4235 020 35691 specifications

The Sonicare 4235 020 35691 is a state-of-the-art electric toothbrush designed to enhance oral health through advanced technology and user-friendly features. This model exemplifies Philips Sonicare's commitment to delivering an exceptional brushing experience that combines effectiveness and convenience.

One of the standout features of the Sonicare 4235 is its patented Sonic Technology, which utilizes a dynamic cleaning action powered by high-frequency brush movements. This technology generates up to 62,000 brush strokes per minute, effectively removing plaque and improving gum health. Unlike traditional manual toothbrushes, Sonicare toothbrushes cleanse not only the surface of the teeth but also facilitate fluid dynamics that help dislodge debris from hard-to-reach areas.

The design of the Sonicare 4235 emphasizes ergonomic comfort and ease of use. The handle is crafted for a comfortable grip, allowing users to maintain control during brushing. Additionally, this model is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts the user if too much pressure is applied while brushing, helping prevent potential damage to gums and enamel.

Another significant characteristic of the Sonicare 4235 is its Smart Timer feature, which encourages users to brush for the dentist-recommended two minutes. The toothbrush automatically shuts off after this duration, ensuring that thorough brushing is achieved every time. Furthermore, the quad-pacer feature helps users adhere to the recommended brushing time by providing a gentle reminder to switch to different sections of the mouth every 30 seconds.

The Sonicare 4235 offers multiple brushing modes tailored to various needs. These modes include a standard clean mode for effective daily brushing, a gum care mode for gentle cleaning, and a sensitive mode designed for individuals with delicate gums. This versatility allows users to customize their oral care routine based on personal preferences and dental needs.

Moreover, the toothbrush includes a long-lasting rechargeable battery, providing weeks of usage on a single charge. This feature is particularly beneficial for travelers or those who prefer the convenience of a portable oral care solution.

In summary, the Sonicare 4235 020 35691 combines powerful cleaning technology with intuitive features, promoting improved oral hygiene. Its ergonomic design, multiple brushing modes, and user-friendly functionalities make it a preferred choice for those looking to elevate their daily dental care routine. With Sonicare, users can achieve a brighter smile and healthier gums.
