Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been using Sonicare toothbrushes for about 10 years now. I'm one of those people who gets just about every dental problem you can (grinding teeth, soft teeth, on and off of meds that affect them) so I will do whatever I can to protect them best I can. That has included using these brushes. They have a 2 minute timer, because that is a lot longer than you think it is (while brushing your teeth anyway). I highly recommend these brushes to anyone as your teeth tend to feel cleaner that when using a manual brush (probably thanks to the aforementioned time issue). The brush I had at home when this one arrived was one of the e-series brushes. I was a bit leery of getting a different version, with different brush heads. Now that I have both, I'd definitely recommend this version over the e-series. I'm including a picture of the two together (the one on the left being the e-series, the one on the right is this model I am reviewing. The two main differences are the charger and how the brush heads connect to the base. The brush heads - This model beats the e-series brush. - The e-series brush heads are screwed into place. The threads on the brush are so small in some areas that even a q-tip cannot clean it easily. Also there is a well at the top of the brush that holds the e-series piece inside. Gunk also gets into there. It's not pretty but more importantly seems like there are too many spots to hold onto anything nasty that gets on it. - This model has a flat surface on both the brush (minus the piece the brushes snap onto) and the brush heads. There are fewer places to collect water, toothpaste, etc. Wipes down so much easier. Charging - The two models tie. - The e-series has a larger charging base, with a spot underneath to wind the cord into for storage. To charge you set the brush base onto a flat surface that has sort of little walls around it to hold the brush into place. - This model has a little nub and you line it up with the groove on the brush and snap it into place. A much smaller charging surface means no place to store the cord. They seem to be the same quality when it comes to what matter the most - cleaning your teeth. Both do an equally good job at that.
