Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Electric Toothbrush, Sonic Toothbrush with Two Intensity Levels, Pressure Sensor and Timer, Black, Model HX6800/87

Great toothbrush, does what it's supposed to do, teeth feel very clean after use. This is my second one of this model. The previous one lasted roughly seven years, before it bit the dust, just wouldn't charge in the end. But after that length of time I can't complain. The model was once again on offer on Amazon just before Christmas, so I just replaced it. If it lasts another seven years I'll be happy.

This is probably my 4th Philips Sonicare toothbrush. My old one suddenly stopped working and after a little research, plus an Amazon gift voucher - I decided on this one. I'm so glad I didn't get a different one. There's one button, which I love. No extra button for whitening teeth. No extra button for different pulses. I just want to clean my teeth and go. The brush itself comes with a head, plus a travel case. I recently travelled and used the case. You pull off the head, and lay both handle and head in the box. It's very secure, clean , and ensures I don't accidentally turn on the handle while in my case. I also LOVE these heads. My previous Healthy White models have had white heads with larger surface areas which have curved bristles. These are smaller and more straight, meaning I can get to all areas of my mouth easily. The handle also senses the head and informs you when it's been 3 months, so you can change to a new head. The orange light and vibrations can't be missed. It looks good and on a single charge it lasts me around 2 weeks. It's simple and easy to use if you just want clean teeth! It charges overnight (I'd say maybe 6 hours though I haven't timed it) but it's worth pointing out that it has a 2 pin plug so you'll need an adapter if you don't have those shaver ports in your bathroom.

Likes:- battery life. First full charge lasted just over 3 weeks, much better than the 2 weeks advertised (used twice a day on max vibrate). This and price are probably the most important factor in buying for me- dual speed vibration option- price (much more keenly priced than all the unnecessary Bluetooth enabled and app-connected brushes)Dislikes:- colour. I went for the black one as it was approx £30 cheaper than white at the time. Of course I could have paid more if I was desperate- travel case. Looks, feels and is cheap/poor quality. Like others have said, it doesn't really hold anything firmly in place. Having said that I generally take a good old fashioned manual toothbrush when travelling- no usb charging capability. It needs the philips charger with the two pin plug.Overall, despite my minor dislikes, it is a good brush at a good price and I am happy

My very first electric toothbrush was an old Philips version but when that one died after many years use I decided to try Oral B and chose the Pro 3000. I didn’t want all the App. based rubbish, just a good electric toothbrush. I’ve been using the same Oral B for some years nowI wondered about replacing my Oral B with a newer version but decided to try Philips Sonicare againThis one has the same cleaning (62,000 strokes a minute) as their more advanced models but, again, I didn’t want/need all the fancy bits like App. based etcI immediately put it on charge and left it for a while until fully charged before trying it outWow! What an amazing clean this thing does. It definitely cleans better than the Oral B I have been using all this timeThe brush head looks like a normal manual brush only smaller whereas the Oral B uses a round head. I thought I may not get on with this new shape but because it’s a small head there was absolutely no problems whatsoeverThe only ‘smart’ thing this Philips toothbrush has is BrushSync which monitors your use and lights up the BrushSync light on the handle when it’s time to change the brush head, apart from that it has two speeds but I only use it on the highest settingAll in all I think it’s an extremely good brush and not too expensive eitherHighly recommendedUPDATE: I’ve been using this Sonicare toothbrush since I received it and it has only just flashed up that it needs a charge; so it lasted exactly one month between charges which I think is very good. It’s been an amazing product and my teeth look and feel extremely clean

This was bought to replace a sonicare toothbrush that gave up after over 20 years, this new one is easy to use the brush heads are small so can clean areas better than the C1 type I was using the colour is vibrant the heads are whitening heads, it vibrates and burbles if you press to hard, the heads are easy to fit & last 3 months the base charger is simple to use. The only downside I found was that I wish I had bought it sooner because it cleans to brilliantly, it wasn't overly expensive compared to some of their range the charge lasts a while and charges up quickly, I'm over joyed with my purchase, if you want cleaner whiter teeth for longer and a simple to use system this is it the on button give 2 choices sensitive or normal brushing, it beeps when you should brush a different quarter of your mouth,I can't find a negative for this product.

Having had several Oral B brushes for years I thought I would try a different one, and different it is. It is smooth where the old one is clunky, it is quiet where the other one is loud. It is not so much brushing ones teeth, as having them caressed by a gentle humming bird. It is more expensive but well worth the money IMO
