Philips SonicareDiamondClean Smart 9500 Electric Toothbrush, Sonic Toothbrush with App, Pressure Sensor, Brush Head Detection, 5 Brushing Modes and 3 Intensity Levels, Black, Model HX9923/11

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I ordered this toothbrush over a year ago. WELL worth it. Great cleaning power, and my dentist always compliments my teeth when I go for cleanings. I have orthodontia as well, and I’ve had no problems using it with braces. Two days ago, the metal post on the handle where the toothbrush heads attach somehow dislodged on the inside. I reached out to customer service that evening, and they immediately sent out a replacement at no charge. They included a return label so I could send my broken one back and they could check out the problem. I JUST got the replacement today, super fast service! I’m always impressed when big companies have great customer service, and Philips didn’t disappoint. Vibration level:Love having multiple levels of vibration. I started out slower because it initially tickled my gums, but was quickly able to go up. Ease of use:Push a button to turn on, and there’s one other button to change the cleaning mode and speed. Quality:I’ve used Sonicare for years, but this is my first time with this model. My previous Sonicare lasted 8ish years, so I know they’re made to last. Battery life:The battery life on this toothbrush is impressive. I went out of town for 2 1/2 weeks and didn’t even need to recharge! I love that this model comes with a travel charging case, but I didn’t even need to use it. Appearance:Super slim compared to my old model. It’s also surprisingly light weight, considering how much power it has. The charging base is also really cool too. I initially started with just the stand, but switched to the glass cup and I can keep the extra toothbrush head that my husband uses in it (without affecting the charging). Noise level:VERY quiet compared to my old model, and more power. They’ve stepped up their game!

I had always used a manual toothbrush until my dentist recommended I get an electric toothbrush due to some gum disease onset. I asked the dental assistant which they recommended and she said everyone on their office has the Phillips SonicCare line. I immediately bought the 4100 a few months ago while I did more research and the 4100 did a good job. I’m Amazon Day when it went on sale, I upgraded to the 9500 because of the gum health and white teeth features and it appeared to be much better quality. This toothbrush far exceeded my expectations! It’s powerful and amazing! The different brushes are so nice too. It feels luxurious. It cleans and brushes much different than the 4100 model. I love the travel case and will use that. The glass to charge it in is really cool and pretty. It’s beautiful! While not cheap, I got a great deal and look forward to my next dentist visit. I’m confident it’s making a big difference and is an investment in my oral health and because gum health affects other health conditions, this is a great investment and gift to myself overall. Worth every penny.

Used a regular toothbrush my whole life. Bought this toothbrush on a whim and it made me feel like I’d been living in the Stone Age the last 30 years. I love that it has 3 intensity settings, and several different modes to choose from when brushing. After using it for less than a week my teeth are whiter and my entire mouth feels cleaner. It’s less effort than old school brushing for better results. Comes with 2 brush heads and a tongue cleaning head, all of which are very effective. Highly recommend. I got it on prime day sale for $150. Still expensive but it was worth every penny.The battery lasts a long time on a single charge. I’ve been using it multiple times a day for nearly a week and just today the battery finally lost a small amount. Highly recommend using it with the app on your phone, at least when starting out. It guides you while you brush to make sure you do it right and has a timer so you brush for the correct amount of time on each section of teeth.tldr; it’s incredible, just get one

Absolutely love this toothbrush!Our dentist recommended we use Phillips Sonicare brushes and at first I was a bit skeptical. I order this about 1 year ago and waited to see how much I liked it before writing a review.After using it for a year, I'm not sure why I never checked one of these out before.Ergonomically, the base of the unit fits well in my hand and is easy to maneuver. The buttons are placed in great positions so I can change the brushing modes or intensity levels easily on the fly.I keep it on a shelf mounted in the battery charger at home, but I have travelled with it a few times and the battery holds a good charge for more than a few days easily. I've never had a situation where I've taken it with me and had it run out of battery.It cleans very nicely and isn't too bulky to have any issue reaching the back molars and has great maneuverability while brushing.I like the fact that it's not very loud as far as noise, and it has convenient 30 second notifications to let you know how long you've been brushing. I typically do one quadrant for 30 seconds for a total of 2 minutes, so it's nice to have the 30 second 'buzz' go off and let me know it's time to move.Two of the coolest features about this electronic toothbrush: (1) - the pressure sensor that let's you know if you're brushing too hard. It's easy to see the light come on when I tend to put too much pressure on the head. (2) I use it in the shower so it's nice that it's mainly waterproof (even if it's not sold as that in the description) but I have been using it in the shower for a while and it's not had any issues.The travel case is nice to have when you need to pack it up and head out on the road. I stay away from home about 4-5 times a year for work and it packs up really nicely and the case obviously keeps it protected.If I had one complaint it would be the unit cost and the replacement head cost. When I first looked them up, I thought the price was crazy!! But it's held up and continues to be my favorite toothbrush of my life, and I've had many in my 50 years on this planet.If you're thinking about getting an electronic toothbrush, this one definitely delivers.
