Philips Sonicare Series 5700 review

The Series 5700 is where Philips' newer Next-Generation Sonicare Technology starts. Philips lists 62,000 bristle movements per minute and a motor that adjusts its power automatically so there is no drop in performance in harder-to-reach areas. The included C3 Premium Plaque Control head has soft, flexing sides meant to follow the contours of teeth and gums, and Philips claims 1000% more plaque removal than a manual brush and up to 100% healthier gums in two weeks. Pressure is handled by a smart optic sensor that signals with haptic vibrations rather than a sound. There are 2 brush modes and 3 intensities, enough to turn things down for sensitive gums. The suggested retail price is $79.96, with a $69.96 sale price in November 2026. You do not get an app, coaching or position tracking, which keeps the brush simple. It is the step up for people who want more than the 4100 but see no need for a display.
