Super Clean Teeth
The Sonicare 4500 vibrates at a very high frequency to produce an excellent clean. No need to brush or scrub or endue a rotating abrasive brush head. A little strange to begin with but now appreciate the cleaning benefits of the sonic clean after a week of use.

Not as good as other sonicare models
Have used electric toothbrushes for years but this models Gum health setting seems to be exactly the same speed as the teeth clean setting, I still love it but should have gone for a different model , my wife bought the cheaper model and you can see and feel the difference in the settings

Amazing!!! Makes sure clean everywhere & prevents gum damage
Highly recommend for anyone thinking about getting one. Love the pressure sensor for not brushing too hard, and quadrant timer to make sure I brush all areas especially if walking around while brushing teeth! Battery lasts forever (weeks) compared to my old Oral B brush
