Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been wanting an electric toothbrush like this for a long time. Definitely happy with the product.

It is toothbrush works exactly like I expected it to.

I had an Oral-B electric toothbrush that I thought was amazing, until I tried this toothbrush. The technology that goes into the sonic vibrations of the Sonicare, are far superior to the almost mechanical feel of the Oral-B. When I was trying the 6100 out, I judged it based on ease of use, ability to clean, and overall technology. It is very easy to use. Out of the box, you charge it on the provided charger and wait until it is ready. It also comes with a handy travel case, which is common with all models these days. Also common is the two minute interval timer. I have not used a toothbrush that does not have such a timer, with the exception of helping my daughter brush with her “trolls” toothbrush. You simply brush in one quarter of your mouth for 30 seconds and you will feel a different pulse when it is time to move to the next section. Easy as it gets. It cleans VERY well. I think superior to my Oral-B as I previously mentioned. Both clean well on the surface, but I feel the 6100 really gets between the teeth and in the hard to reach places like behind your back molars. It does not hurt my gums at all. Also, it has three modes. Clean, White and Gum Care are the three different modes, and there are also three different intensities. So in essence there is a mode for everyone. As far as the tech goes with the 6100, it pretty cool. First off, I like the fact it has a sensor between the head and the smart handle. It will tell you when you need to replace the head, and I have not seen that before. It seems like something that would be pretty obvious as a feature, but I have never had a brush with that sort of feature. I like that idea. Also, if you brush too hard, the brush will make a pulsating sound to remind you to back off a little. Very smart. I have to says it will literally give you that fresh from the dentist feel to your teeth. Like they are polished. I do caution you to make sure to keep the 6100 in your mouth while it is on, as it is very intense and will shoot toothpaste all over if you don’t. I am not a big fan of cleaning off my mirror twice a day, so take the little bit of advice. Given that small consideration, this thing is amazing and worth the investment in your oral health. I highly recommend it to anyone.

I like it a lot but the metal piece the brush head goes on became loose and now I can’t really use it. It worked as it should’ve for about 4-5 months.

Good toothbrush, not worth the money. Quality is not the best. This is my second one in less than six months.

I love how well 6100 works. My teeth feel clean hours after I brush. I don think I will ever use a manual toothbrush again.

My experience with power toothbrushes is limited to just this one, but the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is a great device. I prefer now using a power toothbrush over a manual, and so I expect my experience to grow in time. In the box, you get a charging base, the toothbrush handle, a cap, and a W DiamondClean brush head. The ProtectiveClean 6100 is designed to detect which type of brush head is attached via a microchip in the brush head that communicates with the handle. The handle automatically selects the suggested mode and intensity levels, so it's ready to go without needing to manually change any settings. With that said, the toothbrush should already have some charge in it for a quick start. All you need to do is attach the brush head, which is very easy to do, and press the power button. If you prefer a more control, you can change the mode and intensity yourself with a few button presses on the front. The box claims that the ProtectiveClean 6100 is capable of 31,000 brush strokes per minute. I don't know if this is true, but based on how clean my teeth feel and look after brushing, I don't worry about that number so much. What's great is that you do not need to apply a lot of pressure, and if you do, the vibration of the handle will change to alert you that you're using too much pressure, as it can sense this. I haven't fully tested the white mode or gum care modes, and so I cannot review much of that. I can say that they don't feel much different than the standard clean mode. The manual makes mention of optimal brush heads for each mode if you'd like to be thorough as possible when cleaning your teeth or gums. One feature that I'm still unsure of is the quadpacer. The timer built into the handle has a short beep and pause to let you know when you should begin a new section of your mouth. The cleaning mode lasts for two minutes before turning off. Though it's just a reminder, I often feel rushed and as if 30 seconds per quad isn't long enough, so I usually restart the toothbrush once it shuts off. Unlike the other features built into the ProtectiveClean 6100, this feature cannot be deactivated. This is probably my only real qualm with the product. Just like manual toothbrushes can wear over time and need replacing, so do the brush heads. The handle tells you when it's time to replace your brush head, which is very convenient. I haven't had to replace mine yet, so I can't comment on how long a brush head typically lasts. Overall, I really like this power toothbrush. I haven't gone back to a manual toothbrush and have no plans doing so. I love how clean my teeth look and feel after every use. My dental hygienist has a Sonicare product, and that says a bit, too.

Pile of crap died almost 2 years to the day, except it was a week after and they would not give me an exception to RMA it.

I bought it 2 months ago, and now it won't charge. There's a beep three or five times, and the battery indicator blinks orange. I kept it on the charger for more than 24 hours. Contacting Sonicare support.

Bought for my granddaughter who uses it faithfully twice a day which I attribute to the quality of the toothbrush

My girlfriend love it, was a great Christmas gift we up grade with are gsp program.

Such a game changer when it comes down to oral Hygiene. 10/10 would recommend

I used an earlier version of a Sonicare toothbrush so I have years of experience with them. I would estimate my dental cleanings were reduced from a painful 45 minutess/1 hour to under 35 minutes. That is total time, the biggest time reduction was the amount of time the tech spends scraping tartar. My teeth are visibly cleaner/whiter if I use a whitening toothpaste and my mouth is overall more healthy than before I started using it. The Protective Clean 6100 offers some additional features over my prior model that I think are worth the price. Has 3 speed settings - There is a pressure sensor which gently warns you by pulsing its speed creating a rhythmic sound if you press the toothbrush too hard. . This is not only good for your gums but also helps in making the brush heads (which are expensive) last longer - Brush head replacement reminder indicator. - If you utilize the stock brush head replacements it will automatically select between the 3 available modes (Clean, White or Gum Care). You always however have the option to select the mode manually. These brush heads do come at a cost though. - This model comes standard with the Diamond clean (HX6063/65) chip enabled brush head. Which is really the same brush head as the regular DiamondClean head HX6063/64 with an additional embedded chip - Quadpacer, Li-Ion battery resulting in a slimmer handle than some others. A timer lets you know when your done. - Travel Case is included. I have used mine for two full weeks without charging so travel without the charger is possible. In a world of gimmicky things this turns out to not be one of them. I can't recommend enough replacing your toothbrush with a Sonicare.

Worked less than 1 1/2 years. For what it cost, this is a terrible product. I will never buy another Sonic product

After four months of regular use, the toothbrush barely works. Even fully charged, it is not strong enough to clean your teeth and sometimes won't turn on at all. Very disappointed.

100% excellent recommend very good experience I have

I found this toothbrush to to reasonably priced and works extremely well.

Love this!! I would totally recommend this to any of my friends!

Don’t work as expected. Is way too hard no different levels very disappointed

This Philips SoniCare rechargeable toothbrush is a must for cleaner and whiter teeth, and healthy gums. It is super easy to use with a two button configuration. The head seemed a little small at first, but once you get used to it, and use the timer built it, you come away a clean smile.
