PHILIPSSonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Electric Toothbrush, Black, with Travel Case, 3 x Cleaning Modes & 2 x Whitening Brush Head, (UK 2-pin Bathroom Plug) - HX6850/39

Good solid toothbrush

The Philips Sonicare 5100 battery lasted 3 weeks using it once a day. I use another electric toothbrush (Braun) in the mornings. During this time I used and alternated 2 of the options each day (Clean/White or Clean/Gum Care. The jury is still out as to whether one should wet the toothbrush after applying toothpaste. The timer for Clean lasts 2 minutes (30 seconds for the top, 30 seconds for the bottom and same time for the top back and top bottom – it buzzes each 30 seconds . White lasts similarly for 2 minutes. Gum Care last for 3 minutes.The difference made with this toothbrush has been a healthier mouth/gums and teeth. Although somewhat expensive, I feel it is worth the cost. One gets 2 brushes too. You do need to buy the 2 pin adapter separately. Make sure you Register your product and keep the box with the Serial Number on it. The initial charge took 24 hours, after this 12 hours worked fine to fully re-charge.

I have now had this brush a few months and a good replacement for my previous Phillips Sonicare. intelligent, simple clear brush modes, and a good timer that tells you exactly when to move to another part of your mouth.

I was thinking to buy more expensive version. After consideration I bought this model. It is performing really well. Good price to quality ratio.

Good product these last a couple of years then just die

I’ve had a similar toothbrush like this before and would still have it but the stem what the brush goes on had come loose, out of warranty so couldn’t send it back. My other one had different speed buttons also but this updated model hasn’t. I’m still very impressed with it and it’s worth the money :)

I only had mine for a few months before it broke.. I sent it back and months later got a replacement.. which after a few months has broken again. No support available to me now so a total waste of my money. I won't b buying Philips again.

I debated between this and the more expensive 2020 DiamondClean toothbrush, but this was the right choice. Battery life really is 2 weeks, it’s nice and quiet and my teeth feel much cleaner. It comes with a travel case and 2 brush heads. It has all the modes you need for clean teeth.
