Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare HX3351/02 Xtreme Battery Operated Toothbrush
Customer Review: Absolute Garbage
Summary: 1 Stars
My old Sonicare died after and few years and I had tried using several different brush types, manual and powered, attempting to find a cheap replacement. After a less than stellar annual check-up, I decided to just buy another Sonicare.
I saw this model and could not believe how little it cost. My old one was over a hundred dollars. It worked great too. I saw no difference other than the lack of the quadpacer timer thing. Unfortunately, it died in less than two weeks. And no, it was not the batteries, the thing is just dead.
I suggest you buy a rechargable 4100 for forty or fifty dollars. I have been using one for a few months now with no issues. It has the great cleaning action of a Sonicare at a reasonable price. Same as with the cheap battery powered model, the brush turns off after two minutes but does not have the quadpacer or any other fancy features.

I have been looking to purchase a sonicare since using my boyfriends sonicare, exceot in my apartment I do not have a socket to plug the thing in, I have been using the Oral-B battery operated ones for ages, when I saw this option, OMG I had to try it, how bad could it be? even if it was as good as the Oral-B I still needed a new toothbrush to take to work,
I have since bought another, so I have one at work one at home, they are marvelous, my mouth feels like I just stepped out of the dental office, amazing brush, easy to work with, when you put in the batteries, make sure to look at the bottom of the barrel the +/- signs are at the very bottom and are kindda hard to read, so you need to be careful and not accidently fry the brush, I will write another review after I use this for some time but even if the brush only last a year for 30 bucks? u kidding me? I love it,

A pointer for new owners - rub some petroleum jelly on the black o-ring in the battery cap. That'll keep the ring from leaking, and lubricate it against tearing.
I held out for a long time with an older Sonicare, one with the fat neck and sealed rechargeable batteries. I liked the old one, up until 12 hours wasn't enough to charge between uses. The older model would grow crud under the cap where the brush screws on, the new design LOOKS like it should be worse, but, surprisingly, it stays clean. The slender neck is nicer to work around in your mouth, and it keeps the slobber down.
I love being able to use my own batteries to run this, it's easier to throw a new set of rechargeables at it every week or two than to fight over the bathroom outlet. Without the batteries glued tight, I expect this to last longer than the 2-3 years of other models.
Customer Review: <3 your gums

This is the cheapest way to get the benefits of Sonicare technology. I would highly recommend this as a way to test Sonicare for yourself. I like it so much I am going to buy a more expensive one once these wear out so I can get a built-in rechargable battery. I went with Sonicare because the research seems to point that it is slightly better than Philips at removing plaque.
I can tell that my gums are happier after 2 weeks of regular use. My teeth feel cleaner as well; they don't get (nearly as) purple after drinking red wine. A dentist friend recommended using a power toothbrush and I definitely understand his motivation now.
If you are on the fence, try this and see if you like it. I'm pretty sure you will.
Minus one star for $$ replacement heads. I guess it is the "razer blade business model" but still.

This brush is awesome. I've had mine for well over a year now and it is still going strong. The other reviewers that speak of the water getting into the battery compartment; they are correct, it is a poorly designed watertight compartment and the rubber o-ring does tend to stop sealing correctly after you change the batteries out one or more times. However, I have come up with a very simple solution: when you first get the toothbrush, remove the end cap and lubricate the o-ring with plumbers grease. Granted, I'm sure alot of you do not have plumbers grease handy and if that is the case, petroleum jelly will work just as well. Make sure you apply liberally to the o-ring all the way around and once you place the cap back on, you can wipe any excess from the outside. Voila, now you have a watertight seal that actually seals.
