Gently Cleans Teeth with Sonic Technology

Removing up to two times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, the Philips Sonicare Essence 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. The Essence is gentle enough to use on veneers, braces, implants, and sensitive teeth.

Contoured Bristles and Soft-Grip Handle for Comfort

With 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 Brushing

You 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 Charge

Because 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.

293 customers mention173 positive120 negative

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the toothbrush. Some mention that it does a great job of cleaning and their teeth feel almost as good as they do after a regular brushing. The lighter weight makes it more comfortable to use when brushing, while others say that it felt a bit tickly in the mouth the first few tries and was really annoying. It can also make sensitive teeth a little worse, although most would eventually get used to it.

Customers are not satisfied with the charging of the toothbrush. Some mention that the battery life is great, but it takes two full days to charge the battery. They are disappointed in the charger, and the toothbrush starts slowly for those not used to it. The charging base is somewhat hinky, and it slows down a little after one use.

"...operated my other 110v electronics just fine -- however, my Sonicare would NOT charge...." Read more

"...and sensitive that it must be at *just such* an angle or it will not charge at all and I will find myself resentfully brushing with my old..." Read more

Good value and gunk solution

Good value and gunk solution
Hey folks, it’s a $20 Sonicare toothbrush - what a deal! I checked the price at Sam’s and it was $130 for two, or $65 each. This might be an older style but very similar to the one I have been happily using for years. What I received was the Essence, model #HX5611/01 which came with a standard brush head and a charger base. It is made in China and has a NiMH battery. It does have a two minute timer only. It comes with a two year warranty that can be extended by by six months if you register online.There is the problem of the gunkiness that develops between the brush head and the handle. It is alarming when you change the brush head, but I’ve always cleaned it with a Qtip and moved on. However, now that I have a new unit I wanted to see if there was a better solution. I read and tried the tip about cutting a finger off a latex glove and slipping it over the bottom of the head to cover the gap at the screw on connection joint (I call this the condom approach). Well, it is cheap, but difficult to do successfully (I tried three times) and it looks a bit tacky. It works until the severed glove finger (aka condom) starts creeping up on the brush head. However, I believe I have a better option.Like any type of water-related connection (think garden hose), some type of washer or gasket is needed to seal the connected parts. I have no idea why the Sonicare people don’t provide one, but give this a try. For about $3 you can buy 10 “O” rings at the hardware store. I chose the #30 size which seems to give a snug fit. Unscrew the toothbrush, slip the “O” ring on the handle part to the bottom of the screw threads. Then screw the brush head back on and viola!...a watertight seal. Problem solved and you have enough “O” rings to last a lifetime!I’ve attached a photo showing the different techniques. The Sonicare on the right is my old unit. The new one is the left, still with its severed glove finger condom (green gloves were all I had on hand). I’ve installed the “O” on the older unit for illustration purposes, you should be able to see the black “O” ring installed between the head and the handle. Another “O” ring is displayed on the old toothbrush so you can see what it looks like out of the package. Good luck!
