[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toothbrush is great! The brush head is the perfect size and it's QUIET! I received this for free as part of a product test.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Sonicare 3100 is a great entry level toothbrush for those on a budget or wanting to just try out an electric toothbrush for the first time. This is a newer 3100 model that has 2 intensities and a Pressure sensor. It has an advertised 14 day battery life which is accurate but I'm unsure if this model uses a NiMH battery or a lithium ion battery. The charging stand works well and uses a USB connection for power, it does not include a USB power adapter.
It does a great job at cleaning my teeth and gives me a "straight from the dentist's office" sensation. I prefer the stronger intensity but I can see where some folks with more sensitive teeth and gums would prefer the lower setting. It does such a good job that I'm now curious about the higher-end Sonicare models that claim even better cleaning performance than the 3x this model states. Itching for an upgrade to a more powerful model now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this toothbrush for a couple of weeks and I have noticed an improvement in my teeth already. They are cleaner after brushing and when flossing I am not getting as much plaque as I was before. Also because my teeth are getting cleaner, they are getting whiter. One feature I like is that it senses how much pressure you use when you brush. The 30 second vibration to tell you to switch to a different section of teeth is noticeable and not too hard like others I have used. It makes the 2 minute recommend brushing seem faster. Upon opening the box I charged the toothbrush and it charged completely in a couple of hours. I used it for about 9 days two times a day before I needed to charge it again. I did receive this toothbrush for free as a part of a product review. This is a very good toothbrush and I am very happy I had the opportunity to review it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this toothbrush. Will never go back to a manual brush again. It had my teeth feeling so clean with minimal effort. The charge last about 2 weeks which is pretty decent. Love the brush head and shape. The only negative is the gap between the brush head and battery base tends to collect water. Bedsides that is was amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the smaller updated version the previous one I had decades ago was very hefty. I also like the options for vibration levels as well as the timer. I also really like that the USB power dock stays charged for 14 days. I got this product for free as part of a product test.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose a 5 star rating because of everything it does for me! This toothbrush gave me the best cleaning I've ever gotten from a toothbrush! I absolutely love that it has a stand to charge because I'm bad about charging things! The soft bristles were so soft and gentle on my teeth ans gums(ZERO BLEEDING)..I like that it has a timer,it feels greatin my hand! I'm so excited for this toothbrush,I will never make another switch,this is my forever toothbrush!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not an expert on electric toothbrushes in any way, so keep in mind that this review is from a lifelong manual toothbrush user. That being said, I LOVED this toothbrush! I was AMAZED how fast the head worked to work the bristles, and thought that the built-in timer was a wonderful idea -- just start using it, and you'll know you're done when it turns off.
The biggest drawback I found was the grip: While using it, my hand was understandably wet, and often slippery from the toothpaste. The smooth grip might feel wonderful, but tends to be hard to hold given the soapiness of the wet toothpaste. (Perhaps some rubber texturing along the sides of the grip might address that.) This isn't a real dealbreaker, in my opinion -- merely a minor annoyance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I must admit when I started using this Phillips Sonicare powered toothbrush, I did not think I would be a fan. The head was so much smaller than what I was used to. Now I see the full benefits of that design! My mouth has never felt cleaner. I was able to get all the way in the very back of my mouth and target those hard-to-reach teeth and areas. I was also surprised to see that I did not need to charge it every day but the super sleek charging base is compact and can be set up anywhere nearby.
