 New replacement heads make noise! March 11, 2010
Charles Darwin (New York, N.Y.)
I've been using the Sonicare for many, many years, probably 15 years, when they first came out. I have the Advance handle and Philips no longer makes replacement heads for the Advance handles but instead has a slightly different head called "e-series" that is supposed to fit the Advance handle. I ordered the three pack of the "e-series" and it does fit the original Advance handle but be advised that he makes a louder noise when in use. Apparently, the magnets on the "e-series' don't match what was originally designed for the Advance handles. I called Philips and demonstrated the noise difference over the phone to the technician and even she could tell the significant difference in noise. It's not unbareable by any stretch but is not as comfortable as using the old replacement heads. The technician did not know about the difference in noise, checked with others and then got back to me that, yes, there is a difference in noise. Philips should tell the user about this difference. It's no big deal, but should be disclosed.
What I found interesting also is that the new package says to replace the heads "every 3 months." The old packaging said "every 6 months." When I asked the technician about this and asked if this meant that the new heads were not made as well as the old heads and was this part of the American corporate conspiracy to have consumers buy more and spend more, she said they changed the recommendation on the advice of "dental professionals." Whether these "dental professionals" are part of the conspiracy, I do not know. Whether the new heads are not as well built as the old, I also don't know. But in any event, since I've been using the Sonicare for the past 15 years or so I've changed heads every six months or so and my teeth have not fallen out and I've had no complaints from my dentist. I guess I'll update this review four months from now and advise whether my teeth have fallen out and are full of cavities all because I didn't change the replacement head after three months.
But to Philips credit, at least they didn't simply stop making a head to fit the Advance handle and thereby force the consumer to buy a new handle for the new heads. The "e-series" does fit, albeit not perfectly.
Stay tuned.

If you're a fan of the sonicare, this is the best place I've found to buy the replacement heads. I replaced the heads for hygienic reasons, but it also solved the harsh vibrating noise my toothbrush was making. I found these heads last longer than standard toothbrushes too. They are what they say they are and come in the original branded packaging.
dentist suggestion March 10, 2010
K. Farren (Springfield, NH USA)
I purchased this electronic tooth brush because my dentist suggested it. I at first hesitated looking at the cost of just 2 replacement heads. I did the math...
First of all the brushing experience is 100 times better! Every day my teeth feel as though they have been cleaned by a dentist. And it performs much better and leaves less plaque which results to many dental issues.
The cost of the replacement heads are far less then an actual dentis bill, even if you have insurance. Well worth the cost for potential issues down the road.
Sonicare E-Series replacement brush head, 2 pack March 7, 2010
K. Wike (Jacksonville Beach, FL)
I am very happy with these brush heads. I bought a sonicare 5300 Essence power toothbrush. It came with only one brush head and I needed 2. So I bought the 2 pack and now have 3.
Now I have a spare when one of the two wears out. I do wish Amazon sold them in singles.
 Philips Sonicare Elite Brush Heads are the most effective and fairly priced replacement brush heads that I have found. March 4, 2010
Robert J. Cavaliero (Stamford, CT)
I have used the Philips Sonicare Elite Replacement Brush Heads for several years. In the past, through my independent business, I had been able to receive orders as needed. Once this product was no longer available through my business, I had to search for the proper replacements. I tried some other products but I discovered that those products were inferior and costly since I needed to replace them more frequently.I am most satisfied to have the Philips brand available through Amazon and I will continue to order my replacements on an as needed basis.
