Everything works fine; a great unit. However, my being in the manufacturing of batteries will help you readers out!
First of all, DO NOT leave the unit on the charger when not in use! The biggest enemy of the lithium ion battery is heat! When it is charged all the way it is at it's hottest level. The proper way for long battery life is to fully charge the unit, then keep it off the charger and keep using it until the unit runs almost all the way down ( 10-15% left! ). It will last longest in a cooler setting ( temperature ). The cooler the better. I know bathrooms aren't very cool, so if possible, keep it in a cooler area. Also, never let the battery run all the way down, as this could damage the composition of the battery!
If you have an older model with a nickel type battery (nicad), charge it all the way and always drain it completely before charging as these type batteries have a memory and will last longer and have a better capacity using them in this manner. Keeping these type batteries on the charger all the time is really insane, because of the memory properties.
Cell phones and auto gps units use lithium ion, so follow the method for this type battery. REMEMBER, DON'T keep the battery at a full charge all the time. They last longest with frequent use, charging full, then going down to about 10-15% , before charging again! If you ever store the unit, charge it to about 40% or so. This is the best condition for storing. Do not store fully charged. Also, batteries that are discharged for a lengthy period of time will enter a deep discharge cycle and permanent damage could occur! And the charging capacity will deminish! Store in a cool dry place if you aren't using it.
Well, that's about it. Thank you for reading!
Jim.

I own a 6930 model and I could see that the 6972 looks like it's the same brush main unit and same brush head used, but I must say that after more than 5 years of using Philips electric (battery) toothbrushes, the 6930 DOES not hold up to being durable and gets wobbly on the brush head mount after only a few months of use. Philips was nice enough to have it replaced (in-warranty) in the 8 months I owned it, but now that the warranty ran out... Typically 3 years is what they say that the toothbrush reaches the end of its product life, but the older model I owned, by Philips as well, lasted me 5 years and that made me real happy. That one finally was beyond being chargeable and I retired it. Suffice to say, Philips SHOULD IMPROVE the design of this current line of toothbrushes.

What a great way to start your morning! Clean teeth as if you just returned from the dentist, and stimulates good gums. Already after only a few days use, my teeth were whiter, and gums were healthier too.For me, it took a little getting used to at first. The vibration and I think it's a little bit noisy (but maybe that's just because it's in my mouth!) The timer is a great feature to insure you're brushing right, but it also made for messy brushing. I didn't realize that I wasn't brushing long enough previously, so it's worth the trade off. I also like the Sanitizer and optional modes. Recommend the compact brush head for smaller mouths.

You get what you pay for. I like this product so much that I had to write a review. Use it, there is a difference. I wish there was a mail in rebate, but I bought it anyways. Use it with a water pick for best results.

I am a hot and iced tea drinker, I have always fought staining on my teeth. This toothbrush with the aquafresh iso-active toothpaste is the first time I have found something truly effective on the stain. I use the gum care setting on the toothbrush twice a day. Easy to use. Well made. Easy to clean.

My dentist recommmended an electric toothbrush for me. This Sonicare toothbrush removed all the dark coloring on my teeth the first time I used it. It is quiet, easy to use, and extremely effective. Will order another one for my husband.

This toothbrush was recommended by my dental hygenist a couple of weeks ago when I was having difficulty with plaque build up. I love using it everyday. My teeth are already whiter and they never felt so clean. I've already bought another brush for my husand. He can't wait to try it.
