If the 5300 costs less than the 5100 plus two heads, buy the 5300. If it costs more, buy the 5100. That is the entire decision tree. Do not spend another minute weighing these two models on any other dimension.

At the time of recording, the series 5300 is my top recommended Sonic Air model for those in the UK and Central Europe. But all things considered, Suriri 2.0 takes the edge. This is because of the material choices, the included charging travel case, and environmental pledges. Let me run through the differences in a bit more detail.

I noticed that Philips is running a cashback promotion, so I can buy the HX3792/11 toothbrush for nearly the price of the 5300 model. However, I noticed that the more expensive HX3792/11 model has half the strokes per minute of the 5300.
