1 / 7Philips Sonicare 2100 Series Electric Toothbrush HX4021/01
Electric: The Philips Sonicare 2100 Series HX4021/01 is a rechargeable sonic toothbrush with two intensity settings, a gradual-start feature and timed brushing prompts. Its listed 14-day battery life is based on regular brushing, while an inconsistency between the model name and stated included toothbrush series means the selected listing’s bundle is worth checking.
At a glance
- Choose between Medium and Low intensity, with EasyStart gradually increasing brushing power over the first 14 cleans.
- BrushPacer prompts a change of area every 30 seconds, and SmarTimer indicates when a two-minute session is complete.
- The listing claims up to 14 days of regular brushing per full charge. The description specifies standard mode and two minutes of brushing twice daily.
- The manufacturer claims 31,000 bristle movements and up to three times more plaque removal than a manual toothbrush with the Intercare head. These are product claims, not independent measurements.
