Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, with Pressure Sensor, 3 Cleaning Modes, SmarTimer and QuadPacer, 14-Day Battery Life, Travel Case, White, Model HX6857/11

Worth the investment!!
I have been using this toothbrush for 3 years now.Was suggested to me by a dentist who told me that it’s more efficient and that it causes less gum recession due to you not over brushing manually.Ever since using it, I have had cleaner teeth and is also great if you have a post braces permanent chain behind your teeth.I even got sooo lazy during pandemic and wfh that I skipped a lot of teeth brushing. I moved across the country and was behind on my last cleaning as well. I was CONVINCED I had a cavity and my teeth were in bad shape but was told my teeth were in great shape and 0 cavities. I’m not recommending you not brush your teeth but the performance is so good that even with a lack of consistent use, the brush still gets the job done!Is also easy to wipe down with running alcohol every so often when it gets kinda icky under the head. You can also buy generic brand compatible heads which saves a lot of money in that area.Battery life is pretty good, although I will say it does sometimes die quicker with age but is still not that often that it’s a bother.

Great, but no different than older model!
I bought this thinking my 6-year old Sonicare was dead. Tried this when I received it and1. I could easily tell that there was no difference between this model and my old Sonicare regarding performance.2. The charging base that came with this model charged my old Sonicare, reviving it quickly.It’s apparent to me that my old Sonicare simply needs a new charging base, which Amazon sells for $12.95.Even if the description of replacement bases don’t include the model # of an older model, a little research assured me that, as long as the base is compatible with Phillips Sonicare toothbrushes, it will be compatible with all models. As I just discovered myself, the charging base included with this new model works perfectly to charge my old brush, which only has one function. And again – this new 3-function model is virtually the same as my old model re performance. I used them both, after the old one took the charge, and my old one’s 1-function (basically “On” and “Off”) is no different than this newer version with 3 functions. Could not see a difference between those 3 functions. Each = my old “on-off” brush!Giving this 5 stars because I have no doubt it’s no different my old Philips Sonicare which simply needs a new charger.It’s not about “Battery Life,” but rather the charge the unit holds!“For Traveling,” you’ll pay $30 more than the basic model for the travel case.The “Timer function” is the same on older or more basic new models as it is with this model (excellent).

Dentist recommended….
My dentist recommended the brand. I’ve been using the toothbrush for a few months. It works well. It holds the charge for more than a week so it is good to travel with. The unit is compact…..easy to leave on the bathroom counter. I’ve tried other electric brushes and they were very harsh. This brand gives a thorough cleaning without any discomfort.

replacements for gum were not found but we found them in a storeprice is cheaper elsewheretwo for the price of one

While I am a minimalist, I don’t hesitate to purchase items that improve my quality of life. This is indeed one of the big upgrades from my average toothbrush. Since I started using this, My gum never bleed again during brush, the tartar built up actually got destroyed by the vibrations, and my oral hygiene is just so much cleaner. Lastly, I heard the Oral-B brush is slightly better in terms of functionality, but Sonicare brush just look so much better in terms of aesthetic. 100% would recommend (And I did during my work’s standup meeting)
