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:

Weird, though, this review for the DiamondClean says you can't use it in the shower (very bottom of the page) http://www.bestelectrictoothbrushreviews.co.uk/philips-sonicare-diamondclean-hx9332-review/

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

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.

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:

The older Sonicares had heads like this battery-powered Xtreme version http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Sonicare-HX3351-Operated-Toothbrush/dp/B000FEIOHW but they're obsolete now



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.

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

This is from an older Sonicare thread http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cheapest-uk-philips-sonicare-healthywhite-rechargeable-toothbrush-hx6761-02-come-2381411?p=27221863

Also, are ALL Philips Sonicare toothbrush heads interchangeable between models
or do some models not fit / not work / cause damage on other sonicare models?

Can anyone who knows about this stuff help me out.

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.

£2 for collect what a joke!

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

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

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

OOS

Still out of stock

£22.50 now!

But the actual toothbrush is exactly the same?
