Philips Sonicare Protective Clean 4100 Plaque Control Aqua Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush - Plastic Material

I love the color of this toothbrush and the power it produces. My favorite thing is that it comes with a clear cap and the charge will last around 2 weeks so you can throw it into your bag like a regular toothbrush when you travel. Works well, simple design, waterproof, and pretty. Cons: I wish the heads held up a bit better and lasted longer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this product for overall dental care improvement.

Really like the way my whole mouth feels after using the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Sonic electric toothbrush HX6816/01 Built-in pressure sensor. My teeth feel so clean, like I've just had my teeth cleaned by the dental hygienist. This was a gift from my husband for Christmas, I had given him a Sonicare electric toothbrush for Christmas the previous year, both our check ups have been super since we started using them.

I love how this toothbrush is water proof so that I can take it into the shower to brush my teeth in there. I also love the cool new sensory feature that lets you know when you're brushing to hard.

At recent dental cleaning was told that I brush too hard and hygienist recommended I purchase a Sonicare brush, to not get the cheapest or most expensive, but a good mid-range price. I choose the 4100 and am very pleased with the performance and ease of use. The quadrant feature is great as it pauses when time to move, ensuring a full 2 minute cleaning. Wish it had a fifth timed feature for brushing my tongue as I think that is also important for good oral care. The battery charge lasts a long time between charges and the charge and change brush features are great.

I really like the sonicare toothbrush. It makes brushing your teeth so much easier, and it does a better job than if you did it manually. So that's a great bonus. I'm not always sure I'm holding it at the right angle against my teeth and gumline though. It's also a challenge to not press too firmly with it, because it doesn't feel like it's doing as much as it could.

This is the fourth Sonicare product I have purchased, but the 7th I have owned. The product lasts about two years. Sometimes the warranty helps with the cost of the replacement, sometimes not. I used to buy the premium model, but there were too many issues. I, now, purchase the base model. Additionally, replacement heads have reached and surpassed a reasonable cost. I do not expect Philips to adjust their market pricing, so I will be entertaining other brands as possible replacements in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the sixth or seventh Sonicare ElectricToothbrush that we've owned. They clean beautifully, but their biggest problem is disposability, There is no good reason that the batteries can't easily be changed. I would guess that hundreds of thousands have ended up in landfills. The same for Norelco electric razors. They work very well but are an environmental disaster. They both should be designed to easily receive new rechargeable batteries. Shame, shame on Phillips

This product was recommended by my kids' dentist to ensure the cleanest teeth while they have braces. BUT, it's too painful. There is only one setting and, apparently, it's too aggressive for them. I'm disappointed that I spent our sparse money on this product. I had hoped that they would get used to it, but they have not and my 15 year old will not use it anymore.

I really like the sleek design and ease of use. But I have a problem with the brush head falling of during use. I'm not pressing hard; in fact, it fell off when it was out of my mouth. I thought I was putting it in wrong, but seems like a simple procedure. Also, thought that maybe the brush head was worn even though is was less than a month old. I changed it out with a new one, and had the same problem. The vibration seem to loosen the head.
