Both models are excellent, and the reviewer above prefers the newer "4100 Power" model. I prefer the older ProtectiveClean version.
Looks like the main differences are:
1) the new model has fewer brush movements per minute (only 31,000 vs 62,000).
2) the new model is slimmer and lighter (3.4 oz vs 4.6 oz)
3) the new model has high & low speed, while the old model has one speed (high).
4) the new model requires a standard USB-plug adapter that is not included, while the old model includes a plug.
5) the new model appears to have more color options

Target and Amazon have it for the same price. More colors available at Target.
I don't think those are the same models as this one is called "Protective Clean" which is the older one that includes a wall charger while the others only include usb cable. Also, many claim these are "superior" than those newer models as the handles are thicker and longer battery life.

According to other thread the older ProtectiveClean 4100 offers a powerful 62,000 movements per minute, which translates to an equivalent of 31,000 brush strokes.
Ordered and got 3 for the whole family and received it from the previous BB deal.
Now it sits unpacked cause the previous thread made me think about issues like gum recess.
All in all after reading on the subject, returning mine back unopened in a sealed shipping box.
I mean manual way worked for me for 25+ years and I do not see it failing anytime soon.
This(electric) needs proper technique of using and some healthy gums. Nothing against a deal or product, just for your information.
Text comparison said the slower one's stroke was longer than the faster one's. That changes the comparison. Also, don't know whether the new battery is prevented from draining as deeply as old one to extend longevity. That would counter assumption that capacity determines longevity

I keep seeing these topics and there is never a consensus whether the old or new model is betterI guess I'm going to stick to manual brushing with Colgate for now

Regardless of which one is better. They are way better than a manual brush. Just flip a coin and get one. You will love it! Feels like you go to the dentist every time you brush your teeth super clean and smooth!
I use the old style E series. And it's amazing. I am thinking about buying this one but I am not sure if it's an upgrade or not. I might just buy to see because it's only. 10 dollars more than replacement brush heads so idc

Absolutely true, you realize your mouth never felt that clean with a manual brush. When I was looking at them there's basically a jump from "3x" to "7x" more plaque removal in the $30-$50 over the $20 or under range and despite the supposed power differences these are both 7x.
I got this model over the new one and I'll say this about it. Battery life is supposed to go solid green > blinking green > blinking orange before dying but I have yet to see anything past blinking green before it dies. If the pressure sensor is working I absolutely cannot tell a difference. This one might be on me being stupid, because I have only paid tangential attention, but I am pretty sure the timer is supposed to be 30s x4 and the first section is definitely shorter than 30s.
I have the older, larger one and my wife has the newer, smaller one. Recently, I put my brush head on hers to check it out and hers did not seem to brush as strongly as mine. I'm sure it doesn't make much, if any, difference in the long run but just a data point.
