I was sceptical 10 years ago when my dentist said get an electric tooth brush they are better than manual, but after having had a number of different brands and models I'm a convert.After two weeks use I'm impressed by the cleaning on this brush, it does feel like you just had a clean from the dental hygienist. However in two weeks it's not been possible to evaluate all the different modes to give an indication if they are good or not.Details of the features and pros/cons below:InstructionsThe product comes with quite a lot of paper, many warnings but not much in the way of comprehensive instructions. I checked the Philips web site there was much marketing material but I found no further instructions their either.So many warnings including: don't use in the bath or shower, replace the brush head within 3 months or sooner if worn, don't put the brush heads in the dishwasher, if your tooth brush contains peroxide, baking powder or bicarb wash the head thoroughly to prevent cracking of the plastic. Is that the head or the handle not clear? Check with your physician if you have a pacemaker before use..........There's a quick start guide for modelsHX9383/43/33 the model sent for review is HX9331/04! Having checked the Philips web site there are many models with pink and black handles. The guide seems to cover the brush sent, however it shows two alternate bases and only one is supplied which I found a bit confusing.ChargingThe brush can be charged in two ways. The primary charger connects to the mains (two pin plug fine if you have a shaver socket buy an adapter if you don't). and instead of a plastic base to hold the brush it sits in a specially provided glass! It quite large and if you don't want to use the glass then its taking up a lot of space between charges. Also is you break the glass you are left with the second charging method, the storage case to use instead. A rigid storage case is supplied which fits the handle and one brush head, it has a small micro usb charger cable with 2 pin plug adapter (the old style angled USB connector, not the rounded micro USB used on many current phones and tablets). However this does mean you might use a three pin USB plug or charge via a pc when away and not need a 2 pin socket adapter. (I've not checked with an electrician that this is ok for this device)The brush takes 24 hours for first charge, then the manufacturer says it should stay charged for 3 weeks. So far it has lasted 2 weeks, and is not yet showing any signs of slowing down. This is really useful as you could go away and not need to take a charger with you.CleaningThe tooth brush head is similar to a manual one hence the name diamond. The bristles are quite soft, so good for sensitive teeth or users with braces. It cleaned the front and back of the teeth very well, and was surprisingly good on molars. However if you eat some thing really gooey which sticks in your molars a brush with a firmer bristle and a rotating head may be a better option.The tooth brush has 5 setting clean, white, gum care, polish and sensitive. These are selected by repeated pressing of the on/off button, the brush cycles through each setting and the handle lights of with the name of the setting selected. This is an improvement on other makes where different settings are only indicated by a colour change on the handle and you have to remember which is which. Depending upon the setting chosen the brush runs for a timed cycle and pauses. For example the clean setting runs for 2 mins pausing every 30s so the brush can be moved around the mouth to get an even clean. You can stop and restart to brush during a cycle. I cant work out why some times you press stop and it restarts on the same setting an on other occasions it moves onto the next setting in the cycle? This can make it a bit messy, press the button to get the setting you want then add toothpaste and turn on in your mouth, but some times it moves to the next setting so cycle round to get back to where you wanted to be. Take the brush out of your mouth at your peril, I covered my self and the mirror with tooth paste by making this mistake!The toothbrush is taller than other manufacturers models, the handle is quite long, it has a pleasing sooth finish however the is no ribbed or textured part, and this might not make the brush a good option for those with poor grip.Having used many electric toothbrushes I didn't find the vibrating action a problem, but I can see why some would find it tickly. It is possible to change the settings on initial use to reduce the vibration which then slowly builds up over a 2 week time period. This feature was not evaluated.The Philips Diamond Sonicare is a premium product, and at the time of launch on Amazon it's a premium price also, I was expecting a diamond or two in the handle at least! You could buy a washing machine for the same money. Two weeks later the price has dropped by 1/3 but its still very expensive compared to other electric toothbrushes. The model tried is only supplied with one brush head although other models are supplied with two one more replacement heads. Like other electric tooth brushes the heads are also not cheap either.Based on cleaning performance alone, this is the best brush I've tried and so is recommended.

There's a lot of good reviews already for this brush, so I will try to mention a few points that are not so well discussed in the previous comments.First, it's expensive, and that coming from someone who always buys this on special deals, like Deal of the Day. It's good, but not >£100 good! Maybe if it would have some phone app that would tell you how well you are brushing and remind you if you forget to do it (I know, I know, what's the point? and besides it potentially contradicts my points below about complicating what should be an uncomplicated process plus it creates another failure point for a product that, as I mention below,is prone to failing already - my point is just that at this price point - the full retail price - I would expect something more).Second, as at least one reviewer mentions, it fails too much for a product at this price range. As also mentioned, between amazon excellent customer services and the great product warranty from Philips, this usually gets sorted. But it's annoying and you sill have to waste time get it replaced, hunting for your warranty papers, etc. I appreciate this is quite a "tech" product (yes, really - it's a toothbrush, but there's a lot of technology in it - waterproof, Sonicare, wireless charging, re-chargeable batteries, etc.) and the more at the edge the technology, the more it's bound to fail, but do keep that in mind when buying this product and be ready to accept that it might just fail on you.Third, while some people might get impressed with all the brushing options (polish, deep clean, etc.) I am 100% sure that a) they do nothing more than a simple brushing option would and are thus just a marketing gimmick b) it adds to the options of failure (see above) and needlessly complicates something should be simpler.Then, a couple of points of the charging travelling case, one of the best features of this toothbrush, and yet, one that leaves me thinking that it could so easily have been done better. As I said, it's a great idea. I used to have another (expensive) toothbrush from a competitor company and that one too came with a travelling case; unfortunately, it was just that: a plastic case. Better than nothing, of course, as it kept the brush hygienically clean and safe from being squashed or broken while on the move in the middle of all your other suitcase belonging. Philips ingeniously improved on that by (besides making the travel case more more classy ergonomic) making the travel case a chargeable "station" for the brush! And it works by USB! Genius, and oh, so useful and practical! So, after all that raving about the travel case, here's my negatives: it can only transport the handle and 2 brushes. There is space on the case, but you cannot put anything else in it. What else might I want to put in there? I would LOVE if I could put a small toothpaste tube in it, even if it was the tiny ones they give you on airplanes! There's space in the case that Philips could use to "sculpt" a cavity to put something like a small toothpaste tube, but even if there wasn't, I would gladly give up one of the toothbrushes' spaces to have instead a small space for a toothpaste. Yes, I know, many people need more toothbrushes, maybe even more than 2, and so they would disagree, so maybe this is not a negative at all to you, but from my point of view, it's certainly an area it could be improved.More likely to affect most people is the charging cable for the travel case: there are, in my opinion, two problems with it, that could potentially be solved by a single change: 1) the USB connector is not the same type (Micro-B) that is used to charge most of our gadgets, such as mobile phones (it's either a Mini-B or (hopefully not) a proprietary connector). That means you have to (remember to) carry a separate cable to charge the toothbrush. On a recent trip we brought a very similar cable by mistake (one with a standard Micro-B, in white, like the charger for the brush). As a result, the last few days we were left with no way of charging our brush, despite having 3 standard (Micro-B) cables with us! It's a situation that should never happen, in my humble opinion.The second, this one minor, point about the charging cable is that it's yet another thing to carry. And lose, particularly when travelling! Again, if the cable was the same as the ones we use to charge our phones, no problem. We already have loads of these everywhere, and at a pinch can borrow or even buy one, if forgotten or lost. A simple solution would have been to make the cable retractable, inside the case. Yes, another point of failure (and USB cables are prone to braking already), but I would be happy to have that compromise (of a failure-prone but never go without it case/cable combo than what we have - a non-standard cable that you are bound to forget and lose at same point, leaving you with no way of using your expensive toothbrush for the remainder of your holidays).So, to wrap it up: very good brush, albeit too expensive (it will hardly clean your teeth much better than your £2 supermarket manual toothbrush) with a slightly flawed travel case which is bound to leave those that travel a lot (I do) happy and frustrated at the same time.

This is by far the most beautifully designed toothbrush I have ever seen and used. The design is very sleek and modern and I like the fact that the cleaning modes only light up when you are using the toothbrush along with the silver against white accents. If you want a realistic view of what the toothbrush actually looks like then look at the main product picture where the woman is holding it next to the mirror as the other pictures in my opinion don't show off how gorgeous the toothbrush actually is in real life.The toothbrush comes with one head, a silver charging base with two pin plug adapter, a charger glass that can go on the charging base (and the toothbrush still charges perfectly through this)to give a more attractive look in your bathroom and handy if you normally use a cup/glass anyway, a USB lead, a travel cap, travel case and USB plug to two pin plug adapter.Now my first thought when I saw the USB lead and plug was why on earth did the toothbrush come with those? This was very quickly answered when I noticed the USB socket in the travel case and then further explained when I read the instruction booklet. Unlike all the other electric toothbrushes my husband and I have had in the past the travel case for this is not just a travel case but you can also use it to charge your toothbrush whilst away to save having to take the normal charging lead away with you or obviously use it to charge via a USB connection such as your laptop. I have to say I am seriously impressed with the toothbrush just by itself but the added features such as the chargeable travel case and glass charging unit and base really set this toothbrush into another league all by itself when compared against others we have had.The toothbrush has 5 different cleaning modes; Clean, White, Polish, Gum Care and Sensitive and to select between these modes you press the power button until the option you want illuminates on the toothbrush handle. Yes I did say illuminate as you can't actually see the options (until you know where they are and really really look) until the power button is turned on and you select them as part of the sleek beautiful design is that these features are hidden from normal view. The polish mode is something I haven't experienced at home before (I don't think I have seen this on any other toothbrush) and I have to say after using the cleaning and white modes and then using the polish mode my teeth feel super clean.The toothbrush truly is in a whole new league when compared against others and I shall be watching the price to see if it drops to below £100 as then we shall definitely be purchasing one for my husband too. In fact the price is the only 'negative' I can think of for the toothbrush as this is way out of the price limit we'd normally pay for a toothbrush, however having said that now having tested the toothbrush if we had that expendable income I wouldn't hesitate. A truly superior toothbrush and I would wholeheartedly recommend it and definitely worth the cost if you can afford it.Edit 17/10/2015:- My husband ended up snagging the White version of this toothbrush as he convinced me he had a greater need of the functions! I loved this toothbrush so much that I have just purchased one in the Black colour for myself and I have added some pictures of the the Black toothbrush and also alongside the White one for comparison in case this is of any help to anyone thinking of purchasing one of these toothbrushes. The White toothbrush is still going strong, charging perfectly, cleaning perfectly etc nearly 10 months later and the Black version is just as good and comes with a 2 year guarantee when you purchase it.

Philips products are enjoying something of a resurgence of late, and I found myself buying several of their products, sunrise alarms and water floss for various Christmas presents. As regards the humble (perhaps not so humble now!) toothbrush, however, I have always stuck to Braun, and I never envied my wife her ‘clunky’ Philips Sonicare toothbrush with its large handle and its weighty base, as it sat there on our bathroom shelf. Enter this new Sonicare 300 Series from Philips - and what a revelation.Firstly, its beautifully put together, with a slim refined elegance that puts the Braun in the shade. It has a lovely muted, just-off brilliant-white subtle hue,with almost a pearl/satin finish to the plastics and this is topped with a classy chrome collar, almost like a bezel that forms the base for the brush head to slot in to. The finish is completed by discrete LED lights that display the charging and the mode in which you have set your brush action. This is a long way from the annoying ‘launching rocket’ flashing LEDs of my wife’s old Sonicare as it charges in the bathroom, lighting up the whole room!Secondly, it has been beautifully thought out with excellent form and function. I am very impressed by the charging functions, where one can simply position the handle in the nice little weighted glass and it will charge, provided this in turn is placed on its base. The whole thing is secure and not likely to tipple over when the brush is placed within and as soon as one does so a nice subtle charging light appears within the smooth and flawless finish of the brush handle. The whole thing exudes quality. Of course, one can also use the glass – as a glass! In addition the brush comes with a magnificent hinged and magnetised case that simply closes together and retains the brush handle and two cleaning heads. This is perfect for holidays, and the masterstroke, it has a USB socket in the base of the case and comes with a USB charger so that one can easily charge it wherever one finds oneself, albeit with an electricity supply!Thirdly, but I suspect most important, is the cleaning action. I started with the default standard mode, which is ‘clean’ but then I cycled through the others such as ‘white’, ‘polish’, ‘gum care’ and sensitive. Cleaning is wonderful and I found as it went about its quiet but high-pitched work, my gums were tingling, a sensation that is unusual but very pleasant. Most crucially my teeth felt really clean. There is a timing beep, which informs one of the time when you should move on to another quadrant of one’s mouth and the handbook expands on this. Cycling through the modes changed the vigour with which the brush was agitated and, of course, the sensitive setting the most gentle. Once again hidden LED lighting appears in the brush handle to inform one of the mode that the brush has been set. Please note one does not have to press with any force to effect really good cleaning and this is something that the whole set up encourages – gentle use. Given this my teeth felt beautifully clean for the whole morning and it was (almost) a shame to eat!This is a truly amazing toothbrush and though I have not looked at its price point yet, it is so good that on many ways price should be a secondary factor, as I believe this is the best that money can buy and in the context of one’s dental health, price is not an issue. So, an amazing brush from a resurgent Philips, of which they should be proud. I am just going to have to hide it from my wife now! In addition, I hope it’s not too presumptuous of me , to give it a Duncurin ‘Wow!” award, with my thanks.

I have been a long time user of electric toothbrushes, mainly oral B models, so am well aware of the benefits to be gained from suing such devices. I had always steered clear of sonic type ones, firstly on cost basis and secondly my dentist told me there was not much benefit for most people in using them.First impressions are a very sleek/stylish yet understated ceramic design you would expect from a company such. This coupled with various technical innovations How does this compare to my current Oral B what I consider a good toothbrush? . This really is the top of the range item and priced accordingly. It comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty, which should give some peace of mind as to investing in one,backed by a money back guarantee if not satisfied (how well this works in practice is another matter).So what's it like to use, whilst its into the quietest brush it by no means the noisiest (unless you use a manual one). First use I was not expecting much as my teeth generally feel smooth when using my current brush. The cleaning compared to my existing Oral B brush is on a different level, and you can really appreciate how much cleaner this actually makes your teeth feel. There is a whitener mode on the brush claiming to make your teeth whiter, however I haven't tried this yet so cant say. The basic cleaning makes your teeth feel after having visited the dentist clean it really does clean that thoroughly.The toothbrush is designed for ease of use and the basic functions should be comprehensible without resorting to the comprehensive user manual. There are 5 different modes for different styles of cleaning and can be easily selected accordingly. The toothbrush focuses purely on what a toothbrush should do instead of giving you all sorts of useless info toothbrush manufactures seem to think we want or need. This just gets on and does the job of giving you very clean teeth effortlessly without the distraction of telling you what it is doing. The only downside is only one brush head is supplied as standard, at this price I would have expected at least another one.The battery is generally good and depending on usage (4 mins usage per day) should last you just over 20 days. Fully charging the battery takes about 12 hours depending on the method of charging. There are two options for charging, USB visa the travel case (handy for travelling), and a special glass tumbler with 2 pin standard bathroom plug. My only criticism is that to charge through USB you must first rest the toothbrush in the travel case and then plug the USB lead into the travel case, rather than being abe to plug directly into the toothbrush. Whilst the charging tumbler serves as a convenient charger I cant help thinking its a little gimmicky, would more straight forward charging have sufficed.A very capable and effective toothbrush with The downside is the price, at that price I would think seriously before buying or look at cheaper alternatives (if any). The heads are quite expensive compared to my Oral B heads costing 3 times as much so that would something that would need to factored in when buying.Pros*Extremely good cleaning*Well designed*2 year warranty*5 cleaning modes*2 charging methods (2 pin plug & USB)*Good travel case*hygienic storageCons*Price*Cost of replacement heads*Charging time

An interesting idea, charge your toothbrush in a glass!Let’s talk about the glass first of all.1. It holds less than half the water my existing tumbler holds.2. Very heavy glass, I would guess if you drop it on your sink either it or your sink are going to suffer.3. If the bottom of the glass is slightly wet, it sticks to the induction charging base so when you lift the glass the base lifts as well until the mains lead causes it to break the suction.4. If you don't clean your toothbrush properly, the toothpaste gunk will be in the bottom of the glass.5. Getting the toothbrush to stand upright in the glass is a bit of a balancing trick, it tends to lean on the side of the glass (minor,but it looks odd).You may have guessed I don't think the glass is a very good idea?Now for some general thoughts.They say it should last for three weeks on one charge, my one is still on its first charge but the manual seems a little vague on low battery warning only saying the power LED will flash yellow when it has three cleans worth of power left. After use, my one flashes green but the manual does not mention what this means.Note: at the time of writing this review, no user manual is available to download from the Philips website, just a general product brochure.The toothbrush does however have two methods to charge it.1. In the glass where it is also virtually impossible to see the charge indicator light.2. In its travel carry case which has a USB connection (lead and 2 pin USB power unit provided). In this, you can see the charging indicator.The carry case has room for two brush heads (you only get one provided with this model).The ToothbrushUnlike the lesser models, this one has a range of cleaning/polishing modes.To change mode, just press the power button and it will recall the last mode when next powered on.I should note that if you change modes with toothpaste on the brush, don't be surprised if the jolt when it changes mode makes it fly off!Like many other brushes, it has a Quadpacer to let you to know it is time to switch to another area of teeth in your mouth.The modes available are (taken from the manual)1. Clean – The ultimate in plaque removal (standard mode)2. White – Whitening mode of 2 minutes to remove surface stains, plus an additional 30 seconds to brighten and polish your front teeth.3. Polish – Quick 1 minute mode to brighten and polish your front teeth.4. Gum Care – Complete mode combines clean mode with an additional minute to gently stimulate and massage your gums to improve gum health.5. Sensitive – Extra gentle mode for sensitive teeth and gums.I should also mention that when the toothbrush is in your mouth it is very difficult to see the mode indicator which is a series of illuminated words down the brush handle between the power button and the charge indicator light.Unless you like gimmicks, I would opt for one of the lesser models, e.g. HX6511/43 which will also yield good results and at a lot lower price.

This toothbrush comes in several parts, as with its predecessors - the brush head, the handle unit, and the charging base. In this case, there are actually several different charging bases, which I'll go into more detail about below.First, the handle unit. This is done up in a smooth white coating, which is meant to be ceramic. It feels subtly different to the hardened plastic of the HX9172 (the unit below this in the range). The controls are sparse, fitting into the minimalist aesthetic - in fact, there's only one button. Selecting this button both turns on the handle, and allows you to switch between cleaning modes (with attendant changes in brushing intensity). The mode indicator,and indeed the charging light, are off by default, and blend into the surrounding handle.Personally, I rather preferred the extra granularity of having a button for switching the unit on/changing modes, and another button for switching intensity (as in the HX9172), but can't argue that this minimalist approach remains perfectly usable - and the aesthetic of the handle is matched by a nice heft, which leaves it both nice to look at and pleasantly sturdy to use.This model comes with two chargers, both of which involve induction. The first is a glass tumbler with a separate base. To charge, you plug in the base, then place the tumbler on the base, with the toothbrush in the tumbler. It then charges. This is superficially quite neat, and the tumbler is perfectly usable as a glass as well, which is nice. That said, it doesn't feel very different to just plonking the brush down on a charging base, as with every model up until now. A bit gimmicky then, but still quite neat.The other charger is also a travel case, very useful if you're on the go. Usefully, everything you need slots into the case, and you can charge it either directly, or (finally!) over USB. This last is extremely useful for the business traveller - you're likely to have a laptop or other item with USB ports when you're out and about, so there's no danger of your toothbrush suddenly dying. Incredibly useful - I'd say more so than the induction charger discussed above.The brush heads are slotted onto the top of the handle unit - the unit comes with a brush, in case you don't have any already. Slotting them onto the unit is straightforward, and the brush head itself is nice enough to look at and doesn't feel fragile, in line with the usual Phillips quality standard. The clean provided is similar - it feels deep and effective, and like coming back from a professional clean every morning.Overall then, an aesthetically pleasing brush, that provides a pleasant and effective clean. Some of the features are more gimmick than useful, but it's still great to use.

This comes well presented in a nice box, and everything held in place in plastic/cardboard pockets. You get an array of paper with this, and in one of the seven manuals there is some really useful advice such as don't put the brush head in the dishwasher and how to remove the battery at the end of the product's life (with diagrams showing a hammer and a warning that it's not reversible.) Different at least!As well as the actual toothbrush, you also get a carry case, a glass, a charging station that works with the glass (that the manual says can be handily used to drink water from as well as a charger!), you also get a USB lead and power adaptor.Both of these have the standard two pin connector for UK bathrooms so you will need a 3 pin to use anywhere else. You do only get one brush (and cap) which is frugal for the price charged for the package. I didn't use the base/glass to charge as the brush was a little too long for the glass.The carry case has a killer feature of having a USB port to be able to charge on the go from any standard USB charger/port. This is something that I get a lot of use out of and surprised that no one has thought of this before as it's very useful. The case is mostly waterproof (more splash proof) and has a magnetic lock on it that snaps shut without the need for a lock. Not sure about the lime green colour inside it though..From one charge of around 8 or 9 hours, I've easily had 2 weeks of use from the brush.In use, it's bizarre at first - I've never used a sonic toothbrush and as odd as it sounds, it made my head tingle! You do soon get used to it however but it's still a bit weird. There is only one button and you press this to cycle through the various modes - clean (for 2 minutes), white (2:30 min), polish (1 min), gum care (3 mins) and sensitive (2 mins). The handle lights up with the words telling you each mode.It's quite noisy on the first use, but as I tend to have to water running I soon didn't notice the sound of the brush. I liked the different timers for the mode and it did seem to genuinely work better than my Braun electric toothbrush. I'm sure there is some science to the reason why, but to me my teeth felt smoother.The only issue really is the price - it's an excellent product but the current price (£166) is a lot of money for a toothbrush, and as good as it it you can get product that do a very similar job for a fraction of the price. The replacement brushes are also very expensive at around £25 for 4. However if money is no object and you want something that is clearly one of the best oral products on the market then I'd recommend the Sonicare.

Exudes quality (as it should for the price!) - first impressions on unpacking it were that a lot of effort has gone in to a good finish. The charging glass is a nice touch - I wasn't sure how well it'd work, but it's great to be able to just chuck it in the glass and it just start charging - no more lining it up neatly on the "stub" bit protruding from the charger base of the Braun Oral B ones I'd been using in the past.The convenient travel case is a real boon - so handy to be able to keep the toothbrush and a head or two clean and protected when you go away - and the built-in USB-powered charger in it is an excellent feature, and not something I'd seen before. I haven't had to use it to charge the brush so far,beyond testing it out, as battery life seems excellent - but it's certainly a handy feature to have. I do kind of wish they'd used a micro USB connector, like the vast majority of mobile phones and other gadgets use these days, as opposed to the older mini USB connector they went with - but a mini USB cable is provided, and they're not difficult to find still.Cleaning-wise: very impressed. I've been using Braun/Oral B electric brushes for years, and wondered how much better this could be - but the difference is certainly noticeable! When I first received the brush and very briefly tried it out, the super-fast vibration of it "tickled" oddly, but that soon went away. The sales pitch suggests that it "forces" liquid through gaps in the teeth, and I have actually felt this happen while using it. I have noticed my teeth feeling noticeably cleaner and smoother after using it, compared to my previous brush - so it's obviously doing its job well.I'm still unsure as to the usefulness of the different settings - call me a sceptic, but at the end of the day it's just vibrating a brush head - I can't quite see how different vibrations can clean vs whiten, care for gums, etc - but, with that said, there clearly is a difference between the settings, the whitening setting in particular feels different and kind of "pulses" - it's hard to describe. I'm using the clean setting twice daily, and usually the whiten setting after cleaning in the evening - I will update my review in a couple of months to report whether I've seen any noticeable whitening, as that's obviously not going to happen instantly.One thing I found a little off-putting is the fact that a brush this expensive was supplied with a single brush head only - that feels a little stingy to me, and replacement heads aren't cheap - but, if you look around, you can find third-party "compatible" heads, for instance

I bought this toothbrush directly from Philips.I was recommended it by my dentist - I'm planning on having some teeth implants in 3 months time - and my dentist thinks I really need to smarten up on my oral care. One of the things he suggested was the Philips toothbrush.It feels like I have a big vasp flying round my mouth. The vibrations are quite powerful - I imagine this the principle how the plague is removed from the teeth. I told my dentist that I already had an electric toothbrush - Oral B - but the dentist insisted that this was not good enough and that Sonicare toothbrush is much more efficient.The toothbrush comes with a nice tumbler chunky glass - and to charge it - you just place the glass with the toothbrush on top of a charger.It comes with the standard 2 pin electric shaver type of plug charger and also a very looking smart case - for travelling with a USB charger. I find one charge overnight lasts absolutely for ages.I definitelly noticed there is a less build up on my teeth and they look whiter since I've been using this toothbrush. The hygienist told me if I drink tea of coffee have a little water after to minimise the colouring effect of coffee and tea.My dentist recommended few other things. Using interdental toothbrushes which I bought some - but only the wire and bristle type - as the soft plastic type only disloges food bits from between the teeth but won't remove plague. He also told me to get an individual toothbrush - manual - to occasionally clean each tooth individually - it's a little tiny brush - and spend at least 10 minutes brushing my teeth. . He also gave me one another tip about how to brush my teeth. Start always with the areas that are traditionally prone to build up of plague and harder to brush - as our brushing is always the best at the start when we brush our teeth. Another interesting advice was to change my toothpaste every 2 weeks - rotate 2 to 3 different types as I will benefit from different types in different ways.I hope this helps. The Philips Sonicare helps me achieve the best possible oral health so when I have my implants I stand the best possible chance of them working properly and preserving them as long as possible from health and also from financial point. . And also taking the best possible care of my remaining teeth.

I bought this product just over six months ago. The first toothbrush went back as the charging indicator kept flashing even after charging for over 24 hours. The replacement toothbrush has no such issues. There have been a number of fantastic reviews, including descriptions of the contents and feel of the toothbrush so this review is just about my experience:Battery life: lasts the three weeks it claims to last (using mainly the Clean cycle with the White every few days).Charging time: this was slightly disappointing as it continues to take 24 hours to charge each time which means it either needs to be taken off charge to brush the teeth or another toothbrush is needed for the day.I also prefer charging using the travel kit as the charging indicator on that only turns off when it is fully charged whereas in the toothbrush it seems to go into sleep mode so I can only tell if it has finished charging by moving it around or picking it up.Use: I found the instructions sufficient but a You Tube search soon found a useful instruction video from Phillips*. I found the toothbrush definitely made my mouth and teeth feel cleaner and my teeth were whiter too. When I stopped using the toothbrush for a few days I could really see the difference in the teeth. The toothbrush does generate a lot of foam so, as recommended, only a small amount of toothpaste is required. Pressing the control button will also allow the cycle to be paused briefly if needed. Careful with the angle - it feel strange and makes a loud buzzing noise if you accidentally touch your teeth with the brush-head and not the bristles.Don't think it damages the teeth though...*As an aside the video also reassured me that the slight gap between the toothbrush head and the base was normal. Presumably this is to allowfor the vibrations but it does mean that toothpaste dries in between so you may want to clean it now and then.Value-for-money: I've read reviews of other toothbrushes (including Phillips) that offer the same benefits at a lower cost. As I bought this toothbrush on a lightning deal I am very pleased with this purchase and don't regret it. If I had to pay full price though I would likely have purchased something else. Star deducted: for charging time and price of both the toothbrush and the replacement brush heads.

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean toothbrush comes with plenty of accoutrements: a charging glass, a USB charger which can be used when travelling and a handy snap-shut case. Before you use the toothbrush, it needs to be charged for 24 hours. After that, I just pop mine back into the charging glass so it is continually charging. This avoids the problem I had with my previous electric toothbrush: the charge would gradually run down and wouldn't last.I like the design of the toothbrush. The brush is stylish and lights up the five different options from within the handle of the brush: Clean, Whiten, Polish, Gum Care and Sensitive. You select your preferred option by pressing the main power button on the brush.So far, I have tried Clean, Whiten, Gum Care and Sensitive. Sensitive is the best option for my mouth; unfortunately, despite a rigorous oral hygiene routine and visits to the dentist every six months, I suffer with sensitivity caused by gum recession on a few of my teeth. When I used the Clean and White modes, using this toothbrush actually hurt. Even while it is on the extra-gentle Sensitive mode, I find myself being wary as it still twinges when I brush in the sensitive areas. Therefore, for people who have extremely sensitive teeth, this toothbrush may not be the best option.That said, however, it does leave my teeth feeling very clean and polished. I haven't noticed any difference in whitening, but it is perhaps a little early to judge. If I notice a difference, I'll return to this review and update it at a later date. The toothbrush also offers an 'Easy-start' option for people who, as the instruction booklet says, want to "ease into the Sonicare experience". I didn't try this option at first, but as I mentioned that I have experienced some twinges of sensitivity while using the toothbrush, I will try out the Easy-start function. It "gradually increases the sonic power over the first 14 brushings".To sum up: it's an excellent toothbrush but it does take some time to become accustomed to it if you are used to using either a manual brush or a rotating electric toothbrush.

Having had the Oral-B Pro 6000 I was interested to see how this compared, and I have to say I prefer it.First of all it has a completely different way of working, with a vibrating toothbrush head instead of the rotating type that Oral-B use. At first I could hardly use it, because it tickled on the upper gums at the front too much. It doesn't bother me now, either because I've got used to it or it is now running a little faster. For the first 16 uses the speed builds up to help you get used to it.It is also far quieter than the Oral-B 6000 but has the same functions. With this model though you don't have a separate tooth-brush head for the different types of cleaning you're after.Press the on/off button enough times and it goes through the various cleaning modes - shown on the handle in a gentle white low. Get to the one you want and that's all there is to it. It pauses very briefly every 30 seconds to give you an idea of when to move the brush to a different area. As with Oral-B it recommends 30 seconds per quadrant of your mouth, but it doesn’t have that peculiar Bluetooth display that the Oral-B has, for which I am grateful.The charger is a bit of style over substance though. You have to rest the glass beaker that comes with the toothbrush on a charging pad and place the toothbrush in that. The Oral-B docked directly onto the charger and I think that was simpler. I can't help wondering if the additional layer of the glass means the brush takes longer to charge via the wireless signal.However, where it really does win is the travel container. This can hold the toothbrush and two heads and is also another charger, via a mini-usb lead. So I don't need to take the 'normal' wireless charger - just the travel case which protects the toothbrush and the usb lead. Place the toothbrush in, connect the travel case to a power source with the lead and it starts charging. Unfortunately it isn't the same fitting as the min-usb that my mobile phones use - just a little larger. That would have been nice as it now means one more usb lead to take on holiday.

You wont be disappointed. Ive had the Diamond clean HX9331/04 for two months now and am very pleased. This is a top quality electric toothbrush leaving you with that clean teeth feeling over and over again. It compares very well against the Oral B pro line.Contents of the box:- 1 Brush regular Diamondclean brush head- Toothbrush handle- Charger cup glass (No puck charging stand)- Charging base (2 pin shaver plug)- Charging travel case- USB wall adapter- Micro USB Cable- User Manual- POSITIVESSuper fast, buzzing sonic clean. Top tip, turn the brush on in your mouth.There are 5 brushing modes to vary speed and duration. But once your use to your brush youll only ever use clean realistically.Excellent build quality,the plastic material on the brush handle has a high quality ceramic feel to it.Battery life is incredible. After a 24hr full charge you should get 3weeks of daily use from it.Travel charger is very useful for those regularly on the go. The case can store two brush heads which is convenient for a second persons brush head.- NEGATIVESThis is a very expensive toothbrush unit. There is also a newer 3rd generation model available now so take that into consideration if the price warrants.Be warned the replacement brush heads are UBER Expensive.The 'whiter teeth in 2 weeks' is a bold marketing claim which I didn’t see on my own teeth. Other factors will come into play, e.g. drinking tea, coffee, wine etc. So, do not buy this brush expecting dramatic changes.Im not a fan of the glass charging cup as the brush falls and leans to the side instead of standing perfectly vertical.In all fairness those things are to be expected.So...should you consider this?In a nutshell, YES! Should I get this model? Hmm, for the travel case, definitely! For the use of other modes, not so much, for those on a budget, the lower models would do the job just as well. The mechanical functions of the brush is all the same. Regardless you wont be disappointed when you have it.Will update if anything changes.

This is a stunning toothbrush and it exudes quality. Its handle is smooth porcelain with a single button. The charging lights and program indicators glow through its translucent surface. On a single charge it will run for three weeks.I particularly like (practical side kicking in!) the fact that charging is via USB, so you are not dependent upon having a nearby 2 pin shaver socket. That is, unless you use the supplied tumbler charger, which unfortunately is hard wired to a plug. Instead, I will charge it via the carry case, this having a standard microUSB socket.Comparing it with my usual OralB toothbrush, this is far quieter with a very high pitched sound, and the brush head is tiny,like a miniature normal toothbrush. It is however highly effective at cleaning, despite the diminutive size. There are plenty of programs to choose from: clean, whiten, polish, sensitive and gum care. In each program, the brush runs to completion with three slight changes in tone to tell you to move to another quadrant of your mouth.Forget the poster price, this is currently selling at under half that. For a luxury brush, that is a good price. Consumables will be more expensive than the other leading brand, though.Fantastic, Philips! Well done!EDIT: After using this for a while, I find a few things I dislike about this toothbrush.* The heads are too small.* The heads get clogged all too easily, and are near impossible to unclog because the bristles are so tight together. This means you are brushing for the second and third month with them clogged with gunge.* Ergonomically, not having separate on/off and mode changing buttons is a pain. Unless you start the brush without toothpaste on it, and change the mode, wait a few senconds, turn off, put paste on, turn on again, it is difficult to see what more you are using.* Related to this, the button is exactly where your thumb rests when using it, so chances are you will turn it off or change modes by accident.So, I am back to using an Oral-B brush, sorry!
