ProtectiveClean 6100 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, with Pressure Sensor, 3 Cleaning Modes, SmarTimer and QuadPacer, 14-Day Battery Life, Travel Case, Navy Blue, Model HX6871/49

I’ve been using the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 for a few weeks now, and it has completely upgraded my oral care routine. From the moment I started using it, I could feel the difference compared to my old manual toothbrush. My teeth feel cleaner, my gums healthier, and brushing has become an actual enjoyable part of my day rather than a chore. The built-in pressure sensor is amazing. I used to brush too hard sometimes without realizing it, but this toothbrush gently alerts me when I’m pressing too hard, which has already made a noticeable difference in gum comfort. The three cleaning modes are perfect. I use the standard Clean mode for daily brushing, the White mode when I want extra polish, and the Gum Care mode when I feel my gums need a little extra attention. I also love the SmarTimer and QuadPacer features. The 2-minute timer with 30-second intervals ensures I brush evenly across all quadrants of my mouth, and it’s surprisingly satisfying to know I’m brushing for the right amount of time. My dentist would approve. The battery life is even better than advertised. I went 17 days before it started blinking to indicate a low charge, and that was even after I missed brushing a couple of times (sue me, you do it too). The included case makes it easy to pack and protects the brush during trips. The pink color is cheerful and bright, which makes it feel like a little luxury every morning. The brush itself is gentle on the gums but incredibly effective at removing plaque. My teeth feel smooth and polished in a way I didn’t think was possible with an electric toothbrush. Switching from a manual brush was honestly a game-changer. One tip for anyone reading this: don’t use it like a normal manual toothbrush. You actually need to spend time on each tooth and let the brush do the work. Gently hold it in place and move it slowly across each area rather than scrubbing. Once you adjust to that, it’s incredibly comfortable and effective. Overall, I couldn’t recommend the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 more. It’s a high-quality, smart, and effective toothbrush that makes brushing easier, safer, and more enjoyable. I’ll definitely continue using this one long-term and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their oral care to the next level.

It seems wild to write a review for a toothbrush but this brush deserves one. I purchased this sonicare in May of 2019 after a not-so-stellar trip to the dentist. I had always used a manual brush prior to this and was, honestly, skeptical. Instantly I became a fan. I could write love songs about this brush. It gets everything off your teeth. Tartar, plaque, food. Haven’t had a cavity since I started using it. Anyway, it’s now March of 2026. The brush now won’t stay charged for long. Recently I noticed the vibration stopped in the brush head as the main metal mechanism in the base was loose. I’m still crushed. She gave me a long run. I purchased the less expensive sonicare as a replacement and it doesn’t hold up this brush. This one has more power and leaves your teeth with that after-dentist-clean feeling. If you’re thinking, “who would spend $100+ on a toothbrush?” You. You need this.

This is a great product! No going back to a regular toothbrush now!

This toothbrush is great! I love it. My first experience with an electric toothbrush was an oral b one I bought at the grocery store because it was on sale. I actually really liked it and had it for years. My husband was talked into buying a different kind by our dentist after he had a root canal. He was a bit loopy so agreed to buy two of them and they were terrible. But he had already thrown our other ones out so this is what we were left with. I hated it but didn’t want to buy another one and waste the money. It died after every use. It was just the worst. I think it was called pro sys. I wouldn’t recommend them. Anyway I got off track. This Philips toothbrush is great. My teeth feel very clean after brushing. I like the different mode options, different brush head options and best of all the battery lasts so long! I went on a weekend trip with this toothbrush and didn’t bring my charger. I didn’t need it. Then I didn’t charge it for about 2 weeks after getting home and it was still working fine all that time! Finally it let me know it was time to charge it but I was impressed with how long the battery lasted. It will also alert you when it’s time to change the brush head. If you’re looking for a efficient toothbrush and not worried about apps and other bells and whistles so brushes come with this is a perfect choice.

The Sonicare 6100 is the most effective electric toothbrush I've ever used. The charge lasts over 2 weeks and has a convenient travel case. My only issue is that in spite of drying the outside of the handle and brush head after every use and keeping in horizontal between uses, mold developed in the brush head! I was shocked as I have never seen this in any other brand's brush heads. I've only had it a few weeks and this was very disappointing. Update: by removing brush head after every use and storing it vertically, no mold has developed.

This electric toothbrush was recommended by my dental hygienist, and it has seriously improved my brushing routine. From the moment I started using it, I noticed my teeth felt cleaner and smoother than with a manual brush. The pressure sensor is a fantastic feature — it gently nudges you when you’re brushing too hard, which has helped protect my gums. I also love the customizable settings (Clean, White, and Gum Care) — they make it easy to tailor the brushing experience depending on what my mouth needs that day. The battery life is great too; I can go for about two weeks between charges, which is perfect for travel. Overall, this has become my go-to toothbrush and I’d highly recommend it to anyone serious about maintaining excellent oral health.

This is my second Sonicare. It's a quiet, efficient and gentle high quality toothbrush. Would highly recommend it!

Battery lasts over a week (I've never let it fully die). The different intensities helped me get used to the toothbrush. Once I did though, WOW. It's the closest to that dentist feeling after a cleaning that I've gotten. I used the Philips One previously and that was already an improvement over a normal toothbrush, but this one gets my teeth SO CLEAN. Also helps that it pulses if I push too hard. Only downside is I always need the manual to remember how to set the toothbrush replacement reminder, but that's about it!

A lo largo de los años Philips ha sido consistente con sus cepillos eléctricos. Son de buena calidad ya que realizan correctamente el trabajo para el cual fueron diseñados. Fallan a los dos años, inexorablemente.

Excellent product.
