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.

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

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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've only used Philips Sonic toothbrushes for years. I had my teeth whitened, it ended up removing some of my enamel. Now my teeth stain easily, I was getting my teeth cleaned at the Dentist 4 times a year. This is the only toothbrushes that remove my stains. It's truly the best.

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.

My husband and I wanted to buy easy to use but good quality electric toothbrushes. After reading several reviews we decided on Philips Sonicare 6100 ProtectiveClean. It is incredibly easy to plug in and use. The buttons are simple and the instructions couldn’t be easier.

FEATURES: I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. Two things I liked immediately about this toothbrush were a higher vibration frequency and smaller brush head design than my previous electronic toothbrush (a competitor`s). I find it easier to position the brush where I want it. RESULTS: I have a small chip on a tooth where I normally get some coffee staining and right away I saw that this new toothbrush has definitely caused the staining to decrease! TECHNOLOGY: I noticed a mark at the base of where the head plugs onto the toothbrush handle and was surprised to find that the toothbrush can detect which brush head is attached. This will allow the toothbrush to monitor use and let us know when it is time to replace it. Since my partner brushes more frequently than I, this feature will make it easy to know when it is time for a new brush head. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and plan to continue using it.

I received a free unit for product testing to review, but this toothbrush exceeded expectations of what a powered toothbrush can do. The most impressive features were the quadpacer and the pressure sensitivity. It was very helpful to know that I may have been brushing too hard at times, and the brush pulses when too much force is being used. Similarly the quadpacer is a great reminder to brush each area of your mouth equally instead of guesstimating while doing it manually. Although, I would have liked some additional time added for tongue cleaning. It`s great for teeth cleaning and breaking the mouth into quadrants and areas, but would have to restart to add additional tongue brushing. Teeth felt cleaner after each brush. Have only used it the brush for about 10 days so haven`t seen much in the sense of whitening so I can`t speak to that impact. The lighting on the brush can be bright. The replacement heads are more expensive. When brushing, I seemed to gleek more if my mouth wasn`t fully closed. All in all, very pleased with the brush. Interested to see if the whitening improves and how the next dental check up goes after using this brush extensively.

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion. This is my first experience with an electric toothbrush. I found this product easy to set up and use. I appreciate how well it holds a charge, and the controls are easy to navigate. I did not like the connection between the brush head and the wand. Application of very little pressure caused the connection to be interrupted. I also would prefer a larger brush head. I believe I`ll likely go back to a standard toothbrush now that my trial period has ended. I feel like this is an acceptable electric toothbrush, but the inconveniences of the small brush head and the loose connection would keep me from recommending it to friends and family.
