I got the diamond version about a year ago-- since then my dentist has commented about the lower plaque and much better gum health-- I was sceptical about the claims when I bought it but the evidence is that if used regularly it works-- however the replacement brushes are pricey but can be found on a variety of outlets on net other than usual high street chains-- my dentist says with these you do get what you pay for so I'm happy with that!

Do a compare on Amazon.....i think it's pretty good, only downside is i find you can accidentally knock the sensitivity switch....

I had a look on compare and they look more or less identical. This model does have extra cleaing modes. I am not sure if that is worth extra money? Also Amazon does not have details if there is any varaince between rotation speed between two models.

To be honest a basic electronic will do the job. It's a toothbrush.

BE WARNED - I'm on my 2nd Sonicare Toothbrush as the batteries simply don't last very long!! I'm the sucker in keeping buying them instead of an Oral B!!! Very poor to have to replace every year!

I've been using Sonicare toothbrushes for 10-12 years. Agree, they don't last, but they have a very good 2 year warranty that I've taken advantage of many times. You do an online chat with customer service, you get a postage paid return label and a few days later a brand new handle turns up.

Really? If I give them my serial number if I can't find my receipt - would they be able to tell when I bought it?

Not when you bought it, but when it was made. So as long as it's within two years of manufacture you should be fine... presumably if you have proof of date of purchase with a receipt they'd accept that too... but can't say I've ever needed to... pity as my last Sonicare just died at 2.5 years old.
