You know it's legit when he's British but his teeth look that good.

Thank you for doing this mate 🙏 I was stuck between the two. I’ve decided on the sonicare thanks to this. Appreciated fella ❤️

A superlative series on electric toothbrush oral care. I've decided to move from a manual brush to an electric brush (at age 78). Your videos have been most helpful in trying to sort out the "best" or "most suitable" from the huge thicket of models. A hearty thank you.

Excellent and honest comparison, I found it helpful. Thank you!

Excellent review and explanation. Just what I needed. Thanks!

Always a great review.

Such an underappreciated channel ! Thank you !

That was very thorough and helpful.

thoughtful and insightful. provided clarity on concerns I may have overlooked.

Thank you for review!

What a great review, very helpful. Gave me good information to help me make a decision on which toothbrush to buy.

I have an oral-b pro 6000 for 6 years now, it never let me down, still in pristine condition. Has bluetooh built in, it can store up to a month worth of toothbrushing data that you can sync with the app (time+duration). I can manually setup a lot of things for the brush, like duration of the brushing, disable the buzzing between sections, amount of sections for the teeth(4 / 6), manual reminder for toothbrush heads, % feedback of battery charge. Best investment ever.

Thanks for uploading this. In my experience I had the sonicare 5100 and after a few months the pressure sensor started to malfunction. When no pressure was applied at all the brush would only barely vibrate-no where near the original amount and certainly not enough to clean. I had to push the brush head with my finger either left or right to get it to vibrate like it did at first. So while the pressure sensor that automatically slows the vibrations down may be a good sell for the sonicare, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s also another component that can break. That’s my second Phillips brush I’ve had and I think I’ll try oral B next. $70 was a lot to pay for a brush that lasted only a few months. I foolishly didn’t register the brush and have had difficulty getting their customer service website to work. I’m a young guy too, I know how to work a computer lol. Cheers

Very thorough and useful review! Thanks a lot!👍

i have a lot of problems with my teeth due to bad hygine dental routine: a missing tooth, cavities, gingivities.. I bought phillips sonicare after 3 years using oral. I could noticed the huge discrepancy between these products. Phillips makes my teeth so much cleaner, stronger and whiter while I'm fixing all my dental problems.It's expensive but it's worth money. I think for those who dont have many problems w your teeth, go for oral b is a quite good choice.

Great presentation - cleaning quality and data has to come first over and above all!

Great video! Super great insights - I have never seen any comparison that is this thorough!

I'm fine with my Philips Sonicare 4100. It's quite an amazing toothbrush.

Informative. Thanks.

I just bought a atmoko water flosser and toothbrush combo water flosser & sonic toothbrush for $ 40 from Walmart! I have been using it for a week no complaints! Very satisfied with the purchase; it's made in China which might turn some away

I have always been curious about Oral B because I have been using various Sonicare models such as the Protective Care 4100 and Diamond Clean. Sadly, both my Diamond Clean Sonicare brushes stopped vibrating and were replaced by the company. Then, I bought the Protective Clean 4100 and the brush stem came completely disconnected from the base so it too was replaced by Sonicare. The company is great with replacements, but I would love one to be durable.

I’ve been using the sonicare protective clean 4100 for 2 months now, and I’ve really been loving it! It consistently keeps my mouth feeling incredibly clean, way better than with just a manual brush.

I’ve been using a Sonicare for about 5 years now, not a bad toothbrush at all. I used an Oral-B for a while before that, but I found the Sonicare to be better and more effective.

Thanks for making these videos, super helpful

Thank you!

Philips Sonicare 9700 - Fantastic package.

thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏻

A superior benefit of the Philips Sonicare are the brushes which are soft on the back, and not hard like the OralB (i9). Since I use Philips 9900 with the C3 brushes, I do not have any more bumps in my mouth. The bumps were caused by the hard brush head of the Oral B bumping against my gums. Overall your mouth is more clean with sonicare toothbrushes

I love philips sonic care brush its amazing i use Dimond brush and its really good

Thanks for this video. Very helpful …. Even if I bought the Sonicare Diamondclean9000 before 😂😂 but my daughter (dentist) uses the Oral B IO and didn’t recommend it to me because of the unfriendly bahavior (too much leaks,…). Whatever, I noticed these 2 brushes were close to each other’s and that’s the major indicator.

Great review big dogg. Thank you

i got the 9900 cant wait for it to arrive

Since the clinical studies point to the latest Oral B io Series technology being superior to Sonicare for removing plaque, cleaning teeth, etc, I'm switching to Oral B io Series 9 from my Diamond Sonicare. They both have a lot of bells and whistles and travel cases so I don't see how it's even close when determining which one to get unless the Oral B feels too hard / rough for someone or proper technique is more difficult to master for one vs the other.

I am no toothbrush expert but the round brush-head that cups teeth is the best for me.

I’ve used both and feel I can get oral b to my rear better.

If you have any gum recession at all, a rotating brush can put grooves in the dentin. My dentist recommended the Phillips.

Like both but chose oral b.Very happy! Sonic is good but there brushes are more expensive and less of a variety to choose from.😁

I really wanted to try the Oral-B toothbrushes this time but the proprietary, non-USB charging adapter is a showstopper. Philips Sonicare got this right with their brushes.

Could you do a comparison of dental flosses?. There's waxed, unwaxed floss, satin floss, and "reach" floss ( that some say is made with forever chemicals). Thanks.

I've tried oral b and sonic care and with a dentist confirming without me telling him what brush I use 1 year each Oral b cleans better with the timer and cleans better overall in difficult spots Sonic care needs to repeat the timer 2 times for it to feel clean and I got the comment that I did not brush my teeth well some spots missing I conclude that the oscillation oral b has is a more effective cleaning method I was looking for round brush heads for phillips but shame there are none for my model hope this helps

Hey John. Thanks for your videos I am really happy that there is a dedicated channel for oral care with updates every now and then. A key point you always forget to mention is the allowed voltage for these appliances. For example these two are marketed as home n travel toothbrushes but as I understand oral B on their websites clearly mentioned that their only travel toothbrushes are the genius line. So I wonder what is the required voltage for Oral b io Thanks

I have a Oral B 1000 and Sonicare 4100. For me, it doesn't matter as much how loud the brushes are as they are tolerable enough, but more the type of noises they make. The Sonicare 4100 noise is slightly higher frequency which reminds me of an angry bee buzzing and is less attractive to my ears. I don't know if the more expensive Sonicare models has a lower frequency sound, but this is one of the reason why I like Oral B more.

Just bought and used Oral B Vitality one . Been using Walmart knock off generic toothbrush that looks similar to other Oral B ones . The difference between the two is while the WM generic one (Equate ) does seem to have more brute power while the Oral B Vitality is a bit less rough more refined or more controllable . It was a nice change though for now it'll mostly be my backup or in between morning and evening cleaning one . I've no problem using both . I believe both will definitely do its job .

I have both the Sonicare and oral b toothbrushes and I tend to alternate them with each other. I tend to find that the Sonicare gives me a better clean.

Thank you!🦷

I have both

had both and i am definitely on team sonicare, just cleans my teeth better and faster, oral took longer to clean and hold vs sonic

I now have both.. And it is crazy how different both feel.. Very consusing.. The Philips feels definitely softer and more gentle..

I’ve had my Sonicare by Phillips toothbrush for 11 years lol. Never had a problem with it. I actually bought a Burst toothbrush per recommendation from my dentist from my dentist office and my husband broke his already. I don’t like the Burst at all. They don’t clean my teeth. Total waste of money. My husband left his Sonicare at an air bnb so I’m buying us another set of Sonicare toothbrushes. There’s just so many different models. I can say from experience that the Phillips Sonicare is the best toothbrush I’ve ever had. 11 years is pretty good. The battery lasts weeks. I never feel like my teeth get clean with any other toothbrush.

That'll obviously be and anecdotal proof but I used to use one of the highest models of Sonicare in the past (I'd say 10+ years ago, but memory may be failing me) and it broke shortly after 2 years of usage by one person only. On the other hand I've been using Oral-B Vitality which is an entry level electric toothbrush with my family of 3 for years now (~ 5) and it doesn't seem to be coming anywhere near the end of its life. Based on your reviews I've just ordered another Oral-B (Pro 3 3500) as I wanted a pressure indicator for my son who tends to press brushes too hard. I didn't want anything fancy with BT and what not, because for me they're just gadgets that would probably be used a couple of times and then no one would care about connecting phone to them.

Great review! Which one is better for gum health?

Thank you

Thank you! Very timely as I am considering buying an electric toothbrush. Could you please talk about ease & comfort of the handles/grips? Especially for people with limited dexterity due to stiff finger joints (from something like arthritis or arthrogryposis). Also for people with small hands. Flossing tools for people with limited dexterity would be helpful too. Thanks again.

Thanks for your sharing

Thank you for this. Can you do the same comparation with cheapest electric toothbrushes? Recently I bough Oral B but I'm unsatisfied. Thanks and have a good life.

my sonicare diamond brush broke after 2 years of using it. since the warranty expired, they swapped my brush with a new one for 75 USD. retail price of sonicare diamond is around 300 USD.

Real hard to choose, but i used both for a while and i find the Oral B brushhead to bulky in my mouth. That is personal of course, Philips and Oral-B do their job well but for me it is Philips

Philips and Oral b both work alongside with Dentist Dentist do Oral b Electric Toothbrush Test Drives and a also give their patients Oral b toothbrush/ Oral b brush heads. Dentist also do Philips Zoom Teeth Whitening.

Welp, after a short research session, Sonicare it is. I've been using Quip for the last couple of years and I have so many cavities. I brush twice a day, floss daily, and use fluoride mouthwash almost daily, and I have multiple cavities always. Time for a change.

A while ago, I asked you what toothbrush should I buy if money is not a problem? Based on your recommendation, I bought the Phillips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9700. This thing is so very great! I'm very satisfied, and have noticed a big difference compared to my old electric toothbrush. It's expensive, but if you want the best you gotta pay! Thanks for the great videos and for answering my question back then.

Really love my sonicare!!!

Hi there, I was wondering what are your thoughts on battery operated toothbrushes? I'm currently using Philips Sonicare (rechargeable) but will be going travelling long-term next month and it's quite heavy and bulky to carry so I'm considering getting Philips One, battery operated brush. My main issue is that my teeth are very close together and can't always reach in between the gaps and end up with cavities. I was wondering if battery powered is better than manual?

Used both, but OralB is my choice always

I have both but my sonicare is better quality while oral b is not the top of the line model. I think it depends on which model is more premium that makes the difference

Great video. Which one is better for sensitive gums and teeth?

I’ve gone through 4 diamond clean Sonicares in the last 10 years. They all failed, some in warranty, some outside. Sonicare give an excellent clean while being gentle and quiet, but I think it’s ridiculous to have to warranty them every 2 years. I’m going to give Oral B a chance, hopefully it will last better.

Which one do you prefer for people with sensitive teeth and gums? I previously owned an electric toothbrush(sonic) but the vibration gave me a negative sensation and headache probably due to the very hard bristles. My dentist suggested I use one and I am very skeptical due to this reason. Also, which brush heads should we use from the particular brand? I would prefer a gentle cleaning or feeling on the teeth.

After using sonicare for years and few cracked tooth I changed to oral b. 5 years and no issues.

even the Smart 2000 seems hard to find these days, in spite of the update by the channel here. Thoughts on the Oral B IO? There are varying "Series" to this name, though. Cheers.

I've been a sonicare guy for a few years now. Just recently gave oral b a try and I'll never go back. My teeth have never felt so smooth and clean.

Madness both of them are very good just use a water flosser before brushing great video

Hi thanks for the info. Can you comment on the Myst toothbrush?

i have a small wire on my bottom front teeth "permanent retainer" and have difficulty cleaning in between the openings, which would you recommend, the oralb smart 1500 or sonicare 4100, oral b noise volume is no concern of mine

I don't know where to ask this, so here it goes: I'm using a Sonicare 4300 for 2 weeks and it feels...too strong. Today I bought a very cheap sonic toothbrush from Lidl (Nevadent) and it is...pretty good for the price but the vibration is half as strong compared with the Sonicare. Also I heard that teeth abrasion is a thing with Sonicare...so maybe it is a good thing to use a weaker vibrating brush? But can it be good enough for healthy teeth? Or is it better to switch to oral-b than use an inferior sonicare substitute?

Hi Jon! Which one of the two would you recommend for a smoker? I know it's a bad habit but trying to minimize the damage 😁

Hey Jon are going to review the Oral b App vs the Philips Sonicare too?

Thank you for your work, sir 🙌🏻 Greetings from 🇺🇦) Thought about this question a lot of times and, probably, find a solution for myself. Thank you for analysis. ♥️

What oral B model do you recommend for sensitive teeth? I need a slower gentler toothbrush and softer bristle head thats not going to irritate my teeth and take away all the enamel. But I like the round brush head (not the sonicare one)

I got the Oral-B Pro 2 2500 per your recommendation and I love it. Cleans really well, has everything I need, and it was great value for money (35€). Thanks for the great video's.

Would you recommend oral B with crossaction brush head for braces?

Thank you for this informative video! However, I have a question why do you recommend different toothbrushes based on living country? BTW I live in Saudi

I find the vibration of sonicare irritating when the back of the head bumps against my other teeth, but I like that they are quiet. Is the IO best then? Does the whole head vibrate intensely like sonicare or is it like softer like the standard oral b?

Does (EU) Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 pressure control not only gives sound/vibration, but slows down the intensiveness too (similar to Oral-B reaction)? Or it gives only sound? Also what is the difference in Low and High intensiveness? Are those both up to 62 000 moves per min? Or movement speed is same, but some kind of amplitude is different? Any measurement units to express it?

Hello Dear Jon, I’m considering that tongue cleaning is useful? The all features of Genius 10000 has benefits or not just particularly ? I do care about your thoughts 💭 Regards..

I bought the sonicare easy clean on sale at best buy for 27 dollars. The hx6511/51. Is that good or should I return it and pay for the 4100? I'm picking up the easyclean tomorrow.

Will you be reviewing the burst water flosser?

I have used Philips Sonicare for about 30 years. First one battery finally would not recharge. The 2nd one is over 10 years old. I wish heads were softer bristles. Very good dental visits with little tartar. I find it hard to believe that there are do many comments with units breaking down. My dog leaves the area with Sonicare. Oral B is louder? He wouldn't like that.

I do like oral b rotating brush as I have very poor teeth. But oral B isnt sold here in my country, only philips does. So im not sure if I should buy the imported oral B or pick sonic care. And also the oral B batteries issue that is worrying. Help me to pick

I still use my first Oral B Braun, which still on the original battery over a year later. But now I want to upgrade to a sonci style. But confused if any use sound pulse, or if sonic just means speedy vibrations!!!!

Very helpful video but I have a question. I have a ‘Proofvision’ electric shaver socket with built in toothbrush charger my Oral b but can you also charge a sonicare on the same unit?

I’ve been using the oral b tooth brush for many years and love it. I was given the sonic as a gift and it hurts my teeth. I’ll stay with my oral b.

I had a Sonicare for years, loved it, battery is dying sadly, kinda planning to get an Oral B this time around just to see what that is like. I think the tooth brush market is getting a little overly complicated (this is not directed at the video creator) but I do not give a single crap about technology in a toothbrush. I don't want Bluetooth, I don't want a mobile app, I want the strongest motor for the most intense cleaning feeling, with the best possible battery life, ideally at the lowest possible price. After spending the better part of a week reading about Oral B I borderline just want to say no and buy a new Sonicare. They make these things to complicated for no reason, I don't want 50 settings and 5 intensities for my toothbrush, my toothbrush doesn't need a led screen .... I just want a the most intense toothbrush, even their product lineup doesn't make sense as the higher end you go the worse the battery life gets. On top of that at the higher end the motors seem to get weaker as well .. I'm kinda stuck between the 1500 and the 6000 but really they need to stop this stupid nonsense it's a toothbrush not package options for a BMW. It really has frustrated me enough where I kinda want to just avoid their products all together due to the frustrating experience they have made this. Dear Oral-B No one is asking for a internet of things toothbrush, I know it doesn't exist but I can't help but feel at some point I might need a server side verification to proof replacement heads are authentic.

11:15 answered my only question -- Will all brush heads interchange with all bases. Good info all around though but if it were me, I would have given that info as part of the intro instead of 11 minutes into it. Thanks

Oral b and Sonicare are both sonic. Without the brush heads, the metal stalks move side to side the same way. The way the brush heads utilize this movement differs. Sonicare, with the small gap in between the handle and the head, allows the movement of the whole brush head from side to side. Oral B brush head, with a mechanism in place, turns this side to side movement into an oscillating movement, hence it's noisier. The noise is coming from the head's oscillating mechanism. So technically sonicare is more "basic" while oral b tries to mimic the brush heads of 'rotating' brush heads used in dental chairs. Sonicare is best used by people who want a familiar looking toothbrush, while Oral-B is best used by people who want the feel and look of a dental chair brush head. Both are equally good, it's the technique, pressure, and patience from the user's part that's important. Both are equally better than manual toothbrush. Used Oral B 500 way back when, and then currently using Sonicare 6100

Is the prestige 9900 worth it over the diamond clean 9000? The diamond clean is available as a 2 pack for $329 CAD and the prestige is $399 CAD each brush. We would need 2 since my partner needs one too. We currently have the oral b genius which battery is starting to die out.

My only issue with Sonicare is that it spoils very quickly. We bought the most expensive model, both my girlfriend and I. And guess what, both spoilt in the same month. Both sets lasted about 18months in total? Very very disappointing. Almost felt like it was made to fail after a certain date.

I hate the round brush on the Oral B and love the long narrow brush of the Philips. I also much prefer the sonic vibrations of the Philips rather than the rotating round brush of the Oral B. My mouth always feels so much cleaner after using the Philips Sonicare and I came from an Oral B before picking up the Philips Sonicare. I find the OralB too intense and rough. It’s harder to get into those hard to reach places.

What about the smart clean 360?
