They aren&#8217;t made well. The bristles fall out after just a few times brushing, and the brush head itself doesn&#8217;t fit well. This essentially means that the vibrational brushing power is far weaker than the non-generic tooth sonicare tooth brush head. Paz tried to copy the toothbrush head with their generic one, but they did a very poor job, and I&#8217;m very disappointed. I don&#8217;t recommend it at all. I guess I&#8217;m going to be sticking with the official Philips Sonicare toothbrush heads until some company makes a perfect replica.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=cla0d-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=B0086VI9TE\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>How to get sonicare toothbrush heads for cheap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Costco occasionally has discounts for sonicare toothbrush heads with 6 brush heads for $30.
