Philips Sonicare 28 Day Money Back Guarantee

Sonicare wishes for you to be satisfied with its products and as such offers a 28 day money back guarantee.

This means you can buy an electric toothbrush with the knowledge that if you don’t get on with it after a couple of weeks testing you can return it and get a refund.

Whilst this gives you the flexibility to return it, it’s worth pointing out that an electric toothbrush has a significant impact on the planet compared to a manual toothbrush.

Returning a product after using it increases that impact, so it’s not a decision that should be taken lightly.

Important points from the money back guarantee

The full claims process and associated conditions are explained below, but I feel it necessary to highlight a few very important pieces of information.

• You actually get less than 28 days to test the product
  • The unwanted product must be physically with Sonicare’s return centre within 28 days, so you need to allow time for posting the product back.  In reality you probably have 21 days (3 weeks) to test the product.
• The 28 days runs from date of purchase
  • This means if you buy a Sonicare toothbrush on the 1st of the month, it has to be returned to them by the 28th of the month.
• This does not apply to faulty products
  • If the product is faulty, broken or has been damaged, you will need to speak to the retailer from which you bought it or make use of the Sonicare warranty programme.
• You must complete the money back form
  • This is the form you need to complete.
• You must induce the original receipt
  • Photocopies are not acceptable.
• The original packaging must be returned
• You will receive the money back in the form of a cheque

It is nice to see that there is a freepost address, saving you the cost of posting it.

All details are subject to change so please refer to Sonicares money back guarantee page for the latest information.

If you do decide to claim, please let us (in addition to Sonicare) know why, so we can learn the likes and dislikes of people like yourself and to educate us, so that better recommendations can be made.

FAQ

How long can I test the brush for?

The product must be returned within 28 days, so in reality you have about 21 days (3 weeks) from date of purchase, allowing a week to return the product to Philips.

What do I need to return?

You need to return the product you bought.  To qualify, this must be an oral healtcare product with a model number starting HX.  Although not explicitly stated in the terms and conditions, the claim form does suggest that you need to return it in the original box/packaging to qualify, so do not throw any packaging away.  You must include the original receipt you got when the product was purchased, along with the completed claims form.
