Sonicare Essence e5300 Electric Toothbrush Review

Although I like the way it works, I have mixed feelings about the Sonicare Essence 5300 electric toothbrush.  The first is the price.  It's not that it's more expensive than other electectric, it's that with the cost of replacement tooth brush heads ($30 for two) every 3 months, it can add up easily.

It's a bit messy and hard to clean.  When you are brushing your teeth it tends to spray if you open your mouth even just a little bit.  Since you have to move the tooth brush around it can get messy and I hate cleaning the mirror everytime I brush my teeth.

It is also hard to clean. you can take most of the parts apart to clean, which you should do.  However, things seem to get into the cracks  and mold can easily build up.  The mold can be cleaned, but it is not very appetizing.

As far as the tooth brush action itself, the Sonicare Essence 5300 does work well.  It cleans thoroughly and has a two minute timer.

This is my first time with an electric tooth brush, so I'm not sure if these things happen with any toothbrush.
