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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample for a Philips 6100 protective clean electric toothbrush in exchange for my opinion. I loved this toothbrush. Overall it was easy to use and having the three brushing modes is ideal for me because It gave me the option to brush for a longer or shorter time. I felt my overall gum health was better after only a week of use. My favorite feature is the easy start feature which over time increases the power to help your teeth and gums get used to using a electric toothbrush. I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for an easy to use high quality electric toothbrush.

I bought this set for home and away and took advantage of the brush head deals as well, Sam's Club had the BEST price that beat every retailer on the block and the package deal on the brush heads are WORTH it, I believe I am good to for at least 3 years. I replaced my aging Water Pick and Oral B. This works as advertised and will play around with the intensity levels to feel what's right for me.

This is a great tooth brush and cleans wonderfully but let me tell you about the battery life on this thing! When I first opened it, I put it on the charger for about 24 hours before using. Now I only have to charge it once a year!!! Pretty incredible!

I had bought 2 at the same time. My other one is still working good. However,this one quit after a little over 1 year.I did not claim the warranty because I figured I would have to pay for shipping it back. I just bought a new one of the same.Hopefully it will last.

So I submitted a review earlier this week which reflected on my Philips customer service experience. I received a followup email which stated my review would not be posted. Here’s a quote from the company email: “Unfortunately your review hasn’t been published because it doesn’t meet our Philips content guidelines. 1. directs business away 2. contains inappropriate content Would you like to have another go? You can resubmit your review.” I did not post inappropriate content. I documented honestly the issues I had with my experience over multiple attempts over two days to make a purchase. That was it. No company is perfect. I identified an issue in a review. Btw, I and members of my household own other Philips products. Caveat emptor.

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.

I like the toothbrush for the price. They are more expensive but this is just fine for the price and does well. My teeth feel actually clean - I don't like to use a regular toothbrush anymore unless I'm traveling. they have travel accessories for your tooth brush but I just pack a regular tooth brush for weekend getaways

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 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.
