ProtectiveClean 4500 Sonic electric toothbrush (HX6827/11, HX6829/82, HX6829/30, etc.)

Took some searching because it doesn’t say on it, but it’s the sonicare protectivecare 4500. I got it on sale.

I just bought this. Do you still like it? The glass seems interesting but I dunno. My 6000 broke and my fiancée’s 4500 seemed worse than manual brushing. So upgraded both of ours. Soooo many bells and whistles i’m not into; but the bad experience going down in model sent me up in model. Can’t really tell if it’s perception.

Every sonicard that I've bought has broken down within 2 years. They are good but definitely not BIFL.

I’m a dental hygienist. You do not need a $380 electric TB. I do love a Sonicare but the ability of a toothbrush to light up and connect to Bluetooth in no way helps with oral hygiene. There’s a Sonicare protective clean on Amazon for like $70 or a Sonicare 4100 for $40. Those would both be great options on a budget

Get not the cheapest nor the most expensive model of Sonicare. It’s around $80 and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the $200 one. It’s the protective clean line. The cheapest ones have a crappy motor. 

We had Sonicare and, despite looking like Kanye's toothbrush (with all the rose gold acents), it doesn't clean as well as the Oral-B's we've had since. This was confirmed by my dental hygienist.

My Sonicare with travel case (with integrated charger) is by far the best electric toothbrush I have ever used. Came here to say this.

Not bulky, no. And the built in charger is a blessing.
