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. :-)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love this product. Teeth are whiter and gums look better. I’ve had braces for several years and brushed so hard gums damaged. Now dentist even said gums show signs of healing. Thank You Phillips ! Everyone should get one It’s worth the investment

I have had sonicare since the late 90's. The handle I got in the 90's lasted 5 years until the battery would not hold much of a charge. The handles today die quickly. Sonicare has become a recurring revenue scam. Philips doesn't' seem to care about building a quality consumer product anymore.

It is narrower in size than my old Philips toothbrush and that makes it easier to use. It has several cleaning options, however most of the time I use it just for standard teeth cleaning. I also like that it automatically knows which voltage it is plugged in and it comes with a convenient travel box.

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.

I received this product in exchange for writing a review and was perhaps a little more excited than I should have been, because I was actually unhappy with the toothbrush I was using at the time and had been searching for a new one. And then this fell into my lap! Overall, I was truly pleased with the toothbrush. My teeth are stubbornly on the yellow side and have remained so despite several attempts to whiten them but after using this toothbrush once, I could swear they looked cleaner. Not to say, I was ready for a white teeth commercial, but after two weeks, I really can see a noticeable difference. Modes: the toothbrush has three modes: clean, white, and gum care. The real difference here is just length the brush stays on but I like that it's timed, because it encourages me to brush longer, which I hate in general. Supposedly you're supposed to use a different brush for these modes but I only have one. I imagine it might be frustrating to change brushes for different modes but only used whitening. It does has three speeds or strengths which is a nice option if you want more clean or are having some sensitivity and that was easy to use. Brush Shape: The brush on this on somewhat oval, like a traditional toothbrush and while I like this in general and feel like it fits in my mouth, I did struggle to make it fit well on the backs on my lower front teeth. You can turn the brush, but it just doesn't fit perfectly, at least in my mouth, which is on the small size. So, on the pro side, I like the different cleaning options and for me, it really did make a difference in the look and feel of my teeth. My only real cons are it doesn't fit perfectly in my mouth and for some reason when I brush, in the front, if I don't keep my mouth closed, toothpaste splatter flies out, even when I only use a small amount which is a little annoying. For me though, the effectiveness makes up for having to wipe down my mirror every now and then!

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Overall, I like the toothbrush - it's sleek, works well, was easy to set up and use and holds a charge for a long time. The one thing I did not like was the fact that the brush moves sideways instead of in circles. I've always manually brushed in circles or used a brush that does circles so I prefer that method. However, my teeth felt very clean using this toothbrush and it's just a style preference, not any sort of defect with the product. There is a whitening feature with the toothbrush and I will have to say I didn't use that at all so can't speak to how it does. I will in the future though - interesting option. Overall, it was great and I would recommend it to someone looking for a toothbrush like this.

I recieved a free product sample of the sonicare protectiveClean 6100 in exchange for my honest review and after using for a couple weeks I am very happy with its proformance. It has a gentile start feature which is especially nice if you have never used this type of toothbrush, the tingle of the sonic cleaning can be too much for some people at first. The built in 2 minute timer and pressure sensor are two included features which are nice to have, when you hear the beep you just move to the next area until you have brushed all your teeth. The only down side that I can think of is that there is only one brush head included, it would have been nice if it came with two heads but that said I will continue to use this brush, It leaves my teeth feeling smooth and clean and my gums are in better shape than before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toothbrush is easy to get into tight places and does a good job brushing my teeth. The battery stays charged for some time before I need to recharge it. It's surprisingly lightweight and easy to manuever around my mouth. With flossing, I will be able to keep my teeth whiter and have less cavities.

My dentist recommended I use a sonicare toothbrush years ago. I purchased a different electric toothbrush without sonic technology at a much lesser price, thinking it would be just as effective in improving my overall dental health. I received a free sample of this Philips toothbrush in exchange for this review. The product came already charged and I enjoyed getting to use it right away. I quickly discovered that this toothbrush removes more plaque and whitens my teeth better than any other toothbrush I've used before. It did take some time getting used to the intense sonicare vibrations, as well as the fact that it is louder than my previous electric toothbrush. However, I am well accustomed to it now. My favorite feature is the gum care setting as I have very sensitive gums that are prone to bleeding when brushing. Thanks in part to the pressure sensor, the bristles are extremely gentle on my teeth and dental work, causing no gum irritation at all. I also love that I can actually see the microbubbles working between my teeth and around my orthodontics, helping me get the deep clean I desire. I appreciate the Brushsync replacement reminder as well, because I no longer have to guess when my brush head needs replacement. Overall, I think this Philips sonicare toothbrush is a wonderful product, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their oral care routine.
