Product Reviews of Philips Sonicare Xtreme e3000 Power Toothbrush (Orange)
Product Review: Works great until it dies
Summary: 2 Stars
I also went through 2 of these like a previous reviewer...they work great. But after its second set of batteries it dies...so for 2 of these toothbrushes I got almost 2 months of use total.
Would send it in for a new one but...I feel that it would likely break again and I don't want to contribute too much to the good ol' landfill. Otherwise though it is a fantastic toothbrush. Not sure I'm a fan of the timer.
Product Review: Worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
Totally worthless purchase. For one, it's noisy compared with other power brushes i've had. It began cutting out on me, at first I thought it was the cheap batteries that came with it. Then I replaced them and it continued to cut out. Bad connection inside or shorting out? I kept taking it apart to look at, changed batteries again and still nothing. It wouldn't run anymore except for one other time, then i turned it off to rinse and it wouldn't start again. It sat unused for a few weeks before I decided to pitch the damn thing in the garbage. I never did bother finding the paper work to return it. Isolated case of a lemon? Who knows. I wasn't impressed with the sound and the excessive spraying it did.Product Review: Xtreme e3000 Power Toothbrush

I bought it for my kids - ages 13 & 15 - who don't always want to brush their teeth. I think this toothbrush makes brushing teeth more fun for them. They both rated it as a '5'.Product Review: You can stop researching now. Buy this- the cheapest mdl w/no penalties

Yipee, I'm the "first to review this product". I'm doing so to save you time and eyestrain. Put yourself out of web-reading Hell, and just buy this Sonicare Xtreme model now.
It costs less, does the exact same job as the more expensive Sonicare models, and the best part: The Xtreme runs on 2 regular AA batteries, avoiding the one problem you'll see mentioned in many user comments of all the other Sonicares, that of short battery life w/no way to replace the rapidly dying built-in ones.
Sonicare told me this model runs at the same speed etc, and does the job every bit as well as their higher-end ones, but lacks the following non-essential features:
No beeps every 30secs, no battery life indicator, and no soft start (a slower speed that's programmed in for its initial 12 uses).
This model uses the E-series of replacement brush heads, same as the high-end models.
I was told by Sonicare to expect 80-100 uses per set of alkalines.
If you don't want to keep buying batteries, get yourself a set of 4 AA rechargeable batteries and charger, and you'll be set for years. You'll also be able to take advantage of longer run times as longer-lived rechargeables come on the market (this happens about every year).
I have one, and see no negatives to its design at all. -And a bonus- You can store it horizontally (no charging stand to deal with), and it even has a little no-roll ridge on the back of the handle. Nice.
Product Review: battery powered Sonicare

I am a Sonicare owner and bought these for my children as a gift. I wanted to see if they liked them before purchasing the more expensive models. They love them and are brushing their teeth more often and better now. The next purchase will be a rechargeable one.
