Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, Whitening, Pink

Product Information

But, irrespective of the reason behind this, it makes sense only to compare the 6100 on the price that it will typically sell at, rather than the price is was upon launch. A useful mode to also use fairly regularly to give your gums a little extra attention and keep them in good shape. The following Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush comparison chart shows the main brushes available and how they compare.

Triple tone of low-med-high means the pressure sensor feature has been activated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink green 3 times in unison to confirm activation.Depending on the model, depends on how exactly this is done. There is often a separate intensity button, or the power button is used to change this, once powered on. Easy-Start

Bychanging either the amplitude or the frequency; or varying one or both of them during the brushing cycle, the different cleaning/brushing modes are achieved. E.g. Gentle/Sensitive modes will operate at a lower amplitude than Clean mode. Brushing intensity The brush head also tells the toothbrush which mode to select: using a gum care brush head will select the optimal mode, although you can always override the setting. As the mode is selected, it is normally lit up/illuminated by a light within the handle, so it is very clear and easy to see exactly what mode you have switched on. Which brushes have which cleaning modes? Triple tone of high-med-low means the pressure sensor feature has been deactivated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink amber 3 times in unison to confirm deactivation.Slightly disappointing accessories aside, particularly the bog-standard travel case, the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is a top electric toothbrush. Yes, it’s comparatively expensive, but it’s smart brush-head technology and excellent cleaning ability make it a winner. If you want clean teeth with the minimum of fuss, this is the best sonic toothbrush that I’ve tested. Verdict If the brush handle has Bluetooth connectivity and is connected to a smartphone the mode will last for just 2 minutes. If there is no active Bluetooth connection, the mode will run for the longer 3 minutes.

When you aren’t rinsing your toothbrush under the tap, you’ll find some easy-to-use controls on the handle of the ProtectiveClean 6100. While the top button turns the toothbrush on, the one underneath acts as a mode selector. Now what you feel this brush is actually worth may differ and I will say that personally I do not think this is the best value for money you can get of an electric toothbrush today. For example, the W2 Optimal White brush head will deliver the best results when used on the White/White+ cleaning mode.It was Philips, under the Sonicare brand, that first brought this to market in 1992, although others like Colgate & Omron now use this technology too.
