Excellent Toothbrush October 9, 2008
With only using this product for a little over a month, I can already see a difference in my teeth. My teeth are whiter and feel cleaner after using this brush as opposed to my manual toothbrush. The quadrant timer is great feature also.

This Sonicare electric toothbrush is, simply put, an excellent product. I've been using a Braun (which I believe is the same as Oral B) electric toothbrush for years, and it does not compare with this newest generation of dental hygiene products.
This model comes preset with a step-up program that gradually increases the speed of the brush head over 14 uses until it reaches maximum effectiveness, a feature designed especially to those new to electric toothbrushes. Although I've used an electric toothbrush for years, I decided to try out the pre-programmed sessions to see how it worked. On the first day, the toothbrush sounded like a bee in my mouth; it was gentle, with enough high-speed vibration to clean my teeth better than my old, full-speed Braun. Over the fourteen uses -- I did it in a week, but those new to electric toothbrushes might want to use it only once a day at first -- the brush lost its whine and gradually moved to its final, more authoritative vibration that cleans exceptionally well. Even at maximum power, this toothbrush does not vibrate through my entire skull the way my Braun does.
The coolest part of the Sonicare is the option of selecting different modes. The sensitive teeth setting is more like a mosquito than a bee; although I have sensitive teeth, I find that the regular cleaning doesn't bother me and is more thorough. You may select "Go Care" (a one-minute touch up between regular brushings), "Massage" for the gums, and MaxCare for a 30 second tooth brushing following by a fifteen second gum massage for each quadrant (total time = 3 minutes.) To remind you to switch "quadrants" of your mouth, the pitch changes slightly. After the routine time is up, the toothbrush stops.
First time electric toothbrush users should note the instructions about angling the brush head and moving gently side to side. You do not move the brush much yourself as you would with a traditional tooth brush; otherwise, you'll irritate or even rip your gums. My dentist has always advocated using an electric toothbrush once a day, not twice, with a traditional brush doing the work for the second brushing, although I find that the Sonicare, unlike my old Braun, is gentle enough to use twice. Still, users might not want to throw out their toothbrushes.
The Sonicare comes with a stand charger, one standard brush head, user identification bands, a soft carrying case, and a plastic cap to protect the brush head while traveling. Those who have smaller mouths will want to buy the optional Philips Sonicare Elite (E-Series) Replacement Brush Head, Compact (2-Pack) since it's not easy maneuvering the head behind, say, the front teeth. If you are concerned about sanitizing the heads, you might prefer to buy the version with the sanitizer (Philips Sonicare Flexcare Professional with UV Sanitizer), although you can always buy a sanitizer separately later (Philips Sonicare UV Sanitizer.)
I have only two complaints about this product: you cannot attach it to the wall to keep counter space free, and the automatic stop feature is annoying if I'm not quite done brushing. The inability to mount it on the wall is especially frustrating since the handle is incredibly easy to knock off the charger. Some people might not like the fact that it tickles like the Dickens when you hit the roof of your mouth while on the brushing speeds.
I highly recommend this toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes promote oral health through both cleaner teeth and gum stimulation, and the Sonicare is an exceptional entry into the market.
Also look at Oral-B Pulsonic Power Toothbrush.
