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.
Comments about Philips Sonicare FlexCare Plus Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush HX6972/10, 1 ea:
Had an earlier version of the Sonicare that lasted almost 20 years before it died. So bought the Flex Plus with UV less than 18 months ago. Died yesterday midway through brushing my teeth. WHEN it worked, it did an excellent job of cleaning my teeth and keeping my dental hygienist happy. Didn't replace flossing, but was good at cleaning my teeth and keeping the gums in good shape. Since it only lasted a few months, it's way too pricey and I won't buy another.

Loved this brush. Easy to use, reaches hard places and I was completely satisfied until 4 months after purchase, it broke. The stem on the inside of brush holder became dislodged and I could not use it again.
Comments about Philips Sonicare FlexCare Plus Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush HX6972/10, 1 ea:
New Sonicare is far more compact, easier to travel and much easier to keep clean. Redesigned handle is much easier to use. I like the idea of the UV sanitizer. I hope it works as well as advertised. So far all elements of the redesigned are welcomed improvements.

MY SISTER HAD THE BEGINNING OF GUM DISEASE, USED THIS PRODUCT TWICE A DAY AND DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO THE DENTIST BECAUSE THE INFECTION TOTALLY CLEARED UP!
Comments about Philips Sonicare FlexCare Plus Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush HX6972/10, 1 ea:
As a owner of the older model rechargeable toothbrush from Sonicare, I found this one much easier to use and easier to clean. Also, this model is slim and the battery last much longer so I found it good for travel. However, mine broke maybe ~6 month I bought it because the connector was rusted. I think this might be prevented if I removed the brushhead every time I finished brushing my teeth. But, I am not sure. Soon after that, the UV sanitizer broke, too.
