Its 3am. I have a test tomorrow. But here i am watching a dude review a toothbrush...

How to impress your friends at a sleepover

You continue to impress me! When I got the email saying you reviewed a toothbrush, I thought this was way out of your wheelhouse. Actually it was way out of MY wheelhouse not realizing that even brushing your teeth has become computerized. The act is the same but technology has greatly improved the equipment. However, For hundreds of dollars my Sonicare will still work just fine. You're still my favorite nerd keeping this 62 year old man in the loop with tech stuff! Thanks & keep up the good work as I look forward to your next vid!

Best brand toothbrush ever. My hygienist recommended Sonicare in 1992. Over the years models have changed and improved. My dental cleaning visits only take 30 minutes because this brush really tackles plaque, buildup and stains like no other. My two kids have used Sonicare as well with the same results. If you care about your oral hygiene, you will love this brush. Oh yeah, my brush lasts on average 10 years!

*Did i just watch a 15 minute video about a toothbrush*

Seriously excellent review. Thanks, Joe! I know this review is from over two years ago, but I just now picked this brush up based on your review.

Great video! I too had oral B and switched to Sonicare. Was having difficulty getting used to it. Thanks for this u-tube I now have a better understanding and the app is a great tool.

i never thought i would ever be watching a toothbrush review video lol

Very thorough review Joe. Thank you 🙏. Please keep up the fantastic and wonderfully professional video.

I have using my sonicare flexcare since 2013. I am happy with it so far and have been using generic brush heads with it to save a quick buck.

I bought this and looking forward to using it. I was a sonicare user for 15 years. In that time, I did not go to the dentist. I was forced to go eventually as I lsot an old filling, from childhood. I got a full check up and had zero cavities. Made the mistake some time thereafter of switching to an Oral-B. After 1 year of use, I have my first toothache in 25 years. Should never have switched.

I bought the $15 sonicare power-up and the diamond clean brush heads. When the alkaline batteries wore down, the brush head would really slow down. So, I started using Energizer ultimate lithium batteries. They give more consistent brush head speed for the entire life of the batteries. My other toothbrush is an Oral-B 1000 black edition that I got at Target. I find that the Oral-B cleans the tooth surfaces better and that the Sonicare is better for cleaning at the gum line.

Thanks for the great info. This was the best video I found for this toothbrush. Just bought the 9300.

I love it!!!!! My mouth seriously has never felt cleaner after using this brush it's like I just came from the dentist every morning and night. I have had gum problems my whole life and this has made a huge difference for me. I also use a Waterpik to floss.

Great review, was struggling to work out the differences in the models and this helped a lot. I think the should clear up the jargon in regards to these, I was in the market for one but it was so confusing trying to choose the right model I almost gave up! 😆

Great video, Thio, very detailed and nicely explained!

Many thanks for your review. Very clear and comprehensive .

My old one (8 years) suddenly got way loud and felt like a jackhammer in my hand. I think the shaft finally gave out and the vibration is no longer transferred to the head so I bought the classic one without the bells and whistles and has only one button for $175.00. Since using the sonicare diamond clean I have had excellent checkup results and my gums receded much less.

Got this bad boy with 8 replacement brushes for $180 on Amazon on Cyber Monday 2019

a 16-minute review and we haven't seen the toothbrush in action nice 👍

Okay, Thio Joe: thank you for a very thorough review. I am reading this on Monday January 22nd 2019 so, you have had a bit over a year-and-a-half with the $300 toothbrush. Now, what I want to know, how are your check-ups? clesner? Less plaque? Does your mouth feel cleaner? Why not give us an update? Thank you.

Best in-depth review found so far.

Thanks James Franco for teaching me the way of the toothbrush

I used an Oral B electric toothbrush for years until now. Today my dentist recommended the Philips Sonicare to me. I have decreding gums and the teeth are very sensitive to cold food/drinks. She said the Oral B actually increases decreding gums because the brush head rotates and the "hair" is in different lengths so you always scrub away more on some parts of the teeth. Sonicare with soft brush heads is a lot more gentle on sensitive teeth!

Will it give me free WiFi?

Awsm review Thio! Keep it up! It actually looks pretty premium and luxurious. So... It'd be cool to have it.

Thank you for detailed review! It is really help to make a choice.

I have that toothbrush, I got it for a great deal at Kohls. It replaced my Sonicare Pro. I've had it since it came out. I just went to the dentist this week and the dentist said she couldn't tell I don't floss. The hygienist said it was the easiest cleaning she's done in years... and I only go to the dentist once a year

Worth every dollar 👌 wish everyone would take one home for sample I bet you'll save for one. Priorities 😁

My boyfriend bought me this toothbrush and I love it. My mouth has never felt so clean

Thank you. Appreciated your thoroughness. 👍🏻

I am currently deciding on two different Philips Sonicare toothbrushes. 1) Sonicare Series 2 Plague Defence 2) Sonicare Diamondclean My main concern is, does the Diamondclean offer ANY superior cleaning ability to the Plague Defence? I heard that the Diamondclean has issues within the warranty duration (2 years). Is this true and how does the Plague Defence compare in this aspect?

Purchased the Sonicare Diamond Clean 9700 model and the Sonicare Airfloss Ultra after my dentist stated if my gum health didn't improve, I would have to see a gum specialist. I was able to use a 20%-off store coupon plus the manufacturer's limited-time rebate which reduced the hit to my wallet. Besides, I figured buying the Diamond Clean and the Airfloss Ultra was cheaper than me seeing a gum specialist since I doubted my dental insurance was going to cover a specialist visit. I have a lot of crowns and it's difficult to clean all the nooks and crannies. After a month of using the Diamond Clean and the Airfloss my dentist was extremely impressed and wanted to know what I had done. A gum specialist visit was no longer needed so purchasing the Sonicare products were cheaper for me in the long run. The only downside is that they are not as quiet as I would like and my neighbor is annoyed at the noise (the apartment building I live in has very thin walls).

Idk about you buy I only buy hands-free toothbrushes

Just picked up the non-diamond edition model for $100 on clearance and I think it's really solid.

Purchased the Philips sonic tooth brush after my oral B quit working , and I swear it feels like I came out of the dentist after getting my teeth cleaned every time I use it . I couldn’t justify the cost till I tried it, but no regrets here. This may sound strange , but I purchased another oral B and use them both . First the sonic and then I follow with the oral B , as I find I like the small rotary head of the oral B in certain areas . I’m probably going to wear the enamel right off my teeth lol

Great video! Can you also use this device for 2 persons?

I've got this brush today its amazing brush doing great job

Interesting summary, I learned how to use the app better - Thank you. I bought my Sonicare to avoid the parodist and a gum revision (check out that procedure and its cost). Through the app, I see I have been putting too much pressure causing the gums to recede. I just got the toothbrush and it works very well (same positive results as other reviewers). I like the app and, hopefully, can avoid the cost and pain of a gum transplant. Compared to a gum transplant, the toothbrush is inexpensive and much less painful (no pain with the toothbrush :}). Thank you ThioJoe, good review

An excellent review!

I just bought a 15$ Oral-B and I love it gets the job done 😍

Can you please give us an updated with this toothbrush because I am planning to this buy one. I want to know the quality and durability as well. Thank you so much.

Hi Thio, hoping you can help me out. Is there such a thing or device that goes from DVI to USB? If so, where may I purchase or do you have one laying around? Thank you for your time! I love your videos!!! 🙏🏾👌🏾

I love this channel thank God I found it.

I bought the DiamondClean 9000 which is almost the same, I really like it so far. Compared to this one how would you guys say it is comparing? Thank you

True geek here🤓.... I was amazed when it told me it needed a firmware update... It does a great job cleaning your teeth too😬

Great video! I only wish the Sonicare would have allow you to change batteries. The way it is now, if your battery dies - you have to pay. $300 for a new brush. Bummer.

Amazing toothbrush technology ! I just bought an El Toothbrush today. Not a flagship like this one though. Do we really need a tongue brush..?

On brushing teeth its very important to rinse off the toothpaste as they have strong abrasives and sugars. Its also important to use a soft toothbrush and to brush the hidden parts like the back of teeth and gums

Is this good for sore gums? My husband won't brush his teeth because he claims his gums are too sore, he has poop breath. This is a lot for me to spend but if I can get him to brush his teeth, it will be worth it.

I just want to know how well it brushes the teeth 😫

im just watching this cuz i got it as a gift for my braces and didnt know its worth 300 bucks

Excellent video! Buying one from Costco ($130 off sale) and if I don't like it they have a fabulous return policy!

I bought the Oral-B Genius 9000 a few days ago!

Great review

Small correction: The 9300 comes with a regular case that does not have recharging capabilities.

I have this Lunar Blue Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart (9700) toothbrush. I am in the United Kingdom. It cost me £202.49 (£269.99 minus 25 percent). It comes with three Premium brush heads, and one TongueCare+ head.

This is a good review but I would've liked to have seen a demo of the different modes. I just bought this toothbrush today. Intuitively I expected, when you select a specific goal, that the toothbrush would automatically set up based on the goal you select. For instance, if you choose "Whitening goal" then the handle should indicate white and a certain level should be selected without you manually choosing those settings. This is something that would be very cool if based on your goal you choose the toothbrush would setup itself up to that mode.

10:54 actually, i bought the 9300 years ago, and it did not come with a charging travel case, just the normal one. I tried getting a charging case separately but it didn't work (they're also hard to get separately as there are a few different kinds that don't always work with all the brushes). This is huge for me, the glass is very impractical even for something like a week long cottage trip or a weekend at my parents or smthg.

Does the case have an own battery oder does it only charge the toothbrush when u use the cable?😊

been using for a year. Its good.

this things smacks i swear it’s good as hell

Thank you for a great video. What are the signs to change the brush head ?

Any electric toothbrush especially a Phillips sonic care like 4100 or higher will save you thousands in dental charges compared to regular toothbrush. It will prevent cavities and help keep those cavities you have from Becoming a root canal or worse until you can get them filled.

i wonder whether this high-end model toothbrush can clean as well or better than the low-end 4100 model?

In the United Kingdom, the "Premium" brush heads are the ones with the chip in it that tells the toothbrush what mode it should be on for that brush head.

so this is the bugatti of the toothbrush

good review thanks I am going to get one to replace Oral B but on the side - why is your face yellow?

You can find it on ebay for $169 to $179

$300 for something that can adjust extensively for various forms of sensitivity seems like an expensive composition, but it’s not when compared to $2000 crown/root canal treatment, $4000 Invisalign treatments or 10,000/$15,000 treatments for implants.

Its surprisingly an incredible tooth brush

Dude thanks for the great breakdown. Costco is selling 2 brushes and chargers for $200 Not sure about how many heads

I've been using Sonicare products forever, but the problem is that the mechanicals die over time. It's inevitable. Every one has had a span of about 2 years, tops. The QC used to be much higher. If you register the product the company is very good about replacing the handles, but it's a PITA. Therefore, instead of buying the best one, I've learned to get some midrange version that has just the features I need and nothing more, so I can spend as little as possible. It's the sonic action that you're looking for with the device. It's a toothbrush, after all. How much intelligence, artificial or otherwise, does it take to use effectively?

Will you do a video on the web browser Vivaldi at some point?

Are you still using this toothbrush? I'm curious to see if your thoughts on it changed after an extended period of use.

OMG I'll buy it today

I have one, immediate improvement in my overall oral health, then, after a while my back molars started getting very sensitive, to the point where it would hurt eating a salad, or anything cool to cold for that matter, went back to a manual brush and the pain went away...imo it was a waste of money, just floss and brush every day and you won’t have anything to worry about.

I just purchased the 9700 DiamondClean Smart and it was confusing at first, which is why I sought out videos of its use. For the monies one pays for these things and virtually geting no instructions, save how to brush, is just stupid crazy. As you said, if cost is not the issue, these are nice to have and keep track of health care results. I'm hoping to have many happy years of use with this thing. The only thing I can't seem to find, or maybe I missed it with you, is where to get the app. No one touches on that point. But anywhoo.....Say...on another subject, aren't you the guy that fooled me years ago by having me run the incoming internet cable through two CD's and taped together to raise internet speeds? Was that you or some other jokester I'm thinking about? LOL

I like the circle heads on the oral b ALOT better.... The oral B always makes my mouth feel way cleaner after brushing!

Hi im from sydney i just wondering theres no plastic standing charger coming withthe package just the glass only. :(

My dentist recommended this toothbrush, he said it was the best. I ordered it right after my appointment

You can get these much cheaper at Wal-Mart. You can also get a much simpler version without all the silly features for between 15.00- 40.00. I go to the Dollar store and get 2-3 brushes. I could buy about 900 toothbrushes for what they want for this one. If I use 1 every 6 months they would last 37.5 years.

I just ordered one this morning.

So they got a toothbrush the price of a console?

patiently waiting for smart floss

Can you discern the difference at different mode?

ThioJoe It's like having your dentist watching how you brush your teeth#732.

love your videos

Lol ... Wow, will it butter my toast in the morning too ... :P Question, can you tell the app if you are missing teeth so it won't tell you you missed certain teeth? Thanks for the review.

Is the inlay of the charging case made of plastic or rubber?

My Gloridea sonic toothbrush was only $16 and I feel like it does the job just fine.

The bluetooth is kinda silly but I do like cordless toothbrushes. If Philips was really smart the brush would have a built in speaker to sing away your cavities

Do you think the sonicare is better than the oral b?

I heard that the brush is extremely loud and some people have been saying it stop working not even a year after they got it.

How about durability of charger/battery?

I bought one only lasted 10 months before it stopped working.

I got that same one in same color. But I'm using it the stupid way instead of "smart" ... Im disassembling it right now as I type. One drop on the floor head down and the affectiveness is gone....for $300, maybe have something that protects the vibrating pin against drop? !!! Just a thought

came for the toothbrush, stayed for this guy

Been using this for 1 year, my dentist says that it has amazingly improved, I used to get my teeth sanded once a year, it’s been a year and my dentist says there is no point as they look amazing.

Does anyone know if there's a model that has all the features and quality of this, but without the bluetooth smart features? That's definitely something I can't see myself bothering with!
