Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush Packaging May Vary, White, 1 Count

Works great
Was recommended by my dentist for best cleaning. It does a good job as she hasn’t complained of any tartar buildup since I’ve started using it! It has handy timing built in to let you know you’re done with each quadrant of your teeth. It also let’s you know if you’re brushing (pressing) too hard. However, I will say, the little vibrations the thing emits are barely noticeable, but overall, the brush is still very nice.Also, you can use a generic brush head replacement on this just fine. Don’t use the Phillips brand – way too expensive. The generic brand is not a perfect fit (the hole is not the same shape as the Phillips brush holder) however, the friction/tension still holds the brush in place just fine and works perfectly for a fraction of the cost.**** Update!! ******I just had the strangest experience with this toothbrush that I think could explain some things to other people. After about a year and a half, my toothbrush just suddenly stopped working! I thought it was the charger, maybe the battery, maybe water got inside? I was just about to give up when my husband said he had the same thing happen to his (he has the same brush) and when he put a new brush head on it started working again. Believe it or not, that actually WORKED! I did a little research and found out that this brush has some kind of RFID sync with the smart brush head to be able to tell you when to replace it. However, I assume that my after market cheapie brush heads that I use don’t offer that and somehow it messes up the brush handle and instead of an indicator light turning on, it just shuts off. But the second I got a new brush head on, it came back on, just as strong as ever! I know it was the new brush head, because I had taken the old one off and back on while I was trying to troubleshoot the brush and nothing changed. It only started working again when I put a new one on. Hope that helps someone else!

All the features you want without the ones you don’t need
I’ve always been a big fan of Sonicare toothbrushes, my dental cleanings went from you’ve got to do better to you’re doing a great job. My last Sonicare was an Elite model with all of the features, it’s demise came from a loose brush head shaft that wouldn’t stay tightened even after repair, that’s what also what killed the one before that so the verdict is out on how this one will hold up in that regard but they usually last a couple of years before giving out. I found that I never used any of the settings on the Elite except for basic clean with full power. In the past if you wanted a basic no-frills Sonicare with one button you have to forgo the slim handle design and lithium ion battery, two features I never wanted to get up so I would always spring for the more expensive model. Enter this Protectiveclean 4100 Sonicare, a basic one button, one speed no-frills machine that has all the features that I want and nothing that I don’t with the same slim handle and battery as the higher end models in this line. It even borrowed some of the features from the top of the Sonicare line like a brush head pressure sensor to remind you of proper brushing technique and a smart head brush replacement reminder that I hope doesn’t tell me to replace it before I want to but we’ll see (you can turn the feature off). The area around the metal brush head shaft (between the motor handle and brush head) has been flattened out and the little plastic cap that used to sit on the bottom of the shaft is gone making the area easier to clean, if you have a Sonicare you’ll know what I mean. The sonic action of this toothbrush seems more refined than my old Elite model but perhaps that’s due to wear and tear on the old one, anyway this brush works quite well and I’m happy.

No hay mejor forma de limpiar los dientes y encías, sin lugar a dudas.Supongo que he tenido la progresión normal de cualquier consumidor…. cepillo normal, cepillo rotativo tipo oral b y ahora este cepillo sónico. Wow, la diferencia se nota!Además veo otras grandes ventajas, como el cepillo como tal es bien chiquitito (algo que no esperaba) gastas mucho menos pasta de dientes (ahorro). Me gusta que por medio de beeps te avise cuándo cambiar de lugar (ver el manual).De verdad siento que Phillips debería anunciarlo mas; yo me enteré por una amiga dentista y de verdad pensé “es una pena” que más gente no se entere de las ventajas de la limpieza sónica. El mismo principio que la Clarasonic para la cara.No lo duden, es caro pero vale mucho la pena por la salud de tus dientes. A la larga vez el valor por tu dinero.

For the price this is a great electric toothbrush. I had purchased a no name off brand prior to this but the vibrations weren’t up to par, may as well have used a manual. This brush however works very well. I had looked at purchasing one of the more expensive models however decided the likely hood that I would use all those fancy features after day 1 were slim to none. This toothbrush does the trick, makes your teeth feel amazingly clean, battery life is good, and has a powerful vibration! It’s every girls dream.
