Product Information

The 4300 is equipped with the C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head, targeting plaque removal and whitening. As it stands, although the 1100 is based on the retail price the cheapest. In reality, the average discount on the 2100 Series is higher, making the average selling price lower than the 1100. By no means a defence, Philips has many years of experience behind them. The 4100 appears very well built and I’ve not found any cause for concern during my use. Sustainability

Philips offers a diverse range of interchangeable brush heads that are compatible with the 4100 Series. The low mode is ideal for when your teeth and gums feel a bit tender or inflamed. It’s good for new toothbrush users too. But, the 4100 does have an EasyStart mode which gradually increases the brushing intensity over the 14 sessions to ease you in. If you continue holding the power on/off button after the three short beeps, the activate/deactivate sequence repeats. Triple tone of low-med-high means the EasyStart feature has been activated. The battery level light indicator will also blink green 2 times to confirm activation.The Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Electric Toothbrush and Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 Electric Toothbrush have innovative features that make them a top choice for individuals looking for an affordable and effective electric toothbrush. Key Features Most dental professionals, our in-house dentists included, recommend cleaning the teeth twice a day, for at least 2 minutes each time. Yet, statistics show many people brush for just 45-70 seconds in total. The Philips Sonicare 4100 and 5100 electric toothbrushes effectively remove plaque and promote good oral hygiene. While the Sonicare 4100 comes with one C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head, the Sonicare 5100 features one G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head. In addition, the 5100 boasts three brushing modes making it a more expensive option. Movements are only 1 part of the equation in achieving clean teeth. And due to the way the 4100 Series has been tuned, it is very difficult to notice the difference, even though it does exist.

We don’t know the exact environmental impact of this particular model, but as a general rule the impact of electric toothbrushes is around 11 times more than a manual brush. Triple tone of high-med-low means the EasyStart feature has been deactivated. The battery level light indicator will also blink amber 1 time to confirm deactivation. This is more than acceptable from the rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, but the industry average does tend to be around 3-4 weeks. So the 4100 perhaps falls marginally behind here. The benefit is the slimmer and lighter handle. USB charging is more convenient for some. It takes up to 24 hours to charge the 4100. USB charging makes it more difficult for some As the table and bullet point lists above have shown, the real differences between each of these models are fairly limited.I achieved 17 days of use on the higher of the 2 brushing intensities but a staggering 41 days on the lower. So it is safe to say that the minimum you will achieve is the 2 weeks Philips claim. Each can use the standard head, but you in turn lose the benefits of the brush head replacement reminder. The ProtectiveClean 4100 which only has one cleaning mode (clean), doesn’t possess the brushing intensities nor does it have a travelling case. The easy-start feature gradually raises the strength of the brush as you become used to the Sonicare experience and also the smartimer encourages a complete two minutes brushing time as advised by your dental professional. The battery charge signal light tells you when it’s time to recharge; two-week battery life. A pressure sensor alerts you when you apply too much force to the teeth and gums as you brush. It is a feature that our dentists prefer to be present in an electric brush.

Continuing to use it for a bit longer isn’t a massive issue, but it could be cleaning less effectively and the tips will likely have become worn and could be more abrasive on the surfaces in the mouth. A two-minute timer allows you to ensure that you clean as long as recommended by dentists. Split into thirty-second sections, additionally, it helps with brushing every quadrant of the mouth just for the correct amount of time. The 4100 comes with the essential, dentist recommended features you need. Extras might enhance daily user experience but often bring limited benefits.

Customer reviews

Where you get a large visible light on many Oral-B brushes, you don’t on the 4100. Technically the BrushSync replacement reminder LED also flashes amber. Given its position and size, it is not the easiest to see. A single W2 Optimal White brush head is provided with the 4100. It achieves a good overall clean. It is perfectly usable but is designed to maximise stain removal, to make the teeth appear whiter. We prefer the soft G2 Optimal Gum Care or C2 Optimal Plaque Control heads for everyday cleaning. However, the 4300 Series (HX3684/23) comes with 2 x C2 Optimal Plaque Control brush head rather than 1. Plus, a slim travel case is provided in the box. The comfortable and slim brush handle, Various style (3 colours) options, Sonic cleansing activity with up to 62,000 moves (31,000 brush strokes) per minute; Two cleaning modes (Clean and Gum Care); Three brushing intensities (Low, and Medium and High); Dedicated cleaning mode button Philips exclude a 2 pin power adapter citing the environmental benefits. This is good, but feels somewhat silly when the handle and charging stand still come wrapped unnecessarily in plastic.

Triple tone of low-med-high means the pressure sensor feature has been activated. The battery level light indicator will also blink green 2 times to confirm activation. The toothbrush comes with Sonicare’s G2 Optimal Gum Care brush head, with specially designed bristles and a small-shaped brush head to remove irritating plaque around the gums. The brush head is replaceable and should be changed every three months. The 3100 has the highest retail price and the highest average selling price of the models being compared. Smartimer and Quadpacer: They have a 2-minute Smartimer that ensures you brush for the recommended time. Additionally, the Quadpacer feature alerts you every 30 seconds, so you know when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth. Detailed comparison: what’s the difference between the 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series Sonicare toothbrushes?This is more than acceptable from the rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery, but the industry average does tend to be around 3-4 weeks. So the 4100 perhaps falls marginally behind here. The benefit is the slimmer and lighter handle. USB charging is more convenient for some. It takes up to 24 hours to charge the 4100. USB charging has some advantages The amplitude of 4100’s motor has been tuned to provide a more intense cleaning action, despite the same number of brush strokes. It has not been designed to be easily repaired by yourself. Trying to replace parts like the battery will likely break the brush. This makes it more likely to be discarded rather than repaired if broken. An industry average 2 year warranty against defects and workmanship is provided. Unfortunately, no parts on the brush are designed to be user serviceable thus, should it fail, in most cases, they will send you a new brush.
