is this worth 400 dollars how does it differ from other electric toothbrushes

I've never seen a $400 sonicare. My first one was around $90. My current one was about $40. Worth it to have an ultrasonic toothbrush. The sound waves in the water kill the bacteria that rot your mouth. It works.

No way... I bought the same e7300 back in 2008 for $80. *from Amazon, and it's still working great. Sonicare uses sound waves to obliterate plaque and other nasty buildup on the teeth. Check out some of the other Philips models for MUCH less, such as: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-Limited-Toothbrush-Includes/dp/B007HPJGU6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hpc_5 Paying $400 for any power toothbrush is INSANE! You could buy a decent CAR instead, for $400!! :-))

it is deinitely not worth $400. I think I paid about $90. That is probably too much.

Where is this priced at $400? If I remember correctly I paid under $100. Don't even think about paying that amount. They have a problem with the "off-on" switch collapsing into the unit. Everyone I know has had that problem. It cleans the teeth great, but not $400 worth.

We don't sell electric toothbrushes. You may find it in Amazon from other sellers.

I've tried a couple of other electric toothbrushes and yes I think the Rota Dent is a better product. If you decide to purchase a Rota Dent, I would recommend you get the original "Classic" version. It's made much better.

The extra $30 for the 380 (according to the instructions - I have the 340 but the instructions booklet is used for both) gets you a hard case, a charging stand so you don't have to go through the huge trouble of plugging the charging cord directly into the shaver (sarcasm intended), a "precision setting switch" which lowers one of the foils to make it easier to shave under your nose (not a bad idea), and a set of lights that apparently gradually tell you when the shaver battery charge is running down. The 340 has one charge light that starts blinking when its charge is low. Note that the instructions say to run the shaver battery all the way down the first few times and every 6 months thereafter. Note also that the instructions state that a 5 minute charge is enough to get you one shave.

I love my Philips Sonicare and have had no other brand. I have two models of Sonicare...one that I have had for several years and one that I bought this past year. I do not think you could go wrong with any model. Check out how much the replacement brushes cost. That might make a difference for you as you should not use a toothbrush more that three months or when the blue tip of the brush is no longer blue.

It looks like the same thing. No difference that I can see. BTW there is newer version available that has Bluetooth (http://www.amazon.com/Smartseries-Bluetooth-Electric-Rechargeable-Toothbrush/dp/B00O8ODI5I/ref=dp_ob_title_hpc). It costs about $45 more. Personally I would not spend that money on "bells and whistles" that would not give any benefits as far as tooth cleaning is concerned.

There is something like 4000 rpm so it is strong (similar to a dentist cleaning tool), however you can adjust the settings to your preference. There are 5 choices: regular, deep clean which is a longer setting, feather light which is good for sensitive gums, polishing which is most similar to the dentist office, and massage which changes speed and pressure for gums and teeth. You can also purchase different brushheads such as regular, sensitive gums, deep clean/floss action. If you use the Oral B brand, the brush head fits perfect and there is no excess noise or vibration, but if you use the generics I notice this does happen more and it is annoying, so we go with the brand.

You know, this like a good idea but 150 bucks a year for a two-person family toothbrush that you have to repair with a magnet? Just how good is this thing?

Braun sells this brush for around $50 around the world. There is no difference. I got mine for $50 three or four yesrs ago. Dont psy that amount. It is over inflated!

this one has 5 choices for brushing, one is for sensitive teeth and one to massage gums. I have multiple issues and I love this toothbrush. My dentist and others recommended this one. You'll be happy.

Quick answer is Motor SIZE. Looks like you are comparing the brushless motor version with the brushed motor version. The brushless is 380, the brushed is 550 titan. Brushless is faster, more reliable, longer lasting, etc, hence, why it costs more. Not only will the motor sizes be different, but the "motor mounts" and the electronic speed controller "ESC" included will be as well. I bought the 550 brushed version, you will be pleased w/ it. If you take this hobby seriously, when the motor dies just buy a 550 sized brushless motor AND ESC. Happy hunting

Can't really help. That toothbrush was such a crappy product I tossed in the trash. The little brush heads kept popping off while brushing. I have owned 3 sonic cares. That model sucked. Save your money buy the bulkier Elite. The heads screw on and stay on.

It rotates and uses the same brush heads. But it does not rotate as fast as the more expensive ones. I primarily use this for travel so for a short number of days it's okay with me. The other reason I got it is because it uses battery and not a charger. I have left many a charger at hotels.

It vibrates a bit differently. I've got no clue how much difference those different settings actually make, but I don't think that's the reason to buy this toothbrush anyways.

I am out of clarisonic brushes so I can't compare but I think not. I am sensitive to noise so I think if there had been a marked change I would have noticed. Further, I did have a funny, high pinched noise with my generic brushes on my sonic are toothbrush and it did break. I am not having that with these brushes on the clarisonic. Honestly...I think they are better than the ones clarisonic makes. Not better for the price just better. For example I feel that when I 'lock' them into place it is a tighter fit than the clarisonic ones. In fairness, this is my first package and I have only used the first head but I am very pleased and have had no foreshadowing of poor quality control.

I almost got one, but did not after finding out that the company went out of business due to technical problems with its product. Best to exchange it with the vendor to get a good one. It could have been the best toothbrush out there.

Hi Jamie, I personally use this Philips Sonicare HX6911/02 FlexCare Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush (Sonicare FlexCare) and it came with brushing mode. It costs a little bit more than other Sonicare toothbush but it is all worth it. I have a very sensitive gums so this works out for me. And also, I noticed after I started using Sensodyne toothpaste, my gums bleed less. In fact, it hasn't bleed in a while. Hope this helps.
