 Simply The Best December 12, 2008
Sonicare E series units are quite simply the best toothbrushes on the market.I purchased a Sonicare Elite toothbrush years ago. Great product.Sonicare Essence 5300 works exactly the same as the Elite, but with fewer bells & whistles is considerably cheaper.My dentist tells me that this toothbrush is the finest home dental care product ever made.I guess that about says it all!
very good purchase December 10, 2008
this toothbrush is awesome. i looked around at the other sonicare toothbrushes, and all the more expensive ones offer is like digital screens and fancy extras. but they are all the same technology.
Still going strong after 10 years December 5, 2008
My husband and I got our first Sonicare over 10 years ago and it is still going strong. We've always kept our brushes in the charger plugged in and have never had a problem. On vacations we take it with us and it has always worked fine.
I feel we certainly have had our money's worth. We've used the it so much that the Sonicare name has worn off the unit. I know one of these days it will bite the dust but we will definitely buy another, probably this model. I feel the Sonicare does an excellent job of cleaning the teeth & gums. Our oral health has much improved since those years of using a regular toothbrush. We highly recommend the Sonicare.

 As Good As It Gets, I Guess. December 4, 2008
I've never had much experience with electric toothbrushes, but my two years with this model has been trouble-free so far. It charges easily and quickly and takes over a week to lose its power. That's with me AND my girlfriend brushing morning and night for two minutes at a time. Not bad, not bad at all. When we go on vacation, we don't even take the charger.
It's also handy that the attachments come color-coded. That way we don't use each other's brush. An easy to overlook bit of convenience, I must say. Thanks for that, Sonicare.
As long as you keep the bases nice and clean instead of cruddy, you probably won't have much to complain about with this item. I just can't see myself giving it 5 stars without ever having any other electric brush to compare it to.
Sonicare addict December 4, 2008
I first received a Sonicare toothbrush several years ago. It was a gift from a dental hygienist friend, and it was the Sonicare Elite e7300. I used the brush every day for about five years until it finally died, due to the button which turns it on finally wearing out completely.
I have nothing but praise for the Elite e7300, but I now use the Essence 5300. I have been using the Essence 5300 for about two months and I have not noticed any differences in quality or effectiveness between the two brushes. The Elite e7300 had additional features such as a LED battery indicator and a 30 second interval on beeps (which helps you to distribute time spent brushing among the four sections of your teeth), but while those features are useful they aren't something that I even really care about or miss having.
Anyhow, the Sonicare toothbrushes clean incredibly well. I cannot go back to regular toothbrushes now. The difference is like night and day. The Sonicare brushes clean extremely thoroughly, if used properly, and my teeth feel as though they have been polished after brushing. I had a little bit of plaque buildup before using the Sonicare, but after about two weeks of using the brush regularly the plaque buildup eroded, and after about a month my teeth were noticeably whiter.
Since using the Sonicare brushes I have not had a single cavity or any periodontal problems. The first time I went to the dentist after getting my Sonicare it almost felt like I wasted money on my appointment, because the hygienist barely had anything to clean. I used to go to the dentist every six months, but I feel the brushes are so effective at cleaning that I now go to the dentist every year and a half to two years. The brush has paid for itself by keeping me free from periodontal problems and allowing me to stretch out the time between teeth cleanings.
No, I am not a shill. The brush really is that good.
