[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaced an older model with this new model. The new model is lightweight, however, it only holds a charge for a few days. With my old model it went several weeks without charging. Still using the brush the same amount of time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thank you for writing your review, your opinion is highly valued. We're sorry to hear that your toothbrush is not holding onto charge properly. We recommend you leave your toothbrush charging for a full 24 hours, to ensure that the battery is charged fully. Additionally, make sure you use a working outlet, and the charging occurs away from metal surfaces and other chargers, to avoid interference. Hope this helps!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Sonicare 3100 toothbrush has one really important feature: it weighs less than half (a guesstimate) than my previous Sonicare. They last a long time, so this was a nice surprise. It also has an alert for when you're using too much pressure, which is important to know. Other than that, the quadpacer is the only other feature I need. I've been using Sonicare exclusively since 1996, and have healthy gums and no fillings to show for it (your mileage may vary!).
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In the first few days of using the sonic toothbrush, my mouth felt much better. Now, I am used to the new feeling, I guess! It also saves me time and made my brushing gentle. Earlier, I would just keep brushing hard for a long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used Sonicare for 15 or 20 years. I have never had a cavity, and my hygienist is always so excited to clean my teeth because there is almost zero build up. It is an awesome product, and I hate that the dentist's promote Oral B now instead. My daughter started using Sonicare in her teens when she got braces. She is now 26, and still no cavities. I highly recommend this product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my new electric toothbrush! So glad I converted from the old fashioned manual toothbrush. I love that it has the sensor on it for when I’m applying too much pressure as degradation of my gums from brushing too hard was the main reason my dental hygienist recommended I make the switch. The timer is also great. Overall, my teeth are much better off and even look better too as stains are better taken care of using the electric toothbrush. No regrets!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The toothbrush wobbles around on the charging base. If the toothbrush were any longer, it would topple over. A larger diameter base of a tighter fit between the charging post and toothbrush would help. Or, possibly a charging cup into which the toothbrush would be inserted.
