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 bought this that only lasted for a year. And way too expensive that didn't last longer.Now my toothbrush Is creating a lot of noise and i saw a lot of reviews they have the same problem. I won't recommend this product and don't waste your money for this kind of electric toothbrush!

I am now on my second replacement for this product. The metal bar that connects to the toothbrush heads keeps coming loose leading to a loud and terrible experience. I used to have a Diamond Clean that randomly died after 5 years so I bought this when I was in a pinch. It has been 2 terrible years

Bought this for my 12 y.o. daughter. She loves it, and I would say it is working much better than her previous electric toothbrush, a subscription service type. During the pandemic, we didn't go to the dentist for cleaning. My daughter's teeth were getting very yellow with plaque build-up, yet I knew she was brushing, at least as well as most 12 year olds do. After the dentist got her teeth clean again I knew I had to go with something else, and she uses this now and her teeth don't have plaque build up, though her brushing habits remain the same. Plus it travels well. Plus she loves the color.

After using the product just once I feel like I just visited the dental hygienist. Teeth are amazingly clean. If you have an older version of this device throw it away and get one of these. It is well worth it. I used the brush with the W and they have several brush types. The unit has several modes and speeds which you get used to the more you use it. The array of replacement brushes is quite large and a little confusing but I intend to use several until I get the perfect one for me. I could however just use the W brush that came with the unit and it still would be perfect.

I finally made the switch to an electric toothbrush about a month ago. I originally had the Oral-B 8000 and it was too bulky, too loud, just too much. So I exchanged it for a Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 and I've never loved brushing more! I love the three levels of intensities and that I can adjust the timing of brushing by selecting a different mode. The battery lasts me about 10 days before it starts telling me it's dying. And even then, I can use it another 4 or 5 before it's time to charge it. Today I had a dental cleaning and my hygienist kept commenting on how nice my gums look and how clean my teeth are, that there was virtually nothing in terms of tartar or plaque. I'm so glad I decided to finally up my brushing game with an electric brush.

It worked really well for the first two years. However, after that, the battery performance declined significantly. Now, my toothbrush needs to be recharged after only three days of use. Also, it's vibrating less powerfully, and the metal shaft where the brush head fits is loose. Luckily, I had six more months of extended warranty, so I got a replacement toothbrush handle. But yeah, I did have higher expectations for such an expensive toothbrush.

I am disappointed in the area that holds the mouth wash. If you do not use all of what you put in - it leaks out. Doesn't seem to have a real tight seal. The rest of the item is good. It did take me a couple of times to learn how to get the best results between the teeth

I started using Sonicare many years ago before they changed the brush head style. Those first ones were built like tanks. The new ones are more fragile, more expensive, and have fewer features. I recently bought a competitor brand, and although I don't like the tiny round brushes, the handles have rubber molded in so you can grip them better, a much better quality feel, and the brush head mounting takes the stress off the shaft. They also have more brush modes, more brush head options, and they can attach to my phone to track usage. Oh, there's also a programmable light ring color so you can tell them apart. All for less than these. (Sonicare, in case you're reading this, this is a hint to either improve the product, or reduce the price to a reasonable level) That said, I think these do a better job cleaning my teeth. I just hope they last long enough to be worth the cost. I'm keeping the other ones, just in case.

Total garbage, I don't even use it anymore! The pressure sensor drives you banana's and if you brush without setting it off it DOES NOT clean your teeth. I tried this model because of the multiple Diamond Clean's I had all crapped out. What happened to Sonicare? I wish I still had my older models that just worked, brutal!
