This is my second Sonicare toothbrush. Like the first, it's the best for keeping your teeth clean. Unlike the first, the head design allows water to leak inside the unit. This does not affect the battery but red mold does grow on the interior. You must keep the head removed from the unit when not in use but ultimately Phillips/Sonicare needs to step up to the plate, recall the heads and replace them with a water-resistant design. I liked the first brush head better so they should just go back t o that. This only happened after Phillips bought sonicare so cost-cutting is probably the culprit. So, Phillips, was it worth it?

We replaced an Oral B electric that we had used for years. I bought this because it was supposed to be the best. Immediately I noticed that the way the toothbrush was made, it was going to allow water inside. After we use it and sit it on the counter, it will leak water back out of its body for a long time. After a few weeks I took the brush top off and found mold inside. The oral B that we had was sealed and never did this. I liked this set because of the two units so that we would not have to change heads. This is a total rip off and not safe because it will create mold inside the brush head.

While I agree with water getting in the handle, I can't complain. My check-ups have been wonderful. My teeth always feel like I have just come from the dentist, and it sure makes regular cleanings a breeze. I tell everyone about my Sonicare!

I love my Sonicare Essence Toothbrush and the 2 pk was a good deal. I just bought it and have only used it once but from what I can tell, its a winner. My older Sonicare toothbrush lasted 7 years; I hope this last that long as well. The brushes don't last as long as they use to according to the recommended change date. Also, my old toothbrush had the quad-pacer and this doesn't appear to have an alert that tells me to move my toothbrush to another quad area of my mouth.

This was my 2nd Sonicare toothbrush system, a step or two more advanced than the 1st one, but both do an excellent job! My teeth really look fantastic, especially considering that I smoke (regularly) and drink coffee (several lg.cups daily) of the Starbucks: Espresso, Dark Italian or their French Roast Coffee. Both smoking and drinking coffee leave nastey stains on your teeth. I had braces when I was young so as an adult I try to keep my mouth looking clean and white, so I make it worth while t o have had braces. (What good are nice, straight teeth if they are yellowed or browned? UGH!) The Sonicare system really gives your mouth a thorough brushing in half the time I took with my regular toothbrush...plus, with the reg. toothbrush I often pressed to hard (trying to remove all the stains and do a good job...)and wore my gums down on the bottom. With the Sonicare, you needent press hard, in fact, they recommend just a light circular type movements and to also brush your gums as well. It IS the BEST Electric/rechargeable, Toothbrush System on the Market for the money. Depending upon your "needs" or "wants" there are several different models. I have this one, just with one speed, that will notify you when you've finshed that quadrant of your mouth, and it's time to move on to the next. After 2 mins. it will shut off. I often will repeat it an extra time in the morning, to make sure my teeth look their best. My Dentists also noticed a difference when I converted to the Sonicare System, as well as my friends! Definately a good investment IF you care about your teeth OR what you look like. P.S. I NEVER had an problems with water or MOLD collecting in my toothbrushes and I've been using the Sonicare Systems for over 10 yrs. now. (What did those other reviewers do with it, take it into the bathtub with them or go scuba diving with it? PLUS, Sonicare also makes a Sanitizer, that you use weekly for your toothbrushes, IF one feels it's necessary!

I've had the oral-b product for many years and made the switch to this product and have been delighted. I have great clean teeth and no mold on or inside the unit. I do rinse the brush head thoroughly and no water collects inside the unit.My dentist thanks me for buying this product as did my wife when I bought one for her.-j

I agree that this product has an essential design flaw. Due to the water retention (the brush is hollow on the inside) it collects disgusting mold all the time. I've had this brush now for probably 3 years and I find myself spending a lot of money on replacement brush heads - probably one every 8 weeks. Once a week I soak the entire brush head in hydrogen peroxide and I use Q-tips to clean out the inside parts of the brush. All in all a waste of money and I think it is smarter to spend another 150 USD on a new and better unit rather than keep buying frequent replacement brush heads.

Past reviews make this product look bad. IT'S NOT. If you Read the care instructions & fallow them you won't have a "disgusting toothbrush"! 3 weeks w/o cleaning... thats gross! I fallow them & mine is perfect, but I'm not lazy either so, if you don't want to spend the 5 seconds it takes to rinse the parts properly then don't purchase this product, expecting all the work to be done for you!
