Customers find the toothbrush powerful and effective, with gentle bristles that clean teeth beautifully. Moreover, they consider it good value for money and superior to regular brushing. However, durability is a concern as units fail after one year of use. Additionally, battery life receives mixed feedback - while some say it lasts weeks, others report it gradually ceases to hold a charge.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Style: 4100Verified PurchaseI have used the Phillips sonicare toothbrushes for over 30 years. I would recommend them to anyone. They clean great, are easy to use and last several years. The heads change out easily and the brush lets you know when to change the brush head. There is a 2 minute timer and the brush cuts off automatically when the 2 minutes are up making it easy to brush your teeth for the recommended amount of time. I purchased this one to replace one that I had for over 7 years.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2020Style: 4100Verified PurchaseWas recommended by my dentist for best cleaning. It does a good job as she hasn't complained of any tartar buildup since I've started using it! It has handy timing built in to let you know you're done with each quadrant of your teeth. It also let's you know if you're brushing (pressing) too hard. However, I will say, the little vibrations the thing emits are barely noticeable, but overall, the brush is still very nice.
Also, you can use a generic brush head replacement on this just fine. Don't use the Phillips brand - way too expensive. The generic brand is not a perfect fit (the hole is not the same shape as the Phillips brush holder) however, the friction/tension still holds the brush in place just fine and works perfectly for a fraction of the cost.
**** Update!! ******
I just had the strangest experience with this toothbrush that I think could explain some things to other people. After about a year and a half, my toothbrush just suddenly stopped working! I thought it was the charger, maybe the battery, maybe water got inside? I was just about to give up when my husband said he had the same thing happen to his (he has the same brush) and when he put a new brush head on it started working again. Believe it or not, that actually WORKED! I did a little research and found out that this brush has some kind of RFID sync with the smart brush head to be able to tell you when to replace it. However, I assume that my after market cheapie brush heads that I use don't offer that and somehow it messes up the brush handle and instead of an indicator light turning on, it just shuts off. But the second I got a new brush head on, it came back on, just as strong as ever! I know it was the new brush head, because I had taken the old one off and back on while I was trying to troubleshoot the brush and nothing changed. It only started working again when I put a new one on. Hope that helps someone else!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2018Style: 4100Verified PurchaseI’ve always been a big fan of Sonicare toothbrushes, my dental cleanings went from you’ve got to do better to you’re doing a great job. My last Sonicare was an Elite model with all of the features, it’s demise came from a loose brush head shaft that wouldn’t stay tightened even after repair, that’s what also what killed the one before that so the verdict is out on how this one will hold up in that regard but they usually last a couple of years before giving out. I found that I never used any of the settings on the Elite except for basic clean with full power. In the past if you wanted a basic no-frills Sonicare with one button you have to forgo the slim handle design and lithium ion battery, two features I never wanted to get up so I would always spring for the more expensive model. Enter this Protectiveclean 4100 Sonicare, a basic one button, one speed no-frills machine that has all the features that I want and nothing that I don’t with the same slim handle and battery as the higher end models in this line. It even borrowed some of the features from the top of the Sonicare line like a brush head pressure sensor to remind you of proper brushing technique and a smart head brush replacement reminder that I hope doesn’t tell me to replace it before I want to but we’ll see (you can turn the feature off). The area around the metal brush head shaft (between the motor handle and brush head) has been flattened out and the little plastic cap that used to sit on the bottom of the shaft is gone making the area easier to clean, if you have a Sonicare you’ll know what I mean. The sonic action of this toothbrush seems more refined than my old Elite model but perhaps that’s due to wear and tear on the old one, anyway this brush works quite well and I’m happy.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Style: 4100Verified PurchaseJust what my dentist recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2025Style: 4100Verified PurchaseI love this toothbrush. It has 2 different settings: one is faster and the other is a slower vibration. It's pretty easy to switch between the 2 modes even though there is only 1 button. The brush head that comes in the package has soft bristles, but is smaller than a standard brush head in my opinion. This keeps my teeth clean (dentists tend to be happy with my teeth) and the slower, gentler setting is good to help prevent gum recession.
I love that it's rechargeable and the charge lasts a LONG time - probably about 2 weeks of daily use. I removed 1 star due to its longevity. I bought this toothbrush to replace my other toothbrush that was this same exact model. I had my previous toothbrush for about 2.5 years before the button just stopped working. The silicone that covers the button had slowly dissolved with regular use, which was fine since it still worked. But eventually, it got so bad that I couldn't turn the brush on at all, and then sometimes it would just turn on randomly and would not turn off, no matter what I did. I literally had to put my old brush outside in my backyard at night until the battery died, otherwise the sound of the vibration would have kept me up (I'm a light sleeper and my bathroom is right next to my room). This would be a 5-star product if it lasted longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars CÓMO HE PODIDO VIVIR SIN ESTO? LA MEJOR FORMA DE LIMPIAR MIS DIENTES.
Style: 4100Verified PurchaseNo hay mejor forma de limpiar los dientes y encías, sin lugar a dudas.
Supongo que he tenido la progresión normal de cualquier consumidor.... cepillo normal, cepillo rotativo tipo oral b y ahora este cepillo sónico. Wow, la diferencia se nota!
Además veo otras grandes ventajas, como el cepillo como tal es bien chiquitito (algo que no esperaba) gastas mucho menos pasta de dientes (ahorro). Me gusta que por medio de beeps te avise cuándo cambiar de lugar (ver el manual).
De verdad siento que Phillips debería anunciarlo mas; yo me enteré por una amiga dentista y de verdad pensé "es una pena" que más gente no se entere de las ventajas de la limpieza sónica. El mismo principio que la Clarasonic para la cara.
No lo duden, es caro pero vale mucho la pena por la salud de tus dientes. A la larga vez el valor por tu dinero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Toothbrush
Style: 4100Verified PurchaseThis electric toothbrush is fantastic. There is a noticeable difference in how clean my teeth are after using it compared to manual toothbrushes. The build quality is top notch. It is easy to hold. The battery life is extremely long. I used it for over a week without charging it before it needed a charge, meaning you can travel with it for a few days and not pack the charger. The timed function is perfect, 2 minutes split into 30 seconds, with a vibrating indicator when its time to move to a new area. Additionally, you can pause it to spit if you need to and it will remember where you were in the cycle when you continue. Highly recommend this toothbrush for better oral hygiene!
