You can save \u00a33-4 per head on average.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want a sonic toothbrush and your budget can be stretched a little further it\u2019s worth considering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/philips-sonicare-3100-series-review\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/philips-sonicare-4100-series-review\/\">3100 Series<\/a>, which is our recommendation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/best-electric-toothbrush\/#best-budget\">the best budget Sonicare brush<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-26.jpg\" alt=\"Blue Sonicare 2100 Series stood next to retail box\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 2100 comes in a number of colour options including blue<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simple to use with a slim and minimal design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2100 feels surprisingly premium despite the affordable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Durable and quality feeling in the hand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is slimmer and lighter in the palm than previous cheap Sonicare brushes and it looks more appealing too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available in 3 colours, white, sugar rose (pink) and light blue the water resistant plastic handle has a slightly squared design to it. This helps give a secure in hand feel and allows the palm to grip the brush better given the lack of textured surfaces on the handle itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The matt finish to the plastic looks smart and there is a distinct lack of gloss finishes, which can make a brush look cheap. Aesthetically, it looks better than comparable Oral-B models in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Able to stand upright on a countertop, the brush shouldn\u2019t roll easily when laid flat thanks to 2 raised mouldings on the back of the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Squeezing the handle doesn\u2019t result in any dubious sounding creaks or groans from the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minimal design looks good and does make it easier to keep clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-3.jpg\" alt=\"Sonicare 2100 Series held in the hand\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Slim in hand, it lacks textured surfaces but the matt finish is surprisingly resistive<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The power button gives a nice clicky feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colour matched to the handle of the 2100, the concave shaped power button doesn\u2019t stand out quite like it does on other models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a rubber finish and power icon embossed, it is easily detected by the fingertip and when pressed gives reassuring feedback whilst producing a clicky sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn\u2019t very firm, great if you suffer from arthritis and painful joints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-14.jpg\" alt=\"Close up on the single power button of the Philips 2100 Series electric toothbrush\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A single power button is simple to use with good feedback <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 cleaning mode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good oral care routines don\u2019t need to be complicated and the 2100 helps by offering just 1 cleaning mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single press of the power button is all that is needed to get brushing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite popular belief that additional modes bring extra benefits, rarely do they. For the vast majority of users, 1 mode is more than sufficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 minute timer and pacer encourage even brushing of the teeth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brushing time and technique are more important in achieving clean teeth than any particular brush. Therefore the 2 minute timer built into the 2100 Series is very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you turn the brush off yourself, you haven\u2019t brushed for long enough. It turns itself off automatically at the end of a cleaning cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 of the 3 features our in-house dentists recommend, the 2nd is a pacer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encouraging you to brush all the teeth evenly, the 2100 will, at 30 second intervals pause the bristle motion. It creates a change in sound and brushing sensation. This is your cue to move between the 4 sections of the mouth until all have been brushed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brushing the inner, outer and biting surfaces of the teeth is vitally important. Don\u2019t spend 2 minutes brushing only the front teeth you see when you smile.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The lack of pressure sensor is the main downside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No pressure sensor built into the 2100 Series is my main complaint. It\u2019s the 3rd feature dentists recommend be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need it to brush your teeth well, but it can help prevent you from damaging the teeth by brushing them too hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scrubbing doesn\u2019t clean the teeth better. It will, in time, wear the teeth and gums. If you know you\u2019re an aggressive brusher, pick the 3100 Series instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-24.jpg\" alt=\"2100 Series handle stood on a desktop\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clean and minimal design to the brush handle makes it easy to keep clean<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s less powerful than most sonic brushes but still cleans well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The motor that moves the bristles of the brush head is tuned differently to the motors found in premium Sonicare models. It doesn\u2019t achieve the 62,000 movements of some of Sonicare's more expensive brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means the 2100 doesn\u2019t offer quite the same intensity and deep clean feeling when in use. But, unless you have used a Sonicare toothbrush before, you\u2019d have no reason to question it. The sonic vibrations give a thorough and clean feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cleaning are definitely comparable to more powerful brushes and are perfectly satisfactory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-30.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of the ProResults brush head found on the 2100 Series\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brush heads are interchangeable - choose the style that suits you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The C1 ProResults brush head does a good job of cleaning all over the tooth surface and along the gumline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/philips-sonicare-heads\/\">Different styles of Sonicare brush heads<\/a> are available and compatible with the 2100 Series. You\u2019ve got a choice if you desire such, but the ProResults is one of our preferences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a small mouth, a sonic toothbrush might not be right for you. The oval heads tend to be larger than the oscillating-rotating counterparts from Oral-B.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Satisfactory 2 week battery life on a full charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17 days is the average usage time I\u2019ve achieved with the 2100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few days longer than the 14 claimed by Sonicare, this is perfectly satisfactory. Yet, the performance of the rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery is below the market average of 3-4 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The slimmer profile likely has a bearing but isn\u2019t necessarily justification alone. Other slim handled brushes outperform here, but they may cost more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An LED in the handle of the brush changes colour and flashes to give feedback on the remaining charge. This is very valuable in daily use. Previous affordable Sonicare models have lacked such.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-11.jpg\" alt=\"2100 Series stood on charging stand\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The USB cable is hardwired into the charging stand and can't be detached<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">USB charging makes it more difficult for some<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The included charging stand is different from what existing Sonicare toothbrush users might be used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is now smaller and lighter with a circular design. A 110cm USB cable is hardwired into it rather than a 2 pin power adapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A protuberance on the top still exists to fit into the base of the handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking up to 24 hours to charge the brush, the stand is more travel friendly. But, it poses an issue if you want to charge in your bathroom. No 2 pin USB power adapter is provided. It\u2019s excluded for environmental reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unless you source an adapter (they are not readily available), you will have to charge it from another socket in your home. Most of us now have USB to 3 pin adapters that can be used. Your smartphone or other tech gadgets likely came with one. Or because it has a USB connector, you can take advantage of powering it from more sources such as a computer or portable battery bank.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-40.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of LED and charging stand for 2100 Series toothbrush\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An LED gives feedback on the remaining power in the battery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 year warranty included as standard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An industry average 2 year warranty against defects and workmanship is provided. It\u2019s not quite as good as the up to 3 years Oral-B offers with their brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget brushes like the 2100 can often come with compromises. Thankfully reliability doesn\u2019t appear to be one that applies. It seems well built with no reason to suggest it wouldn\u2019t last a good few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Disappointingly, in an era where environmental impact is important, the 2100 has no serviceable parts. There is no ability to undertake a repair without rendering it useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/Philips_Sonicare_2100_Electric_Toothbrush-25.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Environmental impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t know the exact environmental impact of the 2100, the data isn\u2019t available. However, as a general rule, electric toothbrushes have an impact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41415-020-1981-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">11 times greater<\/a> than a manual brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the lack of unnecessary extras, the 2100\u2019s impact shouldn\u2019t be much different to the average brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn\u2019t have smart features or use Sonicare\u2019s RFID enabled brush heads that use more of the planet's resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Impact is further reduced by excluding a 2 pin power adapter. But at odds with this is the lack of repairability and the fact that the handle and stand come wrapped in plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to product listings on the Sonicare website, some of its brush heads are now made from 70% bio-based plastic. Although it's still plastic, bio-based alternatives are preferable to petroleum-based plastics as they make use of renewable resources instead of finite ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously Sonicare had partnered with Terracycle for recycling brush heads, but this has now been discontinued.
