ProtectiveClean 6100

Absolutely love my sonicare but I've no experience with the oral B. I have a feeling you can't go wrong with either.

Just switched to electric 6 months ago after being a manual brush holdout forever. Holy shit the difference is insane. That fuzzy plaque feeling is completely gone and my teeth feel like I just left the dentist every day. I got the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 and love it

I had really bad staining from coffee and red wine, and my dentist told me to upgrade from a manual brush to an electric one. I bought the Sonicare 6100 and within a few weeks I actually noticed my teeth looking whiter. Not like Hollywood bleaching white, but definitely brighter. I think the consistency of brushing for the full two minutes (thanks to the built-in timer) made the biggest difference.

Dental hygienist here. I’ve used both types of brushes and both are great. I personally love the round head from oral b and oscillating action, HOWEVER I hate how disgusting their brushes get. They have a round opening on the handle that collects bacteria and gets gross. I am planning on switching to a Sonicare again after years of being an oral-b user. Both brushes are well research and would be solid choices though.

6100 model is $109 at the bullseye store. Edited to add I am aware the 6700 model is pictured. 6100 was closest I could find and thought it might be useful for comparison.

I get new/open box on Ebay- it's a way around supporting the big brands. I get brush head replacements on Ebay too, all sealed of course. Also SO much cheaper. Just got a Sonicare 6100 for $35 and 3 Sonicare brush heads for $12.

All I know is that I had more dental issues with Oral B but clean exams with Sonicare- I think because the Sonicare is more dummy proof for people not great with brushing. I just find it easier to use their larger brush heads. I like the gentle mode best. BUT the Sonicare is not BIFL - you'll need to replace it in 5 years or so, when it dies quietly.
