Product Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Product Review: Best toothbrush I've ever used!
Summary: 5 Stars
There may be other electric toothbrushes out there that are "better" than the Sonicare Elite but I will say, with no reservations, that this is the absolute best toothbrush I have ever used. I thought those simple little rotary toothbrushes were pretty nifty when they came out but they were not truly up to the challenge of getting my teeth really clean and stain-free. Based on positive reviews and a tempting Gold Box offer, I gave the Sonicare Elite a chance. The best dental investment I have ever made! Yes, it will tickle at first when you just start using it but the brush actually ramps itself up over the first ten or so (forget the exact number) uses to allow you time to get accustomed to it. The tickle factor was only the first couple of uses and then it moved past that - but try to avoid hitting your teeth with the plastic part because you'll feel the vibrations right through your skull. The stains that were developing immediately began to disappear and my teeth looked much whiter and felt wonderfully clean in just a couple of weeks without any "extra whitening" toothpaste. The improvement was pure Sonicare. Other things I love about it is the fact that it indicates when it is time to switch quadrants. I found that not only am I spending the proper time brushing my teeth now (without overdoing it) but this feature also keeps me more mindful of HOW I'm brushing my teeth. The timer effortlessly helps you be more consistent in your brushing behavior. And the other big plus for me is the fact that years and years of abusing my teeth and gums with a manual toothbrush (using excessive pressure) has caused my gums to erode under some of my teeth. Manual and rotary toothbrushes would sometimes hit a vulnerable nerve and cause major pain. I feared that would happen with the Sonicare but for some reason the Elite has never caused me any discomfort. A single charge lasts many sessions and the unit simply drops into its charger as simple and sweet as you'd ever want. The head is compact and the neck is slender so it gets into the tighter areas with ease. My brushing sessions are now more consistent and pain-free and my teeth are noticeably whiter and they feel exceptionally clean. Money well spent, in my opinion!Product Review: Best value. The logical choice.
Summary: 5 Stars
This model has all the features of the Elite 9500 (2 brush heads, 2 cleaning modes, programmable quadpacer, and a guage to indicate about how much charge is remaining in the battery), but it's $12 cheaper from Amazon!
All the "programmable quadpacer" feature amounts to is the ability to leave it on for an extra (i.e., a fifth) 30-second interval, or the ability to turn the timer off so that it's just on/off. I regard most of the features as functional ornamentation ("bells and whistles"), but the Elite 9800 also happens to be a dependable, super-lightweight model that will run a good three weeks on a charge with only one person using it. I went on a three-week trip and didn't bother to pack my charger, and it had charge to spare when I got back. NOTE: I always allow the NiCd battery run all the way down (to exhaustion) before charging it, and that enhances both the charge and battery life. (NiCd's only have so many charge cycles.)
If this is your first electric, you might like the way it comes out of the box programmed to gradually ramp-up the power over the first fourteen brushings.
What's the difference between the 9800 and the 9500? The models appear identical. The only difference I found is that one comes in a box that says 9800, the other says 9500. :-)
Product Review: Better Than A Manual Toothbrush!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my Sonicare Elite a couple of months ago & am very satisfied with the results. My teeth feel so clean & my gums are getting more pink. I have braces & I want to tell you that my Sonicare does not harm them in any way, infact I found it easier to brush with my Sonicare than the manual toothbrush I was using. By it you won't be disappointed!!P.S. You can by the Sonicare Elite replacement heads at Amazon.com for only $19.99 (and that's for two) a lot cheaper than Wal*Mart which are roughly around $23.00!

Product Review: Blew my spinbrush away!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought several of those inexpensive spinbrushes when they came out and I have to admit, my teeth felt much cleaner then when using a regular brush. Two things spurred me to get the Sonicare. The first was my dentist had an operation and is out of the picture for a couple of months, right when its time to get a cleaning. The second is I have bad insurance and its hard finding a dentist that takes it, or one that will clean and examine your teeth during one visit. I had seen the commerical and decided to give it a try. I noticed whiter teeth in 2 days!!! No lie. I am using a whitening toothpaste with it, but it is the same toothpaste I have been using for months. My mouth feels like when you leave the dentist, except for the tartar build up around the inside of my lower front teeth. But, its only been a week so far so I'll see what happens. I will get my teeth cleaned next month and I know it will be much easier then if I was still using my spinbrush.
