I bought mine back in July for $30 from Philips and I've been really happy with it.
I tried using a sonicare toothbrush 15 years ago and I hated it and went back to a manual brush after a few weeks but with the new one I got used to it in less than a week.
The 4100 has a lot of nice features for the money (2 vibration speeds, pressure sensor to let you know when you're brushing too hard, 30 second timer for each quadrant of your mouth, etc. ) and the low setting feels gentle enough to not bother my somewhat sensitive teeth and gums.
Battery life is excellent, I usually charge it once a week or so but I've gone over 2 weeks and haven't even seen the low battery light come on.
If you're thinking of trying an electric toothbrush I'd definitely recommend this one.
The more expensive ones may last longer and have more features but I don't think it's worth the investment.
For under $30 you get a toothbrush that will last at least 2-3 years or more vs a $100+ toothbrush that might last 10 or so years.

And anything is bad for your teeth if you don't use it properly. It's actually quite easy to brush too hard with a manual toothbrush.
The terrible thing is that this issue has been known for many year across different models, but Philips willfully chooses not to fix it. Instead, it seems like they're willing to roll the dice that it happens outside of warranty and that will make you buy a new toothbrush instead.

I haven't seen any fail yet. We ended up replacing because Philips changed the brush-head design, and it was getting more expensive to get the old brush head type.
I don't know what people are doing to their toothbrushes to make them fail. Are they using them to clean the whole house?
