Customer Reviews of Sonicare Elite Professional Toothbrush (2 Brushheads)
Customer Review: Pretty good product
Summary: 4 Stars
The Sonicare 7800 is the third electric toothbrush I have ever owned, following the Cybersonic 1 & 2. To the point, the Sonicare 7800 does a admirable overall job of cleaning your teeth. And yes, it does make you feel as though you have just left the dentist's office. I like the extra long handle it has. It does a better job of allowing the brusher to clean the teeth all the way in the back of your mouth than any other brush I've owned.
It is aesthetically pleasing and ergonomical. It has a good battery charger that tells you not simply that the unit is charged, but to what degree. My biggest complaint with the Cybersonics I owned is that the batteries didn't hold their charge for long and the battery itself did not have a long life. I have not owned the 7800 long enough to assess the quality of the battery, but the manufacturer claims you can take the unit on a 2 week trip and not have to worry about charging it. It comes with a sturdy, hard carrying case.
There are a couple of things that bother me about this product. It's nothing major and it might not bother most other people at all, but here they are:
1. The 2 minute brushing timer cannot be disabled. The Sonicare 7800 will stay on for 2 minutes, then it shuts off. That's because the American Dental Association recommends you brush for 2 minutes twice a day. All well and good, but most of the time, I like to brush for more than 2 minutes, so I have to turn the unit back on after 2 minutes. Why not give an audio indicator at 2 minutes instead of shutting the whole unit down?
2. I find the brush given is too thin and soft. That was the first thought that hit me when I first brushed with the Sonicare 7800. A fuller brush that is a bit firmer, I feel, would go a long way to giving the brusher with an even greater feeling of dental cleanliness after each experience.
So those are my pet peeves. You will not be unhappy using this unit, however. I love to use it and that fact alone, makes me brush longer and more often than if using a regular toothbrush. It's not too expensive either. You can find it on ebay for less than they are asking at Amazon, so do some looking around and you can get yourself a nice deal.
