4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, Advanced Plaque Removal, Pressure Sensor, Includes Brush Head Case, White BD5002AZ

After 14 years with my Oral‑B Pro 100, I decided to switch to the Philips Sonicare 4100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush (Model HX3681/24) when my old brush finally gave out. I’m glad I did—the Sonicare makes the surface of my teeth feel noticeably smoother and cleaner than my Oral‑B ever did. The sensation was a little strange at first, but I appreciate that the intensity gradually increases over time, which helped me adjust quickly. I also love the SmarTimer and QuadPacer features. Both brushes had 2‑minute timers, but Sonicare’s 30‑second intervals ensure I give equal attention to every section of my mouth. With my Oral‑B, I tended to spend more time on certain areas, so this is a big improvement. The lithium battery is another plus—I don’t have to swap it out nearly as often as I did with my old brush. Time will tell if it lasts as long as my Oral‑B did, but so far, I’m very impressed. Overall, this toothbrush is sleek, effective, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend!

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.

A dental hygienist told me about this toothbrush over 15 years ago. It's been very effective for this whole time and hygienists are consistently surprised at how clean my teeth are when I walk in (gums are in great shape too). This product is also extremely well made and lasts for many, many years. As an added plus, the 'aftermarket' brush-heads for these usually work well, which dramatically lowers the cost of use.

I've had my first Sonicare for 9 1/2 years, and while it still works, the battery light never reaches full any more, and this is the first time I've seen them on sale, so I went for this one. I paid around $30 instead of $50 on Black Friday sale. They say they don't give you a wall plug for sustainability, which is clearly a falsehood. If they cared about sustainability, I'd be able to use my perfectly good previous wall charger. Do they honestly think we want to charge our toothbrushes from our laptops? It's ludicrous. I found a link on their website where you can request a wall charger brick. In the mean time, I'm using one I already had. Who knows if it's appropriate. I should have just stuck with my old charger. One star off for this. The toothbrush itself is fine. I picked this one because I don't think they need more than one button. It has all the features I need: timer and high or low intensity. Also the pressure sensor is a nice touch. It's thinner to hold and makes a lot less noise. I like the change for that reason alone. All my variety of Sonicare and non-Sonicare brush heads work. So far so good. We'll see if this one lasts 9 1/2 years, though.

Will update when it fails.

سهلة الاستخدام ، قوية وفعالة ، خفيفة.

Die Zahnreinigung funktioniert sehr gut und ist in der Handhabung einfach und angenehm. Der Akku könnte etwas länger halten.

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

Amazing
