Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Philips Sonicare Xtreme Battery-Operated Toothbrush improves oral health with a special emphasis on portability. Safe, comfortable, and effective, the Xtreme encourages healthy oral hygiene habits for life.

The Extreme e3000 is extremely portable.

Patented Technology and Dynamic Fluid Action

The Xtreme creates a dynamic fluid cleaning action that drives fluids deep into the tight spaces between your teeth. In fact, the patented sonic technology behind the Xtreme's cleaning action can actually make it easier to clean plaque along the gum line, which results in a cleaner, healthier mouth. A combination of high frequency and high amplitude bristle motions remove more plaque than a manual toothbrush. These bristles are also designed to be extra gentle on teeth and gums.

Safely and Effectively Improves Oral Health

Sonicare's dynamic cleaning action results in better plaque removal, improved gum health, and naturally whiter teeth. The uniquely angled brush head neck makes it easier to reach back teeth, removing plaque in those hard-to-reach areas. Easy and comfortable to use, thanks to the contoured brush head, the Xtreme also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off after the two-minute dentist recommended brushing time.

What's in the Box

One Philips Sonicare Xtreme Battery-Operated Toothbrush and two AA batteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can stop researching now. Buy this- the cheapest mdl w/no penalties August 23, 2006

Color Name:Orange

Yipee, I'm the "first to review this product". I'm doing so to save you time and eyestrain. Put yourself out of web-reading Hell, and just buy this Sonicare Xtreme model now.

It costs less, does the exact same job as the more expensive Sonicare models, and the best part: The Xtreme runs on 2 regular AA batteries, avoiding the one problem you'll see mentioned in many user comments of all the other Sonicares, that of short battery life w/no way to replace the rapidly dying built-in ones.

Sonicare told me this model runs at the same speed etc, and does the job every bit as well as their higher-end ones, but lacks the following non-essential features:

No beeps every 30secs, no battery life indicator, and no soft start (a slower speed that's programmed in for its initial 12 uses).

This model uses the E-series of replacement brush heads, same as the high-end models.

I was told by Sonicare to expect 80-100 uses per set of alkalines.

If you don't want to keep buying batteries, get yourself a set of 4 AA rechargeable batteries and charger, and you'll be set for years. You'll also be able to take advantage of longer run times as longer-lived rechargeables come on the market (this happens about every year).

I have one, and see no negatives to its design at all. -And a bonus- You can store it horizontally (no charging stand to deal with), and it even has a little no-roll ridge on the back of the handle. Nice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't get this, water will eventually get into the unit and destroy it November 14, 2006

By toothbrush

Color Name:Blue

When I first heard of Sonicare coming out with a toothbrush with replaceable batteries, I was excited. I upgraded to this from the Sonicare Advance after it failed to hold a charge any longer. With the other Sonicares, you have to throw the whole unit out if the batteries inside die. With these you just change out the batteries. I liked them so much I bought 2. Now after 3 months, both of them have already died. The end cap where you replace the batteries is not water tight. The O-ring that seals the battery compartment is not made very well. There are also 2 holes at the bottom of the toothbrush next to the metal clip on the endcap, which I believe is a design flaw. Although Sonicare sent me replacement units, I believe these replacements will also only last a few months. This is a great toothbrush for brushing, except they need to send it back to the design stage for the water resistant problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars long-term review -- fantastic product if you take care of it July 19, 2008

Great product, and there's no problem with the batteries if you take some minimal care. Read on...

I'm a traveling consultant, and I've had two of these 3000-series toothbrushes over more than a hundred trips over the past two years -- only because the first was damaged during a trip to India. I stopped using my previous regular Sonicare unit because these work very very well, and with a pair of rechargeables, I get the benefit of both worlds.

Power and performance -- The brush head action feels the same as my older Sonicare. This is to say, strong and thorough with no complaints at all. The 3000 has a 2min timer and not the quadpacer control, but I don't miss it. As set of alkaline batteries lasts me for a month or more, while 2300mah NiMH AA's last 1-2 weeks between charges.

Maintenance -- The skreechy complaints from previous reviewers about the battery compartment leaking water and destroying batteries are nonsense. Let's get real here: the 3000 is not the same design as the sealed-cell Sonicare units, and the fact that it has electrical contacts in an open-able compartment is not a design flaw (as some have declared). In fact, I find this unit to be quite well-designed and simple, but it does need a little bit of care. Anyone who has used an underwater camera case or gone diving already knows how to take care of water gaskets, but for the uninitiated: Dry gaskets do not provide a perfect seal on *any* product. In order to seal out water, the battery compartment gasket needs to be prepared before the first use, by swabbing a little bit of Vaseline or similar on all sides of the gasket surface. This will eventually degrade the gasket (lithium grease would be more appropriate), but it's worked fine for more than a year on this last one. If I were hostile, I would take away a star because Philips/Sonicare should provide a small packet of gasket grease in the box, but other than that, it works perfectly after lots and lots of use.
