Customers praise the ProtectiveClean 4100 for its exceptional cleaning ability, long-lasting battery life, and ease of use. Many also appreciate its affordable price and the helpful built-in timer. While some found the vibration level somewhat intense and noted a lack of advanced features or multiple cleaning modes compared to higher-priced models, the positive feedback on cleaning effectiveness and battery life outweighs these concerns for most users.

    My mother's wedding anniversary kinda snuck up on me this year and so I paniced and began feverishly scanning through the BEST BUY website looking for something that might be the picture of perfection. I stumbled upon the sonic care 4100 toothbrush. I selected a white with blue green and the black for my folks.

    Nice Features / Tooth Brush Too Small

    This was my first time using an electric tooth brush so decided to try it out with the Philips Sonicare. Overall I enjoyed the product however my only concern was the brush itself is way too small for my large mouth. For anyone trying out an electric toothbrush for the first time it does take a little getting use too as you find yourself going at a different pace along with having your mouth vibrate. The Philips Sonicare comes with 4 features that are helpful and you can disable them if you like which is a nice added bonus. Pros: Long Battery Life (2 Weeks) Quick Charging Easy to Clean Features Cons: Brush Too Small A little on heavy side Cost For Replacement Brushes BATTERY / CHARGING = The battery usage was good, it lasted for me about 2 weeks of 2 times a day usage. The battery is "Technically" removable however it says only to remove when disposing the product and voids your warranty so would advise against it unless absolutely necessary. The Charge station is nice, small and does not take up a lot of room. The time it takes to fully charge was surprisingly quick which is nice when having to pick up and run. FEATURES = Easy Start :: This is a "smart" feature that the Philips Sonicare learns your brushing habits after around 14 brushes and increases intensity over time. I believe they wanted to ease you in that way it would not be a complete shock feeling this sonic vibration in your mouth. I honestly have not noticed a difference for myself after using it over 20 times however if you have sensitive gums you may notice this more. The added bonus is you can disable this feature by following the included guide. Brush Head Replacement:: This feature tracks how often you have used the brush and the amount of pressure used over time. It is assuming the more usage the more the bristles wear down to where you have to push harder to feel it cleaning. You are able to deactivate this feature as well however I left it on as its a nice reminder when needing to replace the brush head. Pressure Senor:: I really like this feature because I always have a bad habit of pressing hard on my tooth brush. When the Philips Sonicare notices you are pressing too hard it drastically reduces the vibration to notify you to not press so hard. Once you relieve the pressure it resumes the normal vibration level. I would recommend leaving this feature on however you can disable this feature as well if needed. Quadpacer:: This feature has an interval timer that does a short beep then pause on the vibration to have you move to a different section of the mouth. After the 4 beeps for the 4 sections it auto turns off. This would work fine for those why small mouth cavities however I have a very large mouth and it is very annoying having to turn the toothbrush back on. Unfortunately you are unable to turn off this feature but I did not remove a star for this because it was very easy to hit the button to turn it back on.

    Excellent product, the vibration strength is perfect to loosen up all the buildup in between your teeth another great feature is the timer on it, it lets you know how long you need to brush for, it leaves a clean sensation in your mouth, the one down side is that unlike other models this one only has one speed and it might be too much sometimes specially if you have sensitive gums, over all i would say it is great as long as you do not have sensitive gums, if you do u might want to get one that has different levels of intensity...

    Brilliant Toothbrush

    What you first discover if you have been brushing your teeth with a manual toothbrush, after the first use of the Sonicare 4100 you will notice that your teeth feel much smoother – they are in fact cleaner. My family and I have all noticed this the first time using Sonicare products. As they say the proof is in the pudding. Sonicare has been in the electric toothbrush industry for a long time and their technologies have advanced brilliantly over the years. A few Features: EasyStart which comes activated and gently increases the power over the first 14 brushings. Reminds you when to replace your brush head. Pressure sensor which protects your teeth from excessive pressure. A feature that I love over the older models are the new handles, they have an excellent feel to them, svelte with an elegant look – looks good on the counter. Bottom-line, if you want clean teeth with proven technology give the Sonicare 4100 a look.

    The Philips Sonicare 4100 is a game changer for dental hygiene. It cleans thoroughly and leaves my teeth feeling super smooth and fresh. The pressure sensor is helpful and prevents over-brushing. Battery life is impressive—I only need to charge it every couple of weeks. Highly recommend for anyone upgrading from a manual toothbrush.

    Nice sleek design, easy to grip. The 30 seconds timer for each quadrant is helpful as well as the automatic 2 min shutoff. It has a good battery life and the brush head changes from blue to white to let you know when to replace the brush head.

    Protect your Enamel and have a clean teeth

    What's in the box ----------------- 1. Battery charger 2. Gum care brush head 3. Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 Rechargeable Toothbrush 4. Travel case Summary ------- Good Compact High Speed Toothbrush with Alert for too much Pressure and a Lithium Ion Battery and a good price! The Details ----------- I have 2 soniccare toothbrushes (Essence & Series 2)and 1 braun toothbrush. Braun being the cheapest of all. I think toothbrushes have progressively gotten more and more expensive due to these becoming high tech, powerful and high speed. However, the good part is that, as you get older, you get gingivitis and in some cases periodontis which means you have pockets in your gums. You need more than just a regular electric toothbrush. you really need a high speed toothbrush to make sure you have lesser visits to the dentist. One Important and big issue with electric toothbrushes is that you apply pressure and the brushes also becoming more powerful exerts a lot of pressure on your teeth and cause abrasions. This will wear out your enamel and thats the reason why you have sensitive tooth. This brush has a sensor which will alert you when you are applying too much pressure. This tooth brush is super fast with 62k movements per min you can be rest assuraed that your tetth will be super cleean. This brush also has a sensor to tell you if your brush head is wearing out, i have not tested it but i am pretty sure it is going to be more conservative and you will need to make your own judgement than relying on the sensor

    I recently purchased the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 in white, and I'm thrilled with its performance. This electric toothbrush has truly transformed my oral care routine. The sleek design, ergonomic handle, and comfortable brush head make it a pleasure to use. The built-in pressure sensor ensures I brush with the right amount of force, protecting my gums. The sonic technology effectively removes plaque, leaving my teeth clean and refreshed. With a long-lasting battery, and easy maintenance, the ProtectiveClean 4100 is a must-have. I highly recommend it for exceptional oral care!

    A simple and amazing toothbrush which will leave you feeling spectacular after every use. Cleans deeper than any normal handheld with waaaaaay less effort. The bristles are quality and havent bent in the slightest after a month's usage. I love the way the black looks in contrast to my bathroom sink. Feels very nice in hand and has plenty of vibrational power, not to mention the awesome battery life. I was waiting for a toothbrush to go on sale and after waiting a week or so I scooped this beauty up for over 50% off. 10/10 Highly Recommend to All!

    Honestly this mid level sonicare is all I need. I used to get the top of the line models and while they cleaned a little better the difference is minor. They all work great at cleaning our Teeth. So when my high end model died. I went with this model and it cleans very well. And it being black is great too since these toothbrushes are known to turn yellowish if you don’t clean regularly(most of us don’t right? Lol) . Great deal and definitely a great value especially since I got it on sale too.

    I've been using Philips Sonicare toothbrushes for about a decade, and I can't recommend them enough. I've never been able to achieve such a clean feeling with manual toothbrushes, and the pulsating action is much gentler on my sensitive gums than the old back-and-forth (although it does take some getting used to.) I've always bought the entry level 1100 model when the batteries start to go (which is to say, after 4 or 5 years of regular use,) but opted for a small upgrade this time in the 4100. I think the additions of pressure sensors and battery lights are worth the extra cost. I didn't realize until now, but I've been using far too little pressure when brushing (yet still achieving a very good clean.) The battery light is nice; it has multiple states that indicate the charge level, all the way down to when you can only brush a few more times before needing to recharge. Takes the guesswork out of blindly charging. There's not a whole lot else to say -- it's a toothbrush! It requires you to learn a different approach to brushing (think more of how a dentist deep cleans each individual tooth, rather than brushing back and forth.) That's about it. I feel this is really the sweet spot in the Sonicare line. The cheaper units do away with useful conveniences such as the battery indicator and the pressure sensor, but still provide an excellent clean, if you want to save a few bucks. The brush heads are best bought on sale and in bulk. There's no way around the huge increase in cost percentage versus using a traditional toothbrush, but I find it a small price to pay for how much better it cleans. Realistically, you're looking at around +$30 a year for a dentist-clean mouthfeel, every day. I'll never go back! It's that good!
