Philips Sonicare 3100 Electric Toothbrush, Sonic Toothbrush, Pressure Sensor and Timer, Travel Case, Black, HX3673/14

Great item, bought this for a Christmas present, so can't really comment.

Easy to use keeps charge essy to use cleans teeth well

My mum has sensitive teeth... she often used a normal toothbrush but the dentist has advised otherwise due to other issues as she's getting older. We tried her on one of the other leading brands but she just couldn't get along with it as it was causing more irritation, sometimes causing gums to bleed, and the sensitive tooth was getting worse. This toothbrush dropped in price - now granted it is basic... it has one setting and a pressure sensor - what more do you need... i must admit I have a fancy one and the different settings don't do much. This does have softer bristles and it vibrates instead of rotating... I've told my mum to lightly glide over the teeth as though you are softly massaging them -- no need to brush or press hard -- BUT for best results you really need to do the full recommended 2mins (with any brush you should) Compared to the other leading brand - this is quieter, softer, and she's no longer getting gum bleeding and her sensitive tooth wasn't as bad after the first brush -- it's still early days but its a good sign. it comes with a travel case - the downside is that you cant charge whilst in the case ... but that's to be expected for the price. The batter is supposed to last 14days - i'd say just over a week...and whilst it does have a USB charging dock there is no wall adapter and charging does take a really long time (but again, at the discount price I really don't mind) Theres no need to include a wall adapter when you have computers, wall sockets now with USB, and most people have plenty of USB plugs that came with phones -- it saves on waste. The fact that it's USB also means no need for a shave plug socket or adapter either.

I always like sonicare product. Good electric tooth brushes. Given this one to my husband. He said his teeth look really clean. Only down side. This tooth brush needs to be charged every couple of days. Doesn't hold a charge for long. Needs recharging every two days.

Arrived on time really pleased nice little storage case

Worked well enough, but the battery didn't to hold charge anywhere near as well after about 18 months. Then yesterday after 3 years and 3 months of on and off use (I use other toothbrushes for travel) it completely died. The battery light comes on when plugged in, but the button does nothing. It has no screws or anything where I can see about repairing it, so it's just e-waste now. Bit of a shame as I liked the brush.

The best Electric toothbrush

I love this toothbrush and it is a great replacement for my older Colgate model. It is very quiet, cleans the teeth well, and has great battery life. I like the 30 second reminders for making sure that I clean the fronts and backs of my top and bottom teeth. It doesn't have any special functions but I personally don't see a need for these. Battery life is excellent. I know that some reviews complain about the battery life, but I think Philips used to use a different battery type in older models. This version contains a Lithium Ion battery that performs extremely well. This is one of the entry level models and while I am sure that the more expensive variants provide more features and possibly clean better, I don't think they are worth paying extra for.
