cheap extra soniccare toothbrush?

[ingenue007]

For everyone that has a sonnicare toothbrush and wants an extra handpiece or need an extra head, perhaps this is a good deal? 14.95 +SH.

It is a 30 day tester with enough power to last for 30 days use. Comes with the handpiece, head, and a coupon for 10 dollars off. Has anyone received this? The main question is if it will recharge or not? If so it would be a hot deal.

good find, too bad the batter can't be replaced

 

[Roy2001]

This is very good deal. Buy it, use the $10 off coupon, keep the head for $5. How about shipping?

i used a braun for 3 years.
get this its awesome
even whitening my teeth in only a week
i sound like a salesman, but its great

 

[dshodson]

how much are the brush heads usually
thats what u are really getting is an extra head
too bad the hand piece isnt rechargeable

 

[ingenue007]

The head sells for 14.95 at walmart.com. This would be a good deal for those that don't have one yet. Buy the trial. Use it as an extra head, use the coupon to get the non-trial model.

BTW, I just got the Professional model yesterday (free. hehehe perks of studying dentistry). A lot better than my old Teledyne model.

This deal gets a little colder with the $4.95 shipping charges.

Since I already own a sonicare, I'm going to fill out this questionaire instead and get $24.95 worth of coupons. questionaire.


edit: on one page it says there's $15 worth or coupons, on another, it says there's $24.95 worth of coupons. whatever.

I think the heads are either $14.95 or $19.95 for a two-pack at Costco.

My family uses the SonicCare and love it. We bought one from Costco, but later found out that our dentist sold them as well. I don't remember the price, but I do remember that it was A LOT cheaper than CostCo.. So, check with your dentist...

A couple of people have been asking me what the lot and model# on my sonicare box was, so I'll just post it here:

lot code #200046
model #QP-3

hope this helps

..and Now how to figure out a way to R&R the battery without destroying the handle then buy more heads at Costco ....

Up in the Seattle area they're $17.95 for two "Compact" (normal sized) or two "Ultra-Compact" heads at Costco

$1.0o to the first to hack the trial brush!

Helped me out, thats for sure... THANKS!

 

[thereds]

so how much does a brand new set cost?

 

[dimwit]

Isn't this the same one Startsampling.com gave out about a year or so ago? I think someone took it apart and put a couple of AAs in and it worked.

 

[boodah]

for those who already have it, this isn't that great a deal with the costco bargains out there for replacement heads. because, as it says on the page:



<< A certificate good for $10 off on the purchase of any future Sonicare model. >>



so you don't get the replacement head for $4.95+shipping. at least the way i'm understanding this, you can't use the rebate for replacement heads.

hope someone tells me otherwise though.

I "hacked" the Sonic Trial brush. With a corded AC/DC adaptor that is. It involves using a Dremel (lucky you) or like me, a hacksaw and cutting all around (not through) the handle at the seam. The batteries are potted into 1/2 of the handle with epoxy, forget about replacing them. I cut the leads going to the batteries and drilled/filed a hole in both halves of the base to allow the adaptor cord to go thru and soldered the wires to the leads for power. Then, the momentary off/on switch makes you have to hold the switch all the time,... you can't do it! So... take off the silicone cover on the switch, and look and see where the traces are close and scrape off the green protectant down to the metal and solder the two traces with a bridge of solder or a strand of wire. Then, go and test fit it back together and try it. The off/on switch is now plug/unplug the adaptor in the wall. I then held the two sides together with tape and epoxied the two halves together, don't forget the threads and inside where the brush assembly goes to make it drool proof and rinse-able. Let's see... 2-3 hours work (much less with a dremel) for a $1.0o. But.. I have a working corded Sonic instead of a rechargeable one that was +/- 70 bucks new last time I looked. BTW, (as if anyone else would do this, I had a variable voltage adaptor and it runs best at 4.5v. You might substitute the adaptor with a RShack 2 battery holder attached to the cord and rechargeable batteries)

Wow... the dedication used to 'hack' a toothbrush...

Flatbroke, Great job.

I'm going to "hack" it

 

[V00DOO]

I brought the sonic care at Costco for $90 - $10 rebate. It came with 2 sonic care toothbrush units and 2 brush heads.

 

[Flatbroke]

Ok, I tried 2 then 3 alkaline rechargeable batteries in a corded separate holder, and it's not reliable for me. Starts sometimes, but mostly not. The AC/DC charger I use says 300ma.
