main "clean" mode is great for typical brushing.  If you have sensitive teeth, there is a special "sensitive" mode.  And finally, the "massage" mode stimulates gums with a pulsing motion.

In addition to all this, this electric toothbrush model comes with a UV sanitizer.  If you don't like the thought of your brush gathering bacteria between uses, you'll like this.  All you have to do is put the brush head it the included sanitizing unit and push a button.  A quick blast of ultraviolet light zaps any bacteria, and eliminates up to 99% of them.  This may sound dangerous to some people, but it is completely harmless for humans, and is even used in hospitals.
