[@Necreon021]

There are always people out there who are extremely helpful to all of us who are getting into something new for the first time, making content like this that saves us a lot stress of choice and potentially, money. Thank you for your work!

[@icecreamforever]

£9.50 for a replacement brush head FFS!

[@tardwrangler]

The naming for the products is all fucked

[@gerard4441]

the other modes are rather redundant. you only really need one mode

[@Conical187]

yes thats true. thats pretty true

[@doppelganger9254]

This is not a review, this is just reading the features from the spec sheet

[@ElectricTeeth]

Correct, it is a comparison between each to help understand the differences between these 3 models. It can be quite difficult to understand what sets them apart from each other, hence the video. There are separate review videos available for each brush on our channel that goes into more detail on each.

[@cidvile]

Thanks, you just saved me a lot of money by convincing me to go with the 4300 over the 6100.

[@ElectricTeeth]

So pleased I could help and save you money.

[@nikko6883]

40 € ?

I liked waterpik, but they now go for 2 in 1 flosser and toothbrush. I flosse with chinese little plug that I connect to bath pipe for 7mu, easy to maintain and no hassle.

[@lucianolazaroni2870]

Hi! I bought the 5100. Do you know how can I turn on the sensor of pressure? Thank you and greetings from Argentina!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Try the following Luciano: How to turn on and off pressure sensor - Put the handle on the plugged-in charger. - Press and hold the power on/off button while the handle remains on the charger. - Keep the power on/off button pressed until you hear a series of three short beeps (after 6-7 seconds). - Release the power on/off button. - Triple tone of low-med-high means the pressure sensor feature has been activated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink green 3 times in unison to confirm activation. - Triple tone of high-med-low means the pressure sensor feature has been deactivated. The brush head replacement light and battery light will also blink amber 3 times in unison to confirm deactivation. - If you continue holding the power on/off button after the three short beeps, the activate/deactivate sequence repeats.

[@tardwrangler]

4300 is HX6800/04, 5100 is either HX6830/44 or HX6837/24

[@ABITOFTHISANDTHAT12]

Think I'll go for the 4300 then

[@bburnsga]

Nicely done, thank you so much! I'll be going with the ProtectiveClean 4300 after watching your review. Thanks again!

I love your content so muchh 🥰🥰🥰 I’m also keen on the way you answer all the questions thoroughly 🥰🥰 Please make more videos like this

[@ElectricTeeth]

Will do!, thanks for your support.

Thank you so much for clearing this up 4300 for me , love the sonicare brushes

[@richardwilson5709]

I find this verbal comparison presentation to be the most helpful presentation of the various products. It give buyers a chance to think about the products being discussed. I approve!!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks Richard. Pleased to read you found this helpful.

[@burakuysal5887]

Hello! In my country 4300 and 5100 are the same price.Which one should I pick?Do you have any suggestions?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I'd pick the 5100. You are getting more for your money. They both clean as well as each other.

[@DerWeisseKai92]

My god, I can read a Specs Table... Useful comparison would explain how useful those different modes are in comparison to having less, how good they clean, how good it feels, vibration etc...

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thank you for the feedback. This is an older video of ours and I like to think we have improved considerably in the information and insight we provide in our newer comparison videos. I appreciate this doesn't help all that much right now. Being nigh on identical models, they all clean comparably and you don't need the extra features of the 6100 for example.

[@DerWeisseKai92]

@@ElectricTeeth thanks for the nice response!

[@MottiWolkenbruch]

But the brush head with the RFID transponder is actually electronic scrap rather than household garbage and should be disposed of correspondingly, no?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Potentially Thomas. I am not sure of the exact specifics around this. Philips are introducing a recycling programme for their brush heads, so I presume they are dealing with this accordingly.

[@tritackerule]

The best is the comparation between the 4300 and 6100 ... ??? Man

[@mentos93]

Hi, i'm looking to buy a sonicare brush is it a big differce between 31000 rpm and 62000 rpm? I do have some gum problems so i wonder should i go with the slower one or just the 62000 rpm one? The model Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 3100 series or the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Great question. I have not seen a ProtectiveClean 3100 Series. There is the new 3100 Series (no ProtectiveClean in the name), is this the model you mean? I am going to assume it is. In short the difference isn't significant. However, it could have a positive impact long term. For this and because of the battery life and charging stand, I recommend the ProtectiveClean 4300 over the 3100 Series.

[@allezvenga7617]

Thanks for your sharing

[@giaphucnguyen1143]

So all 4300 ,5100,6100 have same power 62000 movements per minute?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Correct. Although how much power of the motor is used will depend on the cleaning mode.

[@lazalaza93]

Have you by any chance tested the 4500 version (HX6839/28)? I got this one instead of 4300 and wondering whether to return it. How does it compare in terms of noise?

[@ElectricTeeth]

It is a slightly different variant. Can't really fault it to be honest. In terms of noise it is the same as the 4300, 5100 & 6100 featured in this video.

[@shaclo1512]

My 4300 cam with W2 brush

[@a.m.3118]

And what about the 4500 ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The 4500 is yet another variant within this mix that complicated things further. I would generally pick the 4300 over the 4500.

[@ronakpatel9351]

Do you know that on amazon the 4300 is £59.99 and the 5100 is £73.40-£80 and the 6100 is £100-130 are these good prices?

[@ElectricTeeth]

These are pretty fair prices. It depends on what the user wants or needs. You can get cheaper, equivalent models from the likes of Oral-B, but Sonicare do have some benefits. For most people the 4300 is more than enough and the 5100 and 6100 are not necessary, unless the extra features are really desired.

[@isofinal]

Is it the same body size for both the 4300 vs 5100?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes.

[@bddale6529]

Do you know if the Diamondclean brush heads can be used on the Protectiveclean toothbrush

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes they can be.

[@slaviivanov03]

So is there a big difference between 4300 and 5100? I just bought a 4300 and I’m wondering if I’ve made a mistake.

[@ElectricTeeth]

No, barely any difference. The 4300 is a good choice. The differences are: - The ProtectiveClean 4300 has 1 cleaning mode (Clean) compared to the 3 cleaning modes (Clean, White and Gum Care) of the 5100. - The 4300 has 2 brushing intensities (Low and High) that the 5100 does not have. - The 5100 has a cleaning mode button. - The 5100 has cleaning mode icons and LEDs on the handle. - The 4300 comes with 1 x C2 Optimal Plaque Defence brush head compared to the 1 x G2 Optimal Gum Health & 1 x W2 Optimal White brush head with the 5100 (White & Light Blue variant HX6859/17 comes with just 1 x G2 Optimal Gum Health) . - The 4300 comes in 5 colour options (Black, Navy Blue, Light Blue, Pink and Deep Pink) compared to the 4 (White and Light Blue, Pastel Pink, Turquoise and Black Grey) of the 5100 - The 5100 is the more expensive model.

[@slaviivanov03]

@@ElectricTeeth Okay, thank you so much for the information. :)

[@NATOnova]

What's the difference between the 4300 and 4100?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Christian. There is not much difference. The 4100 is equivilant to the 4300, but the 4100 is sold in the USA/Canada primarily whereas the 4300 is designed for the UK/Europe. The 4100 does not come with a travel case in the box and the charging stand is suitable for USA/Canada power supply rather than the UK. The brush handles also come in slightly different colour options.

[@nayanacharya6338]

The 6100 is sub £90 on amazon right now. Would this make it a no brainier to get?

[@nayanacharya6338]

The genius 9000 is the same price. Which one do I go for

[@ElectricTeeth]

Both brushes are ones we would recommend. The Genius 9000 overall has the edge though.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

I have the 4700...

[@ElectricTeeth]

Another great option Paul. Just one we didn't cover in this video as it hadn't been launched at the time of recording.

[@jorgecastillo6271]

Hi! I just bought it yesterday. Do yo know if it can be used with the standard replacements or only with the BrushSync ones?

[@ElectricTeeth]

You can use standard replacement heads but you will not gain the benefit of the brush head replacement reminder system for example.

[@bddale6529]

Which product would you purchase if Philips Sonicare Protectiveclean 6100 was £110 or Oral B Genius 9000 was £99.99?

[@ElectricTeeth]

It would be the Genius 9000.

Amazon doing the 6100 today for £85..... reduced from £300!! Is Philips deliberately inflating it’s RRP prices?? When you look at selling prices it definitely seems so.

Ronak. The brushes we cover are mainly those available in the UK and the USA. I have not seen the 4500 available in either country as yet. Which country are you in?

[@aleksandra45]

@@ElectricTeeth Poland for example. Phillips offered to replaced my broken 4300 with 4500, not sure if I should take it! :o

[@ElectricTeeth]

It has an extra cleaning mode. It does not have a travel case. Maybe you kept that from the 4300? It's essentially an identical brush.

[@aleksandra45]

@@ElectricTeeth wow! Thank you for your prompt response 👍😀

[@kasziel]

The 4500 has the Same Model number of the 5100 (HX6830) ive got a 4500 HX6830/44 and is a 5100 with only 2 cleaning modes instead of 3 and doesn’t come with a travel case

[@d34d10ck]

What about the most important difference? The 6100 the only brush in the ProtectiveClean series that uses 62,000 rpm instead of 31,000 rpm. If it weren't for the 6100 you had to get a DiamondClean brush to get this feature.

[@ElectricTeeth]

As far as I am aware all have 62,000 movements per minute (31,000 strokes).

[@d34d10ck]

You are right. They all seem the have the same and they simply changed the definition from "strokes per minute" to "brush movements per minute" to double the number. That's why on different websites (even on Philips websites from different countries) you find different values.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes Patrick. It is quite confusing for everyone. Particularly when there is the general feeling that more = better cleaning. Technique and brushing time have a much greater impact.

[@d34d10ck]

After watching a couple more reviews on KZbin and your help i canceled my order of the ProtectiveClean and i went for the Oral B instead. Thanks for clearing a lot of things up. I'm already using the Oral B for two days now and I'm very happy with it. The reason why I changed my decision is, because i think that rotary brush heads of the Oral B should be better suited for cleaning the back of my front teeth. Other than that I think i would have been happy with both brushes.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks for the feedback Patrick, pleased to have helped you. Please do share your thoughts on the Oral-B brush after a few weeks of use. 🦷😃👍
