Product Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Product Review: Bought Sonicare Elite e7300 Sept 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT product - we love the small brush head and it's light weight. Keeps the charge a long time too.Product Review: Brush Your Teeth, It's the Law
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this specific model in Dec. 2005 and it's as good as (almost) new today. Prior to this Sonicare I had an earlier model which I used for about 4-5 years. With the risk of this reading like one of those fake 'I lost 500 pounds in 2 months' ads, the fact is that, prior to me starting to use Sonicare I was having some gum problems and I had cavities. I had no new cavities ever since and my dentist is no longer worried about my gums.
A necessary warning: it should be noted that Sonicare is not be good for everyone. My wife, for example, can't stand the vibrating brush while I love it and so do the kids.
I am not going to discuss the technology here - it's well explained in the product description section. What is worth noting is that, speaking for my self, my teeth have never been cleaner or healthier. I still do twice-per-year dentist cleaning sessions but I no longer have to subject myself to the dreadful 'deep cleaning'. I've used Sonicare brushes for, apparently, 7-8 years and I am likely to continue using it until something better becomes available but I doubt that 'something better' exists today.
On this particular model:
+ The 2 minute cycle is marked by 'tones' every 30 seconds so you know when to switch to the next 'quadrant'.
+ There is a button that switches from hi-vibe to lo-vibe. I always use it at max power but it's good to know that you have the option.
+ A row of little, green LED's tell you how charged the battery is.
- The body has rubber grips over its native plastic. After less than one year, the bottom began to disintegrate, possibly because of constant moisture in the charging base. 4 years later, only the bottom is affected but it's not a pretty site. I'd like it better with plastic all-over.
+ One full charge should keep you going for one week. After all these years of using it twice-daily, it still runs for one week after a full charge.
= You will need to replace the brush head every six months or so.
+ A carrying case is included. I found it very convenient.
+ My one call to customer service went very well, back in 2005. It was answered by someone speaking perfect American English who, patiently, helped me recognize the 'tones' the toothbrush was producing every 30 seconds - silly me, I was expecting to hear some 'beep' while the toothbrush signals the 30-second via a change in the vibration pitch.
Product Review: Brush the back teeth too!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love both of the Sonicares. Still have the older version. With the new one is so much easier to reach the back teeth.Product Review: Buy the FlexCare
Summary: 2 Stars
Do yourself a favor and buy the Sonicare Flex Care. The newer Flex Care models are an upgrade without the screw-on design flaw of this Sonicare model. This model has a hideous design where the saliva and other brushing liquids seep down into the inner mechanisms of the hand piece and pool up in a really disgusting way and requires you to take it apart and clean off inner crevices made up of metal and plastic parts. The new design eliminates all that slew of slime. This brushing action is fantastic, just like the new one, but this design stinks...literally.Product Review: Carol
Summary: 5 Stars
The Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 is an excellent product. After the first time using it, it felt like I just had my teeth professionally cleaned. I am going to buy one for each of my children. I would highly recommend this product. Great for the health of your teeth and gums. Simply Excellent.
