Is there anything different about the Diamondclean toothbrushes other than the heads? Anyone know?

The diamondclean ones comes with a glass that also acts as the charger. Bit pointless for the extra money they command
Value for money-wise the HealthyWhite or DiamondClean are more of a bargain (going against their usual prices) but brushing effectiveness-wise I'd guess they are all (EasyClean, HealthyWhite, DiamondClean, Flexcare Platinum) the same. I got the recent-ish Pink HealthyWhite recently as I was swayed by the colour :smiley: and this is my third HealthyWhite model, which speaks for itself. Used to have an Ultrasonex way back.
Also, I'd use a little slick of Vaseline on the metal prong when attaching a new brush head. Apparently makes a better seal and makes it easier to remove (the Ultrasonex instructions always said to do this).
PS: The last two digits of the Sonicare models refer to the brush head supplied.

LOL!
It's like me telling you "pay me for the privilege of coming down here to get it" :confused:
I'm guessing it's because "cost of transport between branches". :smirk:
Eh either way, it's kinda funny, in a dark humour kinda way.:confused:

Yep but not much different - linky
The healthywhite bit is just a button to give you an extra 30 seconds of cleaning or different head (which you could use on any sonicare brush) as far as I'm aware. Just bought the one in my link to keep as a spare

agree with previous comments. Charging to collect, good way to keep customers and increase sales!!!

Can anyone who knows about this stuff help me out.
This sonicare toothbrush
Price is a factor but if it hurts me teeth, I'd rather get the better one for a few pounds more.
I'm guessing one of the Sonicare ones are the best?
Also mention a second best option just in case.

Also, are ALL Philips Sonicare toothbrush heads interchangeable between models
or do some models not fit / not work / cause damage on other sonicare models?
The only differences with the HealthyWhite HX6711/02 (which this thread refers to) and HX6721/35 (lavender colour) is that the HX6711/02 comes with a ProResults brush head, and doesn't have the Sensitive setting. The Lavender HealthyWhite comes with a travel case and DiamondClean brush head.
You can also buy Sensitive or ProResults Mini brush heads, if you prefer them.
So, yes, they are all interchangeable on each Sonicare model, even the battery powered PowerUp (be aware that has some rotten reviews and isn't on a par with a "real" Sonicare). If money is a concern, I'd just go for the EasyClean.
Edit: Can't give an honest opinion on Oral-B as I only had a bottom of the range rechargeable oscillating brush about ten years ago, and had an extraction/fillings whilst using it! I wouldn't be comparing like for like and there are some Oral-B fans out there. Sonicare is my choice.
Hahaha, daily hate, indeed. :smile: (Daily Hate on all poor people....)
I would probably choose the cheapest sonicare but I might miss that
sensitive setting.....for when my gums need some therapy...
or do you think the sensitive mode is not that great?
I had a more expensive model with the sensitive mode but never used that mode
so don't know if I need it. (My sonicare stopped functioning after a little more than 2 years if I remember correctly....
and used it in the shower....don't know if it affected the motor/battery or whatever made it slow down
and eventually stop working.....apparently mould growth inside can occur and stop the motor.)
And thanks for the reply. :smiley:

I didn't really use the Sensitive mode on my earlier HealthyWhite models (that had the Sensitive mode, some HealthyWhite brushes don't). We all have different requirements so that's down to your judgement if you think you need it. I'm guessing probably not if you didn't use it before.
I never use my Sonicares in the shower, but I reckon it would only be an issue if you immersed it in a bath, or used a battery model.
I did have problems with the HealthyWhite (this older handle version) where it would come on of its own accord. Luckily I was still within the 2 Year Warranty period by a few weeks (make sure you register online when you get it) so Philips sent another. Apparently the Philips warranty replacements are refurbs but can't verify that.
I picked mine up today, couldn't wait to use it and was not disappointed. I've been using an oral b vitality sonic toothbrush which I have had for about 4 or 5 years now, but the difference was huge. I don't think my teeth have ever felt so clean, would highly recommend :smile:

It's good to hear Oral-B versus Sonicare reviews - many people who leave reviews tend not to have tried both!

I was going to do a Deal for the £2.50 cheaper EasyClean (the most basic 31,000 brushstrokes per minute model) http://www.tesco.com/direct/philips-sonicare-hx651143-easyclean-whitening-rechargeable-sonic-toothbrush/572-4921.prd but wasn't sure anyone would be that interested. If watching the pennies, that's the one I'd go for. Both my teenage niece and boyf use this one.

This Daily Hate article recommends sonic brushes - hardly the best website to source information from, though! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3441138/Bleeding-gums-eroded-enamel-fillings-falling-electric-toothbrush-DESTROY-teeth.html

Philips imply you can with the HealthyWhite (though the reply seems more like a copy/paste response) http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=HX6732/02&dct=QAD&faqview=1&refdisplay=E10_BATH_USE_001&refnr=0082690&scy=HK&slg=ENG
