Digital camera reviews of Philips Sonicare Essence E5550 Rechargeable Toothbrush System with 2 Handles, 4 Brush Heads, 1 Brush Head Holder, 2 Travel Cases
Digital camera Review: CLean and fresh
Summary: 5 Stars
I had used the Phillips Sonicare before and loved it, so I knew pretty much what to expect. I was a little surprised at how much smaller the heads are but they still do the exact, same wonderful job. Actually it is much lighter and less clunky overall, than the earlier version I had owned. This Sonicare makes my mouth, my gums and my teeth feel so clean. I can feel it when it works free some debris from under the gumline and you feel such relief. If you use toothpaste with baking soda like I do, I can see that my smile looks whiter than before. I don't know why I waited so long to replace the old one that simply wore out, but I am very happy with this one.Digital camera Review: Converted!
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps the highest compliment I can give this product is that it has made me enjoy brushing my teeth. After years of reluctance and thinking it insane to spend this kind of bread when a toothbrush can be had for a couple of bucks, I sprang for it on the recommendation of my dentist. (and incentive via a large coupon from him, provided by the manufacturer to be given to his patients)
I considered myself to be competent at brushing my own teeth, and this product proved me wrong. Previously, my teeth only felt polished-smooth once every six months- after, that is, my dentist visit and professional cleaning. With this, my teeth feel that clean and polished after every single brushing. It is simply amazing.
High Points:
1. This particular kit comes with two bases (the battery part), and two extra brush heads (for four, total), a charging station, and two travel cases that neatly and cleanly store your brush head and base for traveling.
2. Excellent battery life - my battery unit lasts over one week between charges; I don't store my handle on the charger nightly. This is great for travel, as for anything but extended trips I only bring along a fully-charged base and brush head in its handy travel case and leave the charger behind.
3. Soft start feature - this is awesome for newbies such as myself. For the first dozen (If I remember correctly) uses, it operates with slightly reduced power, thereby easing your gums into the experience. As it was, it tickled like crazy; this feature 'conditions' your gums, if you will, and makes it much easier to transition from using a toothbrush.
4. The quadpacer feature is effective. Like any easily trained beast- excepting my cat- I responded very well to the subtle prompts that the toothbrush gives to move to a different quadrant. A split-second pause in the brushing action prompts you to move along. For me, it was always difficult to cover all my teeth equally well, so I love this feature. It is non-intrusive but effective at keeping you focused on how you ought to be brushing. Want to brush longer? No worries- just press the power button and keep on brushing.
5. Charger design - This really appealed to me, as I have a very curious toddler. The charging stand has no prongs, fittings, or other electrical connections in its base. It just presents a nice, boring surface that my toddler shows no interest in. The charging station charges the handle indirectly. This also makes for a cleanable surface.
6. The brush heads are nice and compact and the bristles are soft. Despite this, they are extremely effective at cleaning.
In the end, I had to ask myself what is the value of not having gum disease, cavities, or lost teeth due to inadequate cleaning? My own answer was that it was far, far more than what this unit cost.
Others probably do a much better job at using a toothbrush than I apparently did, but for me this Sonicare is amazing and has resulted nothing short of better oral health. My teeth are cleaner and whiter, my gums are healthier,and I now actually look forward to brushing where before I did not. This skeptic has been convinced. Highly recommended!
Digital camera Review: Dentist recommended it
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical of a toothbrush that costs this much but my dentist recommended the sonicare and I bought the original 5 years ago. Not one cavity since and it's improved my gums. This is from a guy that genetically has not been given the best teeth by my ancestors and has been an issue for most of my family. I bought my parents a sonicare.Digital camera Review: Great deal

Got what I ordered and am very happy with it. Be sure to get the additional charger. We LOVE the Sonicare brushDigital camera Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are in the market for this type of toothbrush I highly recommend this product. You will not believe how good your teeth feel after using this toothbrush. You will not be able to use a regular toothbrush again as your teeth don't feel clean if you do! I have receding gumms and my dentist can see a difference by my using this product. Well worth it!
