Pros and cons

According to our electric toothbrush expert

You keep brushing until the timer goes off, so you know you’re brushing long enough for healthy teeth.
The pressure sensor slows down the brush when you press too hard, so you can prevent damage.
Thanks to BrushSync, the toothbrush lets you know when you need to replace the brush attachment.
With 2 brushing modes, it’s harder to adjust the brushing intensity to your teeth and gums.
You don’t get a travel case to take the toothbrush with you on vacation.

Description

You can always brush long enough with the Philips Sonicare 4100 Series HX4042/52. This electric toothbrush gives you a signal after 2 minutes of brushing. The pressure sensor automatically slows down the brushing movement if you press too hard. This way, you protect your teeth and gums. The toothbrush gives you a notification when it’s time to replace the attachment. You don’t have to think about it yourself, so you always brush with a fresh brush.

Clean teeth and with gum massage

Mode for your gums
Adjustable vibration intensity
Lasts a long time per charge
Replacing brushes is expensive

The Philips toothbrush ecosystem has expanded considerably, so there is plenty of choice. This Sonicare comes with two standard brush heads that do their job well, but the model has a few extra features that I am really happy with. I have sensitive gums, and this brush has a massage mode. That feels very pleasant, and it switches to it automatically when the normal brushing time is over.

Philips recommends brushing on the strongest setting for the best results, and that setting is quite intense if you aren't used to it. To help you get used to it, the brush gradually builds up the speed to the highest setting. That works very well for me.

A full charge easily lasts longer than a week, even if two people use it. You charge it with the included charger, which also works on other Philips toothbrushes. Handy for holidays, because this way you can take multiple brushes with a single charger.

All in all, a very nice toothbrush.

Good first electric toothbrush

Handy timer function
Smooth, clean teeth
Battery life
Vibrations

This is my first electric toothbrush after a manual one, and I am really impressed! What strikes me is how clean my teeth feel after brushing. Much smoother than with a regular toothbrush.

What I really had to get used to, however, is the vibration speed of the Sonicare.

It has 2 speeds, but even the lowest felt extremely intense.

I must say, though, that I am starting to get used to it more and more, and the results speak for themselves.

The built-in timer is very handy; it lets you know exactly when to brush the next section of your teeth. It stops automatically when the 2 minutes are up. The battery also lasts a long time, as I haven't had to charge it after 3 weeks.

However, I do find it a bit of a drawback that it doesn't come with a charger, only a USB port.

Great toothbrush for a great price

good value for money
extra option for gum attention

Nice toothbrush, good price for a great device. Feels solid and has an extra option to give your gums a bit more attention. The on/off button has also been changed; it broke easily on the previous model.
