The 4100 is a great upgrade from my older Philips Sonicare Toothbrush. The only minor problem was that the item did not contain a AC power adapter, only a USB cord charger. A quick call to Philips and the USB/AC adapter was sent out and arrived within three days. The Philips agent said they did this to prevent waste for those who don’t need the adapter. Be sure to call, as their automated website did not list the 4100 I ordered as eligible for a adapter–and without eligibility, the adapter is about $20. Just had to wait a few days, but now happy with the toothbrush. The upgrades from the older Essence model make this a superior toothbrush. Recommended!

I love this toothbrush. It has me brushing my teeth several times a day. The sonic vibration is very gentle yet effectively cleans your teeth. The charging station is straightforward to use and looks great. It has two speeds, which I didn’t realize at first. Overall, I love this toothbrush. It’s the best toothbrush I’ve ever had.

Appreciated the customer support. This has worked well and cleans great but after two years I’ve had issues with the battery and this gasket around the metal shaft. They replaced it without much fuss. Very cool

I have used Sonicare toothbrushes for years but in the past, they have been bulky and festooned with buttons. This unit can be programmed for your specific need and level of comfort and forgotten. It is very trim and lightweight making it easy to control when brushing. A great value for the price.

Works perfectly and elevates the toothbrushing game 100%. Was a quip user for many years and although it’s a great and convenient travel brush, the experience that the Phillips gives you definitely feels way more powerful and elevated. Battery lasts a long time, easy to recharge, and love the brush cap!

This is my 1st electric toothbrush. I ordered it over the oral b smart 1500 because it’s cheaper and I found more people who swear by it than oral b. Later on, I read comments where people who have this 4100 for 10+ years say that the newer 2021 version has only half the power of the old version. Someone on reddit showed images of the inside of the new and old versions and the new version has a small plastic toy-like motor, while the old version has a big copper-wrapped motor and an old version user said “now I understand why the new version is lighter and less powerful”.I was disappointed on the new version and tried to cancel the order but I couldn’t. Once it came, I decided to try it and to my surprise, it brushes my teeth way better than my manual soft-bristled and hard-bristled toothbrushes(I use both manual brushes daily compared to my daily usage of the electric toothbrush 4100 C2 head of medium bristles. If you have gum sensitive issue, buy the S sensitive or G2 optimal brush head. If you want hard-bristled, buy W diamondclean brush head).I don’t know how good the old version was but this newer version definitely brushes better than any manual toothbrush unfortunately it doesn’t not come with a travel case.Update 5/16/2024: I bought the Oral B smart 1500 because it was on sale and I wanted to see how better it is compared to the sonicare. The oral B package looks nicer and bigger than the Sonicare but upon opening the smart 1500 package, I saw hair all over the toothbrush. I did read many customers saying on reddit that their Oral b toothbrush were repackaged, but I can’t believe I’m a victim of this nastiness. It also took 2 weeks to reach me from Hawaii and since it says “made in China”, I think the seller is located in China.I’ll return this and I’ll advise you to buy the Sonicare instead of the oral b if you don’t want to be cheated receiving a used-repackaged toothbrush.Update 05/22/2024: On 05/17/24, I bought the Oral b smart clean 360 which has exact power as the smart 1500 that I returned but the smart 360 has 5 modes and a button to change the mode while the smart 1500 has 3 modes and no button to switch between the modes.The advantage of the oral b smart clean 360 is that the brush heads cost is cheaper than the Sonicare 4100 and I find it better at whitening my teeth than the Sonicare. That’s all the advantages there.The things that I don’t like with it are many, so I’m just going to name the most annoying ones:1) The brush heads are too big compared to the Sonicare(see picture):Putting Oral b brush heads in my mouth is like putting a golf ball in my mouth(my head and mouth are wider than the average US male).2) The brush heads have holes(see pictures) that trap saliva+toothpaste and creates more noise when the brush handle needle rotates in the presence of the liquid mixture, and moisture will be also trapped easily in the holes(most customers complain about Oral b brush heads design. Oral b corrected the needle issue with the IO version but the IO introduced a shallow hole which now traps moisture in the brush handle).When I’m using the Oral b with no choice but to have my mouth wide-open, it forces my mouth to produce more saliva which gets mixed with the toothpaste and enters the brush head and creates more noise.3) Rattling noise: The Oral b smart clean 360 isn’t as noisy as people say. It’s the quality of the noise the problem. It’s a very unpleasant rattling noise as if you’re hearing an old car engine with broken parts in it. That noise gets worse when liquid enters the brush head holes.4) The charger is not round like a perfect circle:You must put the Oral b brush handle in a specific position to charge it and if you place it wrong, it’ll fall and might break.5) The Daily Clean mode is rough and combined with the big brush head the experience is bad, but the smart clean 360 has more mode which make it smoother and better than the smart 1500 but not as good as the Sonicare 4100.6)It has no auto-stop mode: You keep brushing without knowing how long you have been brushing your teeth.To summarize, the oral b non-IO brush heads are cheap but very badly designed for a pleasant toothbrushing. I won’t recommend it if you’re shorter than 6 foot tall or have a small mouth.

I have bought FIVE Philips Sonicare tooth brushes. They are good products/toothbrushes. The issue is with Philips. The first toothbrush used a regular wall plug, then Phillips went to an adapter plug saying the purpose is/was to save electricity. Now I get most of use have extra adapters, but Philips DOES NOT include an adapter with your purchase. However, you can get on line fill out a bunch of information and they will send you an adapter. Another wrinkle is Philips now requires you to include a photo of the serial number, from the bottom of the toothbrush body to get your FREE adapter A PITA/A JOKE. This company has a good product and I will tell you find another product/company that treats their customers better. PHILIPS INCLUDE THE ADAPTER WITH YOUR PRODUCT!

The powerful light weight dental product has quickly become my favorite toothbrush. It has a built in 2-minute timer that beeps every 30 seconds and then automatically shuts off. The smaller designed brush makes it easier to reach and clean every part of the mouth. It is light to hold and use, as well as great for traveling. The charger is also compact and once fully charged will remain so for up to two weeks. It will also display an alert when it’s time to change the brush. It is a great improvement over a previous replaceable battery model which was much larger, heavier, and more difficult to clean.

My wife’s dentist suggested that she try this. It worked well for her. I have used electric toothbrushes in the past and was not a fan. I was back to using the old brush and toothpaste method. She finally talked me into it and I ordered one for myself. I must say, that my teeth have never felt as clean as they do with this product. In fact, I have become so used to having cleaner teeth, that when I have eaten, I WANT to brush my teeth to get back to that “clean” feeling. Another sidebar, you use less toothpaste with this product, because the brush head is so much smaller. This toothbrush would probably pay for itself just in the savings you will have using less toothpaste. I highly recommend this product.

This is a major design improvement from my old bulky, heavy e-series. It’s powerful enough to tickle the first few uses until becoming accustomed to the power. It’s easy to maneuver in my mouth, and very lightweight. I do wish it had the option that my son’s Sonicare toothbrush has, of adding an additional 30 seconds to the end of the brushing session (specifically for the front teeth). I thought I would appreciate the special function of alerting you if you’re pressing too firmly on your teeth, but I guess I don’t press too hard very frequently (it mostly just does that when I brush my tongue, so I now turn off the toothbrush when I brush my tongue.)
