Excellent toothbrush
The Philips Sonicare toothbrush is great! I will start by mentioning that I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review. It is a lightweight, long, lean tooth cleaning machine. It has 3 settings which each serve a different purpose (clean, white, gums.) My teeth feel clean and smooth after each use. I have not yet noticed any difference in my teeth or gums, but I am confident and hope there may be improvement after a few more weeks. This model comes with a handy, dandy carrying case, which is quite useful as it arrived the day before a trip. I usually end up packing my toothbrush wrapped in tissue or paper towel, so the case was helpful. And it has room to carry two toothbrush heads, if you’re traveling with a companion who you would be comfortable sharing the base device with. I will say it tickles my gums as I used it, but not in a bad way, just different than I’ve felt with similar brands. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high end rechargeable toothbrush.
Awesome Product
I received the ProtectiveClean 6100 Sonicare to review and sample and it by far surpassed my expectations. Not only was this toothbrush easy to handle and operate, but it also provided great quality and functionality. My favorite feature is the auto shut off function that lets me know when to move to a different section to brush. I highly recommend this product if you are looking a toothbrush that is simple to use and efficient in every way.
A step above other toothbrushes
I received a free sample of the Protective Clean 6100 Sonicare. This is an awesome product. It`s sleek, and very modern looking. I have used electric toothbrushes in the past, and I completely expected this one to be similar, but I was completely pleasantly surprised. The feel of the brush head really felt like I was getting a dentist`s clean. It didn`t have that uncomfortable feeling that many other electric brushes have - this one is smaller, but really does the job. I really liked the 3 levels of cleaning (clean, whiten and gum care), and the different vibrations of the brush head. It took a few tries to figure out how to move from one level of cleaning to the next, but once I did, I could really feel the differences to decide which one was better for me. Another bonus was the travel case. I generally take a manual toothbrush on vacation, but this one will be easy to pack. I`ve only used it for a few days, but can already feel the difference on my teeth. Definitely an improvement over my old toothbrush. Highly recommend!
Fails just past the Warranty
This is the 2nd Sonicare model to fail in the last 3 years. This newer generation model is built just well enough to outlast the warranty. Garbage. Because I have brush heads, I'll buy the cheapest model to use them up, then switch to a better quality maker.

Great product!
I received the product free in exchange for my review. I have bought many electric toothbrushes, but I must say the Sonicare 6100 is a great product. There are a lot of features that make it so user friendly. It alerts you if you brush too hard, if you need to replace the head, it buzzes when it's time to change zones in your mouth. I like that you can change the intensity of the brush. It has 3 options to choose from when brushing. I would definitely recommend this product. It is light years ahead of any other electric toothbrush I've bought.
Dies after two years or less
Divide the purchase price by two and that is the cost per year you will pay because the product is not built to last. When it starts vibrating loudly it is gone. If it is under warranty Philips may send you a replacement but it will also last less than two years. It's a great toothbrush while it lasts.
Quality toothbrush
I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. What I like about this Philips Sonicare toothbrush is that it's a well made toothbrush. The first thing I noticed is that it looks and feels like a high quality toothbrush. It came charged, so I could use it right away. The instructions are easy to understand. My favorite feature is the quadpacer. So that you brush all of your teeth for the same amount of time, it has an internal timer and will beep and make a brief pause to let you know when it's time to brush the next area. It has different intetvals for each brushing mode. The are 3 brushing modes,which are clean mode, white mode, and gum care mode. It lets you know when the brush head needs to be replaced. It also has a pressure sensor that lets you know if you're brushing too hard. Overall, I like the toothbrush very much. My only critique would be that since I have very sensitive teeth, initially it was a bit strong and took a little getting used to compared to a regular toothbrush. It's so much better than a regular toothbrush, though. I was amazed at how much better my teeth and mouth feel after brushing with the sonicare compared to a regular toothbrush.
Expensive
What happened to $2 toothbrushes? Now they cost over $100 (plus about $40 per year for brush heads)! Well, my dentist says I need it and now that I have (nearly) all crowns (fake teeth) in my mouth, I guess he's right. :-( Anyway, this thing has a chip in the brush head so I sure hope nobody hacks my toothbrush! They might turn it into a chain saw (ouch). Well this thing vibrates so much it feels like a chain saw, but I guess it's getting rid of all that plaque and calculus stuff. One thing I can say is that my gums are improving, so I guess that's a good thing. :-)
Love this toothbrush!
I Love that this comes in pink. Sonicare doesn’t have the most colorful or fun options when it comes to their line of electric toothbrushes. So when I saw this one in pink I was so excited. I also love the pressure sensor since I’ve always pushed too hard so now I have receding gums on over half of my teeth. So this had been a helpful tool. Also, the battery lasts a REALLY long time. With my previous electric toothbrush (it wasn’t a Philips Sonicare one), it had to sit on the charger at all times because otherwise the battery would die. I didn’t have room for a charger to sit on my bathroom countertop since the space is already limited so I thought this toothbrush would be better since the charger is so small. It was a nice surprise when I realized that I don’t even need the charger out on the counter 24/7 because it stays charged for a few weeks at a time! I also love the sensor that tells you when it’s time to change out you’re toothbrush head. Overall this is a really nice toothbrush and it has a lot of features that are really nice to have. The pink color is almost a pastel color which I also love! I hope Sonicare keeps coming out with new designs and colors, etc. The only reason why I decided to purchase a Philips Sonicare toothbrush is because my dentist kept telling me at EVERY single visit that I needed to get a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I’d never had one before and I really liked the electric toothbrush I was using at the time. My dentist would always tell me how much better it is compared to every other brand out there, etc. I thought that if the toothbrush had the word Sonicare or Sonic that it was the same as the Philips Sonicare but he informed me that they are not the same and to make sure it’s a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I kept putting it off until the day he told me that he can tell the second he looks in someone’s mouth is they are using a Philips Sonicare toothbrush or another brand. I have a really awesome dentist and he’s always in top of the latest literature and guidelines, etc. He does both cosmetic dentistry and regular dentistry too. He owns his own practice (two of them actually) and he doesn’t hire other dentists, it’s just him. He cares and has always been upfront and honest with me from day 1. He doesn’t try to upsell you or tell you something’s wrong when it’s not. He’s talked me out of doing Zoom whitening in his office many times because he doesn’t think my teeth look as bad as I do. So I 100% trust him. He’d been telling me to get a Philips Sonicare toothbrush for so long, so I finally decided to make the switch (primarily because of what he’d told me that day - that he could tell which patients of his brush with a Philips Sonicare and which do not). I’m so glad I made the switch. I’ll never go back to any other brand. This toothbrush definitely brushes a lot better - you can feel the difference when you turn on a Philips Sonicare toothbrush and compare how it feels (dry and using your hands) to another brand - you can feel a major difference just from touching them with your finger. I wish I would’ve switched sooner. If you’re reading this, trust me on this one, you’ll regret not buying it sooner so get one as soon as you can. Your teeth and mouth will be grateful! The only thing that I can think of when it comes to negatives/room for improvement (besides the lack of color options) would be also the lack of different styles. They all have the same shape and general look to them. It would be nice if they had for ex: a really slim one (that’s what I liked about my last toothbrush) or a small one (not a travel one which they already have) but just one that’s a lot smaller but still has the same functions as the big ones - I’d totally buy a new one if they came in a smaller version (as long as they had it in pink or violet, etc.). They should do a collaboration with Hello Kitty! If they ever do, I hope they not only do the usual red Hello Kitty look but and a pink Hello Kitty too. And lastly, these are noisy - mine is anyways. So I wish they were a lot quieter. Otherwise these are amazing and I agree with my dentist on this one - Philips Sonicare is the very BEST of the best when it comes to the electric toothbrush!
My Third Sonicare
This is my third Sonicare toothbrush purchased over the last 10 years. They have all performed well and lasted a reasonably long time. I find the replacement brushes much too expensive and have resorted to generic brush heads for the last several years. This new model follows this path as it uses heads with embedded chips to monitor the life of the head. They are exorbitantly too expensive for my budget so I doubt that I will ever buy them. I do like the choices I have for brushing and I also like the warning I get if I am brushing too hard. My dentist likes the results of my using this system also.
