- Works great
- I'm quite happy with it so far, works great, easy to use. However, the travel pouch is a little chintzy, a hard case would have been nice.

- Makes brushing easy and FUN
- I upgraded from an Oral-B. Several friends recommended Sonicare, so I gave it a try. This model is definitely much slimmer and quieter than the Elite series, which was selling point for me. The extra brushing modes are extras, and really weren't that important. I'm hoping it lives up to the marketing and that my next visit to the dentist is much shorter! I did a full charge up and down on the battery, and so far it lasts more than a week between charging...good news for vacation!

- Sonicare Rocks!
- I used to think that any power toothbrush would be as good as the next. Then I used the Sonicare and it has blown away all expectations and completely transformed my impression about electric toothbrushes.
Using this toothbrush has given me an unbelievably long lasting clean taste. It probably gets everything you're going after when you brush.
It has a quick brush setting and a longer mode for a thorough scrubbing with a timer to remind you to switch to different areas of the mouth. That's an invaluable feature!
Pros:
1. I liked the step-up power cycle feature which increases the intensity of the vibrations gradually over the first 14 brush cycles and hits peak only once you've had the chance to use it for a week to two (depending upon how many times you brush daily).
2. The brush is ergonomically designed to be easy to a) Hold b) Brush c) clean d) carry in travel pouch
3. Gum Massage feature: Lower frequency vibrations help.
4. You can wrap the excess length of the power cord in the base and hide it from view.
5. I have not replaced the brush on its base for about 3 weeks now and it is still running on half charge. This thing has an amazing battery life!
Cons:
1. Hmmm...let's see. None!
They designed this one really well and I'd be interested in knowing how they plan to improve upon this. Maybe send someone home to brush your teeth for you. - 2008-07-22, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Good, but annoying design flaw
- I love the way my teeth feel after using this toothbrush. There is simply no comparison between the Sonicare and a cheap electric toothbrush (let alone a "regular" hand held). The vibration takes a couple of uses to get accustomed to, and I'm not sure it would feel great if you have overly sensitive teeth. There are different settings which are essentially different time settings (for a quick clean or a longer clean). Not sure how critical the feature is, but it works.
There is just one annoying feature of the toothbrush. The controls for the different speeds and timing are all on side of the handle, and I am constantly hitting them accidentally while I'm brushing, either turning it off, or changing the mode mid-session. Not the end of the world, and I'm not sure what other design would allow you the options this brush provides. That is the only reason that I give this brush 4 and not 5 stars. - 2008-07-19, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
