Philips HX7403 Toothbrush

I was introduced to Philips Sonic Toothbrush about 25 years ago by my sister and I have not looked back since. My dental and oral health has improved tremendously to the extent my Dentist and Hygienist complement at every visit on the state of my teeth and gums. I am so impressed I have bought a number of sonic toothbrushes for my entire family, near and extended. We are all sporting a dazzling smile now. There are other pretenders on the market, but they can't hold a candle to Phillips products.

The 6100 is a good toothbrush and fairly simple to operate and change the intensity settings, should you need to do so. It does automatically set the cleaning type if you use the genuine Philips Sonicare heads, but again, this is easy to change (when on the charging base) if you wanted. With my manual toothbrush my gums were starting to bleed, but not with this Philips toothbrush - I chose the S2 sensitive heads to get used to it. The included travel case (model dependant) is not real quality, but it does protect the toothbrush & heads when traveling.

This tooth brush is fantastic. I’ve used electric toothbrush’s in the past and found them to harsh so keep going back to a manual. That won’t be the case this time! This tooth brush has multiple settings to choose from allowing me to choose how gentle I want the brushing process to be. I suffer with my gums and I feel this tooth brush has helped me brush my gums effectively without the pain! There’s a light and vibration of the tooth brush senses your pressing to hard which is great.

The tooth brush leaves my mouth feeling incredibly clean and fresh and I’ve used my manual a few times during the trial period and it’s just not the same clean feeling after!

The tooth brush is very ergonomic and quite when in use and clearly indicates when it’s charging.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having suffered for many years with sensitive gums and a mild receding gum line due to hard brushing, I have tried many different toothbrushes to balance a good clean with gentle brushing to gums. I eventually settled on a sensitive manual even though this doesn't give a through clean. Having tried Philips Sonic for a month now, I haven't felt the uncomfortable feeling on my gum line from hard bushing. I've also noticed that whilst gentle, my teeth feel extremely clean and smooth after brushing.

It took a couple of days to adjust to this brush as I found it initially incredibly tickly due to the vibrations and a little messier as it produces lots of bubbles. I've not become used to this.

The brush benefits from a timer to enable you to section your mouth to ensure all teeth are given the same attention, moving to a different section after the allocated brush time. I've found this useful as previously I would drift into focussing on the back molars.

The brush has a variety of settings. Whilst I prefer a sensitive toothbrush, I've found that the clean setting on medium is the optimum for my needs. I was worried that I would accidentally press the buttons whilst using but it seems well designed and this hasn't happened.

The battery is long-lasting and benefits from USB charging which is great for travelling.

The toothbrush head is easy to keep clean and hygienic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m 35 and this was my first electric blanket tooth brush, I think it’s great! Very powerful, two settings for sensitive and other clean. Also 3 speed settings, the toothbrush is fab, comes with charger and a case to put it away and keep the head of the tooth brush clean. My daughter is obsessed and now wants one for Christmas. She had a great time unboxing it and trying out all the different settings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how the toothbrush has a setting where the toothbrush lights up if you’re pressing too hard. There is also a setting where you can chose to change the toothbrush between a clean or sensitive mode as well as different speeds. The bristles on the brush are also very soft and haven’t caused me any gum pain. I have loved using this toothbrush so far and would thoroughly recommend it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been testing the Philips 6100 HX7406/02 Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush, and I’m really impressed! It leaves my teeth feeling incredibly fresh and super clean after every use. The brush is easy to handle, and the different cleaning modes are a great bonus. The battery life is excellent, I’ve only had to charge it once since I started using it. The only downside is that the replacement heads can be a bit pricey, but honestly, the results are worth it. If you’re considering upgrading your toothbrush, I’d definitely recommend this one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teeth feel so much cleaner compared to my old manual toothbrush even after first use. The charging base is USB which makes charging more convenient. Comes with a compact case for storage. Has a sensitive setting with 3 speeds as well as normal clean again with 3 speeds.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have dabble with electronic toothbrush before and found them hard to use although this was coca 15 years ago so was happy to try the Philips Sonicare. Any poor preconceptions where completely unfounded, this toothbrush is fantastic and I am converted after using a manual toothbrush for over 40 years. The toothbrushes design is sleek and light. Love the white / blue colours too. The range it has is amazing. I usually have to use a manual soft toothbrush and have been known (and told off by my dentist) for brushing too hard. With the Philips Sonicare I am finding that I no longer am brushing too hard and even had to push on the brush with my hand to see that the pressure sensor was working (it was and had an obvious purple flash if you did). I also am really impressed with the BrushPacer which has little pauses so you know to move onto the next section of teeth to clean. Also has a SmarTimer which turns off the toothbrush once 2 minutes is up. You can turn these features off if you want but I will be keeping them as they are really helpful for me. There are two modes “clean” and “sensitive” I am using clean and the lowest intensity which suits me. I will try the higher intensities once I have used it for a bit longer (and as suggested in the guide). Battery life is great and I have only charged it when originally received (over 2 weeks ago) and still showing with two lights on the charging picture. That in itself is great as I know other people’s toothbrushes just run out of battery without warning which is super annoying whilst mid brush. Overall super impressed and will not be returning to the manual toothbrush!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved this product, exceeded my expectations. It came packaged in a box containing the toothbrush main body, 1 head, the USB charger (no plug) and the travel case. All these individually wrapped in paper, all recyclable.

It was easy to start using it, I have added the head to the main body , charged the toothbrush by placing it on its holder and connecting to a USB plug for about 6 hours, then it's all ready to go.

The head is small but very effective and it means I could reach parts of my teeth which wasn't previously able to using my manual brush. It has 2 different settings, sensitive and clean and for each one 3 intensities. Also a pressure sensor, if you do apply too much pressure when brushing the bottom of the brush will light up.

The battery lasts a good 2 weeks and there is a battery charge indicator at the bottom of the main body.

I felt my teeth were very clean and felt nice after using it, the main indicator will be my dentists feedback when I will visit next time.

Overall, I believe this brush offers a great cleaning of the teeth and gums, it felt gentle on the gums and suited my mouth.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their oral hygiene.
