At last I now know…. as I hadn’t a clue what that icon was bleeping for I thought it was telling me to charge my toothbrush but it was already showing fully charge, but now thanks to your video I now know it means change the toothbrush head 😊
Thanks for explaining I just purchased a sonicare 9900 after using the waterpik 2.0 which did a poor job of keeping my crowns clean hopefully this one is better
Thank you! This was helpful, I thought the battery was going bad. Did not know about the annoying RFI chip. I know when my brush needs changing. When it looks and feels bad. No thanks Sonicare , I do my shopping on my own time..... :)
Philips absolutely sucks with explaining their own technologies/product features but thankfully @Electric Teeth did a great job. Finally understand the brush sync. I asked Philips support just 3 days ago how does my brush handle know when I need to change my brushhead the rep replies "it's automatic" Well that was not helpful. When you explained the RFID and how each brushhead is unique and this is how the handle tracks usage and which type of brushead is installed, it makes more sense now
Oh c'mon, this is just Philips trying to get more people to spend $11 on a new brush head every 3 months ($46 for 4 heads) for the luxury of not having to press the mode select button 3 times. They have basically found a way to deter people from buying compatible heads for $3 each because Philips won't supply the RFID chip to 3rd party suppliers.
This would be perfect to prevent users from buying any other brush heads: Just lock the handle from turning on if there isn't a Philips certified tip. Basically, DRM for your toothbrush. :(
@@ElectricTeeth thanks so much. I'm glad they didn't take it to the extreme DRM levels. It'd be nice if they charged a fair price on brush heads instead. I'd be more than happy to spend a few extra bucks but they are over double the cost
In time as more models get this feature I am sure costs will fall a bit. Can't say in future they won't make only their brush heads compatible... Hopefully not.
I just replaced my brush head with a higher-end C3 model (originally had the G2) but the reminder keeps lighting up. Do I have to manually reset it or what? It isn't working like you're explaining it here
LOL the replace brush head light has turned on on my Sonicare after approximately one month and a half of use! The brush head is still ok so it's a good thing the toothbrush still works and doesn't refuse to work unless I change the brush head like some inkjet printers refuse to print unless you change the ink cartridge even though the ink cartridge might still have some ink left.
👍 understood. This would explain why the brush head reminder light has come on. The system works on the basis that most should brush for 2 minutes, twice a day, so 4 minutes per day. You are doing double this. As a brush head should be replaced on average every 3 months, your brushing time means the length of time between brush heads replacement is technically halved. So, the light has come on at about the right time. You can certainly get a bit more use out of the head, but you should consider replacing it soon as you will have worn the bristles more than the average user in that time.
Yes. Make sure the smart brush head is on the handle (it won’t work if not fitted). Place the handle in/on the charger. Press and hold the power button for up to 5 seconds. Let go of the power button when you hear 1 beep and then 2 beeps. If you see the battery indication blink white 2 times and hear 3 tones from low to high, then the feature has been activated. If you see battery indication blink white once and hear 3 tones high to low, then the feature has been deactivated.
I am thinking about buying the same model of a toothbrush as you are showing in this video. What would happen if I tried using the brush for tongue on this toothbrush which does not have the tongue mode like Diamond Clean series does? Do you need to use a different brush for every of the three modes or can you manually override the mode chosen by BrushSync and thus use one brush for all three modes?
You can use the TongeCare brush head on any cleaning mode. Nothing happens, it still works. You don't have to use a different brush head for each mode, the choice is yours. You can override the mode selected by Brushsync.
Thanks for the vid. I'm just getting the 6100 now. This feature is intended to increase their profit on replacement heads, as that is where there profit margin is best. Does the light stay on if I do not replace with a chip enabled brush?
You may well be right, but it also encourages replacement of the brush head that might be worn and potentially damaging to the tooth and gum surfaces. The light will stay on. You could always use brush heads that are not brushsync enabled.
Will (Optimal Mode) turns ON if using brush head: Premium Plaque Control [RFID] (C3) on a Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 model? ..Keep up the great work 👍 and thanks again 👍
Hasan. No brush head will automatically turn on a toothbrush. Certain brush heads will change the cleaning mode automatically, if used with the appropriate handle. If memory serves me correctly, the ProtectiveClean 4300 has a 'Clean' mode. No 'Optimal' mode. The Premium Plaque Control [RFID] (C3) I believe will pair with the standard clean mode. But, as this is the only mode available on this brush there is no option for any brush head to automatically select a different mode. i hope this helps.
@@ElectricTeeth Cheers for the reply, yeah obviously a brush head will not turn on the power on a sonicare. But your reply is informative and clear. Thanks again 👍
Can you make a video comparing all of the Sonicare brush heads? It's a little confusing. I assume that the C3, W3, G3 are all top of the line. C3 (premium) is better than C2 (optimal) for example. Also I assume that C3 is what's best suited for every day general cleaning. I wonder if there's anything called C1.
Hi Thom, They are indeed very confusing. We have plans to make a video about them, but it might be some time before before this is actually online. The 'premium' brush heads could be considered as better, but they are not drastically better. The main difference is these newere C3, W3,C3 etc are BrushSync enabled. In the meantime, you may find this helpful: www.electricteeth.co.uk/philips-sonicare-heads/ Its a written guide to the Sonicare brush heads as opposed to being in video form.
It is up to you. If you don't want to be reminded when to replace the brush head by such a light, buy a toothbrush without this tech. Many Sonicare brushes now have this as standard.
If you want to disable the brush head replacement reminder system the steps are: 1. Place the handle in the plugged-in charger. 2. Brush head replacement reminder is enabled by holding the mode/intensity button and by pressing the power button three times while on the charger. The handle will beep twice to confirm it is enabled. 3. Brush head replacement reminder is disabled by holding the mode/intensity button and by pressing the power button three times while on the charger. The handle will beep once to confirm it is disabled. You will need to turn it on again if you want the reminder in the future.
Just wondering if I use two different kinds of brush sync brush heads (such as C2 & G2) on the same handle, can the toothbrush tract both of them, or is it only able to tract one? Sometimes I like to use a different kind of brush head (example 1 kind in AM, & different 1 in PM), rather than using the same one all the time.
As far as we know both heads should be tracked independently, so you can switch between each and get the appropriate notification as and when it is time to replace the head.
My Sonicare Protective Clean 6100 doesn't pair my brush head with the recommended mode. Only for the first time and if I change it, then it will always use that mode that I chose last time.
Martin. Although the brush head has a suggested mode it should be used with, it will remember the last mode the head was active on, thus overriding this feature as it presumes you want this mode, in preference to the default mode the head is programmed to.
I would take off the brushhead to wipe cleaning inside the top brushhead holder, does it not continue the recognition anymore after that? And also i have been used 4 months I haven’t seen any of the orange warning light yet. :(😢
This is odd. Taking the head off and cleaning shouldn't cause any issues. Some brushes allow for the BrushSync reminders to be activated and deactivated. It may be worth checking they are indeed enabled. Perhaps try a new head and see if you get any warning lights and if not speak to Philips.
I just realized I bought new heads without the RFID chips in them. Now I can't get the yellow alert light to turn off... Nor can I actually use the brush... Which is odd, since it states that I should still be able to use it..
The brushhead in 2021 now STOPS working, it automatically changes the vibration frequency and will vibrate OFF the handle until it falls OFF. It literally will POP-OFF when the brush head expires.
Ok so with this explanation if you insert the used brush head on different handle, it should recognize as new head ! But try it. New handle will still say change the head. I am still confused. 😢
Interesting. I haven't tested this extensively, due to the time challenge of having heads pass the 3 month time period etc. I guess ultimately they are trying to ensure your safety by alerting you to the fact it should ideally be replaced. Of course you can override/ignore.
My brush heads have the chip clearly in them and the brush handle has the reminder. But I replaced the heads when it beeped the reminder and it just keeps telling me to change the heads. My wife and I use the same handle, but not the same heads. How long do I have to wait for it to realise that both heads have been changed?
@@ElectricTeeth Yes quite! For the last week or so the orange light has blinked every time you move the handle. Today it gave the full reminder again of vibrating and flashing.
You can reset it. To activate/disable the brush head replacement reminders on BrushSync enabled handles: - Make sure the smart brush head is on the handle (it won’t work if not fitted). - Place the handle in/on the charger. - Press and hold the power button for up to 5 seconds. - Let go of the power button when you hear 1 beep and then 2 beeps. - If you see the battery indication blink white 2 times and hear 3 tones from low to high, then the feature has been activated. - If you see battery indication blink white once and hear 3 tones high to low, then the feature has been deactivated.
@@ElectricTeeth OK, I got one beep, (did not notice the second beep) and the three tones going upwards. I will see what it does next time I use it. If necessary I will try again. Many thanks for giving me this information.
It is the Sonicare 6100 ProtectiveClean from Philips. Reviews available below: USA - th-cam.com/video/qWVSUIfeX6w/w-d-xo.html UK - th-cam.com/video/aC9uEG90zDA/w-d-xo.html
I believe it should have done Tom. ad you previously fitted the head and maybe changed the mode? Had you set a specific oral health goal within the smartphone app?
how do i know this feature is on? will the green light turn on every time i use the brush or do i have to wait until it’s been about 3 months to see a light? i’m not completely sure if the feature is on.
Liza. If you are using a BrushSync compatible head and BrushSync enabled handle, it is on by default, and the amber/yellow light on the handle will light up at around 3 months when the brush head ideally needs replacement. I suspect you have already connected the brush head to the handle, but the first time you connect a new head to the handle, the light will flash to alert you that it has detected the new brush head and is now tracking it. On select models, such as the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart there is Bluetooth connectivity, which shows the number of times a brush head has been used within the smartphone app as another confirmation it is working.
No John, it will not. Each head has a unique identifier, so it know it has been used before. The only catch would be if you attach a partially worn/used brush head to a new handle. In this instance, the handle would treat it as a new head because it will not have previously connected to or tracked that head.
Although there are 'ideal' brush heads for each mode, you certainly do not have to buy a specific brush head for each mode. It is perfectly fine to use 1 style of brush head on all 3 modes.
I've no idea how to select one. there's so many different product numbers. how to know which toothbrushes have brushsync? all the ones with an app have it? no? so confusing
Yes indeed it is. Many Sonicare brushes now have it. Do you want both the brush head reminder and the mode pairing? Our top pick from Sonicare is the ProtectiveClean 4100 or 4300 (subject to your location). The 4100/4300 has the brush head replacement reminder system. It is a great affordable toothbrush.
@@ElectricTeeth I've learned that only the 9900 has senseiq. It's dam expensive. the 4100 has no features that others do. the tracking feature is really good. I know you think it's not worth it but for me it's great
Although it is giving you the alert, does the toothbrush actually run out of power entirely shortly after the 2 days? Or is it actually continuing to work for a lot longer just giving the low battery alert sooner than it should? A possible fix is to let the battery discharge completely, so it no longer turns on. Then recharge it fully.
@@ElectricTeeth thank you for your reply. No it did not run out of battery after 2 days, it just gave an alert to charge it. now im charging it and it is taking so long to fully charge it. no way to reset it? thank you.
Ok thank for the info. I would have a go at discharging the battery completely. To the point it won't turn on. Recharge it fully. Then see how it performs.
It is an older style of brush head and has not been updated to include such. Other brush heads achieve similar results. The lack of chip allows it to typically be a more affordable brush head, particularly for those who are not using a BrushSync enabled handle.
It shouldn't do. Each brush head has an RFID chip in it with a unique identifier, so it should in theory keep track of each individual head, so you and your wife will get alerts at different times based on your usage etc.
It's cool how they will provide these wasteful gimmicks nobody asked for but will absolutely not upgrade the water resistance on this electronic product that finds itself in water daily, so that it can break and make you buy a new one. Capitalist innovation at its finest.
This video answered my questions and is actually informative, unlike the Philips ones. Thank you!
Pleased you found it helpful Santiago.😀

It shouldn't do. Each brush head has an RFID chip in it with a unique identifier, so it should in theory keep track of each individual head, so you and your wife will get alerts at different times based on your usage etc.
