You ppl that use the Sonicare toothbrushes...

[Cynicism]

Water gets into the middle part and all this black coloring shows...I was told that the magnets inside the brush's motors are being liquified? Anyone have this problem or know a solution as things are starting to blacken...

 

[Cynicism]

Any advice?

I've had mine for a year and haven't seen this.

Middle part of the brush head or the unit the brush head attaches onto?

Always detach the head if you wash it and don't screw it tight.

I remember one time when I open it, some foul brown liquid ooze out and I almost choaked from the disgusting odor. Hmmm...

I always take the head off and dry the entire head and base assembly after brushing.

only been using one about a month, haven't had a problem...magnets don't just "liquify"

 

[Shelly21]

Yea, it's just water that accidently gets in there and left for ages.....

I'm using the Braun Electric toothbush right now, is the soniccare that much better than the braun?

all that vibration is exciting the bacteria to multiply at an exponential rate!

The brown ooze is just the magnet rusting. The magnet rusts very easily so try to avoid getting it wet.

right, I guess its the magnet rusting...What's the best way to take care of this? Send it in via warranty or is there cleaning possible? that black/brown stuff is getting everywhere...

yea goop yets into the head part, it corrodes and does whatever, and then is shaken loose again. taking apart the handle portion of electric toothbrushes is nasty. all sortsa cr@p is in there.

my toothbrush is 100% plastic. It cost $2. It works fine. It doesn't rust.
