Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Philips Sonicare 2100 comes with 1 brush head with travel cap, 1 power handle and a USB powered stand. You must provide your own power adapter as it is not included in the package. You also get a very comprehensive manual, which is appreciated in an era where user manuals seem to have disappeared. The first thing Philips recommends is to fully charge the handle which can take up to 24 hours (mine took about 8 hours). However, you can use the toothbrush prior to completing the first charge. Philips states that the battery should provide 28 full 2-minute brushings per charge. You can leave the toothbrush in the charger all of the time to keep it fully charged but that is not necessary. There is a charging light on the handle to let you know the state of charge. Philips has recommended that you spend 2 minutes to properly brush your teeth. The toothbrush features a Quad Pacer which is a timing device that momentarily pauses the brushing every 30 seconds. They recommend that you divide your teeth into 4 quadrants and spend 30 seconds on each section. At the end of the 2 minutes the toothbrush will turn off. I find this feature to be very convenient, but if you don’t you can turn it off. If you have never brushed with a Sonicare toothbrush before, it feels different from any other toothbrush. The manual will give you tips on the proper method which requires very little pressure to be applied to your teeth. You have to allow the brush to do all of the work. It comes programmed with an easy start feature. This is a program which starts off gently and gradually increases in intensity over the first 14 uses. This allows you to get used to the intensity of the toothbrush. This feature can also be turned off if you have used a Sonicare before or if you feel you don’t need it. You can also manually choose between low and high intensity. So, now the most important thing is how does it clean, and the answer is Superb. It is the closest thing to a cleaning at the dentist office. It is quieter than other electric toothbrushes. It is very light yet feels very well built and premium quality. I highly recommend the Philips Sonicare 2100.

. My family use sonicare 6100 which has a couple of different modes, but we don't use them. This unit does the job. The motor and brush is very similar to the 6100. The reason for 4 stars is that the unit comes with a charging base that has a usb plug but does not come with a power brick. Not a big deal now a days, considering most will have power bricks laying around, but if you don't, then you must buy one. Also, the brush itself was a little smaller than the 6100, look at my picture.

This tooth brush is really quiet. Love how easy it is to hold.

I have used an electric power toothbrush for a few years. I have had better dental cleaning visits by using these. Works well and cleans well. Good purchase

Does a good job especially considering the reasonable price

Great toothbrush cleans very good i recommended this tòothbrush.

Nice toothbrush, works great. Really gives a good cleaning.

Love it! Works much better than a regular brush, leaves my mouth clean and feeling great.

Great price at Best Buy. I have to replace it a lot so better to buy it at Best Buy then anywhere else. Also comes fast

This electric toothbrush is way more powerful then I expected. It acts like the 100 dollar toothbrush we bought a few years ago and gave away but our dentist told us we have to have one so I bought this one expecting a way inferior product to the more expensive one, but it does work just as well so far. We have not had it longer then a month so don't yet know if it will hold up.

I always felt like the regular toothbrush gave a good clean but not the best clean. This auto toothbrush gives me that fresh clean feel i was looking for.

Good price & quality..recommend this purchase...easy ordering on line

This product works real good, for a hygienist to notice the difference after thirty days of use.

Gently cleans my teeth. Running great so far, doesn't need frequent recharging.

Good Product and sleek in design. Easy to handle. Got it for my kid.

Great purchase, easy to use, long lasting battery and easy to pack for traveling.

Excellent purchase, will recommend it if you are looking for a no fuss electric toothbrush.

Price is great and value for the price is also great

Great makes brushing better and my teeth feel more clean

I love my new Sonicare power toothbrush. I’ve previously used battery operated spinning brushes you buy in the toothbrush section, but this is my first time trying a Sonicare. This is also the first time I’ve had to read the instructions for a toothbrush before using it, lol. And I’m glad I did! At first glance you think, just charge it, press the button, brush and done. But there is so much more here. This toothbrush not only gives you a top-notch sonic cleaning, it also instructs you along the way! The Sonicare 2100 comes nicely packaged in a small easy to recycle box. Along with the handle unit it includes a charging base, USB charging cable, one toothbrush head and a hygienic travel cap. This does not come with a power adapter, however you can contact Philips support to have onc sent to you for free. There is also an offer to receive a free brush head, however after following the steps I couldn’t figure out how to get it so I called customer support. I was told that you have to sign up for one of the Sonicare brush head subscription plans to receive the free head. The subscription plans cost between $7.99 and $11.99 every three months to receive a new head every three months. Furthermore, out of the eight brush head designs they offer, all but one are currently out of stock. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a new brush head in three months, when it’s time to replace mine. The vibrations from the Sonicare can take some getting used to, but luckily it comes preset with the EasyStart feature turned on. EasyStart gently increases the power over your first fourteen brushings to help you adapt to brushing with the Sonicare. You can turn this feature off if you don’t want to wait fourteen brushings to experience the full power of your Sonicare. Another cool feature of the Sonicare is something they call the QuadPacer, an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the four sections of your mouth evenly and thoroughly. It gives you thirty seconds to brush each section. The instruction booklet includes a diagram of teeth and how to divide it into the four sections. There is also a SmarTimer feature which turns off the toothbrush after two minutes of brushing, which is the minimum time recommended by Dental professionals. Personally, I don’t understand why they choose to set the timer to the minimum recommended time. Why shoot for the minimum? Also, the QuadPacer has you brush the front top, back top, front bottom, back bottom, then the timer goes off. It doesn’t offer time to brush the top and bottom chewing surfaces. You have to start the brush again to continue brushing. Either I’m not understanding this fully or they didn’t put much thought into the timing between the QuadPacer and the SmarTimer. Either way, it’s not that hard to press the button again and go for another round of brushing. The battery seems to last a long time, I’ve been using this for about five days now and have only charged it once, after I first got it. I’ll probably only charge it when the battery light indicator starts flashing at me, that way I don’t have to have a cord and charger sitting on my bathroom countertop all the time. Overall I’m very happy that I got this Sonicare toothbrush. Brushing just got a little more exciting and my teeth feel cleaner than ever before! I don’t think I’ll go back to a regular toothbrush again, unless I can’t find any new brush heads. We will see. ;)
