On a scale from 1 to 10, we are giving the Philips Sonicare 4100 Power Toothbrush a solid 7.
We think it is uncomfortable to buy an electric toothbrush that comes with a USB charging cable BUT does not include a wall adapter, so you need to be aware of the need of buying one separately.
However, the Philips 4100 series is still a good device, it does its job and keeps your gums and teeth clean and healthy and the best part is that it has an affordable price.
That said, let’s begin with the list of pros and cons of the Philips Sonicare 4100 toothbrush.
- It is easy to use since it’s an entry-level powered toothbrush, ideal if you’re trying one for the first time.
- It has two intensity settings, a low and a high power one; the low intensity might be too soft for most people but it’s just perfect for people with sensitive gums, the high power intensity will give you that professional dental cleaning sensation.
- It has a timer to let you know when you have brushed your teeth for 2 minutes which is very useful if you struggle to brush for the recommended time.
- It has a quad pacer that tells you when you need to move the brush to another area.
- It incorporates a pressure sensor that warns you when you’re brushing too hard so your gums and enamel don’t get damaged.
- Its software notifies you when the head brush needs to be changed, this is possible due to the smart brush heads that incorporate a special chip.
- The battery lasts around 10 days on a single charge and it has a visible light indicator for you to know when it needs to be charged.
- The charging stand is small enough to travel with.
- It has a very economic price.
Cons
- It does NOT include a wall power adapter, so you will have to buy one since this brush comes with a USB charging cable, making it incompatible with old brush chargers.
- It doesn’t include a travel case.
- Even though the battery lasts 10 days, it is much less than other Philips electric toothbrush models.
