Gently Cleans Teeth with Sonic TechnologyRemoving up to two times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, the Philips Sonicare Essence Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush uses powerful Sonic technology to clean teeth with up to 31,000 strokes per minute. These sweeping motions drive fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth and along your gum line, resulting in a cleaner, healthier mouth. The Essence is gentle enough to use on veneers, braces, implants, and sensitive teeth. |
Contoured Bristles and Soft-Grip Handle for ComfortWith smooth, contoured bristles that correspond to the natural shape of your teeth, this Sonicare toothbrush delivers a thorough, comfortable brushing experience. Its angled neck provides optimal reach for the bristles, which have extra-soft rounded ends that go deep between teeth to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis. The blue soft -touch grip makes the handle easy to hold and maneuver while brushing. |
Easy-Start and Smartimer Simplify BrushingYou need only to apply light pressure when guiding this toothbrush over your teeth--the Essence will do the work for you through its high speed bristle motion and dynamic cleaning action. The easy-start option gently increases the toothbrush's power over the first 12 uses to help you adjust to using a power toothbrush. The Smartimer feature sets brushing time to two minutes, the time recommended by dental professionals, and shuts the toothbrush off after that cycle. |
Two Weeks of Power on a Single ChargeBecause the Essence can last up to two weeks between charges, you can leave its charger at home for your travels. A soft travel case and hygienic travel cap are included for convenience. An indicator on the brush displays remaining battery life and blinks when you need to recharge. The Philips Sonicare Essence is backed by a full 2-year warranty and a 90-day money-back guarantee. |

Through using this brush, I have noticed (no placebo effect here) that a considerable amount of plaque has been removed. Seeing this really made me happy and my teeth were indeed more white. Using this brush does not damage nor cause your gums to bleed. If anything, it feels like a slight massage on the gums. Nothing harmful
When you first use this brush, and if it's your first time using a battery-powered brush, you're going to feel a lot of noise in your mouth, traveling up to your head. This is normal and will subdue after a week of using the brush. At this point, I can't exactly recall what that feels like
I read a few comments where people were complaining that this model brush did not feature the "30 second beep" interval, but a very simple way to counter that is just to use your smart phone as the timer. I do this every time I brush my teeth and the brush and timer are always spot on of each other. If you try to wing it without a proper timer, you might get an "uneven" sensation feel. It's best to get a timer and brush it that way so each quadrant gets an equal time.
The travel bag, for me, is convenient when I sleep over relative houses and the bag is water resistant.
The bad news is about this brush is the battery is sealed in the unit. Now, we all know batteries will die out sooner or later so once the battery can't hold a charge, you will need to think about replacing it (and recycling the battery). Depending on the battery, it could be a few years before this happens (I'm sure there is probably a clever way of opening this up and replacing the battery, but I imagine not everyone can be so crafty. If I see or figure out a way to do this, I'll possibly post an update on it). Philips recommends leaving the brush on the charger when it's not in use so I am going to assume the battery does not suffer from the "memory effect", but I only charge it when the "low-battery" indication comes on, and for me, that's a week (sometimes I brush multiple times a day).
I would also going on Philips site and downloading the user-manual for this. It has some good tips for using this brush that I can't remember right now.
Overall, fantastic brush, and I can not go back to a manual brush again!
My teeth feel much cleaner, the buildup is completely gone and it's smooth as if I just went in for a cleaning.
The unit itself is pretty big and the head does not pop off easy, so having multiple heads for each person in your house is optimistic at best (for the price, you can buy a unit for each person). The charger base is small and works well.
I only have a few complaints: I wish there was a compact design. I charge this thing every minute except the 4 I'm using it, why does the battery need to be so big? I also wish the base would accommodate one more unit (not charging, just hold it). That way I could buy just another base and switch out when it needs to be charged. Also, a quick release top shouldn't be a "feature" of a higher priced model. Lastly, I should be able to switch out the brush at will, not the entire top. There's no way I should have to pay $10 per brush when only the tip has worn out.
It's all still worth it. I'm buying another one for the wife and just setting it on the counter. Clean teeth are worth the costs.
