Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: I know weird huh.
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVE this tooth brush. Absolutely leaves your mouth feeling fresh and massaged. I have always loved to brush my teeth. I know weird huh. Weird is good. I will never go back to a regular toothbrush now that I have this. My teeth are cleaner, fresher, and even whiter. I can rave on and on about the benefits of this tooth brush but I will limit it to the following:
* flossing is easier since using this tooth brush cleans better than the manual ones ( gross I know but much less gunk )
* My teeth feel polished and are whiter
* breath stays fresher longer ( may be just me but it is fresher longer)
* Don't have to wonder if you brushed long enough it brushes for 2 minutes and cuts off (mindless fun)
* No more tennis elbow to get to the back teeth, this brush gently cleans the backs with minimum motion on your part.
* You will tongue your teeth more because they will feel smooth and polished.
Okay that's about it. If you don't have this tooth brush your missing out.
PS I used to brush with baking soda and peroxide (dip brush in peroxide and then baking soda) once a week to keep my teeth stain free and white. Now I do it once a month. It tastes bad but your mouth will feel luxurious.
Customer Review: As an owner of an "original" Sonicare on my second actually I am writing this review more from the perspective of whether the Elite is worth $[$$]+ as an "upgrade".
Summary: 3 Stars
As an owner of an "original" Sonicare (on my second actually) I am writing this review more from the perspective of whether the Elite is worth $[$$]+ as an "upgrade".First, from an aesthetic and ergonomic point on view the Elite is a big step forward. The handle is lighter and has a tapered shape with a rubber grip. More importantly the brush head is smaller and is more of a diamond shape rather than the "original" rectangle. The brush head "neck" is also angled to provide easier access to the back teeth and "flexes" both horizontally and vertically.
That being said, the Elite just does not seem as "powerful" as the original. This is based not only on my subjective opinion of the "feel" while brushing but also on an objective "look" at the brush head while powered on. Whereas the original has bristles that travel through a 90 degree arc, the Elite bristles barely travel at all. Granted, this may be in part due to the smaller/shorter bristles. Sonicare claims that the Elite is actually better from a functional point of view and I cannot say otherwise, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. (yes, i tested with the "beginner mode" turned off)
Also, after six weeks of usage, one of the magnets on the Elite brush head appears to have rusted significantly. This was never a problem with the "original" Sonicare brush heads. Whether this affects performance or not I cannot say. As the brush head enters its third, fourth or fifth month of service I can only assume that the changes for decreased performance would increase. Also, black "moldy" appearing deposits accumulate in the handle "well" which, also, never occured with the "original". My guess here is that water is allowed to accumulate inside the brush head and handle well because of the flexible rubber housing (between the brush head "nut" and "neck") allows for the 360 degree "flex" I mentioned earlier-this housing is not sealed. When I inquired, Sonicare denied(not having seen the unit) that what I was seeing was rust, and referred me to the cleaning instructions. Take that for what it is worth...
I have found one interesting thing... While the "original" brush head will not fit the Elite handle, the Elite brush head WILL fit the "original" handle. I detect no difference in the brushing experience using that combination.
My recommendations therefore are:
1) if you have never had a Sonicare then by all means buy the "Elite"... (but be wary of the rusting problem)
2) if you currently have an "original" that is on its last legs then buy an Elite (again be wary of the rust)

Customer Review: The difference in the two exam's results was phenomenal!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought an Elite 7500 model because that's what the store had, but I don't think there were many differences in the 7300 and the 7500. I wish I'd had this toothbrush a year or more ago. Maybe I wouldn't have the degree of gum disease I do now. I bought my first and only Sonicare model after very high recommendations by my periodontist. After being examined by her the first time in June, I went back after having used the Sonicare consistently in September. The difference in the two exam's results was phenomenal! The dentist couldn't stop remarking over it! I had pockets of some degree or another around 80% of my teeth; on the 2nd visit, this had been reduced to about 10%, it was that effective on my teeth AND gums. I love the "massage" feeling while I'm brushing too. There's been absolutely no mechanical problems with any part of it, or any "cosmetic" flaws, after 4 months of use, still looks brand new! I now have TWO dentists raving about the condition of my teeth! (And my primary dentist is NOT known for his raving.)Customer Review: Think about every time you go to the dentist.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the worlds best toothbrush. It give you a dentis clean feel every time you use it. Its great! But 109 bucks you say? Think about every time you go to the dentist.

If you want your teeth to feel like you just stepped out of your dental hygienist's office every time you brush, buy a Rota-dent. I spent a couple of hundred dollars outfitting my family with Sonicares, and then I found a good dentist in another city who recommended the Rota-dent. There is no comparison. Previously, after using the Sonicare, my regular dentist and hygienist were hounding me to come in more often to get my teeth cleaned - every three months, instead of every six. This last time, I waited a year - while using the Rota-dent, and they said I was doing a great job of keeping my teeth clean. Most dentists want you to rely on them to keep your teeth clean. They don't want you to be able to keep them clean yourself. It's a rare dentist that will teach you how to help yourself (the same goes for healthcare 'professionals' in other areas). The Rota-dent is very easy to use, very gentle, and very effective at keeping your teeth clean.
