First of all, I've only had this for one week, not enough time to write a decent review. With that being said, I have been using Sonicare brushes for years and I have always found them to be great. That is exactly what I expect from this purchase. This is my first experience with an air flosser and I found this to be a pleasant surprise. I have not been a flosser in the past because it was "too much trouble" to do on a regular basis. However, this air flosser is easy to use and not a bother. Also, it seems to do an excellent job. The toothbrush always does a thorough job and leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone.

Great quality, but frustrating vibration
This was my first Sonicare toothbrush I've used and didn't realize how different the brushing mechanism is compared to oscillating brushes like Oral-B. I'll first start with the pros and then the cons. Pros: - Great build quality and looks very professional. - Much longer lasting battery than ones I've used in the past so it would be good for longer trips. - I was surprised at how well just the vibration created the foam without having to move the toothbrush like a manual. Unfortunately there were several factors that I really did not enjoy. - I really did not like the Sonicare vibration and how it felt on my teeth. I thought I would get used to it, but after over 3 weeks of use my front top teeth still really do not like the sensation. The handle also vibrates a lot which made it not as enjoyable to hold. - I don't like how it just turns off after 2 minutes instead of a buzz/beep indicator to let you know 2 minutes has passed. I'm often not fully done and have to turn it back on, but the position of the power button makes it hard to press when your in the middle of brushing. - I wish the manual was more clear differences between models of the same toothbrush. It was difficult to tell what features mine actually has such as different power levels or charging light versus what was a higher end version. - I really wish the instructions or videos online clearly detailed how to use brush. The shape of the head is similar to a manual so I wasn't sure if you can have side to side motion as well if you're only supposed to slowly move the brush across each tooth. Overall, while this is by no means a bad toothbrush but I am not a fan of the vibration feeling and would prefer an oscillating brush instead. I also wish it allowed you to keep brushing after 2 minutes. Note: I did receive this product for free as part of a product test.

    Leaves my teeth feeling really clean.
    I like that it comes in a combo. I like the small brush because its easy to maneuver around all my teeth and it leaves my teeth feeling clean. The flosser does not have the 3 level choice of pressure as I would like, but I think its fine for the price paid.

    Dental Hygienist Beware!
    I was a bit skeptical about the Philips Sonicare DailyClean 1100 Power Toothbrush because I received it for free as part of a product test, boy was I totally wrong. After using the toothbrush for the first time I was immediately sold. The toothbrush is lightweight and easy to use. The charger is small and doesn't take up much room unlike a lot of power toothbrushes. The fact that you do not have to charge daily or even weekly is great for those of us with limited time. You charge it every two weeks. The bristles are gentle on my teeth and gums, plaque floats away and the 2-minute shut off with 30 second pauses takes the guess work out of how long you are brushing your teeth. My teeth not only looked fantastic, but they felt great – as clean as you get in a Dental Hygienist chair.

    My teeth feel a lot cleaner and healthier!
    It took some getting used to using this as I have not used an electric toothbrush for a very long time. But now that I am used to it I am very happy with it. My teeth feel a lot cleaner after using this and they feel cleaner a lot longer in the day. Sometimes using a manual brush, I would feel like I need to brush them again but with this they feel clean almost all day. It makes it much easier to get hard to reach places such as back teeth and behind front teeth. I like the timer because it keeps me brushing longer than I used to. It is a very attractive brush and the charge lasts a very long time. Only a couple of improvements that I would suggest is to package it differently as it was very hard to get out of the plastic clamshell case and also to add a grip or a different shape handhold because it slips around in your hand as it gets wet. Overall, I love this brush and my teeth are doing a lot better because of it.

    Teeth Feel Clean and Smooth After Brushing
    I received a Philips DailyClean 1100 power toothbrush FREE as part of a product test. After using the toothbrush now for about three weeks, I have found this product to be amazing! In fact, it is so easy to use, and leaves my teeth feeling so clean, that I don't feel like brushing is such a chore. It did take me a bit to get used to the tingling sensation when the toothbrush slides next to my tongue with its vibration, causing a tickling feeling. The toothbrush, when in it's charging stand, takes up very little space and looks quite sleek sitting on my vanity. It is the perfect size to hold in my hand, not too heavy, and not big and bulky. I have not found anything that I dislike about the Philips DailyClean 1100. One of my favorite features is the 2-minute shut-off, letting me know that I am getting a thorough brushing, and preventing cavities. One suggestion, per the brochure that accompanies the toothbrush, is to hold at about a 45 degree angle, and this really does work well. All in all, I love the Philips Sonicare DailyClean 1100, and found it simple to use while leaving my teeth feeling cleaner than ever!!

    Superior Clean
    I chose five stars for my review because of a few factors first ease of operation to recharge just set it on the base two how clean it got my teeth and in between them was second to none I've never had a toothbrush clean like it did three it came with a brush head cover really there is only three cons so far I've got one bristle that went rogue from the others pattern and jabs my gums while it's on I had to remove it also it has so much power don't turn it on before the brush is in your mouth or very close because depending on how much toothpaste you use it can send it flying all over there were no instructions on general care for the brush and removal of brush head instructions although I haven't needed to change it otherwise very happy

    Great toothbrush - amazing results!
    The Philips DailyClean 1100 power toothbrush has been very effective on my smile since I began use. I must admit my experience was a little funny as the very first time I used the toothbrush the included corresponding directions gave me the impression I could use it immediately without a preliminary charge - for whatever reason it didn't power up right away and, as I was in a bit of a rush to get out of the house, I actually ended up just using it manually. After a good overnight charge I followed the instructions to activate the "easy-start" feature so I could acclimate to the brush properly. I must admit after a few weeks of use the difference is undeniable, my teeth even FEEL cleaner after every brushing moreso than they ever have with a manual or any other brush and my gums no longer bleed from me applying too much pressure. There is a noticeable reduction in plaque build up that can occur in the crevices of my teeth and I even believe my "morning breath" has improved. I also attended a wedding on September 1st with my boyfriend and his cousin remarked from across the table how white my teeth looked mid-conversation in a dark reception hall - I was a bit caught off guard as I guess seeing my teeth every day I may not have noticed and admitted I hadn't had any whitening done, instead I just switched out my toothbrush to a Sonicare. My favorite feature of all has to be the 2 minute timer though, as simple as it is, it keeps me honest and I know for a fact I am going to brush for the full 2 minutes rather than estimating the duration so I feel much more confident about my overall oral health. I will continue to track my progress but I am fairly certain I will be sticking with this brush after this study ends (so long as the replacement heads are affordable) as I am so beyond thrilled with the results already! The only improvement I can think of would be the addition of some kind of germicidal UV light feature for thorough sanitation of the brush head. Thank you for allowing me to participate and having an interest in consumer feedback. *Disclaimer: I recieved this product in exchange for participation in a study but the opinions expressed in my review were not influenced and are genuinely based on my own personal experience with the Philips DailyClean 1100 thus far.

    Great Value
    I am very happy with it. You can't tell from the photo, but it has a separate base that plugs into the wall for recharging. I bought it because I am Type 1 diabetic and my gums were bothering me. I used to have a much more expensive one that worked less well!

    All i want in an electric toothbrush.
    I wanted just the quadpacer. Don't need Bluetooth in my toothbrush :-). The included brushhead is soft. If you're already a sonicare user, you'll probably want a harder one.

    This product is easy to use
    The Phillips sonicare toothbrush is very comfortable to use & has a two minute shutoff. The mild rotating brush has made my teeth look & feel cleaner than with a standard toothbrush. Thank you Sonicare

    A special thanks to my dentist
    It was my dentist that highly recommended that I purchase this tooth brush due to aging teeth and crowns and root canals. I couldn't believe how effortless this amazing product is. It's like "a hummingbird going over your teeth" ( my words ) I loved it so much, I gave it as a gift for my daughter in law's birthday. She loves it as well.

    Sonicare tooth brush
    I originally bought a new Essence model toothbrush but changed my mind and returned that and purchased a 3 Series. For a few extra bucks the 3 Series (for me) was a better one. Having previously owned 2 other Sonicare brushes I was familiar with Sonicare but the 3 Series proved it was an excellent choice for me. It has a pacer to let you know when to switch to another quadrant of your mouth. This I really like. It has a slim design that fits my hand better.

    Love these toothbrushes
    This is my second Sonicare toothbrush. My first one was the Essence. The only reason I had to get a new one is that I wore my old one out. I had it for years. I decided to try this one. It seems to be just a step up. The brush heads look as though they are cheaper for replacement. I will never go back to a manual toothbrush ever. You just don't get as good a cleaning. And, you can definitely tell the difference in brushings.

    Highly Effective Product
    The Sonicare brush is elegant in design and efficient in application. At first consideration it may not seem as if it would greatly outperform electric reciprocating toothbrushes, but that becomes obvious on first use. You aren't simply paying for the brand with this product.
