Description

Remove plaque and experience a deep, effective clean with Sonicare technology, removing up to 5-7x more plaque vs. a manual toothbrush. Sonicare technology gently pulses water between your teeth, for a month's worth of manual brushing in just 2 minutes. The QuadPacer lets you know when you've spent the optimal amount of time on each section of your mouth while the SmarTimer signals when your 2 minutes is up. The pressure sensor flashes red to remind you to ease off, helping to prevent gum recession, while the 2 intensity settings ensure a comfortable clean that’s right for you. Going electric might feel like a big step, but with this brush you’re in safe hands. Its slim ergonomic design and familiar-shaped head gives you everything you need for an effective clean. The kit includes 1 Philips Sonicare 4100 electric toothbrush, 1 Optimal Plaque Control (C2) brush head and 1 USB charging cable (wall adaptor not included).

Q: Does this plug into the wall socket? In the picture it looks like a USB. Who has a USB at their bathroom sink?!?

submitted by Screen Name - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello! You can use a USB wall adapter to charge the Philips Sonicare 4100 Powered Toothbrush.

    submitted byAnswered by Philips - 2 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: Its usb, you will need to buy the plug.

    submitted byJayne - 2 months ago
  • A: Embrace change. It's going to happen anyway. Resistence to the USB is you keeping one foot in the past and no foot in the future, leaving you in a flamingo stance. Do the bridge in all things.

    submitted bykath - 9 months ago
  • A: yes, this is so unnecessary. I wish to have a normal plug, especially for bathroom to have usb to have extra option for water access, I am surprised they want to take that risk for few cents to keep

    submitted byQuality - 2 years ago
  • A: The new toothbrush will almost assuredly work in your old charger base, too; and you won't have to defer to the new USB one. Keep it, though. I'm not an electrician and, in theory, I could be wrong.

    submitted byTxasslm - 2 months ago
  • A: I bought an adapter plug that has both the usb plugin and a standard outlet plugin. It cost me $9.99, its a simple and cheap fix.

    submitted byWayne - 29 days ago
  • A: I have a GFCI with USB charging ports in my bathroom. No issues for me.

    submitted byHAHA - 2 months ago
  • A: Companies useUSB on the end of their power cables because it is a low voltaga connection, therefore they do not need to seek the same certifications as a regular plug, therefore making it cheaper.

    submitted byDEA - 7 months ago
  • A: So Phillips wants their customers to replace their bathrm outlets w/ 1 that has a USB port so that WE can use YOUR product? I don't think I'll be remodeling my bathroom so that I can use your product

    submitted byK in plfd - 10 months ago
  • A: I'm mystified by absence of regular 110V double prong plug. Agree with comment, "who has a USB port in their bathroom?" My home is 30-years old, which is normal.

Summary of reviews

The Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush is celebrated for its effective cleaning, multiple intensity settings, and long battery life, making dental care more convenient and enjoyable. Its compact size and quad timer are appreciated for travel, while the pressure sensitivity and ease of use are highlighted as key benefits. However, some guests have expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of a carrying case and the USB charging option, which can be impractical for bathroom use.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to get this toothbrush with its multiple attractive features. But the charging stand made the brush somewhat difficult to charge, and honestly, this brush did not impress me as better than lower priced Phillips brushes I have owned in the past. I did not feel the extra expense provided more value. I also had problems with this one randomly beeping and annoying me. I don’t use this brush any longer and am happy with a cheaper model.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Wall Street Journal rated this electric toothbrush very high. I was in the market, so I bought it. Very disappointed. Vibration is so fast, so intense that it makes my teeth and mouth tingle wherever it touches. I'd replace with a less intense one if they let me.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using an electric toothbrush with rotating heads for years. When it came time to replace it I decided to try the Phillips 4100 series sonic. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The smaller brush head makes it easy to clean hard to reach areas and the vibrations seem to work better than my prior rotating brush. This isn’t the top end model but it is great

    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Jekyl - 14 days ago, Verified purchaser
    This toothbrush does seem to clean my teeth well enough, but it feels unnervingly flimsy to hold while using. If I apply any sort of accidental pressure while moving it around my mouth, the vibration fritzes (maybe the handle and brush head collide briefly?). I also really hate the USB charger, and having to double-press the button every time to get to the actual useful vibration level is very annoying. I will use it until I run out of replacement heads, for sure, but what a decrease in quality. I'm incredibly sad my old Sonicare died and I will amost certainly be shopping other brands going forward.
