Discussion
Before I bought this brush, I read the 1- and 2-star reviews complaining about corrosion, and the one reviewer who cautioned against reviewing too soon after purchase. Well, I've been sitting on this review for more than two years. No water intrusion, no corrosion, no need to wait any longer before posting.

After the first use, I was convinced. After the first 2-minute session, my teeth were as clean as from an office cleaning.

The e3000 is intended for teens and preteens, thus it has a slightly smaller brushhead. This makes it less prone to bump against teeth (which IS disconcerting!) and the small size encourages keeping the brush moving. There's no need for 30-second reminder beeps, because you will have touched all surfaces "equally" if you keep it moving the whole time.

The toothbrush uses a strong permanent magnet at the bottom end of the brushhead assembly. This magnet is deflected in a resonant mode by an electromagnet inside the handle, and torsion waves are sent to the head. It's efficient and there are no rotating parts. Regular alkaline batteries last at least a month; my next set will be NiMH rechargeables. The handle is larger and heavier than might be expected, probably to counteract the oscillations of the head. The buzzing is not at all unpleasant, as I also had feared.

Before switching to the Sonicare I had used the Crest SpinBrush for 10 years, and the last straw was when I rinsed off the SpinBrush and black flakes fell out into the sink, and kept coming out as I rinsed and shook. I'd been cleaning out the crud that I could see, but what I hadn't counted on was the stuff that I couldn't see! The openings in the SpinBrush accumulate crud, and since you can't see it, you don't think about it. My breath is not as nasty since I started using the Sonicare and ditched the SpinBrush.

I've applied a small amount of clear silicone seal to the flexible boot which tries (not entirely successfully) to seal the top of the brush. A couple of dabs seals the inside of the top chamber, and the tiny amount of water that gets inside that chamber does no harm. There's only one place for crud to hide, and that's between the torsion shaft and the rubber boot where it emerges from the cap. The brush head gets rinsed off with every use, and there are _no_ crevices in it. After two years, it just might be time for a new brushhead... or maybe not.

Reading through the reviews here on Amazon before purchase was very helpful, and it seems that all those who experienced early failures had water intrusion. The addition of clear silicone to the marginally sealed areas (and if you must, silicone grease to the O-ring) fixes this one design weakness. Make this modification yourself and enjoy it for a long time!

Patented Technology and Dynamic Fluid Action

The e3000 incorporates the insights of dental professionals concerned with improving brushing habits of young people, and it can help make a significant difference in oral health in only a few minutes a day. With results backed by over 85 published studies, Sonicare is a name you can trust to be effective. Like all Sonicare toothbrushes, the e3000 was inspired by dental equipment and creates a fluid and dynamic cleaning action. A series of tiny but powerful waves dislodge plaque that isn't normally reachable by either a manual brush or the oscillating and rotating movements of other power brushes. In fact, the patented technology behind the e3000's cleaning action can actually make it easier to clean plaque below the gum line. The bristles on the e3000 play an important role, too. Their high velocity movement results in direct contact with each tooth to cover more area in less time. These bristles are also designed to be extra gentle on teeth and gums. For added convenience, the e3000 comes with two AA batteries and offers a long battery life of about six weeks, so it's ideal for overnight trips or vacations.

Proven to Deliver Brushing Compliance

Sometimes preteens and teens resist brushing, either because it's uncomfortable or because it takes too much effort to achieve real results. But the e3000 is teen-tested and approved, and has been proven to encourage teens to continue regular healthy brushing habits. In fact, in clinical tests, subjects brushed measurably longer with the e3000 than with a manual toothbrush. Easy and comfortable to use, thanks to the contoured brush head, the e3000 also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off after the two-minute dentist recommended brushing time. Most importantly, the e3000 is highly effective; studies show that it removes more plaque than using other toothbrushes. And thanks to Sonicare's no risk, 100-percent satisfaction guarantee, your teen has everything to gain with better dental check-ups.

Improve Overall Health

The e3000 can help make a difference in your teen's health now, while setting a good foundation for later in life. It's vital to start good oral hygiene early, not only to help prevent cavities, but also to maintain overall wellness. In fact, recent studies prove that maintaining healthy teeth and gums has a positive impact on other health considerations. For instance, research shows that there is often a connection between periodontal disease and heart disease, suggesting that consistent oral hygiene at-home care can help prevent health problems down the road.

The e3000 comes with a two-year limited warranty.
