Not all power toothbrushes are created equal. Only Sonicare combines 31,000 brush strakes per minute and extra-wide sweeping motion to create dynamic fluid cleaning action.
Inspired by the sonic technology used in dental offices. Sonicare's unique dynamic fluid action gently and effectively reachs deep between teeth and below the gum line.
Sonicare's Advance 4100 (previously known as the PS-1) cleans with an ultrahigh-speed motion, leaving teeth feeling sparkling fresh. Extra-soft bristles let the user apply as much pressure as desired, making the Sonicare perfect for people with sensitive teeth, braces, and implants. While proven to be as or more effective than manual brushing for removing plaque and preventing gingivitis, the Sonicare Advance is also guaranteed to remove 80% of tobacco, tea, and coffee stains in just 28 days. The Smartimer function takes the guesswork out of how long to brush by automatically shutting off the brush after two minutes. The 4100 includes one standard-size brush head, a charger base, and a handle that holds its charge for up to two weeks, making it ideal for travel. A two-year warranty covers the handle and charger against defects. --Ann Bieri

NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS PROCDUCT EXCEPT IF YOU NEED ONE, GET IT.
IT HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY WITH GUM PROBLEMS.

Planned Obsolescence:
Here are two things Phillips will not tell you about their Sonicare toothbrushes and heads. 1) The collar that holds the toothbrush to the handle will disintegrate in a couple of months. That's what prompted this review, because they would not replace mine after it fell apart two weeks after purchasing a replacement. They manufacturer these things to disintegrate so you will continue to buy replacements - planned obsolescence. However, I suspect their China supplier is skimping on the plastic... more info
Brush your teeth, it's still the law - this is the next best thing:
We bought the kids one of these for each after the cheaper Sonicare Xtreme E3000 Power Toothbrush - Orange failed repeatedly - we actually had Amazon send us replacements. These are the perfect way to introduce tweens to a toothbrush that's going to keep their teeth happy, clean and healthy for as long as they need to bite and chew things. They've been using them for almost one year now and they work as expected. No breakdowns whatsoever and the price is absolutely right. If you don't want to... more info
cleaner teeth:
My teeth have never felt cleaner. I could tell a difference in just a few days. I know it's the basic model, but that's really all you need. No need for all the bells and whistles.
