Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Electric Toothbrush - Light Blue (UK 2-pin Bathroom Plug) - HX6803/03

Exactly as described, long battery life, easy to set up and use. The toothbrush is quality made, good finish works very well in cleaning teeth with its speeds. Good value for money compared to other competitors, should last for years.

The Phillips Sonicare 4300 is a very good electric toothbrush for the £50 price tag. The toothbrush arrives with the vibrating handle, a charging base that is connected via a shaving plug, a travel case and one brush head.When you first use the brush, for the first 14 days it starts off in a "low vibration" mode to allow you to get used to the electric toothbrush and not to spray toothpaste everywhere, but if you've used one before, you can turn this off by pressing the power button for 2 seconds while charging.I had originally purchased an Oral B fancy bells and whistles with bluetooth (absolutely useless fyi) a while ago, and thought I would like to change, and I'm glad I did. I personally found the heads on the sonicare are slimmer, so I can more easily reach my gums, where I have had a lot of problems with in the past compared, even with the Oral B. I've had good experience with the battery life already, easily lasting 1 week while travelling.Pros:Good PriceGood Battery LifeExcellent Vibration/Cleaning - I much prefer the Sonicare to the Oral BSlim heads to easily reach gumsCons:The "pressure sensitivity" is a little hard to notice over the vibration of the handle

This is far superior to the Sonicare brush costing double the amount. It is more slender, lighter weight, more attractive and has most of the features of the more expensive model. Furthermore the on/off button is better made and the brush attachment is more robust. I have been using Sonicare brushes without a break for over 25 years and have yet to find a better alternative. I have never had a cavity and attribute this to the Philips toothbrush as much as to good luck. The last one I purchased was the more expensive model which lasted only 2 years before the button failed and the brush attachment fell apart. I decided to try this model which cost half the amount at time of purchase, (ca. £60) and have been very happy with it. The on/off button is silicon rubber that lies flush with the body rather than the protruding metallic-plastic buttons on the high-end model that failed quite quickly. It is also much thinner and lighter which is a bonus when travelling but also because it fits the hand more comfortably. This version offers three power modes and is easy to toggle between the three. There is a solid travel case and charger provided. The case is useless to me because it's so large and heavy it adds too much weight to my cabin baggage, but more traditional travellers may find it useful and it is of great quality. Finally I should point out that Sonicare brushes oscillate at 63,000 rpm when at full speed. Cheaper Chinese copies of sonic toothbrushes oscillate at about 42,000 rpm at most. Be careful to compare these figures if considering a cheaper alternative as you really are not getting like for like. The Philips can also be fitted with softer bristle brush heads if so desired which is a feature I am unsure about with cheaper brands. I was disappointed by the relatively short lifespan of the Philips top-of-the-range brush but feel this cheaper version is actually much better and a return to the quality I have grown to associate with this brand. This is the model to buy and the best brand in my opinion. Recommended. I hope this has been helpful.

After hearing that sonic toothbrushes have proven results I was unsure to switch from my oral b which works in a different way. However my teeth feel so squeaky clean with minimal efforts and my guns are not irritated anymore. The brush head is also nice and thin and gets into small spaces very easily. I highly recommend.

I treated myself this Christmas to this new electric toothbrush. My existing one was starting to look old and tatty and was no longer operating at full power, needing recharging more frequently.Until now I had always bought electric toothbrushes from this brand’s main competitors. But I was tempted by the price and reviews this one had.I have not been disappointed, although it took a week or so to get used to, because it felt far more powerful and the sonic vibrations really tickled my gums at first. Having said that, I now feel more confident that my teeth are getting a really good clean.The battery life is very good.It has 2 settings powerful and wow even more powerful.It has two lights on it, one to alert you to when it needs recharging and the other to remind you to replace your brush head, which needs doing every 3 months. I am not sure how the latter alert works as yet because I have not had it long enough.It has a pressure sensor, so it will also alert you if you are pressing too hard.It also has what they call Quadpacer & Smart-Timer, the idea is you divide your mouth into quarters, and it alerts you by vibrating when it is time to move on to the next quad. This does discipline you into spending the right amount of time cleaning.You get a handy travel case, which I did not have with my previous one.The toothbrush heads come with individual covers which is great for hygiene, my previous make did not supply such things.The other brand supplied various coloured washers for their brush heads so that if multiple people were using the same unit, they could distinguish their own brush. This is the only thing they have not included in their design.This brush represents great value for money, does an excellent job without having to break the bank.
