Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Electric Toothbrush with Travel Case, 3 x Cleaning Modes, 3 Intensities & Additional Toothbrush Head - Black (UK 2-pin Bathroom Plug) - HX6870/47

Product Information

The sonic technology in all three of them will make sure that they’re able to perform up to 62,000 brush strokes per minute, and with the sweeping motion, makes any one of these brushes perfect for people with veneers, braces, and implants. We feel these are on par with Oral-b electric toothbrushes. When we compare the sonicare protectiveclean 4100 vs 5100 vs 6100, the Sonicare 5100’s main focus is gum related problems, the vibrations that it produces can be too strong for sensitive gums to handle most of the time. If you want a toothbrush that works best for sensitive gums and teeth, invest in the Sonicare 6100.

Most of our judges rated this toothbrush very highly, finding it to be solidly comfortable, with even our judges with sensitive gums giving it their stamp of approval. However, there was a small minority of judges that weren't the biggest fans of this brush. They didn't think that it was overly abrasive, like some of the oscillation-rotation models from Oral-B, more than the frequency of the vibration to be high enough to be slightly off-putting. Verdict: The Sonicare 6100 is the best option out of all three models for sensitive gums and teeth. Since it has three cleaning modes and three different intensity levels, it will be a perfect fit for everyone with any level of sensitivity. The low level intensity setting will be especially good for the most sensitive users.Not every electronic toothbrush will be able to accommodate how sensitive your gums and teeth are. Toothbrushes that vibrate too strongly or have bristles that are too rough can cause damage to sensitive teeth and gums, which will cause you a lot of unnecessary pain. Verdict: If you are looking for a toothbrush with more advanced cleaning modes, you may want to go with the 6100. Not only does it have three high quality cleaning modes, it also has different intensity levels to choose from to adjust based on how sensitive your gums and teeth are.

The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 ships with two W2 Optimal White brush heads, which have bristles around the outside for getting between teeth, and a pad inside for whitening and polishing. 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. It has different levels of intensity that will allow you to adjust to the vibration power you need, and the low intensity level will be perfect for a more sensitive mouth. If you use too much pressure, the toothbrush will change the vibration to let you know to stop. You can turn off this feature too if you feel like it’s not useful. When we compare the sonicare protectiveclean 4100 vs 5100 vs 6100, the Sonicare 6100 also has three different high quality modes of cleaning: clean mode, white teeth mode, and gum care mode. It specializes in teeth whitening, and can help your teeth become much whiter within a week of use. The 6100 comes with mode of 3 intensities.The Philips sonicare protective clean 4100 model only has one cleaning mode, while the other two brushes have 3 brushing modes

The lithium ion batteries that are fitted into them are capable of holding up to two weeks of uninterrupted battery life, which is shown by their LED indicator that tells you when you need to charge them. As with most sonic toothbrushes, this model is very quiet, at just 71.2dB. That’s loud enough that you can hear it, but the high-pitched buzz isn’t distracting or annoying. Why buy the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100? Admittedly, this Sonicare was a little intense. The vibrations were loud, and due to the pressure were sometimes painful for the gums. If you have gums that are a little more sensitive, you may not want to use this toothbrush. The brush head also tells the toothbrush which mode to select: using a gum care brush head will select the optimal mode, although you can always override the setting. They also come in an exciting variety of colors; the only real difference is that the Sonicare 5100 has four color options whereas the 4100 and 6100 have five color options.

Each Philips sonicare protective clean is made to help with different dental problems: the 4100 gives you cleaner teeth, sonicare protectiveclean 5100, gum health is great, and the sonicare protectiveclean 6100 rechargeable electric toothbrush helps you sport whiter teeth

All vibrate at an acceptable level so that they don’t feel too jarring when they’re in your mouth, and they’re also all lighter and smaller than potential counterparts 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 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.
