It's TRASH once the batteries die:
The good things I liked about this brush you can read in all the other reviews. When it works, it does well at reducing stains tartar and plaque. BUT....I think giving instructions that the batteries can be replaced is a SCAM!!! (I bet the most successful people who could change the batteries are the people who work for PHILIPS and have "special" tools provided by their employer so they can tell us how easy it is to change the batteries). I followed the instructions in the book with a flat head screwdriver... more info
Phillips Sonicare Advance 4100 Sonic review:
I bought this to replace my older model and am happy with the product. I thought buying a newer version would remedy the problems. There are a few issues with the fact that even if I clean the inside of the toothbrush head, it still collects bacteria there and this seems to be an issue of design of the product. It works great and the charge lasts a long time, but it's not very portable and again, the bacteria issue is something that needs to be resolved.
Best toothbrush I've used.:
I can't live without this toothbrush. Once I used this, I didn't want to try any others. It has a 2 minute timer for brushing your teeth. I change the brush every 6 months. I found my gums don't get sore any more as a bonus. And when I go to the dentist for checkups, cleaning is easier.
Very Pleased:
I have used a Phillips sonicare for about 10 years now and was very pleased to be able to order a new on to match the one I wore out. I have been very satisfied with the reports I get at the Denist since I began using the Sonicare
