Philips Sonicare E-Series Replacement Brush Head

Comment: I absolutely love my Sonicare Elite toothbrush and when the magnets in mine started leaving nasty black particulates inside the casing, I figured it was time to replace it. I ordered this 3 pack in hopes that it would get my Sonicare working just as new - and it did! Since I replaced my original brush head with one of these, the strength of the brushing increased tremendously!

Comment: My dentist had advised me years ago to use the Philips Sonicare. Initially, I was presssing too hard. You're supposed to let the Sonicare do the work and not add any pressure. Then you don't wear out your gums and the heads last longer too!

Comment:


























The Philips Sonicare E-Series replacement brush heads work fine on my Advance older electric brush. Glad the reviews I read stated they would work fine!

Thanks

Comment: This replacement brush for the Sonicare is a well mede product. It performs well and clean the teeth quickly and completely. I would purchase another in the future.

Comment: 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.
