Product Information

The 5100 offers 3 modes: clean, gum care and white. It has two buttons allowing you to easily switch between these modes to find the one that you like the best. It also comes with 2 W2 Optimal White brush heads, which is nice since Sonicare brush heads are some of the most expensive on the market. 6100 This is basically the precursor to the DailyClean series offering one mode and the most basic cleaning of any Sonicare brush.

I know that in the past, when I tried to find replacement brush heads for my Sonicare, I just looked in the local electronics store and tried to find the most brush heads for the best price without worrying which ones they were. I was surprised to notice that I had bought Whitening brush heads without even noticing. Unlike the smart brushes we tested, the ProtectiveClean 4300 is designed to clean your teeth, and that is about it. The only additional feature it has is that it offers two intensities. By pushing the power button while it is on, you can switch from high to low or low to high. It will remember which setting you finished brushing with and stay on that intensity. Quadpacer alerts you when to move on to each section of your mouth while our Smartimer signals when your total time is up. Some people complain that the brush is light and it feels cheap, but we think that the lightness is a welcome benefit of improved technology. It is noticeably lighter than previous generations of Sonicare, and this makes it less cumbersome to hold and improves the whole brushing experience. We will update you after long-term testing to see if quality is an issue, but so far it is doing fine! Brushing experience This is where the Sonicare lineup gets a bit strange. Notice right away that there is a DiamondClean series and a DiamondClean Smart series, and if you look these brushes up, you will notice a huge difference in price. This is because they really are brushes of a different bristle.To access all tests and scores of brushes we tested, read our full best electric toothbrush article.

The step up from the DailyClean series is the ProtectiveClean model. This is where you start to see some newer technology and better overall brushing experiences from the Sonicare line. I would call this the sweet spot! With this model, you do not get the cheap plastic case that comes with the ProtectiveClean; instead, you get the deluxe charging travel case which is much nicer, and it comes with a built in USB plug to charge your brush on the go. Essentially, all of these brushes are identical in what they offer. They have one mode, 31,000 movements per minute, 1 brush head, and that is about it. They are a good starter model if you are trying an electric toothbrush for the first time. They all have 2 minute quad pacers with 30 second intervals, and when you first use them, they start in a gentle mode that gradually increases in power to help you get used to having a sonic toothbrush. When I first started, even the beginner mode was a bit harsh for me, but you do get used to it.

I was very surprised to find that this brush is still available. This brush is interesting because rather than just having a replaceable brush head, the entire brushing mechanism is replaced each time you put on a new brush head. This was the first kind of sonicare toothbrush I owned circa 2012. Within the Sonicare range are a number of sub-categories or series into which particular models fit.

After spending several hours researching the Philips Sonicare product line up, we feel like our brains have gone through a German sausage factory. There is no easy way to describe or define the incredible mish mash of models and variations that there are in the labyrinth that is Sonicare. The ExpertClean 7300 offers the exact same cleaning as the 6100 with 3 modes and 3 intensities, but it offers a couple of bells and whistles that make it a bit more of a luxury brush.The ProtectiveClean series also includes the 4500, 5100 and 6100. Note there is also a 4500 which does come with the travel case and two brush heads instead of just one.

Charging is done using the included induction charger which plugs into a wall outlet. One complaint we had for most of these brushes is that the charging cord is a bit short and this one is only 100 cm (40 inches). Electric toothbrush charging test results The next model in the Sonicare line up is a one-off. There is only one model that gets the “ExpertClean” moniker, the 7300 (HX9611). We really like the look and feel of the C2 Plaque Defence brush head that came equipped with our 4300. Although the series 2 brush heads are the older model, they still do a great job cleaning and are high-quality brush heads. The most current model is the series 3 which are slightly larger and a bit more expensive than series 2. The in-built pressure sensor alerts you when you are brushing too hard to ensure that you do not damage your teeth and gums. Dental Professionals recommend to replace your brush head every 3 months, however we understand it can be hard to remember when you switch brush heads and is your current brush head still okay to use? Our NEW brush head replacement reminder technology measures your usage and brushing pressure and alerts you to replace your brush head when it’s no longer performing optimally to ensure you are consistently getting the best cleaning results.Another specialized brush head is the Intercare brush head which is more compact than the standard brush heads, and may be more comfortable for people with smaller mouths. They claim that it reaches between teeth and hard to reach areas better than the larger brushes. It also has other features such as Goals that allow you to customize your brushing to try to improve a specific area of oral health like “Fresh Breath” or “Gum health.” We did not find these useful as we would prefer to brush twice a day for at least 2 minutes without following some app.
