Good Brush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 3rd sonicare toothbrush. They all do a good job of brushing. There are 2 reasons I took away a star from this one. 1- it's narrower making it more difficult to stand on the counter. 2- the 30 second signals during brushing do not seem as strong in intensity nor volume as in past models.

The lettering on the handle is rubbing off
I have been using a new 1 button Philips Sonicare for 2 weeks. It brushes and seems to brush as well as my previous 2 buttons Philips powered toothbrush before it stopped working. The quality of the materials and lettering of the new 1 button Sonicare is inferior. The letters on the handle - of clean, sensitive, white, and the change brush and power status symbols - are all rubbing off onto the handle and onto my fingers. At this rate eventually all of the lettering will erase from my toothbrush handle within 60 days or less.

Toothbrush
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The head of the toothbrush is very small and it vibrates a lot. I’m not sure if it’s actually working on my teeth.

Works great, wears out fast.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My gums have never been healthier! But the head/bristles are already worn out after only a few weeks.

The toothbrush is 6 months old and already broken. It is stuck in the “on” position.

Great deal
Pretty good brush for the price. This one was a third of the price compared to my regular SonicCare. It’s not as strong but works good so I’m impressed for the price.

Sonicare 4100 toothbrush
I've owned at least 6 Sonicare brushes in the last 15 years, most of them have been model 4100 or 5000. They do a good job of cleaning your teeth, but I have to say, they are not as durable as the old E series brushes that used the screw-on brush heads. The weakest point of this design is inside, where you can't see the mechanism. The shaft that the brush head snaps too, passes through a seal in the top of the plastic housing, and then into a motor housing where a small 10-pole permanent magnet motor is oscillated with a magnetic field generated by an inverter powered by a small lithium battery cell. there are two main failure modes of these brushes: 1. The shaft seal, or the power button seal, fails and water gets inside, destroying the electronics. 2. A mechanical failure of the bearings that support the shaft, or the over-pressure sensor. You will know this has happened when the shaft becomes loose. The unit might still vibrate when you power it on, but the shaft is no longer vibrating the brush tip in any useful way. These 4100 series brushes seem to only last for about 1 year of twice a day use before they fail; that comes to about 5¢ worth of replacement cost every time you use it. The old E-series brush handles lasted a lot longer, since there was no way for water to get inside, as long as the power button seal stayed intact. The 4100 series does a good job of cleaning, but the long term durability of the old E-series is no more. If you are very careful to not get water or toothpaste on that top seal, you might get one to last 2 or even 3 years, but in normal use, that top seal usually springs a leak in no more than 12 months, and then the brush's internal electronics are quickly ruined.

Pleasant experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used the Oral B electric toothbrush for perhaps 20 years. I tried the Sonic electric toothbrush and was really impressed by how comfortable it was to use - I actually enjoyed the feeling of the brush on my teeth. Also, the battery lasts a long time before recharging. It is a well thought out design.
