Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean Model 4300 Electric Toothbrush, Black

I treated myself this Christmas to this new electric toothbrush. My existing one was starting to look old and tatty and was no longer operating at full power, needing recharging more frequently. Until now I had always bought electric toothbrushes from this brand’s main competitors. But I was tempted by the price and reviews this one had. I have not been disappointed, although it took a week or so to get used to, because it felt far more powerful and the sonic vibrations really tickled my gums at first. Having said that, I now feel more confident that my teeth are getting a really good clean. The battery life is very good. It has 2 settings powerful and wow even more powerful. It has two lights on it, one to alert you to when it needs recharging and the other to remind you to replace your brush head, which needs doing every 3 months. I am not sure how the latter alert works as yet because I have not had it long enough. It has a pressure sensor, so it will also alert you if you are pressing too hard. It also has what they call Quadpacer & Smart-Timer, the idea is you divide your mouth into quarters, and it alerts you by vibrating when it is time to move on to the next quad. This does discipline you into spending the right amount of time cleaning. You get a handy travel case, which I did not have with my previous one. The toothbrush heads come with individual covers which is great for hygiene, my previous make did not supply such things. The other brand supplied various coloured washers for their brush heads so that if multiple people were using the same unit, they could distinguish their own brush. This is the only thing they have not included in their design. This brush represents great value for money, does an excellent job without having to break the bank.

Exactly as described, long battery life, easy to set up and use. The toothbrush is quality made, good finish works very well in cleaning teeth with its speeds. Good value for money compared to other competitors, should last for years.

This is far superior to the Sonicare brush costing double the amount. It is more slender, lighter weight, more attractive and has most of the features of the more expensive model. Furthermore the on/off button is better made and the brush attachment is more robust. I have been using Sonicare brushes without a break for over 25 years and have yet to find a better alternative. I have never had a cavity and attribute this to the Philips toothbrush as much as to good luck. The last one I purchased was the more expensive model which lasted only 2 years before the button failed and the brush attachment fell apart. I decided to try this model which cost half the amount at time of purchase, (ca. £60) and have been very happy with it. The on/off button is silicon rubber that lies flush with the body rather than the protruding metallic-plastic buttons on the high-end model that failed quite quickly. It is also much thinner and lighter which is a bonus when travelling but also because it fits the hand more comfortably. This version offers three power modes and is easy to toggle between the three. There is a solid travel case and charger provided. The case is useless to me because it's so large and heavy it adds too much weight to my cabin baggage, but more traditional travellers may find it useful and it is of great quality. Finally I should point out that Sonicare brushes oscillate at 63,000 rpm when at full speed. Cheaper Chinese copies of sonic toothbrushes oscillate at about 42,000 rpm at most. Be careful to compare these figures if considering a cheaper alternative as you really are not getting like for like. The Philips can also be fitted with softer bristle brush heads if so desired which is a feature I am unsure about with cheaper brands. I was disappointed by the relatively short lifespan of the Philips top-of-the-range brush but feel this cheaper version is actually much better and a return to the quality I have grown to associate with this brand. This is the model to buy and the best brand in my opinion. Recommended. I hope this has been helpful.

So far so good -had a year or so

I bought this over two years ago and the reason I'm writing a review is because it had an intermittent fault that gradually got worse so I called Philips to talk about getting it repaired expecting to pay for this. However, the person I spoke said that because it was only a few months out of warranty she would get it replaced for free. Fantastic. They sent me a label and other paperwork by email and I printed it out along with my original receipt and sent it to them. They paid the postage so it only cost me 40p this being the cost of an envelope. Once they had received my faulty toothbrush they immediately sent a replacement. What I got was a brand new handle, a charger and a brush head. I have used a Philips' sonic toothbrush for many years and it gives me great results. Philips provided a really excellent service and I'm very grateful for their generosity.

Ian autistic and struggle with a myriad of different sensations against my body/skin but this has worked really well. It vibrates intensely but at a manageable level and I can feel how clean my teeth are after using it. Occasionally the vibration seems stronger at times than others but that's not an issue. It vibrates every 30 seconds, before turning off after 2 mins and the battery lasts so long you may forget where you put the charger... A very easy way of brushing your teeth as all you need to do is hold it lightly against your teeth and move it a little. This is my 2nd electric toothbrush (different brand previously whose battery just died and never recovered) and I thoroughly recommend it.

I've been using the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 Sonic electric toothbrush for just over 2 weeks and I have been very happy with it. The biggest improvement I have already noticed from my previous Sonicare toothbrush (Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush) is the longer battery life as I have still not had to charge it since I started using it. With my previous toothbrush, I would only get around a week's worth of use between each charge. Of course, this may change as the new one gets older but as of now, I am very impressed. I also love the design and the simplicity of the functions. My previous toothbrush had many functions which I never actually used which was why I opted to go for this one with the one mode as it was the same mode I used 9/10 times on my old toothbrush. The performance of the new toothbrush is also very good I have not noticed any significant difference in how it cleans. I still get the same great feeling after using it. I am also intrigued to see how well the BrushSync feature works in terms of letting me know when to change the brush head. I generally change the brush head every 3 months so I'm interested to see if the BrushSync feature works to a similar timeframe. So overall even after only using this for what I would call a short period of time I have been very impressed with this product and I would definitely recommend it.

The Phillips Sonicare 4300 is a very good electric toothbrush for the £50 price tag. The toothbrush arrives with the vibrating handle, a charging base that is connected via a shaving plug, a travel case and one brush head. When you first use the brush, for the first 14 days it starts off in a "low vibration" mode to allow you to get used to the electric toothbrush and not to spray toothpaste everywhere, but if you've used one before, you can turn this off by pressing the power button for 2 seconds while charging. I had originally purchased an Oral B fancy bells and whistles with bluetooth (absolutely useless fyi) a while ago, and thought I would like to change, and I'm glad I did. I personally found the heads on the sonicare are slimmer, so I can more easily reach my gums, where I have had a lot of problems with in the past compared, even with the Oral B. I've had good experience with the battery life already, easily lasting 1 week while travelling. Pros: Good Price Good Battery Life Excellent Vibration/Cleaning - I much prefer the Sonicare to the Oral B Slim heads to easily reach gums Cons: The "pressure sensitivity" is a little hard to notice over the vibration of the handle

En casa somos bastante meticulosos con la higiene dental, especialmente con las niñas que están en plena etapa de aprendizaje, y mi esposa, que por su diabetes debe tener un cuidado bucal aún más riguroso. Yo, como técnico en industria, estoy acostumbrado a valorar productos bien diseñados, prácticos y duraderos… y el Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 ha cumplido (y superado) todas nuestras expectativas. 🙌 Desde el primer uso, se siente la diferencia respecto a un cepillo manual. La tecnología sónica es realmente efectiva, y notas la limpieza profunda en cada rincón. Tiene dos niveles de intensidad, lo que viene genial para personas con encías sensibles (como mi esposa) o para cuando las niñas lo prueban bajo supervisión. Un detalle que me gustó mucho es el sensor de presión, que te avisa si estás cepillando demasiado fuerte —algo que yo solía hacer sin darme cuenta 😅. Y el temporizador integrado ayuda a seguir los 2 minutos recomendados por los dentistas, divididos en cuatro intervalos de 30 segundos para cada zona de la boca. ¡Así no se nos escapa nada! ⏱️🪥 En cuanto a diseño, es ligero, minimalista y elegante. El modelo blanco HX6807/51 se adapta perfectamente al baño y no ocupa nada. La batería dura varios días (¡una semana larga en nuestro caso!) con solo una carga. --- ✅ Puntos positivos: Tecnología sónica muy eficaz: dientes más limpios desde el primer uso. Dos niveles de intensidad, ideal para encías sensibles o niños. Sensor de presión, útil para no dañar el esmalte ni encías. Temporizador inteligente para asegurar una limpieza completa. Buena autonomía de batería y base de carga sencilla. --- ❌ Puntos negativos: Incluye solo un cabezal, lo que obliga a comprar recambios pronto si es para uso familiar. No tiene estuche de viaje, lo que sería útil para llevarlo al trabajo o vacaciones. Aunque es resistente, no es completamente impermeable, así que mejor evitar mojarlo mucho. --- En resumen, el Philips Sonicare 4300 es un excelente cepillo eléctrico para quienes quieren cuidar su boca de forma seria y cómoda. Nosotros lo usamos ya como parte de la rutina familiar. Mi esposa lo ha incorporado con gusto a su cuidado diario, las niñas lo encuentran divertido, y yo… bueno, ¡hasta he reducido mis visitas al dentista! 😅👏 🙏 ¡Gracias por leer mi reseña! Si buscas un cepillo que realmente marque la diferencia y ayude a toda la familia a mejorar su salud bucal, este modelo es una apuesta segura.

I've used related variants of this brush/model for the better part of a decade now. While the performance is good initially, all devices had to be replaced at least once. My original purchase was replaced by Philips costumer service after about two years of use. Its replacement lasted another two. I then bought a new one which broke down within two months. The replacement lasted for nearly two years. Amazon replaced it a second time and now, 6 months later, it broke down again. The problem is always the same: some sort of internal disconnection, leading to loss of oscillation. These things are seemingly not designed to last and even though warranty might cover it if the problem occurs "on time," it's wasteful/negative environmental impact. As Dutch person (Philips is Dutch) I'm embarrassed and will not be buying this again or bothering with yet another replacement.

Good product and great battery lifeش

Na toll, ein deutscher Text auf Amazon und kein Hinweis darauf, dass es sich um einen Stecker handelt, der nicht in Deutschland passt. Danke für nichts

Ich benutze diese Zahnbürstenserie seit ca 4 Jahren und bin mit der Funktion und dem Putzergebnis sehr zufrieden. Der Akku hält ca eine Woche, so dass man einen Kurzurlaub auch ohne Ladeadapter machen kann :-). Doch leider ist gestern mal wieder das obere Lager kaputt gegangen. Das äußert sich dadurch, dass der Stift auf den die Bürste gesteckt wird plötzlich seinen seitlichen Halkt verliert und die Zahlbürste eher wackelt als vibriert und das Arbeitsgeräusch deutlich lauter wird. Das sit nun bereits die zweite Zahnbürste mit diesem Defekt. Da ich die letzte Zahlnbürste erst am 13. Juni 2023 gekauft habe würde ich mich über eine Zusendung einer neuen Bürste auf Kulanz sehr freuen, da ich ansonsten total zufrieden bin mit dem Produkt. -> Nachtrag wegen erfolgreicher Reparatur Bei meinem Versuch mir das Innenleben mal anzuschauen war ich ganz erstaunt, dass der Boden nicht verklebt sondern nur mit einer Dichtung eingesetzt ist. So konnte ich das Innenleben der Zahlbürste herausklopfen und sah gleich den Übeltäter. Die Schraube, die den oberen Metallstift mit dem Motor befestigt hatte sich gelöst. Ich habe die Schraube mit etwas Locktite benetzt und wieder festgezogen. Schön, dass dieses Elektokleingerät nicht vorzeitig in den Schrott muss. Dafür gibt es wieder volle Punktzahl.
