I had this toothbrush as a Christmas gift and I love it so much. I use it everyday since I got it. However, the problem happened couple days ago is when I was using it and it made loud very noisy. I also do research and I've known that I need to change the brush head every 3 months. But I've been using it only 1.5 months and got this problem. A little disappointed for this cuties toothbrush.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. The Good: Wow! This toothbrush leaves my teeth so clean! Even several hours after brushing, my teeth still feel as clean and smooth as right after a professional dental cleaning and polishing. My gums feel healthier, too. I think the ultrasonic waves clean between my teeth better than other electric toothbrushes I`ve used. I like that the brush handle is lighter weight and less bulky than older electric toothbrushes and that it comes with a travel case. I could actually see myself bringing it on a trip. The travel case has room to hold 2 brush heads. For use at home, 1 charge lasts 2 full weeks, so it takes up minimal counter space. The toothbrush is very easy to assemble, comes pre-charged, and has a very compact charging base. The Bad: I was surprised to read in the manual that a different brush head is recommended for each of the toothbrushes 3 brushing modes (clean, white, and gum care). This made me feel like I could only use the white brushing mode, which is a 2.5 minute brushing cycle. One of the large buttons on the toothbrush switches between brushing modes, but I always kept it on white mode as the brush came with a W brush head (despite the manual recommending a newer W2 brush head). The other settings were less intuitive to use and require referring to the manual each time a change is needed. To turn functions such as EasyStart, Brush Head Replacement Reminder, or Pressure Sensor on and off, you hold down the start button until it beeps a certain number of times, and then release the button. A triple tone of low-medium-high or high-medium-low means the feature has been activated or deactivated. You have to check the manual to see which feature is after 2 beeps, after 3 beeps, etc. and which set of 3 tones indicates activated vs. deactivated. There`s no visual indicator on the brush for which of these features are turned on. The Ugly: The toothbrush is very loud and the vibrations are so strong that toothpaste flew out of my mouth and only my bathroom mirror when I opened my mouth slightly to reposition the brush to reach certain parts of my mouth. It was loud enough that I couldn`t hear someone talking right next to me. The toothbrush also has 4 very bright white lights on the toothbrush that turn on as soon as you pick up the toothbrush and stay on throughout use. I may cover these with tape as I find that uncomfortably bright, especially right before bed. Other thoughts: It would be nice if the toothbrush came with something for storing more brush heads on the bathroom counter. It would be ideal to purchase 3 different brush heads to be able to use the 3 brushing modes, and some households might want more than 1 person to share the same toothbrush base but with their own brush heads. Another electric toothbrush I`ve used came with a countertop case that holds 4 brush heads and has an easy way to color code different people`s brush heads. Something like that would be an improvement for this product. The travel case is bulky for just storing 2 brush heads--it`s designed for when you need to store the tooth brush base and the charger, too. The bottom line for me is that I`ll probably continue to use this toothbrush once a day, but use a different one that`s quieter, less messy, and doesn`t have bright lights at other times. The quality and outcome are great, but it would benefit from some changes to make it more user-friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the ProtectiveClean 6100 Sonicare in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I am so glad that I agreed to try this product. My dental hygienist has encouraged me for years to use an electric toothbrush. I purchased one about 5 years ago and used it infrequently. From the first time trying this product, I have been excited to use it, sometimes two or three times a day. Initially, the brush looked so small and I was skeptical. After using it once, I found the brush to be the perfect size-allowing me to effortlessly reach every tooth. When I was brushing manually, I thought I was brushing for two minutes-I was probably brushing for 30 seconds. When I use this Sonicare brush,I want to keep brushing, sometimes 4 minutes or more. After each use, my teeth feel like they were just professionally cleaned. I have some front teeth that are slightly crooked and I have to pay extra attention to them when I am brushing manually. This brush reaches to the areas where stuff collects without me even thinking about it. I like the whitening and gum features. The base on my other electric toothbrush often looked grungy, this base is easy to clean and looks sleek and modern on my sink vanity. I find the sound, at first, a little loud and annoying, but it is comparable to the other electric brush I own and this would not deter me from purchasing and using this product. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the eco-friendly packaging. The waste was cardboard, all recyclable, no plastic, YAY! I plan to buy this product as gifts for family and friends. I can't wait for my next dental appointment---the hygienist won't have to work so hard! Great Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product, holds charge very well! This was important to me and I was impressed with this. I also think another thing this product does well is provide high autonomy without being over complex. The settings are more than enough while also not being way too complex or confusing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose this toothbrush solely based on its color. I didn't want anything extravagant because it's a toothbrush after all. However, it did motivate me to brush my teeth thoroughly morning and night because how simple it was compared to a manual toothbrush, and simply becuase I like the color pink.

I received this product as a sample in exchange for my unbiased opinion. I`ve always been a fan of electronic toothbrushes and the ProtectiveClean 6100 Sonicare exceeded my expectations. The toothbrush gave my teeth a good clean and I was impressed by the smaller compact brush head. I like the feel of the body and product is slim and well made. My favorite feature was the three settings `clean, white, gum care` which allows me to choose the settings I need for my brushing purpose. I was impressed by how easy it was to use right out of the box but I can do with more detailed instructions on features. I used other brands before and Sonicare is up there with quality. I wish it did have a more `flossing` action and leaving your teeth super clean in between. I would like a better storage and charger for my toothbrush because I am left with the brush head and a top cover and nothing to keep the head and the brush together. Overall, I enjoy the product and it does a good job cleaning my teeth.

I received a sample of this product for a review and I hadn`t thought it would be much better or different than the name brand electronic toothbrush that I already had but it really was. I love all the settings `clean, white and gum care` and I have tried them all but I tend to choose `white` with a whitening toothpaste and the difference shows. The Sonicare does not just brighten the shade of white that my teeth are but it gives them a surface shine. After I used the toothbrush once I had that smooth teeth feeling like you have after you`ve been for a dentist cleaning. I already floss and use and an electric toothbrush but I don`t think I'll use anything but the Sonicare from now on. It tickled a little bit the first time I used the Sonicare but I got used to it after a couple of uses. I want to buy another one for my spouse because I feel like it gives a better, cleaner result and I feel weird having something that works so much better and not being able to share it with my family.

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. I love this Sonicare toothbrush. I've had 3 other electric toothbrushes over the past several years--this one ranks in the top. One thing I've learned electric toothbrushes aren't created equal. The last one I had was disappointedly weak. This one is powerful and makes me feel like my teeth get really clean. Before using an electric toothbrush, I had a history of brushing my teeth too hard and damaging my gums. My favorite feature is the "Pressure Sensor". If I use too much pressure, the sound changes so I can adjust. There's other features including an indicator that the brush head needs to be replaced. Another cool option, is if you want you can disable these features. One of the features I found confusing was the "modes"--different brush heads were mentioned and I wasn't sure if the mode only worked with the special brush heads. The look and feel of the product is solid. I love the travel case too. Definitely two thumbs up.

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. :-)

I received this product to review and found it to be well made and efficient. It does take a little getting used to, and in the directions you`ll find that it ships with an introductory setting for the toothbrush while the user adjusts. Overall I found the brush easy to use and effective. It cleans better than my previous electric toothbrush and I have noticed an improvement in cleaning with it`s use. The design is simple and ergonomic and the glowing led indicators give it a modern look. I would love it if it were just a little shorter so that it could fit into my medicine cabinet.
