Opinions

This is an excerpt of a user review for the Sonicare Elite 7300 taken from ePinions.com:


I've only had occasion to use this once. It's an unreal sensation. I had another powered toothbrush that went WHIRRRWHIRRRWHIRRR... The Sonicare is in a class by itself. It's MUSICAL it's moving so fast... Ok, so it's only one note (some harmonic of 31khz), but it's so pleasant. The way my mouth felt afterward is absolutely unattainable with anything else short of a trip to the dentist.

It's a little on the expensive side, but if you auction-hunt, you should be able to find one in the $70-80 range (which is what you'll pay for the base model down at the local grocery/drug store).

I've seen people write a bit about not having an option for a dual charger... The charge lasts a couple weeks! Not having a dual charger is a non-issue if you think about it like a *toothbrush*. Get two, put the charger someplace inconspicuous, Charge when you need to, then put the cover on the bristles and throw it in the drawer with the toothpaste...or in the toothbrush holder...Just like you always have. =)
