 Works Great July 8, 2010
D. Hartzell (WA United States)
It gets teeth clean - much better than a manual toothbrush. Having the timed operation ensures that you brush long enough.
As good as the others July 7, 2010

After reading too many reviews on Amazon, I purchased a couple replacements for my old sonicare which died after many years: an Oral B Professional Care SmartSeries 4000 for $104 and a Sonicare Essence 5300 for $50-60. After 1 month of using the Oral B, I find sonication is simply superior to the oral B rotating brushes. I read all the reviews on Amazon -- the only negative re:Essence 5300 is the head design that allows water to get into the unit and get nasty --if not cleaned regularly. Well --if you unscrew the head regulary and rinse --no problem. I stayed away from the Sonicare Flex because of bad reviews of the head flying off. The head is never flying off of my 5300 --it screws on tightly. Save your money and buy the $50-60 Essence -- it is reliable --and don't forget to unscrew it and rinse once a week.
 Great manual toothbrush July 7, 2010

The Sonicare Essence series e5300 is a great manual toothbrush, not sonic. I say this because when it completely dies anywhere from 2-6 months from date of purchase, you will be using it as a manual toothbrush. I use mine in the shower. It fits great in my hand and has some weight to it (from the non-replaceable dead battery) so it's not as cheap-feeling as a flimsy plastic toothbrush. The bristles are also nice and compact and reach fairly well. The only downside is the price. At around fifty bucks it's a little steep for a manual toothbrush, but hey, you get what you pay for right? The build quality is way better than a cheap six dollar plastic toothbrush and replacement heads are only about twenty-five bucks per two pack. Find comfort in knowing that when yours dies (and it will) it makes a great manual toothbrush. Also, you can cut the electrical cord off of the now useless charger and use it for a cool-looking toothbrush holder! The only reason I gave it one star is because it is supposed to be a sonic toothbrush, but oh well. It still kicks butt as a manual one!
Black mold may grow inside your toothbrush July 7, 2010

A serious design flaw allows for water to leak into the compartment between the toothbrush and the base. I opened mine to replace the head and clean it out and it had so much black mold in it that I am astounded that this product has not been recalled. Black mold is very dangerous so definitely skip buying this toothbrush.

This is my second Sonic toothbrush. I bought it, because my old one (at least 10 years old) is not holding it charge long enough for a 10 day trip. New one passed with flying colors. I'm 72 and my teeth are all my own, very white and I believe it is because I have been using the Sonic toothbrush. I bought my latest one through Amazon, because they had what I wanted at the best price.
