Sonicare Electric Toothbrushes

On this page, we will be talking a bit more on the Sonicare Elite; of it's strengths and its weaknesses.

The sonicare toothbrush uses Superior Cleaning Technology by using powerful cleaning to reach hard-to-reach areas for better plaque removal between teeth.

This electric tooth brush generates  high frequency bristle motion and high amplitude, creating dynamic cleaning action that forces fluid deep between your teeth and along the gum line. The way it brushes the teeth is gentler than a manual or an oscillating toothbrush. The power of dynamic cleaning action with the specially designed bristle orientation, results in deep cleaning of hard to reach spots. Sonicare achieves its bristle velocity through a combination of high frequency and high amplitude bristle motion.

It includes a larger and smaller brush. The smaller brush is useful for people with small mouths.

For the first 14 uses, to help you get used to an electric toothbrush, it gradually increases the power over the 14 uses. Like Oral-B's more expensive electric toothbrushes, the Sonicare Elite e9500 also has a timer. Many of the reviews found are positive, but some people say that the rubber cover on the on-off button has a tendency to break.

"I have researched the Sonicare toothbrushes and found the best value to be this new model, I am very happy with it. I read all the reviews for the other models, held them in my hand at the Department store and found the only difference between this and the higher priced models is in the style of the handle and the fancy lights showing the remaining battery life.

Also the Elite models have the beep every 30 seconds during the 2 minute timer. This model has all the features I need: Easy reach brush(Uses same replacement heads as the Elite models), 2-minute timer. 

Since these things only last a couple of years anyway, what's the sense of spending another $30 or more for features you don't need to clean your teeth. Buy this toothbrush and use the money you saved to buy replacement heads." Review by Robert P. Fredericks from Amazon.com.
