 As a first time buyer, I highly recommend it! November 17, 2008
I don't really have a basis for comparison with any other power toothbrushes but I think it would be fair to say that this thing is among the best. I have been using the Sonicare essence e5500 for about 1.5 years now and my teeth have never been so clean. I havent had any cavities in that time and I think my teeth look even whiter than before. The brush is very easy to setup and use, first time users will feel funny after using it but you will get used to it. Make sure you take the time to thoroughly brush your teeth. All in all a great product at a great price (I paid about 60 on clearance).

Refreshingly Clean Mouth October 16, 2008
I love my electric - sonic brush!! It's very easy to use and my mouth feels refreshingly clean after brushing... much more so than with a manual tooth brush. Also, I usually floss before I brush but just to test the efficiency of this product I've been flossing after I brush and there's usually nothing between my teeth. I'm really impressed... this is a great buy!!
 Clean Teeth October 15, 2008
This is my second Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I used the previous one for a handfull of years, until the battery died. This Essence e5500 model is a generation newer, and fits my need precisely. Using the Sonicare is like having your teeth cleaned by an hygenist (almost) every day. I love them. The Essence model has a smaller head that makes reaching into your mouth easier. It has all the bells and whistles I want, which is a light to tell when its charged, and a beeper to give me four, 30-second meassurements during brushing. Get one.
 Planned Obsolescence September 27, 2008

Here are two things Phillips will not tell you about their Sonicare toothbrushes and heads.
1) The collar that holds the toothbrush to the handle will disintegrate in a couple of months. That's what prompted this review, because they would not replace mine after it fell apart two weeks after purchasing a replacement.
They manufacturer these things to disintegrate so you will continue to buy replacements - planned obsolescence. However, I suspect their China supplier is skimping on the plastic specifications and they fall apart in weeks instead of months. (Do you think China would really do that?)
2) UNPLUG your base until you need to charge the toothbrush. If you charge it up overnight, then unplug the base, the toothbrush will work for four brushings per day for about a month. Then, when it signals or stops, plug the base in to charge it.
This method will allow your toothbrush to work for five years or longer. If you keep the base plugged in all the time, these NiCad batteries develop memory and will stop functioning after 18 to 24 months.
A bonus, if you travel a lot as I do, you don't have to pack the charger. Just make sure it's topped off and you're good for a month's vacation.
