Amazon.com Review
Sonicare's Advance 4100 (previously known as the PS-1) cleans with an ultrahigh-speed motion, leaving teeth feeling sparkling fresh. Extra-soft bristles let the user apply as much pressure as desired, making the Sonicare perfect for people with sensitive teeth, braces, and implants. While proven to be as or more effective than manual brushing for removing plaque and preventing gingivitis, the Sonicare Advance is also guaranteed to remove 80% of tobacco, tea, and coffee stains in just 28 days. The Smartimer function takes the guesswork out of how long to brush by automatically shutting off the brush after two minutes. The 4100 includes one standard-size brush head, a charger base, and a handle that holds its charge for up to two weeks, making it ideal for travel. A two-year warranty covers the handle and charger against defects. --Ann Bieri

 Mine is still going strong after 6 years! November 27, 2005
92 out of 92 found this review helpful
For those complaining about short-lived units: the key to longevity with this (or any Ni-Cad battery device) is not to leave it on the charger constantly. Only use the charger after the battery is drained. Mine gets recharged maybe once every 2 weeks. Otherwise it sits in the drawer like an old-fashioned toothbrush. Another trick is to take teflon tape (used by plumbers) and seal tightly the hold-down cap of the brush head - this prevents water from rusting out the magnets under the brush head.
Excellent for Perio Disease and General Healthy Tissue October 2, 2003
31 out of 31 found this review helpful
I am a dental hygienist and have seen many results from the use of various electric brushes. Sonicare far outways its competitors especially for helping to stabilize periodontal disease in conjunction with a 2-4 month visit for perio maintenance. If the tissue is healthier with normal 'pocket depths,' then the Braun products, or manual toothbrush used with good technique are fine; but overall, they still do not leave the tissue as healthy (firm) as the Sonicare. In all cases, the areas between the teeth need regular attention, ie floss, go-betweens, proxybrushes, stimulators, or other effective tools which stimulate the gums and break down bacteria. The main ineffectiveness of the brush has NOT to do with the brush, but with its inconsistant use, or poor technique by its user. The main patient complaint I have gotten is that the brush is too vigorous for them, but those complaints are few compared to those who are pleased. Hygienist's opinions vary, so ask yours for an assessment.
Cleanest Teeth Ever! April 5, 2003

I have used this product for a week and already my teeth look and feel cleaner than they ever have. I feel like my teeth have been cleaned by the dentist. This toothbrush does what the maker claims it does. I highly recommend it. It's great!
Long lasting and great cleaning job October 23, 2005

I am on my second Sonicare and I got my first when I was pregnant with my 10 year old! Cleans great! People speak of the cost. This is cheap compared to the investment in dental work if not used. These don't even compare to a regular tooth brush. Make the investment in your teeth and you will be thankful.
Best toothbrush available!!! October 22, 2004

I compare using this toothbrush with just having my teeth cleaned by a dentist. I originally bought a Sonicare for my husband and it worked so well we bought the extra heads and we share the same base. Now he is traveling so much that I want my own base. It is several years old and still brushing very well, neither of us having any complaints. In fact, we were both so happy with the results, that I bought my father one as well. The next time my dad went for his usual cleaning, the dentist was amazed at how clean and nice looking his teeth were. As a daily coffee drinker, my dad would have bad coffee stains on the inside of the teeth, that the dentist would have to work at to remove. Since he got the Sonicare, cleanings are much more pleasant and less work. For smokers, the Sonicare will remove stains if you use it on a regular basis. It's truly amazing what this brush can do and it's worth the money. I don't think it matters which particular model of the Sonicare you get. Sure it sucks that the battery can't be replaced but if it lasts you for approx. 4 years, isn't that worth it? I proudly recommend a Sonicare to everyone.
