The Philips Sonicare Essence 5300 Power Toothbrush is an excellent choice when looking for a power toothbrush. It is designed for optimum dental cleaning and stores neatly. The contour bristles are very efficient for cleaning all teeth surfaces, even between teeth and other hard to reach areas. With up to 31,000 movements per minute it removes 80% of tobacco and coffee stains in 2 weeks. It cleans more thoroughly than a manual toothbrush or many of the power brushes on the market.
Update: These toothbrushes are currently on sale through this link on Amazon.
The Philips Sonicare Essence 5300 Power Toothbrush features a rechargeable NiCd battery and maintains its charge, on average, about 2 weeks, depending on usage. The unit has a light that will blink to let you know when it’s time to recharge.
Your dentist has probably recommended that you need to brush for a full two minutes each time, but most of us don’t really keep track of that. The Philips Sonicare Essence 5300 Power Toothbrush features a two minute timer to encourage better brushing.
The vibration of the Philips Sonicare Essence 5300 Power Toothbrush may be a little intense at first, but you can start on a lower setting to become acclimated. It will still take a little time to get used to, but the clean feel is well worth it. You will notice the extra cleaning power from the first brushing. That “fresh from the dentist” clean may sound a little cliché but that’s exactly what it feels like. You’ll probably find that the cleanings by your dental hygienist are a little easier.
Power toothbrushes can be a bit pricey, but the cost of the Philips Sonicare Essence 5300 Power Toothbrush is less than many. It doesn’t have all the frills of a more expensive model, but it is an excellent choice for a very thorough, basic clean.

Do not like the “new” toothbrush head!! It vibrates too bad.
I’ve had mine for over four years and have always loved it until they recently made this change. Give the consumers the opportunity to choose between the old or the new. I would definitely choose the old one.
