Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.

Is the Philips Sonicare 3100 worth buying?

Yes, if you want a sonic brush. The Philips Sonicare 3100 costs £49.64, has a pressure sensor and a 2-minute timer, and comes with a travel case. 8,107 buyers rate it 4.3.

It suits people with sensitive gums or anyone who finds a rotating head too harsh.

What does 62,000 movements a minute feel like?

Instead of spinning, the head vibrates very fast and sweeps across several teeth at once. Consequently, it feels gentler and buzzier than an Oral-B.

EasyStart also builds the power up over your first brushes, so the buzzing never feels like a shock.

What is in the box?

You get the handle, 1 C1 ProResults brush head, a charger and a travel case. When you press too hard, the handle pulses slightly, and SmarTimer with QuadPacer guides you through the 2 minutes.

Where does the Philips Sonicare 3100 fall short?

The listing does not state the battery life, and there is only 1 brush head. In addition, it costs £19.65 more than the Oral-B Pro 1, which also has a pressure sensor.

How does it compare with the Sonicare 4100 and the Oral-B Pro 1?

The Sonicare 4100 costs 35p more and adds two intensity settings and a battery light, but no travel case. Meanwhile, the Oral-B Pro 1 is £29.99 with a rotating head. If you want sonic, the 3100 is the better buy today.
