Product Information

The differences between these brushes is in the mode options and intensity control. We do not think modes and intensity controls matter that much in your daily brushing routine, which is why we recommend the 4300 with just a high and low intensity setting, but if you are interested in more modes then you can pay a bit more for the 4500, 5100, or 6100. 4300 If you think the range of modern electric toothbrushes available is somewhat overwhelming, you are not alone.

I would call this the sweet spot! For most, I think the travel case is most useful as it is one of those things we do not need every day, but when travelling it can be a great accessory to keep things together, protect the brush and the head and avoid accidental activation.

With the more premium Genius 9000, you get the handle, multiple brush heads, a charging stand, a brush head storage compartment, a travel case and smartphone holder. The Platinum is basically a precursor to the DiamondClean Smart series with 3 modes and 3 intensities and a pressure sensor. It also claims to connect to the app and have real-time brush coaching.

On this basis Oral-B brushes offer more cleaning modes at a cheaper price, meaning it is more cost effective for a family. Philips says that the 4300 comes with a “premium” travel case. But we found this white toothbrush coffin to be anything but premium. The plastic feels cheap and thin, and we tried so many times to put the brush handle in the box in a way so that it would not roll around, but it is impossible. There is room for two brush heads, and these snap in tight. But the handle itself just kind of rests on a little plastic depression which does not keep it in place.

If removing as many stains as possible from your teeth is your priority you should take a closer look at sonic toothbrush.
