There are always people out there who are extremely helpful to all of us who are getting into something new for the first time, making content like this that saves us a lot stress of choice and potentially, money. Thank you for your work!
I find this verbal comparison presentation to be the most helpful presentation of the various products. It give buyers a chance to think about the products being discussed. I approve!!
I liked waterpik, but they now go for 2 in 1 flosser and toothbrush. I flosse with chinese little plug that I connect to bath pipe for 7mu, easy to maintain and no hassle.
Try the following Luciano: How to turn on and off pressure sensor - Put the handle on the plugged-in charger. - Press and hold the power on/off button while the handle remains on the charger. - Keep the power on/off button pressed until you hear a series of three short beeps (after 6-7 seconds). - Release the power on/off button. - Triple tone of low-med-high means the pressure sensor feature has been activated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink green 3 times in unison to confirm activation. - Triple tone of high-med-low means the pressure sensor feature has been deactivated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink amber 3 times in unison to confirm deactivation. - If you continue holding the power on/off button after the three short beeps, the activate/deactivate sequence repeats.
Hi, i'm looking to buy a sonicare brush is it a big differce between 31000 rpm and 62000 rpm? I do have some gum problems so i wonder should i go with the slower one or just the 62000 rpm one? The model Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 3100 series or the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300.
Great question. I have not seen a ProtectiveClean 3100 Series. There is the new 3100 Series (no ProtectiveClean in the name), is this the model you mean? I am going to assume it is. In short the difference isn't significant. However, it could have a positive impact long term. For this and because of the battery life and charging stand, I recommend the ProtectiveClean 4300 over the 3100 Series.
Have you by any chance tested the 4500 version (HX6839/28)? I got this one instead of 4300 and wondering whether to return it. How does it compare in terms of noise?
It is a slightly different variant. Can't really fault it to be honest. In terms of noise it is the same as the 4300, 5100 & 6100 featured in this video.
No, barely any difference. The 4300 is a good choice. The differences are: - The ProtectiveClean 4300 has 1 cleaning mode (Clean) compared to the 3 cleaning modes (Clean, White and Gum Care) of the 5100. - The 4300 has 2 brushing intensities (Low and High) that the 5100 does not have. - The 5100 has a cleaning mode button. - The 5100 has cleaning mode icons and LEDs on the handle. - The 4300 comes with 1 x C2 Optimal Plaque Defence brush head compared to the 1 x G2 Optimal Gum Health & 1 x W2 Optimal White brush head with the 5100 (White & Light Blue variant HX6859/17 comes with just 1 x G2 Optimal Gum Health) . - The 4300 comes in 5 colour options (Black, Navy Blue, Light Blue, Pink and Deep Pink) compared to the 4 (White and Light Blue, Pastel Pink, Turquoise and Black Grey) of the 5100 - The 5100 is the more expensive model.
My god, I can read a Specs Table... Useful comparison would explain how useful those different modes are in comparison to having less, how good they clean, how good it feels, vibration etc...
Thank you for the feedback. This is an older video of ours and I like to think we have improved considerably in the information and insight we provide in our newer comparison videos. I appreciate this doesn't help all that much right now. Being nigh on identical models, they all clean comparably and you don't need the extra features of the 6100 for example.
Potentially Thomas. I am not sure of the exact specifics around this. Philips are introducing a recycling programme for their brush heads, so I presume they are dealing with this accordingly.
Correct, it is a comparison between each to help understand the differences between these 3 models. It can be quite difficult to understand what sets them apart from each other, hence the video. There are separate review videos available for each brush on our channel that goes into more detail on each.
These are pretty fair prices. It depends on what the user wants or needs. You can get cheaper, equivalent models from the likes of Oral-B, but Sonicare do have some benefits. For most people the 4300 is more than enough and the 5100 and 6100 are not necessary, unless the extra features are really desired.
@@bddale6529 Ahh sorry about that. To be fair the 6100 is still an excellent toothbrush. Both are models we recommend. Do let us know what you think of it, once you have used it.
Amazon doing the 6100 today for £85..... reduced from £300!! Is Philips deliberately inflating it’s RRP prices?? When you look at selling prices it definitely seems so.
Hi Christian. There is not much difference. The 4100 is equivilant to the 4300, but the 4100 is sold in the USA/Canada primarily whereas the 4300 is designed for the UK/Europe. The 4100 does not come with a travel case in the box and the charging stand is suitable for USA/Canada power supply rather than the UK. The brush handles also come in slightly different colour options.
What about the most important difference? The 6100 the only brush in the ProtectiveClean series that uses 62,000 rpm instead of 31,000 rpm. If it weren't for the 6100 you had to get a DiamondClean brush to get this feature.
You are right. They all seem the have the same and they simply changed the definition from "strokes per minute" to "brush movements per minute" to double the number. That's why on different websites (even on Philips websites from different countries) you find different values.
Yes Patrick. It is quite confusing for everyone. Particularly when there is the general feeling that more = better cleaning. Technique and brushing time have a much greater impact.
After watching a couple more reviews on RU-vid and your help i canceled my order of the ProtectiveClean and i went for the Oral B instead. Thanks for clearing a lot of things up. I'm already using the Oral B for two days now and I'm very happy with it. The reason why I changed my decision is, because i think that rotary brush heads of the Oral B should be better suited for cleaning the back of my front teeth. Other than that I think i would have been happy with both brushes.
Ronak. The brushes we cover are mainly those available in the UK and the USA. I have not seen the 4500 available in either country as yet. Which country are you in?
The 4500 has the Same Model number of the 5100 (HX6830) ive got a 4500 HX6830/44 and is a 5100 with only 2 cleaning modes instead of 3 and doesn’t come with a travel case
