It's a good toothbrush, but the only whitening benefit you get from this is from running it an extra 30 seconds. This is achieved with a different setting that requires one to push the on switch 3 times to set it to "whitening". Since the whole system is called "Healthy White", it seems that it would make more sense for this to be the default setting. Overall this doesn't seem any better than the basic Sonicare, but it's more expensive. I would just stick with the basic one if I had it to do over again.
