Who would have thought toothbrushes would become such a competitive industry. It used to be we used what we got for free at the dentist, but not any more, now dentists want us to use vibrating, electric and ultrasonic toothbrushes too… but we’re not getting those for free after a cleaning! One of the newer brushes on the shelves at your local drug store is the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100. In this review I'll try the toothbrush out here in my home over several weeks. I'll tell you what special features it has, what it's like to use, and I'll wrap things up with the pros and the cons and if I think it’s a good sonic electric toothbrush for you.

Pros
• BrushSync technology lets the toothbrush figure out the mode and intensity and tells
you when to change the brush head.
• Intensity levels and brushing modes offer versatility.
Smart timer and quadpacer help you evenly brush.
Many settings can be turned off if they bother you.
• Quiet without compromising on tried and tested sonic technology.
Cons
• A bit expensive.
• My travel case is non-charging.
• Comes with only one brush head.
As far as toothbrushes go, there has been a steady increase in the number of electric
toothbrushes littering your local CVS. It started with vibrations and simple rotations and slowly
spawned a high tech industry. At the top of the line, electric toothbrushes boast AI-based
adaptiveness, pressure sensitivity adjustments, tracking and coaching apps, and self-learning
algorithms that ensure you get a perfect clean every single time.
Sitting solidly towards the top of the line-up is the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100.
What you get
When you unpack the box there's a few things inside; you'll get your new toothbrush handle, a single brush head, a charging base with AC cord, and some type of travel case (depending which model you choose the travel case will either be strictly for transport, or for charging also).
Design
The ProtectiveClean 6100 comes in four subtle colours: pastel pink (my choice), white silver, navy blue, and deep purple. A practical design, usage of metal, and an ergonomic feel give the toothbrush a durable and premium feeling. The buttons are easily findable and, after some time, become part of your muscle memory.
The toothbrush has two buttons and a handful of lights. The power button is obvious, then the second button allows you to switch between cleaning modes and intensity level, which we’ll get to. Other lights on the device will show you the power or intensity as well as the overall battery level and when it's time to change your brush head.
Performance and Technology
When you turn on the ProtectiveClean 6100, it’s quiet; significantly quieter than its predecessors. Philips, however, did not trade off quietness for power. With three levels of intensity and three modes you’ve got options, but what Philips markets as “special modes” are really just different durations; Clean Mode is a 2 minute cycle, White Mode runs 2.5 minutes and Gum Care Mode is a 3 minute option. Whichever mode you choose, you can dial the intensity of the vibrations up or down among three settings, so it’s possible to really dial in your preferences.
Using Philips Sonicare 6100
Actual brushing is thorough and doesn't leave you wanting more. The patented 'Sonic'
technology Philips has perfected over the years uses a combination of your toothpaste, water and high-frequency oscillations to break up plaque or debris, even in difficult-to-reach areas.
Sixty-two thousand brush movements/minute do a fine job of removing stains, clearing up
plaque, and showing noticeable improvement compared to an ordinary toothbrush over a few
weeks.
A neat feature for new users is that over the first few uses, the toothbrush builds up its intensity to build familiarity and comfort, since plenty of folks find these brushes head-numbing.
There is no tongue cleaner on the back of the brush, a feature often appreciated. However, this
also means that when brushing those difficult-to-reach areas, the back of the brush will hit
some teeth, and the clattering 'sonic' vibration technology might irritate.
Overall review: Philips Sonicare 6100
Like many people who preferred manual hand-operated brushing experiences to their electric
solutions, I never looked back after getting my first Sonicare many years ago. However, only so much technology can be crammed into a toothbrush. The Sonicare 6100 is a solid and effective toothbrush in my opinion, albeit slightly overpriced compared to its predecessors.
