Electronic toothbrushes should have an ergonomic design that allows you to have a nice and firm grip on the toothbrush without causing you discomfort to hold or use it.

On the front are two controls. The first turns the toothbrush on. The second is a mode selector button. With the brush on, it adjusts the power, with three settings available. With the brush off, this button lets you choose the mode: clean, white or gum care. The issue with the Philips sonicare protectiveclean 4100 is that it may be an electric toothbrush, but it doesn’t last all that much longer than a manual toothbrush. This means that you will need to buy another one at about the same time when you would normally buy another manual option even though you’re paying for that powerful lithium-ion battery. It does not come with a travel case.When we compare the sonicare 4100 vs 5100 vs 6100, the Brush-Sync feature is unique to the Sonicare 6100, which makes it a more viable option against the 4100 and 5100 if you need a clearer indication of when you need to replace your brush head. The first thing we scored for each electric toothbrush is how comfortable it is to brush with, which is responsible for close to half (40%!) of the final score for each toothbrush. We compared the noise level of each toothbrush and if it had a sensor to detect if you are brushing too hard to determine points, but the bulk of the score for this metric depended on the opinion of our panel of judges after they had used the 6100. The ProtectiveClean 6100 doesn’t bother with complicated connected features, but is instead intended to be as simple and effortless to use as possible.

Philips Sonicare is the number one recommended electric toothbrush brand by dentists. The challenge though is that they have 3 very popular models, each with its own unique features that will help you keep your teeth healthy. The name may be a bit of a mouthful (fitting for a toothbrush, we suppose) but the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is the company’s flagship non-smart brush. It’s designed to appeal to anyone willing to invest money in their dental health, but understandably sceptical about whether or not their toothbrush needs its own app.This rechargeable elctric toothbrush even has pressure sensors that will prevent you from using too much pressure while brushing your teeth. This will protect your gums and teeth from excessive damage. They also feature a G2 optimal gum care brush head. The 5100 also comes with a travel case. You will receive a charger with all three toothbrushes, but you will not receive a travel case with the Philips sonicare protectiveclean 4100—this means that of course, all three are rechargeable This model is comfortable, boasts an excellent battery life, and presents excellent cleaning capabilities The Philips sonicare protectiveclean 4100 is made to give you cleaner teeth. It does this by removing 7 times more plaque than comparable options with the sonic technology, so if you want to get your teeth cleaner, this really is one of the best options for you. They also come with long-lasting brush heads. The 4100 models come with a C2 optimal plaque control brush head. Let’s face it: it’s difficult to get your teeth completely clean when you brush it the traditional way. You really need to pay attention to how you’re brushing—something you don’t need to do as much when you use an electric toothbrush like a Sonicare.
