Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare Advance 4100 Sonic Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: I was surprise to discovered all Sonicare toothbrushes are disposable item.
Summary: 1 Stars
I was surprise to discovered all Sonicare toothbrushes are disposable item. Its battery cannot be replace what so ever. Like any other electronic products, its battery and IC board are toxic and can only be dispose by your local electronic waste program. Mine lasted about 6 months, at this rate...we're going to end up tones of these in our landfill. It is airresponsible to produce products like this. If I had known about this I would never have bought it.
Forget about this hi-tech marketing stuff. Use a regular toothbrush and get your teeth clean regularly is the best prevention.
Customer Review: Make the investment in your teeth and you will be thankful.
Summary: 5 Stars
I am on my second Sonicare and I got my first when I was pregnant with my 10 year old! Cleans great! People speak of the cost. This is cheap compared to the investment in dental work if not used. These don't even compare to a regular tooth brush. Make the investment in your teeth and you will be thankful.Customer Review: Otherwise it sits in the drawer like an old-fashioned toothbrush.
Summary: 5 Stars
For those complaining about short-lived units: the key to longevity with this (or any Ni-Cad battery device) is not to leave it on the charger constantly. Only use the charger after the battery is drained. Mine gets recharged maybe once every 2 weeks. Otherwise it sits in the drawer like an old-fashioned toothbrush. Another trick is to take teflon tape (used by plumbers) and seal tightly the hold-down cap of the brush head - this prevents water from rusting out the magnets under the brush head.Customer Review: But when it comes to getting your teeth sparkling clean and impressing your dentist...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third Sonicare since 1994 and there's one thing I've come to realize: Give or take a couple features, they all clean teeth equally well.
This one might not have the special 30-second quadrant brushing beeps that some newer ones have. It might not have the skinny, flexible neck either. But when it comes to getting your teeth sparkling clean and impressing your dentist, this one gets the job done just as well.
Battery life? Never had a problem with any Sonicare, and this one is no exception.
Replacement heads? Still a bit expensive, but well worth it. For some reason, I seem to go through more of them with this model than the previous two.
I definitely recommend Sonicare and wouldn't hesitate to buy this model again.
Customer Review: As a matter of fact I read a report comparing these three brands and the Braun won out by a good amount.
Summary: 1 Stars
Got two years tops out of the battery which canNOT be replaced. Bad for the environment and it costs a fortune. My Ultrasonex and Braun do as good a job if not better. I like that the Braun swirls around and seems to do better getting under the gums and between teeth. As a matter of fact I read a report comparing these three brands and the Braun won out by a good amount.
