Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: Thus...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this on the recommendation of a friend of mine, a dentist. I did so even though the Consumer Reports magazine has stated that this, well actually the older version of this, is not the most effective powered toothbrush available; nor are electric any-models more effective than skillful hand brushing alone. Prior to my friend's recommendation, I would not have purchased such a machine because of the monetary costs involved. Personally, I believe purchasing this is either going to make sense to you or it is not. It made sense to me because as I age, I begin to fear life with false or missing teeth; I'd rather keep my own until my dying day, if possible. Thus, it makes sense to me to spend some money on a machine that comes recommended by a professional whose opinion I trust. With that said, after a few weeks, I no longer use this machine every day for two reasons. The most important is that it begins to play hell with sensitive teeth over time. The other is that I tire of waiting for the 30 second intervals which indicate that it is time to begin brushing a different bank of teeth and I can't bear the thought of not using the timer. However, I have found this machine INDISPENSIBLE and UNRIVALLED for performing one specific job which I had heretofore been unable to adequately perform myself: The Cleaning of My Wisdom Teeth. That's right folks, if you have wisdom teeth, you know how difficult it can be to get them completely clean and smooth using just a regular, unpowered tooth brush. This sonic care thing allows you to get in there and just rub out all of that bad food and placque gick that wishes to sit and decay in the tiny crevices in the nether regions of your cheeks, teeth and gums. For this reason alone, I heartily and unreservedly recommend that you purchase this or the earlier version of this toothbrush. You won't be sorry; althogh, your dental surgeon may have slight regrets.Customer Review: It really did clean as advertised.
Summary: 4 Stars
Is It the best toothbrush? Only an independent lab would know, but by my experience of 4yrs with the original Sonicare has done wonders for my teeth! Recomended by my dentist, it has performed beyond my expectations. It really did clean as advertised. This was very important for me as I have a very painful form of neuropathy/nerve disease, so it hurts to hold or manipulate a regular toothbrush,Sonicare allows me to effectively clean my teeth and tongue.Yes you do need to clean the tongue, just don't gag yourself.
My dentist had me coming in every 3mo for cleaning and that wasn't getting it. Now I go once a year and there isn't much to clean. It's amazing the difference! My teeth stay whiter, my breath fresher and no sign of gum disease at 56 yo. Thats for a person who can't hold a brush without pain.(Great for people with arthritis, MS, or kids who don't understand how to brush.)
The timer is a great idea! One reviewer complained about having to wait. Just ask any dentist it takes that much time to adequatly message the gums, a very important part of brushing.
CAUTION: As with any electric brush, you can overbrush causing premature wear to the suface of your teeth. Erosion is the term used by dentist. So if you use any brush and your dentist remarks about erosion on exam, your over brushing. Back off on the pressure, it does not take much pressure to clean effectively with Sonicare.
If there is a better brush buy it, but my experience shows the original Sonicare works great! (The heads do get expensive)Customer Review: For a product as expensive as this...
Summary: 2 Stars
We have owned 3 Sonicare toothbrushes; each one wears out after about 15 months of use. What happens is the timer or the on / off switch seems to go bad. The effect is the unit shuts off after about 30 seconds of use; holding down the on / off switch buys another 10 seconds or so; then 5 seconds; then nothing.For a product as expensive as this, stay away unless replacing it every 15 months is within your plan as it does do a good job cleaning your teeth.
Customer Review: The toothbrush vibrated very weakly yet made a very noisy rattling sound.
Summary: 3 Stars
The toothbrush that came with the Sonicare Elite did not work properly after only 3 months. The toothbrush vibrated very weakly yet made a very noisy rattling sound. Hopefully, the replacement toothbrush that I bought will last at least 6 months.Customer Review: Even after the first night of usage...
Summary: 5 Stars
I had purchased this model from a recommendation of friend/dentist after being quite unhappy with another electric toothbrush purchase. Even after the first night of usage, I noticed a difference in the cleanliness of my teeth.
My kids, who both have a mouthful of braces, use this toothbrush as well and both love it. Their orthodontist has even made comments on how clean their teeth were. That's enough to make any parent happy.
