Seems To Work As Well As OEM But Fits Tighter On Shaft Of Brush Handle
Review of Pearlicare Replacement Brush Heads (8 Pack) - Compatible With Phillips Sonicare Gum Health Electric Toothbrush<br /><br />The brushes are obviously in a different pattern and possibly of different materials than OEM but I have no idea if this matters so I obviously cannot determine if the performance is the same, better or worse than OEM.  My teeth feel the same with these as when using OEM.<br /><br />In response to an answered question I am using one right now with a newer model that is not listed in terms of compatibility (the ExpertClean 7500 or HX9690).  One difference seems to be that OEM brush heads have a microchip that is read by the toothbrush handle to determine suggested mode and to inform the user that the brush head should be replaced.  To me, this really doesn’t matter and not included the microchip undoubtedly results in a lower cost.<br /><br />I did find that these brush heads fit a little too tight onto the shaft from the toothbrush handle.  For cleaning and drying I like to remove the brush head each time and these take a bit more effort to remove.  Since there is not any ribbing or roughing on the brush head I invariably end up using the brushes to help brace the hand when removing the brush head.  I hope that the metal in the brush head is softer than that in the shaft of the handle to preclude wearing out the big ticket item.<br /><br />I would note that accounting for time zone differences (and dateline) the seller responded very quickly to my question.
