Sonicare HX3551/02 Xtreme e3000 Power Toothbrush, Orange
Amazon.com Product Description
The Sonicare Extreme e3000 Power Toothbrush is the first sonic, battery-operated toothbrush designed specifically for teens and preteens. Stylish, powerful and portable, the Extreme e3000 delivers all the oral health benefits of other Sonicare toothbrushes, with a special emphasis on improving the brushing habits of younger users. Safe, comfortable, and effective, even for those with braces or brackets, the e3000 encourages healthy oral hygiene habits for life. 
The Extreme e3000 for preteens and teens. |  | #1 Recommended brand by U.S. dental professionals |  | Better check-ups – Guaranteed!

Two-minute timer ensures dentist recommended brushing time. |  | Uses two AA alkaline batteries (included). |  | Safe for use with braces. | |
Patented Technology and Dynamic Fluid Action
The e3000 incorporates the insights of dental professionals concerned with improving brushing habits of young people, and it can help make a significant difference in oral health in only a few minutes a day. With results backed by over 85 published studies, Sonicare is a name you can trust to be effective. Like all Sonicare toothbrushes, the e3000 was inspired by dental equipment and creates a fluid and dynamic cleaning action. A series of tiny but powerful waves dislodge plaque that isn't normally reachable by either a manual brush or the oscillating and rotating movements of other power brushes. In fact, the patented technology behind the e3000's cleaning action can actually make it easier to clean plaque below the gum line. The bristles on the e3000 play an important role, too. Their high velocity movement results in direct contact with each tooth to cover more area in less time. These bristles are also designed to be extra gentle on teeth and gums. For added convenience, the e3000 comes with two AA batteries and offers a long battery life of about six weeks, so it's ideal for overnight trips or vacations. Proven to Deliver Brushing Compliance
Sometimes preteens and teens resisted brushing, either because it's uncomfortable or because it takes too much effort to achieve real results. But the e3000 is teen-tested and approved, and has been proven to encourage teens to continue regular healthy brushing habits. In fact, in clinical tests, subjects brushed measurably longer with the e3000 than with a manual toothbrush. Easy and comfortable to use, thanks to the contoured brush head, the e3000 also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off after the two-minute dentist recommended brushing time. Most importantly, the e3000 is highly effective; studies show that it removes more plaque than using other toothbrushes. And thanks to Sonicare's no risk, 100-percent satisfaction guarantee, your teen has everything to gain with better dental check-ups. Improve Overall Health
The e3000 can help make a difference in your teen's health now, while setting a good foundation for later in life. It's vital to start good oral hygiene early, not only to help prevent cavities, but also to maintain overall wellness. In fact, recent studies prove that maintaining healthy teeth and gums has a positive impact on other health considerations. For instance, research shows that there is often a connection between periodontal disease and heart disease, suggesting that consistent oral hygiene at-home care can help prevent health problems down the road. The e3000 comes with a two-year limited warranty.

 Makes mouths happy! August 22, 2008
I use my PHilips Sonicare 3 times daily and I love it. It is much easier than the standard toothbrush, and leaves your teeth feeling great!
 Compared both models, e3000 a bomb (not "the" bomb, but "a" bomb) August 15, 2008

Too many reviews;
I'll do this one in Haiku!
Let's dive into it.
Saw all prior views
of Sonicare customers
Amazon provides.
Key to the debate:
whether cheaper is better,
or price wins the day.
Higher on dollars --
e7300 ("e seventy-three hundred") --
link given below.
Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Then there is this brush.
Cheaper, with features to match
(save only a few).
We bought both brushes,
one each for my wife and me.
Experimented.
Used both Sonicares.
Brushed ev'ry night, she and I.
Same treatment, same care.
Endlessly we sparred.
Three months later, here we are.
One emerged victor.
Three months was too much --
for the cheaper brush was crushed.
Suddenly it died.
No water damage,
no mishandling, no neglect.
It just died -- kaput!
Here is my advice:
for relability
shun the cheaper brush.
Yet consider this:
THAT costs three times more than THIS.
It should give you pause.
Seems the math is thus:
THREE times failed before we must
declare one the best.
For is this not true:
fail three times before I do
end up losing out?
The price of one though
more reliable, cannot
beat the other's cost.
Friend, it's up to you.
Buy the best or try for two;
Less than three duds wins!

I read some of the reviews before buying this Xtreme e3000. Phillips must have made improvements because I have used it over a month now and no wear or corrosion evident. I consider it a good value compared to the other more pricey models.
long-term review -- fantastic product if you take care of it July 19, 2008

Great product, and there's no problem with the batteries if you take some minimal care. Read on...
I'm a traveling consultant, and I've had two of these 3000-series toothbrushes over more than a hundred trips over the past two years -- only because the first was damaged during a trip to India. I stopped using my previous regular Sonicare unit because these work very very well, and with a pair of rechargeables, I get the benefit of both worlds.
Power and performance -- The brush head action feels the same as my older Sonicare. This is to say, strong and thorough with no complaints at all. The 3000 has a 2min timer and not the quadpacer control, but I don't miss it. As set of alkaline batteries lasts me for a month or more, while 2300mah NiMH AA's last 1-2 weeks between charges.
Maintenance -- The skreechy complaints from previous reviewers about the battery compartment leaking water and destroying batteries are nonsense. Let's get real here: the 3000 is not the same design as the sealed-cell Sonicare units, and the fact that it has electrical contacts in an open-able compartment is not a design flaw (as some have declared). In fact, I find this unit to be quite well-designed and simple, but it does need a little bit of care. Anyone who has used an underwater camera case or gone diving already knows how to take care of water gaskets, but for the uninitiated: Dry gaskets do not provide a perfect seal on *any* product. In order to seal out water, the battery compartment gasket needs to be prepared before the first use, by swabbing a little bit of Vaseline or similar on all sides of the gasket surface. This will eventually degrade the gasket (lithium grease would be more appropriate), but it's worked fine for more than a year on this last one. If I were hostile, I would take away a star because Philips/Sonicare should provide a small packet of gasket grease in the box, but other than that, it works perfectly after lots and lots of use.
Great item! July 12, 2008
After thinking about buying one of these to replace my normal toothbrush I bit at this one because of its lower price. There really is a noticeable difference! My teeth feel smoother and cleaner after brushing than with my old brush.
I have not had any problems with water intrusion, but I've been careful about not soaking the thing. I've also only had it about a month.
Overall I'm very happy with the product and would buy it again.
