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

    submitted byAnswered by Philips - 3 years ago
    Brand expert
  • 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: 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 - 2 years 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 - 2 years 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 - 3 years 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.

  • A: It’s usb need a charger to plug into outlet

    submitted byCate325 - 8 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 - 3 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 byLee - 1 year ago
  • A: Its usb, you will need to buy the plug.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was going to replace my sonic care UV cleaning tooth brush with a new one but could not fine the same kind. I bought the new one. Its junk. my old one had lots of power and would spray water and toothpaste all over if you didnt use carefully. This new one barely moves. You can take it out of your mouth and doesnt even move enough to spread water. I am so disappointed in it. I hope my old one never quits working because i dont even use the new one.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 4100 series sonicare brush on a whim, just looking to replace my standard toothbrush. HOLY SMOKES! This thing is the real deal. If you haven’t tried one, it’s time. Prices are way down from when they first came out, but I’m convinced they’re every bit as powerful and effective. I haven’t tried the rotating brushes, but there’s no way they’re as good as this. I’ve been using it for a couple months now and my teeth feel like I just came from the dentist, every day. 10/10, would recommend.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dentist recommended I get a Sonicare and since my new Medicare Advantage plan covered the purchase, I went ahead and bought one. I had been using a battery-powered Spinbrush for the last few years and thought the Sonicare would be an overpriced waste of money, but I was wrong. It scrubs the enamel right down to the gum line. The timing feature keeps me at it. My teeth have never felt so clean and polished. And I'm getting a full two weeks on a charge, even brushing twice a day. Can't wait for my next checkup.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Worse in every way than the 4100 HX6810 that I purchased in 2020. The charging cord is USB, but it does not come with a plug adapter. You have to provide that yourself. The on/off button has very little travel, and it is not clear whether it is set to high or low. That option itself is poor. You should be able to set which option you want to use. It does not hold a charge as long as the older model. It is thinner than the older model, which likely means a smaller battery, thus the poor charge life. Look so many things now days, the price goes up, the quality is down, and the product is inferior to what it used to be. My old 4100 lasted five years. It bet this one won't last 2. I won't buy another 4100
