I bought this because my dentist recommended that I use an electric toothbrush. I had used some less expensive ones in the past (a different brand), and didn't mind them, but went back to manual toothbrushes eventually. This time, I decided to get a Sonicare, even though it was more expensive, as it seemed like it had good reviews. When I got it, I was excited to try it, and the packaging and accessories all looked nice. But the feel of it was awful--I stopped brushing after a short while and went to read the manual more, thinking maybe I was doing something wrong. I realized there was an an "easy start" feature, which I turned on and which made it a little more bearable, but not by a lot. And after reading through the manual more, I realized that certain features for which I had bought the toothbrush (such as pressure sensor) needed to be activated first (I thought that would be automatically turned on). I had to navigate through the manual and listen and watch for a certain series of beeps and lights to try to figure out if I had turned it on or not. There are different beeps, tones, and lights which try to tell you which features are turned on and off, but I found them fairly confusing, and I went through about twenty cycles trying to make sure I had turned on the pressure sensor. Also, it doesn't seem like the toothbrush stays on long enough to brush all your teeth properly. Maybe I'll get more used to it (if I can stand it long enough to get used to it), but it just seemed like it didn't stay on long enough. I tried a couple of times with this toothbrush, and after the second time it turned off, I finally just decided to brush my teeth with my manual toothbrush. Also, after all that I went and re-read the manual yet again, and I noticed it was a manual for the 6100 toothbrush (and not this 4300 toothbrush). I'm sure that contributed to my confusion about the settings. Also, the pictures for this item show a tongue brush, but that was not included in my package. Furthermore, the package says there are two intensity settings for this toothbrush, but the manual does not say how to switch between them or tell which one is activated (actually, the manual says there are three intensity settings and that I can press the mode/intensity button to change them, but that button only exists on the 6100 model, and not this 4300 model which I have, so I have no idea how to change the intensity). Lastly, the brush head that comes with this is so small that it takes a really long time to brush all your teeth. Every time I brush my teeth, I have to turn it back on several times, as it turns off before I have brushed all my teeth.

Just bought this set and promptly sent it back. The new design is so slick that it slips out of your hand when using. Was this thing even tested before it hit the market? Have used Sonicare toothbrushes for close to 20 years. This is the poorest quality brush. Hope it is not indicative of all their new brushes.

I was advised to try this tooth brush cleaner by my dental hygienist, and bought the Phillips sonic 4500. I really enjoy using this product, feels great after every brush. My partner has now started to use as well. The only thing I dislike is the apt …downloaded ok but was unable to connect with my iPhone XR. Can't find my iPhone.

Every time I brush my teeth, it feels really clean just like coming back from the dentist. The brush cycle is 2 mins long and it can go many weeks without charging. And it is beautiful and thoughtful. Starting from the cylindrical charging pod and ending with the ergonomic body shape of the brush.

I got this toothbrush a few months ago and use it often. This brush cleans really well, and is very powerful without being harsh. It is still gentle, and both modes, clean and gum care are gentle. I noticed significant difference in my oral hygiene after switching to this brush, my dental office noticed as well. Less tartar forms while using this brush regularly, my gums are healthier, and my teeth are whiter as well. I'm extremely happy with this brush and highly recommend. It also carries a charge for a very long time, I've been extremely impressed with it and would definitely keep using and buy a similar model in the future when I need to but I don't see that happening soon because the product is so great I'm sure I won't need to replace for a long time.

I have had a Sonicare electric toothbrush for about 20 years and it finally bit the dust. I purchased this one due to mid-range price and it not offering much less than the "superior" toothbrushes. This is super lightweight, which might be a good thing, but it feels so cheap. The handle (body) is also smooth and looks really nice - I bought black) but it is slippery. The older ones had a rubber body.

This is a fantastic toothbrush that holds an amazingly long charge.

My teeth feel professionally cleaned every time I use it!

Teeth never felt so clean. Worth every penny.

Works great . Has several speeds and is easy to operate. The 2 minute timer is very useful.
