Patented Technology and Dynamic Fluid Action
The e3000 incorporates the insights of dental professionals concerned with improving brushing habits of young people, and it can help make a significant difference in oral health in only a few minutes a day. With results backed by over 85 published studies, Sonicare is a name you can trust to be effective. Like all Sonicare toothbrushes, the e3000 was inspired by dental equipment and creates a fluid and dynamic cleaning action. A series of tiny but powerful waves dislodge plaque that isn't normally reachable by either a manual brush or the oscillating and rotating movements of other power brushes. In fact, the patented technology behind the e3000's cleaning action can actually make it easier to clean plaque below the gum line. The bristles on the e3000 play an important role, too. Their high velocity movement results in direct contact with each tooth to cover more area in less time. These bristles are also designed to be extra gentle on teeth and gums. For added convenience, the e3000 comes with two AA batteries and offers a long battery life of about six weeks, so it's ideal for overnight trips or vacations.

Proven to Deliver Brushing Compliance
Sometimes preteens and teens resisted brushing, either because it's uncomfortable or because it takes too much effort to achieve real results. But the e3000 is teen-tested and approved, and has been proven to encourage teens to continue regular healthy brushing habits. In fact, in clinical tests, subjects brushed measurably longer with the e3000 than with a manual toothbrush. Easy and comfortable to use, thanks to the contoured brush head, the e3000 also features a Smartimer that automatically shuts off after the two-minute dentist recommended brushing time. Most importantly, the e3000 is highly effective; studies show that it removes more plaque than using other toothbrushes. And thanks to Sonicare's no risk, 100-percent satisfaction guarantee, your teen has everything to gain with better dental check-ups.

Improve Overall Health
The e3000 can help make a difference in your teen's health now, while setting a good foundation for later in life. It's vital to start good oral hygiene early, not only to help prevent cavities, but also to maintain overall wellness. In fact, recent studies prove that maintaining healthy teeth and gums has a positive impact on other health considerations. For instance, research shows that there is often a connection between periodontal disease and heart disease, suggesting that consistent oral hygiene at-home care can help prevent health problems down the road.

The e3000 comes with a two-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

Excellent for the Money!
Overall, I give the toothbrush a strong but not perfect recommendation. It's the best toothbrush you can get for $30.

First the downside, we bought four of these. One of them failed within two weeks. It simply stopped working - even with fresh batteries. After contacting Sonicare, they agreed to swap it out for a new one.

On the plus side, the performance is excellent. With alkaline or NiMh batteries, the run time is far superior to the Sonicare rechargeable units costing many times more. Also, the performance seems to remain strong throughout the battery wear cycle. On the rechargeable units, after you've had them for a while, the power seems to begin depleting noticeably without constantly have the unit on the recharger.

No it does not have all the bells and whistles. But this unit delivers top-rated Sonicare toothbrush performance - at a fraction of the cost of Sonicare's higher end units.

No Holes!
I just recieved the brush in the mail yesterday and it works fine. It really is very close to the big one.

The holes in the battery compartment mentioned in some of the other reviews are not there. I think someone at the factory must have been reading your reviews. Also, the O ring is rubber or looks like rubber and seems to make a good seal. I think with a little care it should do the job just fine. I don't see any reason to immerse the unit in water anyway.

I need to travel a lot for work and it is important to cut weight. This brush saves some weight and bulk in my carry on. Also AA batts are always available but 115 is not. I think it will do the job very well.

Defective - two of these Xtreme quit working
I tried... twice. But both of these "toy toothbrushes" quit working. In the past I had a great experience with an older Sonicare toothbrush and was hoping for similar quality with this simpler, cheaper and replaceable battery powered device. No such luck. After a couple weeks it just stopped. Phillips was kind enough to replace it but the replacement also failed after a couple weeks. My advise is to avoid the Xtreme and buy the higher price device (or stick to the simple manual toothbrush).
