 The best sonicare deal there is September 19, 2008
A pointer for new owners - rub some petroleum jelly on the black o-ring in the battery cap. That'll keep the ring from leaking, and lubricate it against tearing.
I held out for a long time with an older Sonicare, one with the fat neck and sealed rechargeable batteries. I liked the old one, up until 12 hours wasn't enough to charge between uses. The older model would grow crud under the cap where the brush screws on, the new design LOOKS like it should be worse, but, surprisingly, it stays clean. The slender neck is nicer to work around in your mouth, and it keeps the slobber down.
I love being able to use my own batteries to run this, it's easier to throw a new set of rechargeables at it every week or two than to fight over the bathroom outlet. Without the batteries glued tight, I expect this to last longer than the 2-3 years of other models.
 Last same amount of time as the rechargeable September 19, 2008
I purchased an original Sonicare that lasted about one year, so I decided to try cheaper e3000 with replaceable batteries. This one last almost the exact same amount of time. Both the e3000 and rechargeable Sonicare I had worked pretty much the same. I just purchased my second e3000.
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.
