Philips SonicareProtectiveClean 5100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, with Pressure Sensor, 3 Cleaning Modes, SmarTimer and QuadPacer, 14-Day Battery Life, Travel Case, Black, Model HX6850/60

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I can trust this brand.Quality:This is a great toothbrush. I've owned several similar brushes and this one is superior.I tried a new toothpaste that was natural ( canary) and started to get strange staining on my teeth. Since I was using a regular toothbrush I decided to go back to an ultrasonic brush and ditch the canary brand toothpaste for Coral Nano-Silver Foam, which I really like.The staining on my teeth has subsided thank goodness.This toothbrush has 3 functions. 1 for clean, 2 for gum care and 3 for whitening. It does feel different on each setting.I highly recommend this toothbrush!

When you have a good electric toothbrush, you just have to hold it on your teeth for about 45 seconds on the teeth that you’re cleaning and keep going. It does all the work you just hold it and be patient as you go through all your teeth.

Legit! Typically don’t do reviews I read the heck out of reviews before buying something so hopefully this helps others too. When I used my Sonicare for the first time wow I could immediately feel a difference. I consider myself to have great oral hygiene and usually brush after meals whenever possible, but I tend to brush with a heavy hand.The sensitivity mode really helped me be more aware of my pressure and technique. My teeth, tongue, and breath felt noticeably cleaner afterward, honestly I was shocked in the best way. The built-in timer is another feature I love. It keeps me focused and ensures I’m spending the right amount of time on each section of my mouth. I’ve always heard that brushing gently gives a better clean, and this brush actually helps me do that.It is a bit pricey, but honestly so worth it. It’s made me pay more attention to my overall oral care. I’ve started pairing it with a Waterpik and a tongue scraper, and baby, my breath is on point! 🫶🏼✨ It gives that fresh-from-the-dentist clean every day, right at home.Highly recommend, especially if you’re trying to break heavy brushing habits or want to seriously level up your hygiene routine. Oral hygiene is so important it’s connected to other parts of our health too. Also if you smoke, vape ect definitely invest in good oral care at home for yourself!

The media could not be loaded. Intro and things I like:I had the Sonicare E-series toothbrush for over a decade, and it started to not hold charge so well anymore, so I decided to upgrade to this toothbrush. The head on the 5100 is a bit smaller which I like, and the handle is also nice and slim as well. It's a fairly quiet toothbrush compared to my boyfriend's Oral-B toothbrush, which I love because I tend to be a night owl. The charging is perfectly fine and it lasts about 14 days without a charge, and will take 24 hours to charge if it's completely dead. The quality of this toothbrush is pristine, and this is why I decided to go with the 5100 instead of the 4100 because I head concerns about the newer 4100 model's build quality. There are no issues with quality for the 5100 as far as I know. I also love that it comes with a travel case as I am constantly on the go for vet school rotations. Some toothbrush brands come with a USB plug in style charger, but this style is much better because you can just sit it on the charger base without having to worry about plugging in a USB C cable or something like that.Using it:There are three different modes for this toothbrush, clean, whitening, and gum care. I use the traditional clean mode, and sometimes the gum care because it feels good on my gums. I love that the toothbrush has a very slight pause every 30 seconds indicating that it's time to switch quadrants, and turns off automatically at 2 minutes for "clean" mode. Apparently "whitening" mode goes for 2:30, but I prefer the "clean" mode. There is also a really awesome feature that you can set on the toothbrush letting you know when it's time to change the toothbrush head, indicated by the light near the bottom of the toothbrush. This is great for customers who don't always keep track of when to change their toothbrush heads.Cons I've encountered so far:The only con really would be that it comes with one toothbrush head. There is a little slip of paper that shows you how to register your product with Philips for discounted heads, but it would be nice if it came with at least two. Another thing that is probably just me, is that the black base for the toothbrush doesn't come with black heads. I think it would look pretty cool if the heads matched the base for a nice, sleek look. You can get matching colors if you opt for the white, but I just picked the option that would be delivered to me faster because I'm impatient.Overall:As someone who has always been pretty anal about her oral hygiene, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a first time or new toothbrush to up their oral hygiene game.

Good electric toothbrush, decent replacement for the 10 year old e-series elite brushes that still work but have different issues. Really hate how they redesigned these electric toothbrushes to fail more readily and not last as long so you have to replace them more often. The narrower handle makes it harder to hold the toothbrush and allows more spit and suds to drip down onto the handle as you brush. This also allows more fluid to get on the buttons, making it more likely to leak into sensitive electronics and damage the brush. If this brush doesn't last at least 5 years, I won't buy another Sonicare product. Otherwise the brush does a good job of cleaning, feels light in the hand (for better or worse), gets your teeth white and clean. The timer seems short of 30 seconds per quadrant.

Best toothbrush I’ve found, very comfortable and not very heavy but cleans well, it is also soft on gums and cleans wellIf also like to say it has AMAZING battery life, like I’ve taken this on trips 2+ weeks long and it doesn’t even need to charge

The best toothbrush! This is to replace our other sonic care that lasted 7 years before it wouldn’t charge anymore. This is def an upgrade to our last model but still fits the heads of our toothbrush so we didn’t have to waste money buying new heads. Feels really good after you brush and the charge lasts for at least a few days . We spent a little bit extra for this one bc it’s rechargeable and it’s def worth it .
