Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have used several different electric toothbrushes in my life, including the very first Sonicare many, many years ago. This is not the best one I have ever used, but it certainly provides the best value for your money. If you have never used one of these types of toothbrushes before, it may take a little getting used to. I know the first couple times I used one I could feel a little funny vibration in my ear drums! But after a couple uses I got used to it and have used nothing but these sort of tooth brushes since. I can also say in the last 25 years or so I have not had a single cavity or dental issue at all. The features are basic. You get a beep every 30 seconds and then auto shuts off after two minutes. That gives you 30 seconds of cleaning for each quadrant of your mouth. You will hear a slight alarm beep if you start pushing too hard. The unit includes a nice little charging base and that’s pretty much it. But honestly, this all you need. I have a model with LED lights and an accompanying app that will give you a smile if you hit 2 minutes of brushing :) But that unit costs 4 times this one and they both clean about the same. I can’t recommend this style of toothbrush enough. I think most everyone should use one. That being said if you want the best bang for your buck, I’d strongly recommend this unit. This is a very solid basic model with a reasonable price tag. The replacement heads are fairly inexpensive as well. This product gets a strong 5 star rating from me and I would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

My first Sonicare product was a purchase recommended by a dentist decades ago. That initial one died because the battery would not keep a charge and simply stopped working. That took about a year and a half. The second and last one was one I bought. It had the bells and whistles that cleaned the heads when not in use with a UV light. It was cool but that eventually died out in a year as well. The light stopped working, the toothbrush base stopped working as well. With this second bout, I chose to use a yet cheaper competitor and really have not looked back. I am happy with the other brand, but was interested to see if they have improved over the years. I am ok with this lower cost offering. I mean there isn't a brick only a usb cord. I understand it saves a number of trees and frees up resources to make it greener, but what if we don't have any of the usb plug chargers? There is a site to request one and is included in the packaging. I am not sure I like this method. I am all for a greener environment and all, but it is extremely inconvenient. I don't know, maybe improve on the packaging a bit more? But onto the usage. The brush does come with the minimal stuff but with a huge paper instruction manual. In using the brush, it does have a pressure monitor and tones to let you know to move onto another area. The battery indicator is nice and discrete, but you will need the manual to tell you the different modes. It is not self explanatory. In uniform Sonicare fashion, the brush comes on a default setting for people who have not used electronic toothbrushes before. It is laid out in the manual, but for a consumer that has been using them for years, you have to switch that to the normal to me setting. If you leave it as is, the brush will gradually go to normal setting by 14 uses or one weeks time. All in all, this is a super simple budget brush which is decently built. I have yet to use it and will have to report back on long term usage. I tend to break them lol.

This model has been working well for ehat it offers. I like the slimmer profile. Please note no AC adapter included in package. Phillips generously sent an AC adapter when contacted by phone

This is my first electric toothbrush. Seems to have plenty of cleaning power. I will say, the ultrasonic oscillation did take some getting used to, but I'm glad I stuck with it! I love that it tells you when to change positions/when you've reached 2 mins. I feel like this with have a positive impact on my overall oral health.

No longer will charge :-( Worked fine up until a few days ago when it stopped charging or running.

What I liked about this toothbrush right off the bat was how easy it was to put it together & how fast it charged. As soon as I opened it, all I had to do was attach the brush to the handle and charge it for about 20 minutes or less. It doesn’t have any weight to it which makes it as easy as holding a regular toothbrush compared to other electrical toothbrushes with a little weight on them. With that being said, what I didn’t like was how powerful the toothbrush was. It has two levels of power and the lowest one was still a little too strong for me. Not only was it an unpleasant cleaning experience because of how powerful it was but I actually had to switch to my regular toothbrush midway to finish brushing my teeth in peace because the strong vibration started hurting my teeth. I’ve used an electrical toothbrush before along with a water pick and it was a smooth experience. The vibration was just right and my teeth didn’t hurt during or after my cleaning which is what I expected with this one so this toothbrush was a tad intimidating for me. If you’ve been using electrical toothbrushes it shouldn’t be an issue for you but for someone who’s never owned one before it may be a little intimidating and getting used to. Especially if you have sensitive teeth and gums. If the power wouldn’t have been so strong, I would’ve loved to kept using this toothbrush but it isn’t for people with sensitivity.

This is a good product and it is a very good product and it is very easy to use and it cleans my teeth perfectly well.

Let’s be honest toothbrush are pretty mundane. But the Phillips Sonicare really take you on a brushing journey! 2 min timer that lets you know when brushing time is done with switching sides as well! Because who really just stands there counting? Let the brush do it for you. How’s it perform? Really well surprisingly! It’s not abrasive or harsh on the gums- I have sensitive gums and this was very gentle. It left me feeling extra clean versus a regular brush. I felt it removed more plaque than a normal brush so that’s a big bonus! Highly recommend!

Thinner, easier to handle toothbrush wirh a powerful motor. Brush also is smaller than my old one and easier to get all surfaces, Charge lasted about a week. Happy with this buy.

My new electric toothbrush is a lovely design. Is it has a different kind of plug, but it holds a charge for a long time. It’s also very easy to keep clean.

We have used these toothbrushes for many years. It’s essentially the same as before except for a couple things. This particular model has 2 speed settings which is helpful especially if you have sensitive teeth. It’s smaller which is a plus also in my option. The only negative is having a usb connection on the charger. It does make it easier to travel with but even in 2022 who doesn’t have an outlet near a sink in a bathroom. Basically nobody but few have a usb outlet so basically you need to have a charging plug anyway. I probably would have stuck with a plain old plug but otherwise it’s better in every other way.

It holds a charge for a very long time. Easy to use while multi tasking.

I know it is hard to expect much from a toothbrush, but I was disappointed it does not come with a power block. I know everyone has one but then it means taking one from your phone to charge your toothbrush of all things. I also felt the toothbrush head was too small for someone with a bigger mouth. It works and is nice and not painful at all. I ended up having to brush my teeth twice just to make sure I did not miss anything. It is a good basic rechargeable toothbrush. If you want extra features or a plug then look for a higher end model.

Spend a little money on yourself and get really clean teeth. The Philip Sonicare 4100 Power Toothbrush gets your teeth clean like you went to the dentist. I like the small head brush because it can get to hard to reach spots in my month. Couple of knocks on this: comes with a USB charging base which is weird and replacement heads can be expensive (but that’s true on all electronic tooth brushes). This wont change me from recommending this to friends

I've had this about a month and I love it. I was thinking about a $150 toothbrush from another company, but this has everything I need. I used Consumer Reports to see which ones were quieter. The head is very small and can fit around all my teeth, including the back. I've dropped it once and it survived just fine. I've used Oral-B in the past and it had an annoying tickle-effect on my nose. This one has no issues and 2 speeds.

After my bottom-of-the-barrel Oral-B electric toothrbush finally kicked the bucket it didn't take long to find a suitable replacement in the 4100. One, relative to its competitors, it's affordable, and two, the feature set is rich despite its affordability. All the functionality I would reasonably want out of a better toothbrush, with none of the gimmicks that plague its higher priced selection offers. I wholeheartedly recommend this device to anyone looking to change out from their existing manual brush or discount electric brush.

Best product I have ever bought for hygiene. I would definitely recommend to buy this toothbrush especially because it’s very cheap and works great for keeping your teeth clean.

Good cleaning, easy to use, price is reasonable & easy to travel with

I bought this because my dentist recommended it, and I love it, I got some stubborn scum off of my retainers and my teeth feel cleaner, and I love how long the battery lasts.

The Philips Sonicare 4100 cleans my teeth, so it does the job. I do wish it had a plug for charging instead of just the USB charger, but I knew that when I bought it so I'm not disappointed.
