Product information

Pros and cons

According to our electric toothbrush expert

  • The pressure sensor slows down the brush when you apply too much pressure, so you don't damage your gums.
  • You can brush until the timer goes off, so you can be sure you brush long enough to keep your teeth healthy.
  • Thanks to BrushSync, you get a notification when you have to replace the brush attachment.
  • With 2 brushing modes, this toothbrush has less brushing modes than other toothbrushes from this series.

Description

With the Philips Sonicare 4100 HX3681/33 White, you prevent damaged gums. That's because the pressure sensor slows the brush down when you apply too much pressure. Thanks to the timer, you know exactly if you're brushing long enough. The toothbrush stops automatically after 2 minutes of brushing. You can choose between a standard and a sensitive brush setting. On a full battery, the toothbrush lasts 56 minutes. That's enough to brush your teeth for 14 days. When the brush attachment needs to be replaced, the toothbrush notifies you.

A nice new Sonicare that is well backwards compatible

  • light
  • Warning if brushing too hard
  • Powerful in position 2
  • USB charger

What a nice light thing, I thought when I used it for the first time. Because it only has a limited number of functions, and I had previously used a Sonicare brush, this model was nice and clear. New to me is that it warns you if you brush too hard. This is of course very nice for your gums. The included brush is particularly pleasant to brush and is nice and sturdy and makes good contact with the teeth. The USB base as a charger seems purely intended as a cost saving, but it is not really useful because it is actually irresponsible to use a USB charger in the bathroom due to possible moisture. Fortunately, the battery life is quite long, so you only need to charge once a week. If you have an old Sonicare charger lying around with such a pin in the middle; it also works excellently on this model. Very nice that Philips has kept this the same, which prevents a lot of e-waste. I thought it was a shame that the packaging contained unnecessary paper in the form of a booklet with warranty conditions in 10+ languages, but that will probably have to be done by local regulations. The manual seemed to be missing, but could be consulted online. I panicked a bit when I saw an RFID symbol on the brush. I was afraid that I would no longer be able to use generic brushes if I wanted to (whether this is wise is of course another matter). Fortunately, this turns out not to be the case; you have the freedom to use both brushes from Philips itself and generic brushes; even the older models. It's nice that Philips makes this possible. The modern brush that comes with the product has a built-in chip that keeps track of how many times you have brushed with it and the body warns you if you use the brush for too long. Fortunately, you can disable the warnings for this by pressing and holding the power button for 5 seconds. The explanation for this is in the manual that you can download from Coolblue. All in all, a very pleasant electric toothbrush that we will hopefully enjoy for many years to come.

Excellent toothbrush

The narrow brush gives me the feeling that I can reach everything well, unlike my previous brush. It is a nice, simple toothbrush with few functions. It also doesn't weigh much, which is very useful when traveling of course. Happy with the timer function. Unfortunately, there is no adapter included, only a charger with USB connection.
