Description

Remove plaque and experience a deep, effective clean with Sonicare technology, removing up to 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 - 3 years 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 - 1 year ago
  • A: It’s usb need a charger to plug into outlet

    submitted byCate325 - 5 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.

    submitted byKulgrani - 2 years ago
  • A: Its usb, you will need to buy the plug.

    submitted byJayne - 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: Hello! You can use a USB wall adapter to charge the Philips Sonicare 4100 Powered Toothbrush.

  • 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 - 10 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 - 1 year 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 - 9 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.

Q: How often should one change heads ?

submitted by Jess - 2 months ago
  • A: Hello! It is recommended to replace your Philips Sonicare Brush Head every three months of normal use (brushing twice a day) or when the blue indicator bristles wear out.

    submitted byPhilips Consumer Care - 2 months ago
  • A: The indicator says every 3 months. Most heads come with a colored indicator to change and if you get heads that have the “brush sync” technology the toothbrush will actually alert you to this.

    submitted byzoomzoom - 23 days ago
  • A: Hello! It is recommended to replace your Philips Sonicare Brush Head every three months of normal use (brushing twice a day) or when the blue indicator bristles wear out. One reason is that brush heads can get weary and will be less effective in removing plaque.

    I have happily used Sonicare rechargeable electric toothbrushes for many years. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed in the 4100 model I purchased last month. Although I don’t like the USB charging port, I can live with that. My complaint is that the built-in timer is not as noticeable on this one as on my previous brush. I now use the second hand on my clock which is very inconvenient. I would NOT recommend this toothbrush.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There were few basic problem with brush. 1. The brush head vibrates. During brushing, if we keep mouth open, it spills the paste on wash basin and mirror. How can we brush with mouth close? 2. There is actually no stand. Only stand is with with power outlet attached. It means I always have to plug-in the device which will consume electricity and also battery life would go down pretty fast. There should be only stand available and based on requirement, we can plug to power outlet attached

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It brushes wonderfully when it stays on (the powerful mode). The mode is never consistent. Once it graduates from the softer mode to the more intense mode, once I charge it it resets itself. Believe me, I’ve followed all the provided troubleshooting from the instruction manual to no avail. I’ll be brushing with the more more intense mode for 8 days then out of nowhere it will change to a middle setting, not the lowest. Then I click it to the more intense mode, only to have it go to the softness stater setting. No consistency. Was going to purchase the more expensive model & use this one as my travel brush-but now weary

This is a redesigned toothbrush and is a big improvement over previous Phillips models I’ve owned.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s thin and it’s streamline. And the brush head does not have holes in it like Oral-B so that all the liquid from your mouth runs down the brush head and out the holes and down your arm while you’re brushing your teeth. Sonicare does not do that That’s why I bought it but 4100 is way too weak and soft for me.
