Battery compartment leaks

Do not buy this product based on the reviews of people who have owned this less than a few weeks. After a few weeks, water begins to seep in to the battery compartment during normal usage, which will corrode your batteries, cause them to leak and in turn corrode the battery contacts as well.

I suspect that the poorly designed seal ring is simply planned obsolescence.

Great gift

I bought these for my parents. Your teeth will feel a new clean and you will brush longer. You have to endure the first week of "ticklish" brushing.

Love Sonicare Toothbrushes!!

I recently purchased this Sonicare toothbrush as the previous Sonicare toothbrush I had for 4 years died on me.

I enjoy this Sonicare Toothbrush a lot better than the last one I owned for several reasons:

1) The shape of this toothbrush head is oval and tapered at each end for better cleaning of my teeth. Plus the bristles aren't flat, but tapered which seems to give a better clean. (Verses the rectangular shape of the previous toothbrush head on last Sonicare toothbrush).

2)The neck of this toothbrush is angled forward, which makes it easier to position the toothbrush for optimal cleaning.

3) I also wear braces and really feel that the shape of this toothbrush head cleans thoroughly between the brackets and wire. Even if I didn't wear braces, I feel this toothbrush gives a cleaning. So recommend this toothbrush for people who don't wear braces as well.

4) Strong brushing action of toothbrush head is great too for cleaning teeth.

5) No need to have a toothbrush charger! Instead all you need to do is replace two AA batteries (battery life approximately 6 weeks) and you are ready to go!

Besides, who really wants to wait several hours for their toothbrush to be fully charged once the toothbrush loses it power. Also no need to carry a charger with you when you travel.

6) Great price for $39.99!

The best brush once you replace its stupid ring

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1PR3LNSH8X9K3 I had 3 Sonicare with built-in rechargeable battery. The problem was: the charging time was way too long. If the battery ran out in the morning, it still won't be fully charged when you need to use it at that evening. Very stupid, especially when a family share one charger. They are also way too over priced. Once the built-in battery goes dead, $$$ are gone.

A Sonicare powered by normal AA or AAA batteries had been my dream. This e3000 fulfills my dream and even for much less cost, only $30. No need to mention how convenient this is for travel.

However, an idiot designed the seal that lets water goes in. The solution is to replace the O ring. I bought an 1-1/16 x 15/16 x 1/16 #33 O-ring from my local hardware store. With this ring, the seal is much more tight than before and no more leak. It is made by Danco Company, Concordville, PA 19331, STK NO 35747B, bar code 0 37155 35747 5. This ring has actually the same specs as the original, but somehow it is slightly smaller but thicker, making it perfect for this brush.

Although replacing the ring fixed the problem, but this ring is not the cause of the seal failure. The idiot designer lacks of some very basic mechanics and did not make the sealing shape fully round. The cylinder has two angles, which break the seal with a round ring. Also, the edge is not beveled, making it very difficult to let the ring go in. To let the ring go in, he/she had to use a thinner ring that does not give enough sealing. One of the stupidest designs I have seen so far.

I still give it 5 stars because northing's better than this e3000 yet, especially once the ring is replaced. As far as I know, this is the only AA/AAA powered supersonic brush currently available.

Hopefully the next version will fix such very basic design errors that should not have happened in the first place for a big company like Phillips. I can't blame the designer; where's the CEO who earns billions a year?

I also posted the video to youtube, which looks much better as always. Amazon really should offer better video quality.

Update: after about a year of struggling with the seal, I ended up with a simple and effective solution. O-rings are either to tight to push in the battery cover, or too loose to still get water in. So, I just returned to the stock ring and drilled some 1/16" holes on the battery cover. After every use, put it stand up straight to let water dripping down out. More than 3 months now and still works like a charm.

Best Buy Sonicare use rechargable batteries work great

We've had the Elite Sonicare (over 100 dollars.) The battery is now dying out at 2 years, and there is no fix. This extreme uses the same vibration technology. In fact we are able to use our existing brush heads from the Elite on this new Sonicare Extreme. Like they are identical. The action is identical. Why pay over $100? This is the best brush for the money. And it is as good as the "best" brush. I usually don't switch from quadrant to quadrant every 30 seconds, so I don't find it helpful to have a 30 sec reminder. I was leary when I picked it up, after all it was only 30 bucks. Don't be leary, this is a great brush. I like the idea of using two AA batteries. I'm not sure how long the AA will last. I may use rechargeable. Overall this is a best buy compared to everything out there. The Sonicare is a great brush for keeping your teeth and gums healthy and keeping dental bills down. I've been using this for a year. I am using rechargable batteries and they work great. The charges hold for at least two weeks. I recharge them over night. I like the sony batteries.

Customer Review :

This is something you buy then return with anger.

The closest thing that can be compared with this product is my cellphone, they do vib at almost same level..... maybe i should attach the brush head to my cellphone instead..... if you really need some good sonic toothbrush, get s-200 instead. cost $50 but you won't return it....

A Great Product that Works!

I bought this product over a week ago. I had been without an electric toothbrush for a couple of months since my old old old Sonicare charger died. I couldn't afford to buy another expensive toothbrush so I went for a Vitality. I was skeptical at first but once I started using it, I notice my plague has been reduced drastically... something I couldn't have done by hand brushing. I have been very impressed and happy with this product. In terms of replacement tips, they are readily available at Target and Amazon. They are cheaper than the circular or dual action tips. They are most definitely cheaper than the Sonicare ones.

Great value

for the money. It doesn't brush, actually, it vibrates which took some getting used to.

Rating :

Not very powerful.

I have an Oral B Sonic Complete, which I really like. I bought the Oral B Sonic #S12513 for my daughter in college. It has about half the power of the Sonic Complete, but cost about $90 less, so I guess you get what you pay for.

Nice

I really like this toothbrush. Finding replacement brush heads is turning out to be difficult and expensive when I can.
