4.0 out of 5 stars Great but bulky, April 21, 2005

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Crest i8300 IntelliClean System Integrated Power Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)

My first impression of the toothbrush was how bulky it was. My roommate has a Sonicare and I figured it would be roughly the same size, but it seems bigger. It almost looks a little ridiculous, it has a huge handle and a small brush head.

But once you start brusing your teeth with it you forget about it and just enjoy it. It's simply amazing how clean your teeth feel when you are done brushing with it.

The toothpaste refills are a little pricey and they don't seem to be sold everywhere, but you can always put regular toothpaste on the brushhead if you wish.

Overall I'm happy with the product, but not with the size.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good performance, gets extremely dirty inside, one toothpaste option, January 25, 2006

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Crest i8300 IntelliClean System Integrated Power Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)

This brush performs well. However, use it for 3 weeks and take a look inside--it's filled with bacteria and grime. This stuff is very difficult to remove, especially from inside the part that holds the brush. This is not good because the same bacteria that comes out of your mouth can reinfect your mouth every time you brush.

It tends to stay wet inside the brush which makes a great place for this stuff to thrive. The only toothpaste that will work with this is the overpriced Crest toothpaste. I only use Colgate Total (with Triclosan) so I never bothered adding another cartridge after the first few.

Don't be fooled--using this brush does NOT replace the need for flossing. Save some money and get the normal Sonicare brush without toothpaste.

This review is from: Philips Sonicare Crest i8300 IntelliClean System Integrated Power Toothbrush (Health and Beauty)

I have used the older model Sonicare toothbrush for several years and was very happy with the results. Your gums feel great and your teeth are really cleaned well. So, I decided to update and purchased the I8300. Once you get used to it (a little bulky) I don't think there is another toothbrush that can compare to it. The concept of having toothpaste guided by you on your teeth and gums with just the push of a button is great. Afer using it for just once, you think your teeth and gums were cleaned by a professional. This is one great toothbrush and I highly recommend it, especially for people who have gum problems.

There is one drawback, the toothpaste refills are only made by Crest. But, you don't have to use the refills and can just put your own brand on the toothbrush.

Overall, a great product.
