the <strong>1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series Sonicare toothbrushes<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the table and bullet point lists above have shown, the real differences between each of these models are fairly limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each brush is most certainly more similar than it is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a list of ways in which they are similar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Built-in 2 minute timer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Built-in 30 second pacer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery charge notification LED<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USB charging stand<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handle size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handle weight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Handle

handle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 minute timer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The differences between each model relate more to everyday use and helping you to get the best from your oral care routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sonicare_1100_2100_3100_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4100 Series does provide the best overall cleaning experience, as I explain in the section below.&nbsp; Its brush motor has been tuned for a more satisfying clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although all 4 models have 1 cleaning mode, known as clean, the&nbsp;2100, 3100 and 4100 do offer different brushing intensities though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the choice of 2 settings, high and low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the names imply, low is a more gentle and less vigorous brushing sensation.&nbsp; This option is ideally suited for new electric brush users or those with sensitivity in the teeth or gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The higher of the 2 intensities will theoretically provide the best cleaning results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to press the power button multiple times to switch between the modes.&nbsp; The handle will remember the last intensity used and default to this next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the tuning of the 4100\u2019s motor, its high intensity setting is more powerful than that of the 1-3000 Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t have the data to specify exactly, but, in my opinion, the low setting of the 4100 feels more like the high setting on the 1100, 2100 and 3100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Philips_Sonicare_1100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-1.jpg\" alt=\"Philips 1100 toothbrush with retail box\" class=\"wp-image-4030386\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3100 and 4100 have the pressure sensor that the other models lack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pressure sensor alerts you when you apply too much force to the teeth and gums as you brush.&nbsp; It is a feature that our dentists prefer to be present in an electric brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the sensor detects too much force, the handle vibrates with a pattern quite different from the normal vibration in the handle.&nbsp; It is difficult to ignore this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the brush head replacement light will flash, although this is nigh on impossible to actually see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will likely notice a change in the sound of the brush too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once any pressure is relieved, the vibration will stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sensor is running all the time and will activate every time you apply too much force, unless it is disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another feature of both the 3100 and 4100 is the brush head replacement reminder light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Philips_Sonicare_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-47.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4030530\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is 1 part of BrushSync technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The handle reads and tracks an RFID chip built into a compatible brush head.&nbsp; Once the recommended usage time for that head has been exceeded, the reminder light will flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The light is a way of signalling to you and me as a user that it is time to replace the bristles.&nbsp; Failing to do so can compromise the cleaning results and our teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a new head is fitted, the reminder light is essentially reset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The heads supplied do differ.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst technically these have been designed with slightly different goals in mind, they all do a good job of cleaning the teeth and removing plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest difference exists with the C2 Optimal Plaque Control head.&nbsp; It doesn\u2019t have the W profile like the SimplyClean\/ProResults.&nbsp; The clusters of bristles are configured differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t really say 1 is much better or worse than the other, just slightly different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Philips_Sonicare_1100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-15.jpg\" alt=\"Sonicare 1100 held in hand\" class=\"wp-image-4030388\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only other way in which the brushes really differ is the color of the handle and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The default colour for these is white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some white handles have a coloured power button that gives an accent to the handle.&nbsp; Others have coloured handles with white brush heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is only the black coloured handles that tend to come provided with a colour matched charging stand.&nbsp; The brush head still tends to be white though.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"clean\" class=\"wp-block-group comp-qs-2-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does one clean better than the other?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use any of these brushes twice a day, for 2 minutes each time, along with the correct brushing technique and you are going to get very good cleaning results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is a difference between the configuration of the brush motor in the 4100 Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sonicare claims that the 4100 Series removes 5 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush, whereas the likes of the 1100 removes only 3 times more plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me explain why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Philips_Sonicare_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-30.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4030527\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Series all have brush motors that offer 31,000 brush strokes per minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, the 4000 Series motor has been tuned so that the \u2018amplitude\u2019 (the distance covered or the sweep angle of the bristles) is higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In daily use, this means the brush feels more powerful and the cleaning more thorough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might not desire more power and a deeper cleaning, but based on Sonicares data this does make somewhat of a meaningful difference to your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plaque is the very reason we brush our teeth, so the more of it we can disrupt and remove the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our hands-on testing is not scientific and we don\u2019t verify the claims Sonicare makes. But, we can speak firsthand when we say the difference is noticeable, particularly when used side by side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, few will ever use side by side. And in reality, the cleaning offered by the 1000, 2000 and 3000 Series is more than sufficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have not used a power toothbrush before, the brushing sensation and experience you get will still feel more powerful than a manual toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Existing electric brush users, notably Sonicare users might well be able to feel the difference in the brushing sensation, if you pick the 1100, 2100 or 3100<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do also be aware that many existing Sonicare toothbrushes actually offer up to 62,000 movements.&nbsp; None of these models do.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Movements are only 1 part of the equation in achieving clean teeth.&nbsp; And due to the way the 4100 Series has been tuned, it is very difficult to notice the difference, even though it does exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the models compared here, the 4000 Series can potentially provide the best cleaning results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Philips_Sonicare_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4030522\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But complicating things further are the different brush heads and brushing intensities on offer across the range of models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much difference this makes is up for debate and there is a lack of reliable evidence.&nbsp; For most, it is not worth worrying about.&nbsp; More important is to brush regularly, for the right time and with the correct technique.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"price\" class=\"wp-block-group comp-qs-3-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is one better priced than the other?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but the price difference isn\u2019t as great as you might expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retail prices are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1100 - $29.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2100 - $45.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3100 - $59.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4100 - $79.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, the 1100 is the most affordable.&nbsp; This isn\u2019t too surprising given it has the least features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst the 4100 is best, it is $50 more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admittedly that is over twice the price of the 1100 Series, but given Sonicares most expensive model is $500, that isn\u2019t much of a price difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Sonicare_1100_2100_3100_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the power toothbrush market, it is quite common for the actual selling price to be a bit less than retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does vary from one seller to another and prices change at different times of the year.&nbsp; But, it is quite a discount of around 20% is often achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only exception to this is the 1100 because it is so competitively priced already. You may save a 1 or 2 dollars, but not much<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The discounted sales prices look as follows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1100 - $29.99<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2100 - $40.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3100 - $45-50<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4100 - $65<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking this into consideration the 4100 is now only $35 more expensive than the 1100, which really isn\u2019t that great when you consider the extras you are getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Philips_Sonicare_4100_Series_Electric_Toothbrush-23.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4030532\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you might have expected by now, there are added complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1000 can make use of Sonicares standard brush heads that do not have the RFID chip required for the BrushSync technology to work.&nbsp; These heads typically cost $10 per head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2000, 3000 and 4000 can though use the BrushSync enabled head which often command a premium of $3 per head, so $13 in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each can use the standard head, but you in turn lose the benefits of the brush head replacement reminder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give a benchmark, over 3 years of ownership (based on 1 user) the costs are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1100 - $140<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2100 - $150<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3100 - $193<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4100 - $208<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore if you are on a budget, the 1100 proves itself to be best value.&nbsp; Over 3 years, however, the premium for the 4100 isn\u2019t that significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Try not to let price be the primary factor in your decision.&nbsp; It could be worth waiting a little while longer to save the money, if you feel a more expensive brush will suit you better.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, as I have stated before, any of these brushes can clean the teeth well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-group conclusion-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All things considered, any of these brushes can clean the teeth better than a manual toothbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, when selecting between these 4 different series, it is the 4000\/4100 Series that is my top choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has the essential features that our in-house dentists recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It gives the most satisfying cleaning results, even if the actual cleaning differences between each are hard to determine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a good all round brush that blends performance with functionality and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those with a tighter budget, the 1100 Series is a great 2nd choice and will still provide benefits to your oral health.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We compare all the models and give our recommendation on the one to pick with explanation as to why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4028914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,64],"tags":[],"post_topic":[476,478],"class_list":["post-4026088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-comparisons","category-sonicare-comparisons","post_topic-electric-toothbrush","post_topic-sonicare-comparisons","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4026088","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4026088"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4026088\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4030392,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4026088\/revisions\/4030392"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4028914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4026088"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4026088"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4026088"},{"taxonomy":"post_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_topic?post=4026088"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
