4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, Advanced Plaque Removal, Pressure Sensor, Includes Brush Head Case, Black BD5003AZ

I've been using $20-ish cheap knock-off sonic toothbrush. It's been working, but I got curious how Philips or Oral-B products are - they are definitely more expensive, and I've seen many good reviews on them. So here I tried this 4100 today for the first time. Definitely feeling the difference - garden hose vs fire hydrant. Brush head will be smaller then your expectation. This means you need to get busy brushing your entire teeth, but again the brush can reach to the deep area in your mouth = good for through cleaning. There are two levels of power you can control with a button. I am using the highest settings, works good. Timer feature is an added bonus.

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 am so impressed with the Philips Sonicare 4100 Series. I purchased the Deep Pink and Light Pink versions, and they look great in the bathroom. The advanced sonic technology leaves my teeth feeling incredibly clean, and the pressure sensor is a great feature to ensure I’m not brushing too hard. My only wish is that this series came in a wider range of colors. It would be so helpful if there were options like lavender, purple, green, orange, or yellow so that every family member could have their own distinct color to avoid any mix-ups. Aside from the color limitation, it’s a fantastic toothbrush that I highly recommend!

It's working fine and does the job, but I do agree this model is smaller and the rechargeable battery does not last as long as my older model.

I absolutely love this toothbrush! It works great and has made a noticeable difference in how clean my teeth feel compared to a manual brush. One of the best parts is the battery life—I can easily go a solid two weeks on a single charge, which makes it perfect for travel since I don't always have to bring the charger. It's also very easy to clean; the design is sleek and doesn't have a lot of tiny crevices where toothpaste can build up. They designed it with two intensity settings, so you can easily switch between the two speeds with the click of the button. If you want a reliable electric toothbrush without a bunch of unnecessary features, this is the one to get

سهلة الاستخدام ، قوية وفعالة ، خفيفة.

يمكن انا ما احب الطنين ولكن ممكن تناسب البعض الفرشاة ممتازة وتنشحن وتبقى فترة طويلة جداً

Amazing

Nunca había usado uno y escuchaba que eran muy buenos y que valían la pena. Por los dientes sensibles no opté por los que giran, me fui por este que vibra y pensé que quizá sería algo Meh! … Lejos de la realidad. Es un súper cepillo! Se siente MUY POTENTE en velocidad baja hasta puedes llegar a sentir tus dientes en peligro jaja pero no te causa daño, al contrario, con los manuales me estaba lastimando el esmalte y sobre todo había partes que se sentían difíciles de alcanzar. Este lo conseguí en oferta, solo viene un cabezal y es pequeño, alcanza lugares difíciles y se siente suave con las encías, definitivamente lo recomiendo para dientes sensibles. Hay muchas opciones de cabezales para diferentes propósitos. Solo 2 velocidades y muy sencillo de usar. Lo volvería a comprar sin dudarlo.

The last one broke, and this one has the most balanced configuration and the best cost performance. The only drawback is that the silicone brush head connector keeps getting moldy.
