It has been combined into a comparison of the other new models in the range for the sake of a broader explanation.<\/p>\n<p>Although very similar, there are subtle differences between the old and new versions. Cleaning results are comparable. The new version has longer battery life and the battery is user-replaceable.<\/p>\n<p>The handle is a little more grippy, but gone is the USB charging stand, in preference for\u00a0a proprietary USB charging cable that connects to the base of the brush. <\/p>\n<p>I compare both in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EfralVOUNgo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to remember to replace the head every 3 months.<\/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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/best-oral-b-electric-toothbrush\/\">Oral-B<\/a>.<\/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-21.jpg\" alt=\"1100 Series held between the fingers\" class=\"wp-image-4030392\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The 1100 Series is slim and lightweight in hand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s less powerful than most sonic brushes but still cleans well<\/h3>\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&nbsp; movements of some of Sonicare's more expensive brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means the 1100 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 results are not impacted. They are most definitely comparable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does appear to make the brush quieter in use. It\u2019s audible hum is just 57 decibels. Quieter than many other sonic brushes, great if you don\u2019t want to disturb others.<\/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-11.jpg\" alt=\"Sonicare 1100 with brush head detached\" class=\"wp-image-4030387\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brush heads are interchangeable - use the style you prefer<\/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 got a 2 minute timer and pacer to help you brush evenly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you turn the 1100 Series off yourself, you haven\u2019t brushed for long enough. This is because it turns itself off automatically when the 2 minute cleaning cycle is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With average brushing times being just 45-70 seconds per day, the timer is a great motivator to brush for longer for the benefit of your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maximum benefit is gained when you brush all the tooth surfaces evenly. A pacer built into the 1100 will at 30 second intervals pause the bristle motion. Creating 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\">The timer and pacer are 2 essential features of any good electric toothbrush.<\/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-5.jpg\" alt=\"Back view of Sonicare 1100 Series\" class=\"wp-image-4030390\"\/><\/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 lacks the protection of a pressure sensor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1100 Series does not have a pressure sensor built in. This means that you are not alerted in any way should you scrub the teeth too hard as you brush. Forceful brushing will in the long term damage teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pressure sensors often don\u2019t feature in the cheapest of toothbrushes. You don\u2019t need it to brush your teeth well, but it's a dentist recommended feature. More brushes now do include them than in times past. If you know you like to brush hard and fast you should seriously consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/philips-sonicare-3100-series-review\/\">3100 Series<\/a>, which has a pressure sensor.<\/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\">Slim and stylish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve handled brushes more expensive than this that look and feel worse.<\/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 isn\u2019t a perfect cylinder, instead, there is slight squaring to the edges that makes it feel more secure in hand. Given the lack of different textured surfaces, this is welcomed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Slimmer and lighter (98g) in the palm than previous cheap Sonicare brushes it\u2019s pleasant to use and doesn\u2019t result in the same arm fatigue you might get with other heavier handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Available as a white coloured handle only the matt finish to the plastic is resistive and more pleasing to the eye than the glossy finish of many competitor's products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1100\u2019s handle is easy to keep clean and because it is water resistant, can be rinsed under the tap or used in the shower if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A firm squeeze of the handle doesn\u2019t result in any dubious sounding creaks or groans from the plastic. It feels well made and looks good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily usability is improved as the toothbrush can stand upright on a countertop and has been designed not to roll too much when laid flat.<\/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-2.jpg\" alt=\"Sonicare 1100 stood on a countertop\" class=\"wp-image-4030395\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The minimal design of the brush is 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\">The 2 week battery life is adequate but not amazing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery is sealed inside the 1100\u2019s handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philips claims 14 days of use on a single charge, but I\u2019ve been able to achieve a respectable average of 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Premium Sonicare models often deliver even better usage times, more in line with the 3-4 week average. The poorer performance here isn\u2019t a deal breaker unless you travel or are away from power regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefit is a slim handle and a battery charge notification LED. Not always available on affordable toothbrushes it gives you an alert when the brush needs charging.<\/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-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4030393\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">USB charging stand is included in the box but no USB to 2 pin power adapter<\/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\">Recharging takes a maximum of 24 hours on the supplied stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new slimmer, circular design, there is a 110cm USB cable hardwired into the stand. It doesn\u2019t have nor come supplied with a 2 pin power adapter to connect it to a shaver socket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excluded for environmental reasons, this makes it less convenient for many. Unless you source an adapter (they are not readily available), you will have to charge it from another socket in your home. You\u2019ll need to make use of a 3 pin USB adapter. You probably have one you use for your smartphone or powering other gadgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Increased versatility is enabled though as being allows the brush to be charged from a computer, battery bank or USB wall socket if you choose.<\/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-39.jpg\" alt=\"Sonicare 1100 USB charging stand\" class=\"wp-image-4030394\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An LED that provides visual feedback on remaining battery power<\/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 1100 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 1100 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-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<\/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\">Electric toothbrushes have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41415-020-1981-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">impact 11 times greater than a manual brush<\/a> on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 1100\u2019s impact is likely to be similar to the average electric brush, as it doesn\u2019t boast lots of extra resource hungry features such as RFID enabled brush heads and smart technology. 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\">Where some manufacturers now use plant based plastics, Philips heads primarily use petroleum based, thus using more of the finite resources,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Philips has partnered with schemes such as TerraCycle to recycle consumables such as heads, but using this facility isn\u2019t always easy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"conclusion\" 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\">Conclusion: simplicity at a cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are on a budget and want a toothbrush from a leading brand, the 1100 Series is a good choice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It looks good and cleans the teeth well. The main downside is the lack of a pressure sensor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019d pick the 3100 Series though.
