[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my toothbrush for several months and even though I’ve swapped the head for it a few times it still turns off randomly in the middle of me brushing. Is there a reason for that? And I don’t mean the 2 minute timer that’s built into it either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Philips Sonicare 4100 Series toothbrush stops randomly.
If your toothbrush turns off by itself, the troubleshooting tips below may help you find a solution. The selected brushing mode defines the brushing time. Your toothbrush will turn off automatically when the recommended time is up. We recommend changing the brushing mode. Brushing mode times can range from 20 seconds to 3.5 minutes. The QuadPacer is an interval timer that has a short beep and pause to remind you to brush the four sections of your mouth evenly and thoroughly. This Philips Sonicare toothbrush comes with the QuadPacer feature activated. The SmarTimer indicates that your brushing cycle is complete by automatically turning off. Your toothbrush measures the pressure you apply while brushing. If you press too hard, it briefly stops, indicating that you are using too much pressure.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It seems to work well as my dentist said that it is helping keep my teeth clean but I brush my teeth for 4 cycles (each cycle is 2 minutes long)every time I use it. The one issue with it is that it seems that you have to buy Phillips replacement heads because the replacements I bought don't stay on through the course of brushing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the brush is not as big and bulky as my last older Sonicare toothbrush! Also 2 speeds is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this as a replacement for my previous Sonicare which stopped working. Got model # off bottom of old one and purchased same. This one is smaller and has less power than previous. Very disappointed. Does not clean as well. Did something change?
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi there,
Thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you aren't pleased with the performance of the Philips Sonicare Toothbrush. Please note that some Toothbrushes have the EasyStart feature activated by default. This feature causes your Toothbrush to increase its vibration level slowly after each brushing session. The increase in vibration will occur over the first fourteen sessions. If you want your Toothbrush to vibrate normally, we recommend turning off the EasyStart feature.
Also note that the mode selected impacts the vibration level on your Toothbrush. Some brushing modes are less powerful, for example, TongueCare and Sensitive. We recommend increasing the vibration by changing the brushing mode. Turn off your Toothbrush and press the mode/intensity button to choose the preferred mode.
We hope this will improve your experience. However, if the issue still persists or you have any additional questions, please get in touch via Social Media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and Twitter (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry, if you don’t use Social Media, you can also reach out to us via the contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had Sonics for years now, so I expected that the 4100 series would be just as reliable. Unfortunately things like the usb charger and the fact it had a weak pulse made me return this within the first month.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't yet used this toothbrush because I do not have a plug in my bathroom that fits a USB. I haven't been able to find an adapter that will fit into my bathroom plug. Why don't you include the adapter with the product so we can use it after purchase?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Dixie,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're sorry to hear that you are not happy about not receiving the adapter with your new Philips Sonicare 4100 Series Toothbrush.
At Philips, we are committed to reducing plastic waste. As part of our environmental efforts, some Philips products no longer come with a USB power adapter. While this may seem inconvenient, we assure you that it is because most consumers already own one or multiple USB wall adapters.
We will continue supplying USB charging cables with the product that can be used with a USB power adapter. However, if you do not have an adapter, you can get one for free from the following link: https://www.usa.philips.com/c-w/support-home/adapters.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to us via social media. We’re available on Facebook (@Philips) and Twitter (@PhilipsCare). Don’t worry if you don’t use social media; you can also contact us via the contact page: www.Philips.com/contact.
