[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old Sonicare more or less died, bought a newer version which I thought would be better, but am wrong. Doesn’t clean as well or remove plaque nearly as well. Disappointing
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
thanks for reaching out to us regarding your new Sonicare 4100 Series toothbrush. We are really sorry to hear your old Sonicare toothbrush needed to be replaced, and that your new model is not providing you with the same brushing experience. We can understand that must be disappointing and hope we can help! Firstly, fully charge the handle for 24 hours with no interruptions and try again. Make sure the charger is not placed on a metal surface or close to other chargers, as this can interfere with the charging process. Your new toothbrush gives you the option to choose between low and high intensity, and when you use the toothbrush for the first time, the default setting is the low intensity. To change the intensity, simply follow this step: 1: Press the power button once to turn on the toothbrush. - Press a second time within 2 seconds to change the intensity. - Press a third time within 2 seconds to pause
We hope this helps!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using Sonicare for many years and find them efficient and reliable until they start wobbling, get loose and get real noisey.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can adjust the intensity of the brush head which is great. The faster setting is more than enough to clean any teeth. The brush head replacement tracking feature with brush sync is also a great feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this toothbrush would have more power. I don’t feel my teeth are getting as clean as they did with my last Sonic toothbrush.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out to us regarding your Sonicare 4100 Series toothbrush. We are sorry to hear that your new toothbrush is not providing you with the same clean feeling as your previous model and hope we can help! This Philips Sonicare model comes with the EasyStart feature activated, which gently increases the power over the first 14 brushings. You can deactivate the feature by following these steps: 1: Put the handle on the plugged-in charger. 2: Press and hold the power on/off button while the handle remains on the charger. 3: Keep the power on/off button pressed until you hear a single short beep (after 3 seconds). 4: Release the power on/off button. - Triple tone of high-med-low means the EasyStart feature has been deactivated. The battery level indicator light will blink amber 1 time to confirm deactivation. We hope this helps!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a replacement instrument. Our original Sonicare electric toothbrush lasted over a decade. This toothbrush is lighter and more comfortable than the original.
