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.
Philips Sonicare 6100. Prije toga godinama curaprox. Ne bih se vratila na obicnu vise nikad. Glave se daju nac dosta povoljnije na amazonu. Isplati se svaki €
I’ve never heard of this issue. I’m on my second sonicare after upgrading to the 6100. It’s a great device and I have never had any issues.
Got a 6100 model last year. Great toothbrush, def upped the game from manual brushing
