Powered with next-generation sonic technology, the two-speed Elite 7500 cleans teeth with dentist precision. A tapered brush head with extra-soft, contour-fit bristles sits atop a slim, angled neck--improving reach to hard-to-brush areas. Two speeds let the user choose between high for maximum brushing power, and low for a more gentle touch on gums, tongue, and sensitive spots. The 7500 features the Smartimer, which shuts the brush off automatically after two minutes, as well as the Quadpacer interval timer, which beeps every 30 seconds, allotting each quadrant of the mouth equal brushing time. The 7500 includes one Elite series brush head, a charger base with deluxe recharge gauge, a deluxe travel case, and a luxury brush holder. A two-year warranty covers the charger and ergonomically designed Elite handle against defects. --Ann Bieri ... Read more

Feels like a professional cleaning
I was a Braun electric brush user for about five years when I tried the Sonicare. It was a gift, and I was skeptical. In fact, I had tried a friend's non-Elite Sonicare in the past and did not like it. But this brush is far superior than anything I have ever used before. Even after two brushings, my teeth felt as good as after a professional cleaning. Now, after using this brush for six months, my hygienist tells me my gum measurements are down from 4.5mm to 3mm -- a big improvement! This brush is expensive, but it's definitely worth the money.

The quad timer is a great feature and keeps you brushing for the full two minutes. The one problem with this brush is that it tickles your gums like crazy when you first start using it. It comes with a starter mode to ramp up the brush speed over the first 15 brushings. I still had a slightly hard time starting up with it, though.

Best Electronic Toothbrush
Take cae of your teeth and gums with this elecronic toothbrush.The new design with the angled head makes brushing your teeth easier.Also, the new smaller brush design is better.After using this for a few months, your dentist and/or periodontist will be able to tell the difference.When the "pockets" in your gums around the teeth are measured, you will be amazed at the improvement.Highly recommended, and worth every penny.

Cloddish replacements
Be careful because you will waste time and money ordering replacement heads.You won't be able to tell what kind of toothbrush you have, because Philips doesn't indicate it on the toothbrush, so you have to guess when you reorder.Philips wins on this, but you lose.

Lasts about a year, then croaks.
I bought this EXPENSIVE toothbrush and the wife and I used it for just over a year (past the warranty) and we enjoyed it. I think it did a good job. Then it died...

Well, that must have just been a fluke unit. So I bought another one. After about one year, it died...

What the?

I see that most of the reviews here are glowing. I liken it to those who bought Jaguars before the quality improved and claimed they loved their cars despite how poorly made they were. They were just soooo expensive, who wanted to admit they weren't worth the money?

Sonicare products are junk. Face it, they're only designed to do one thing: brush teeth. They have very little mechanical to them, yet they go bust after roughly one year's use.

I am typing this on a Macintosh computer. It works for years. I drive a Ford Escape. It works for years. I grind coffee beans several times a day with a Krups. It works for years. I have cheap Japanese steak knives that I bought 30 years ago. They still cut meat and haven't come apart in the dishwasher. They still work.

But spend $100 bucks on a toothbrush that lasts just past the warranty? They got me twice. They won't get me again.

Currently using a Braun electric. Does just as good a job for farrrr less money.

Works wonders....
WOW!

Just picked one of these up the other day at Costco. I have been using a Crest Spinbrush for the last two years or so. Recently, Crest stopped shipping replacement heads for their Spinbrush series due to quality concerns. I went looking for a replacement.

All I can say about the Sonicare is that if you haven't tried one, you have no idea how awesome this thing is. It is completeley different than any kind of brushing you have ever done before. I was surprised at first that the instructions say not to scrub or push down any harder than a fingertip grip when brushing....but that's all it takes! Just place it on each tooth 1-2 seconds and you'll feel like you just had your teeth professionaly cleaned.

Yes, you can buy a $1 toothbrush and have clean teeth. But for those that care just a little more about their oral health it is well worth EVERY penny. You won't be disappointed. ... Read more

Once you go Sonicare, you don't go back!
I bit the bullet and bought this toothbrush a couple months ago because my dentist diagnosed me with periodontal disease after he found about 5 cavities, recessed gums, and 32 sites of bleeding along my gumline. Granted, I hadn't had a professional cleaning in over 2 years. I also have crowded teeth due to my wisdom teeth, which make it especially hard to clean in the back of my mouth. I decided to buy the Sonicare as an investment, after paying around $1,000 for all the fillings, cleanings, and root planing & scaling he had to do over the course of 2 months to treat my disease. Well, I think it worked because last week I went for a follow-up and the hygienist said that my teeth looked noticeably cleaner, AND my periodontal pockets had shrunken and the number of bleeding sites had reduced from 32 to 4!I can't attribute all of this to the Sonicare because I'm sure their treatment and my longer brushing sessions due to the Sonicare's timer helped a lot too, but I'm confident that at least part of the improvement was due to the Sonicare's superior cleaning.

I had the original Sonicare a few years ago, but it died on me. I'm glad I upgraded to this new one because it reaches the rear, hard-to-reach areas much easier than the last one, thanks to the slimmer head and angled brush.That's especially important for someone like me whose rear teeth are the most vulnerable to problems. The new model is also lighter, looks sleeker, and has a rubber grip (I love the tactile feel of those). The 7300 has a charge indicator, which frankly I don't feel is a big deal because I always return the brush to its charging unit after use anyway.

Using the Sonicare takes some getting used to for newbies because it may tickle and feel weird, but it has a ramp-up feature that gradually increases the speed during the first few uses. Once you get used to it though, it's nothing. I enjoy the invigorating feeling of it, and my mouth just feels so clean afterwards. The unit has a pacer that makes sure you spend 30 seconds on each of the 4 sections of your mouth, which is good because it forces you to brush correctly. However, it is annoying if you like to brush your tongue like I do, because then you have to turn it on for another few seconds to do that (you get used to it though)-I believe the higher model allows you to customize the timer to allow for additional brush time.The timer can be a little annoying when you're exhausted and just want to brush as fast as possible, but that's just me being lazy-I always feel a surge of guilt when I turn it off prematurely, which may be a good thing because my teeth and gums (and wallet) will probably thank me in the long run for brushing properly.

Another thing that takes getting used to is the amount of foam the brush generates due to its sonic action-I like to keep my mouth slightly open when I'm brushing so I can make sure I'm getting all the areas and am angling the brush correctly (they recommend keeping it at around a 30 degree angle to your tooth surface), so in the beginning I would drool toothpaste foam each time. I'm gotten better though, so there's usually just a little foam dribble now!

Not only does my mouth feel spotless after using the Sonicare, but my teeth have gotten noticeably whiter too-several people have commented on that.

I sometimes buy gadgets and get tired when their novelty wears off, but that hasn't happened with the Sonicare-I have used it virtually daily for the last couple of months and am hooked.I traveled once and left it at home, and I felt so caveman-like sticking that big blunt old-fashioned toothbrush in my mouth during that time.Not to mention that my mouth didn't feel as clean.

I have a set that came with extra heads, a head storage stand, and a deluxe travel case.Each head has a different colored band around the neck, which is great because you can share it with your partner and keep track of which head is whose.The case is a nice touch for traveling-I took mine without the charging base on a 4-day trip recently during which I shared it with a friend (i.e., 4 uses per day) and it lasted the whole trip and then some on a single charge.

Keeping the unit clean can be annoying because the well into which you screw on the head accumulates water which eventually starts to discolor and smell like mold/mildew. In order to minimize this, I take the head off after each use, shake the water out of the well, and allow the unit to air-out while it sits in the charger base-but the smell still happens, albeit more slowly. Therefore, every couple of weeks, I clean the well and my brush head with a bleach solution to disinfect and deodorize everything.I'm curious to see how long this unit lasts, because it seems that many people complain of Sonicares dying after a year.My original one lasted over a year, but I used it very infrequently (never got hooked on it). I hope the new one lasts a while, because it was expensive!

All in all, I highly recommend the Sonicare, especially for people with dental problems. Don't waste your money on the original ("Advanced") model because this one is so much better.

This toothbrush ROCKS!!!
I bought this toothbrush based on the other good reviews and it was worth it!!I can't go into detail in design because for me it doesn't matter.I have owned electric toothbrushes, but they were about 30 bucks or so.I got the 7300 because of the price - much less than the 7500.

It has been a wonderful experience.I have been using it for about 2 months and my dentist is amazed.I had periodontal disease (?)My gums were a wretched horror and the condition is totally reversed.My dentsist wanted to do a scaling and now it is not necessary.

I still don't floss as I should, but my gums are pink, now and the pockets aren't as deep and most have disappeared.I give this product two thumbs up and I will buy another one in the future.

Lightweight and less "buzz" than older models.
I had an older model a while back, and hated the way it buzzed, and sprayed toothpaste all over the place.It was also awkward, and I gave up and went back to a regular toothbrush.But, then I lost dental insurance, and wanted to be able to keep my teeth cleaner between visits, so started shopping Amazon again.It's so great to be able to read reviews.

I'm really happy with this toothbrush.It's light, and the word "elegant" actually comes to mind.The brush head is much smaller than the old dynosaur I had, and it doesn't buzz as much, and doesn't spray toothpaste around much at all.I haven't reached for "old faithful" since I bought this model.

Whitens teeth
I love my Sonicare toothbrush.I does a wonderful job cleaning and makes my teeth appear whiter.It is easy to use and easy to charge.The only complaint I have is that they don't make one in a travel size.

Sonicare PL4 (4700)
If you don't own one of these, you should.I bought the Advance 4700 for my son and I tried it.OH MY!!!! I'm hooked!The only negative was the brush head and handle was considerably larger than the Elite 7300.I see the price has dropped on the 4300 to around $79. A friend has the 7300 and the ergonomic design of the handle and skinner brush head makes it really much more comfortable.But on the other hand, some people like larger things stuck in their mouth, so it that's the case, go for the $20 savings and get the 4300.All I can say is, I want to go brush my teeth right now.You won't be sorry with either! ...

Great Product, Great Performance
I have been using an Oral B brush for a few years now and thought it was time to upgrade. My dental hygenist recommended this one so I decided to try it. My teeth feel a lot cleaner and are noticable whiter after only 1 week's use. The integrated toothpaste is good, but I recommend using your regular toothpaste as well (it goes a little faster than advertised.

I recommend this product!!!

Does not feel like top of the line model
I have been using the original Sonicare toothbrush for years. It's a great product, and still going strong, but I decided to upgrade to the latest and greatest.

I like the integrated toothpaste concept. Seems like a very nice feature for travel, kind of all-in one conception. If you are going on a prolonged trip though, be aware, that the charger is not very compact, and it only supports 110-120 Volts, you would need a transformer to use it with 220-240 Volt outlets. Also, this toothbrush uses Nickel Cadmium batteries; which for the year 2005 is unfortunate. These days better battery technologies are available.

The original Sonicare toothbrush felt like a fairly well sealed and tight unit, this new one has large gaps and a feeling that it is about to come apart in your hands.

But now is the most important question. How well does it work? After trying the i8500 myself I must say that it works very well. Better than the original. The longer bristles at the ends clean spaces between the teeth, and elongated shape allow brushing hard to reach places better.

By far the BEST EVER - FUN AND PLEASURE
As the title indicates, it's the best product I ever experimented to brush teeths.
I'ts fast; The eletronic ("ionic") I already had on my previous sonycare (thousands of toothbrushes per second); I see people doing FORCE to brush and Sonicare don't need that. You just touch softly your teeth, the velocity creates micro drops that goes everywhere in your month.
THIS PRODUCT is a big step forward. It's so fun and practic that you don't have to unscrew and/or open a toothpaste, it's just already there.
It's also fantastic tastefull (very good tastes, can't wait for more options).
I never liked brushing my teeths. Did it for higienic needs only. Now I do it before and after food, about 4 to 5 times a day minimum. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!
By the way, I was concerned (and curious) about how many days the small and tiny toothpaste would last. Brushing 5 times a day, I had it work for about 12 to 15 days (one person). Very good result. I taught it would not be more than4or5 days.
And that's because I "push" the paste button two times, not one each time.
THIS PRODUCT IS THE ULTIMATE, BEST EVER TOOTHBRUSH SYSTEM. I have fun and pleasure for first time in my life.
Bill Gates with all his 5 billion dollars can't buy something better for his teeths! This is THE thing!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE
Well, the title says it all. Its performance is not as good as I expected. I feel like I have to brush many times in order to feel clean. The brush is not as strong as my Oral B one. I am very very disappointed. Sonicare lets me down!!!

Bulky, Expensive refill and brush.Very disappointing. AVOID
Why upgrade to this bulky product? Why contend with hard to find and expensive toothpaste? Why limit your toothpaste choices? Why pay so much?

Listen, just buy better Oral B product which are superior and smaller.

I returned mine to my dentist and got Oral B instead and very impressed with it! You're supposed to replace brush often and Sonicare's replacement are RIP OFF.

Sonicares are unreliable. I owned older model and it died within 2 years or just shy of 2 year warranty. I give them credit for good customer service for sending me replacement. So if your product is unreliable then call to complain and demand a brand new replacment!

Want proof? Reputable 3rd party Cochrane study state that Oral B's rotating brush are better! Not only that the replacement brushes are much cheaper than Sonicare!

http://www.oralb.com/cochrane/summary.asp

"An independent research group The Cochrane Collaboration, recently completed the most comprehensive review of power toothbrush
studies ever undertaken.
Rotation-oscillation toothbrushes, like the
ProfessionalCare 7000, reduce plaque and
gingivitis by between 7% and 17% more
than manual toothbrushes.

No other form of power toothbrushes,
including "sonic," proved to be any better
than a manual toothbrush in reducing
plaque and gingivitis.

The evidence also proved that power
toothbrushing is just as safe as manual
brushing.

Tactical toothbrush gr8 4 ppl wth sensitive gums and teeth
My reason for buying the Sonic Complete is because I was experiencing lots of sensitivity with a regular tooth brush, and mySonicare Advanced stopped working after three years. I did a little research and decided to get the Sonic complete based on design and competitive price. I have used this tooth brush for three days now and was compelled to write this review.The s-320 is well designed and superior to my old Sonicare because of the following:
- Criss-crossed brisles cover more surface area than regular brisles.
- Removable built-in brush head storage on charger has drainage holes to prevent mildew.
- Brush head is overmolded with rubber.
- Handle is very light and compact compared to Sonicare Advanced.
- Handle is overmolded with rubber that prevents slippage and is contoured for the hand.
- The color of the unit itself is eye catching.
- The shaft that holds the brush heads acts like a tuining fork.
- Three speeds
- Charger is wall mountable.

The only drawback that I can think of is the battery because it is nickle-cadmium (ni-cad) which charges slow and is prone to "memory effect". What I do now is not leave my toothbrush on the charger on a daily basis, I learned my lesson from the Sonicare that I had previously.
Braun claims that this toothbrush can be used for up to 14 days without a charge, that might sound impressive but Braun is assuming that you brush twice a day for twominutes each brushing. I happen to brush after each meal and I eat allot so I dont think that my toothbrush can last the 14 days without a charge, in addition to that I always brush my tougue so that's another minute or two.
Despite some of the drawbacks that I mentioned this toothbrush impresses me. It's been close to two months since my sonicare broke and before I got the Sonic Complete I have been using an old fashioned manual tooth brush. My gums have been receding because agressive use of the manual tootbrush most of my life, so I was upset to use it again until I found a suitable replacement. My gums were bleeding and my teeth had lots of tartar left behind before I flossed. Now since I have used the sonic complete no trace of tartar has been left for me to floss and my gums aren't bleeding anymore. Another thing that I am impressed with is my coffee and nicotine stains on the top of my molars have almost disappeared, I'm thinking it will take a week for the stains to fully disappear.

Amazing Toothbrush!
When my dental hygenist recommended I get an electric toothbrush, I have to admit I was hesitant. I have always had sensitive gums, and normal brushing would sometimes leave my mouth bruised as it was. I read the product description for this toothbrush, and learned that it doesn't actually spin. This lead me to believe that it would be the most gentle brush I could find. Since I began using it, I haven't been disappointed. The brush features 3 modes, which have been wonderful to have! When my gums are sore, I simply switch modes! I would highly recommend this toothbrush to anyone looking for a great product, especially if you have a sensitive mouth!

Terrific Toothbrush
I bought this toothbrush after it was recommended by a friend.I was hesitant spending so much money on a toothbrush.However, I made the purchase.Once again, cheapest price was on Amazon.com!It was simple to set up and easy to use & clean.I love it!My teeth feel dentist-clean and have brightened in just a few weeks.I love the timed brushing--now I know I've brushed enough!I've recommended this tooth brush to everyone I know.It's the best.

Really Clean Teeth
This is a great upgrade from the Oral B 3-D power toothbrush I was using, which I also liked. The sonic version cleans better and I found the brush bristles more flexible, gentle, and easier to position on my teeth than the round style of brush.The unit is easy to keep clean and the brush easy to remove and attach. In any case, when I switched from a manual to power toothbrush several years ago, the manual brush just couldn't clean as well, regardless of how long I spent brushing.

My Teeth Are So White
I have been using the regular oral b tooth brush and loved it.I had a sonicare and because my mouth is small I had a hard time getting the toothbrush head anywhere near my back teeth.So when I saw that the oral b sonic brush was smaller I got it.I love it.I had finished a week of Crest white strips and thought that I'd go get another box and do them again.I wanted my teeth really really white.After a few days of using the oral b sonic.. I didn't need to get another box of the crest white strips.My teeth are so white. I love that is has a more gentle speed for the back of my front teeth that are sensitive and you can clean your tongue and massage your gums ... Read more

The Original Sonicare product is the best
Used it for 5 years before the battery gave out. A great product. Upgraded to the Elite and got cavities and damaged gums. Back to the original for me.

What about another charger???
The Sonicare 4300 is easy to use and I think it really does go after more tartar and stains than I could on my own. I question the claim that 80% of stains will be gone in 28 days - I would say more like 40% but that's an individual thing. One problem that has come up is where can I get another charger? My husband and I travel and when we go to separate destinations for any length of time, one gets the charger and the other doesn't. Good luck trying to find a spare charger; I have tried a number of web sites and to my surprise -- no one seems to have thought of this!! Really a pain in the neck for travelers who don't always travel together! Otherwise I have no complaints.

Flawless Toothbrush, best in the world
I ordered this item on amazon, and it came super quick even with free shipping option.
When i got the toothbrush, it was amazing.
My teeth have never felt so polished and clean. Actually my whole mouth has never felt so clean.I will never use any other product but sonicare.every 30 seconds it tells you when to switch areas of brushing, and automatically shuts off at 2 minutes for the recommended dentist "2 minute brushing".
(over brushing will wear away the enamel)
And a bonus, it whitens your teeth by removing years of stains!
If your serious about dental hygene, this is the product for you.

It's a toothbrush.
This is a VERY over-rated product.I really don't feel my teeth are any cleaner than using a standard toothbrush, and I may just abandon this thing when the head gives out- I just can't see throwing good money after bad.I liked the Braun electric toothbrush better, and the refills are much cheaper.

Upgrade to the Elite
Although there's nothing really wrong with the Advance model (except the way toothpaste collects under the threads of the brush attachment and the bulky brush itself), the Elite model has so many improvements that upgrading is well worth the extra money! ... Read more

Wow
In my opinion, this toothbrush is the best thing since sliced bread.Yes, it is bulky and it takes some time getting used to, BUT it is so worth it.After 3 mins of brushing, your teeth will (literally) shine.And not just that, you'll save a bunch of money on dentist visits (cleaner teeth=less problems).Get it, your smile will thank you.

(And no, I don't work for SoniCare, I just love their product :)

Great but bulky
My first impression of the toothbrush was how bulky it was.My roommate has a Sonicare and I figured it would be roughly the same size, but it seems bigger.It almost looks a little ridiculous, it has a huge handle and a small brush head.

But once you start brusing your teeth with it you forget about it and just enjoy it.It's simply amazing how clean your teeth feel when you are done brushing with it.

The toothpaste refills are a little pricey and they don't seem to be sold everywhere, but you can always put regular toothpaste on the brushhead if you wish.

Overall I'm happy with the product, but not with the size.

Junk gimmick - Too big, expensive toothpaste...AVOID!
Why upgrade to this bulky product? Why contend with hard to find and expensive toothpaste? Why limit your toothpaste choices? Why pay so much?

Listen, just buy better Oral B product which are superior and smaller.

I returned mine to my dentist and got Oral B instead and very impressed with it!You're supposed to replace brush often and Sonicare's replacement are RIP OFF.

Sonicares are unreliable.I owned older model and it died within 2 years or just shy of 2 year warranty.I give them credit for good customer service for sending me replacement.So if your product is unreliable then call to complain and demand a brane new replacment!

Want proof? Reputable 3rd party Cochrane study state that Oral B's rotating brush are better! Not only that the replacement brushes are much cheaper than Sonicare!

http://www.oralb.com/cochrane/summary.asp

"An independent research group The Cochrane Collaboration, recently completed the most comprehensive review of power toothbrush
studies ever undertaken.
Rotation-oscillation toothbrushes, like the
ProfessionalCare 7000, reduce plaque and
gingivitis by between 7% and 17% more
than manual toothbrushes.

No other form of power toothbrushes,
including "sonic," proved to be any better
than a manual toothbrush in reducing
plaque and gingivitis.

The evidence also proved that power
toothbrushing is just as safe as manual
brushing.

Cleans great!
My dental hygenist suggested this brush to me about a year and a half ago. Used daily along with regular flossing, my gums are quite healthy today and my teeth are whiter too. I like the brush because it's easy to clean (I do it weekly), easy to travel with and my teeth feel cleaner than possible with a manual toothbrush. Plus the beeps ensure that your whole mouth gets brushed for an adequate length of time. The brush shuts off after 2 minutes. However, if you want to brush longer, simply turn the brush on again.

The brush is great. Since the electric motion can better get in between teeth and to some degree, under the gum line, regular use will improve your dental health. You should still floss daily and eat your fruits and veggies for optimal gum health.

Worth Every Penny - Highly Recommended
Like other reviewers here, I recently found out I'd been brushing my teeth too hard and that my gums were receding. The hygienist suggested a Sonicare brush, which is what she used at home. I took her advice, and my teeth have never felt better. It was easy to adjust to the feel of this brush. It's almost impossible to brush too hard, since you really let the brush do the work for you.

I like the battery status meter and the pacing beeps every 30 seconds that remind me not to over-brush. The Sonicare is light and compact and the charger doesn't take up too much room in my crowded bathroom. I recommend the Sonicare very highly to anyone who wants to spend less time in the dentist's chair (and I think that includes just about everyone.)

Great Product!
With the electric toothbrush market still trying to catch up with Sonicare this brush has it all.It even comes with a travel case that allows the brush to seperate and fit in to accompany you on a trip.The battery life in the 7800 will last for at least 7 days on each charge so no need to charge it everyday or bring your charger on a short trip.The 7800 model comes with a 2 year warranty and not the one year that comes with other versions - thats how confident Sonicare is that this is the best toothbrush on the market.

Awesome
This toothbrush is awesome. I had no problems adjusting to it and I'm not wasting time brushing my teeth with the quadpacer timer. It's very efficient. I was always brushing too hard, causing my gums to receed. But this brush makes it much easier to apply fingertip pressure. The travel case is great too. I can take it with me safely on trips and I don't need the recharger at all. Now my teeth don't feel clean unless I use it! It's more compact than older models too.

Great Product
I brought this after reading the reviews on amazon and after I needed to replace my braun electric toothbrush. I am delighted with the sonicare! It cleans noticably better than the braun, the proof is in the color of my teeth-definitely brighter and whiter! Go for this toothbrush, you won't be disappointed! ... Read more

I really like it!
I had been using the Oral B battery toothbrush for a year. It is my 40th birthday and I wanted something to treat myself so I bought this tooth brush. It is the same as the Oral B S-320 but without the massage feature, which is not necassary at all and it was only $79.99 which is the best price for a rechargable toothbrush. I have not had my teeth cleaned in two years (oops) and thought of doing so, but it costs $80 so I decided to try this tooth brush as see if it felt like going to get my teeth cleaned. I really believe it feels just as good as getting my teeth cleaned! It is quite strong and you must get used to the strong vibration inside your mouth, but it is very effective. My teeth felt smooth as glass and I really enjoyed using it. I now feel so invested in my teeth and keeping my mouth healthy that I will go get my teeth cleaned. This tooth brush will clean your teeth much better then the battery powered Oral B tooth brushes and so much better then a hand held tooth brush. I love it and and so happy I bought it and I feel I got a good deal on this model for $79.99. You will not be disappointed. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

By combining 31,000 brush strokes per minute and gentle sonic waves, Sonicare electric toothbrushes scrub away decay-causing plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than ordinary toothbrushes. Two full-refund guarantees are offered on this model (30-day satisfaction guarantee and 90-day improved-care guarantee), plus a 2-year warranty on the handle against defects.

This is Sonicare's top-of-the-line model, offering all available features: an interval timer that beeps every 30 seconds to encourage thorough cleaning of each mouth section; an automatic shutoff after 2 minutes to indicate when cleaning time attains the recommended duration (the brush can be restarted); a ramp-up that gently increases brushing power during the first 12 uses to reduce soreness for people unaccustomed to thorough cleaning (this feature can be turned off); and a recharge indicator light that signals when charging is needed and when it's in progress. This model serves three family members with their own brush heads; it comes with two compact heads and one ultra-compact head with a longer shaft and fewer bristles for better maneuverability (great for kids). A countertop holder for brush heads not in use and a three-slot brush-head travel case are included. The power handle holds a charge for about two weeks. --Fred Brack ... Read more

• Cleans with a combination of 31,000 brush strokes per minute and gentle sonic waves

Bad Design - Battery dies after a couple of years
I am so disappointed in my Sonicare.Once the battery decides not to recharge anymore, there is absolutely NOTHING that you can do!You have to replace the entire unit.I am very, very disappointed.What a SCAM!

BEWARE--YOU HAVE TO BUY ENTIRE NEW UNIT AGAIN in 2 YEARS!
My sonicare failed to turn on just a few days after its 2 year warranty expired.I called their customer service and they said I have to BUY AN ENTIRE NEW UNIT (another $100) again.

They said my experience is quite normal and that the battery will not recharge after ~2-3 years and can't be fixed.

So not only do they get you for a big upfront investment and frequent expensive brush head replacements but the whole thing doesn't last very long.They don't tell you this when you buy it!

Poor quality product and poor durability!!

Sonicare is riding the wave of the future
The biggest complaint I hear from people about electric tootbrushes is that the replacement heads are too expensive. Come now, that was the type of thinking that would have killed the Industrial Revolution!

For anyone who really cares about dental hygeine or even just the way they look to other people, you can't not use an electric toothbrush anymore. I laughed at the idea at first, but once I began using one I will never be able to use a regular toothbrush again without feeling like my mouth isn't clean. When you go to the dentist--what type of toothbrush does he/she use on you? Electric--for a reason, because it cleans better.

The marginally higher cost of replacing the heads rather than buying an entirely new disposable toothbrush is insignificant when you actually feel as clean as you can when you use an electric brush. Personal dental care has evolved to the next step, and you don't want to be caught be the last person using a slide ruler because you were too frugal to purchase the more expensive but more effective calculator.

Your teeth (and anyone who comes in contact with them) will thank you.

Amazon was irresponsible and I never received my sonicare
I waited two weeks to receive my Sonicare ordered through Amazon and I never received it. I'm sure it's a wonderful product but now I will never know (actually I'll order it through drugstore.com so I will know soon enough).Amazon was incredibly unhelpful and I had to chase a package around until finally it got cancelled.Amazon prides itself on its personal recommendations but I'm terribly disappointed with their level of service and advise others not to use them.

Can't go wrong w/Sonicare Sonic Toothbrush
