Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite 7500 Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: What a buzz!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this toothbrush on the recommendation of my periodontist. It seems to be doing a very good job of cleaning (according to my dental hygienist), and my gums feel great. The battery charger appears to be intelligent, which should make for good battery life, but I can't be sure with only a couple of months of experience with it.
Three small drawbacks:
1. The toothbrush has a timer that is supposed to be programmable, but I can't figure out how to change it. It shuts off before I'm done, so I have to start it again.
2. The top of the unit accumulates moisture and toothpaste that need to be cleaned out every 2-3 days.
3. The buzzing action numbs my lips, especially when I'm searching for the switch to turn it off. The sensation is not entirely unpleasant, though.
I didn't consider any of these drawbacks serious enough to dampen my rating of 5 out of 5.
Customer Review: Works wonders....
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW!
Just picked one of these up the other day at Costco. I have been using a Crest Spinbrush for the last two years or so. Recently, Crest stopped shipping replacement heads for their Spinbrush series due to quality concerns. I went looking for a replacement.
All I can say about the Sonicare is that if you haven't tried one, you have no idea how awesome this thing is. It is completeley different than any kind of brushing you have ever done before. I was surprised at first that the instructions say not to scrub or push down any harder than a fingertip grip when brushing....but that's all it takes! Just place it on each tooth 1-2 seconds and you'll feel like you just had your teeth professionaly cleaned.
Yes, you can buy a $1 toothbrush and have clean teeth. But for those that care just a little more about their oral health it is well worth EVERY penny. You won't be disappointed.
Customer Review: Sonicare is the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sonicare toothbrush is an outstanding product. I've had my Elite 7500 for about 2 years and have had virtually no problems with it. The quadpacer works perfectly, I've become so used to the 30 second timer, I know exactly when it is about to beep. The whole unit is totally waterproof, no electrical contacts to become corroded. This product is first class and worth every penny. Make sure you buy the kit with the travel case, as I've seen dentists sell them without the case.
Shop around for the best price for replacement brushes though.
The brush heads last maybe 2 months max, based on twice a day usage so costs of brushes would be about $75.00 a year - that really adds up. I do wish the brush heads had different stiffness though as I prefer a stiffer bristle. When I switched from manual to Sonicare brushing I was disappointed that the brushes were a bit softer than the manual brushes.
Customer Review: Feels like a professional cleaning
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a Braun electric brush user for about five years when I tried the Sonicare. It was a gift, and I was skeptical. In fact, I had tried a friend's non-Elite Sonicare in the past and did not like it. But this brush is far superior than anything I have ever used before. Even after two brushings, my teeth felt as good as after a professional cleaning. Now, after using this brush for six months, my hygienist tells me my gum measurements are down from 4.5mm to 3mm -- a big improvement! This brush is expensive, but it's definitely worth the money.
The quad timer is a great feature and keeps you brushing for the full two minutes. The one problem with this brush is that it tickles your gums like crazy when you first start using it. It comes with a starter mode to ramp up the brush speed over the first 15 brushings. I still had a slightly hard time starting up with it, though.
Customer Review: Great Product plus Great Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I have used Sonicare toothbrushes for about eight years. My hygenist is bored with me now since there's not much for her to do when i arrive for my twice-a-year cleaning. The days of her chipping and scraping around on my teeth are history. Anyway, after all those years the toothbrush handles finally began to wear...weren't holding a charge well anymore. So, we upgraded to one of the newer models, which ARE even better than the originals. Then, about three months in, my husbands' began to sound really loud, and the vibration of the brush wasn't right either. So he called Sonicare customer service, explained what was going on. They apologized for the problem and said they'd send a new brush handle right away. Sure enough, one week later the UPS guy delivered it to our door. Simple as that.
Wonderful product from a great company.
