Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Sonic electric toothbrush HX9331/32

I bought my first one in 2013 and it lasted until 2015 (2yrs, then it went dead and wouldn't re-charge). It was a very good electric toothbrush while it lasted so I got another, which lasted until 2020. The third one one gave out in January 2022, so a little over a year and the vibration mechanism became unsteady, rattling all over the place. Switched to an Oral-b Genius, a bit less expensive and doesn't have the sonic technology but maybe the next best thing. To Sonicare's credit, they then replaced their last one, which was still within the 2-yr guarantee. (So I ended up with two toothbrushes.) Both brands clean the teeth and additionally have lots of semi-redundant electronics. A year or so later of using both, I’ve updated my review to give a higher rating, the reason is this: The main competitor, the Oral-b, is a good brush but like a jack hammer compared to the Sonicare. It has a warning light to tell you if you’re “pressing too hard” but that doesn’t alter the fact that it works basically by pounding your teeth. It’s like a very upmarket version of any cheaper electric toothbrush. The Sonicare takes a couple of weeks to get used to — the instructions point this out and suggest an initial lower setting: it’s a sort of tingling vibration as it sends the water between your teeth. But after getting used to both, I found the Sonicare far preferable. It’s a gentle sensation, whereas the Oral-b feels more violent. I end up using the Sonicare for the full two minutes finding it enjoyable whereas the Oral-b is far less pleasant and the temptation is to skip. So it costs more. It doesn’t last forever. But if you’re happy with that I think it’s a better product.

I'm a recent convert to electric toothbrushes (with this one), and wishing I'd made the move years ago. I thought I cleaned my teeth pretty well with a manual brush, but now it's permanently like I've just had a visit to the hygienist. The brush comes with a charging stand that plugs into a bathroom socket, and also with a travel case that charges via USB. I've only used the case to transport it so far, not for charging, but it feels decent quality and protects the handle and brush head nicely. The scant instructions which came in the box didn't mention anything about when to charge it or how long for, but when it needs a charge (normally after a couple of weeks) the handle buzzes a couple of times when you turn it off. It then seems to need around 24 hours of charging (the light on the handle goes from orange to green when it's done). (I've been assuming) you can still use it in the middle of a charge, then pop it back in the stand to carry on charging. One slight negative for me: the brush head it came with must've been faulty, I think, as it got looser and looser after a few weeks, and kept coming off mid-brush. I swapped it out for a new one, and it's been absolutely fine since, so think the first one was just a duff.

10 out of 10 ! - fantastic, having used it now for a month I can honestly say it's the best ever toothbrush I have used [and I'm 57]. Pro's - Battery life is easily as advertised and great for travel covering well over 2 weeks using twice a day for most days. Very light and comfortable for its size. Vast improvement in the whiteness of my teeth - many years a smoker and a tea/coffee addict.... Try using Janina toothpaste with this! Big Plus!! - no more gum bleeding!!! - this I just can't believe, I thought it would be very harsh - but no! glide slowly over all your teeth. Various programs/setting and they actually do something different each setting. Charging time about a mere 5-6 hours to full - then run for at least 3 weeks. Glass charger cup/chrome small base nice in the bathroom Travel case as standard and charges by USB while inside the neat case. Cons - For me only one and at the price I paid for this [cyber Monday £74.99] its not really a complaint - replacement original brush heads are £30 for 4 and supposed to last 3 months then recommended to change them, however I got 2 replacement original diamondclean heads from Asda for £12 when on offer from £19.99 for 2. Only comes with 1 toothbrush head as standard All in all super buy - super item and I would definitely recommend..

The product as expected arrived in a good time as expected from Amazon. This was ordered as 2 separate Electric Toothbrush as Philips had limited options for a dual pack used for a family. this replaced a Braun Electicial toothbrush, The first observation on the use of the electric toothbrush was the rotation of the brush on the Braun regularly resulted in a splash of toothpaste etc from your mouth, the Philps while intense did not appear to a have the same effect but did the same job in cleaning your teeth, The battery when fully charged lasted over 10 days leaving the travel case nice but a gimmick not required for over a week, The USB charger cable of the case is old fashioned and not compatible with any modern phone resulting in another cable to be carried if traveling. The glass which fits on the top of the charger looks nice and easy to clean with little practical use. The most annoying part of the brush is the one-button option which had 5 modes. When attempting to change from option 1 Clean, to option 5 deep clean, and leave the charger on the deep clean option there is no stop option but regularly go around in circles to get to the option required. The manual stated, Removes up to 10x more plaque than a Manual toothbrush this is certainly better than most manual brushes and electric brushes I have used over the years but unless based in a laboratory 99% of the purchaser will never know the difference, The handle is comfortable to hold and use. This electrical toothbrush is on the top end on the electrical toothbrush range which is a brand I have trusted over several years, If cost is not your 1st priority can ‘t fault this toothbrush, in terms of comfort in use or the core job of cleaning your teeth from a trusted brand.

Pratique Bonne utilisation avec minuteur automatique de marche/arret

Die Zahnbürste kam aus Großbritannien, daher kann sie nur mit Adapter betrieben werden. Auch ist die Ladestation anders wie bei uns. Da sie aus GB kam musste ich lange darauf warten. Sonst ist die Zahnbürste top

Folgendes Email habe ich heute an Philips geschrieben: S.g. Damen und Herren, Können Sie mir bitte erklären, was es mit der Qualität ihrer Geräte auf sich hat! Pünktlich nach 2,5 Jahren ist die in 2021 erstandene elektrische Zahnbürste wieder kaputt. Dieses Mal ist der Stift locker, auf dem die Zahnbürste sitzt. Das kann es doch nicht sein? In Zeiten, wo man nur noch von Klimaschutz und Ressourcenverschwendung redet, produzieren Sie Produkte, die nach 2 Jahren den Geist aufgeben!!! Und das jetzt schon das 4. Mal in Serie. (Siehe Emailverkehr im Anhang) Ich bin mehr als enttäuscht, dass eine Zahnbürste, die 180€ kostet eine derartige Lebensdauer hat!

Langlebigkeit ist was anders... Meine Zahnbürste ist noch einem halben Jahr defekt Die Zahnbürste meines Mannes hat zumindest die üblichen 2Jahre und 1Monat gehalten (reparieren kann man allerdings schon... Deshalb nicht ganz raus geworfenes Geld) Allerdings sollte man sich wohl fragen wo man das Gerät kauft... 3. Anbieter sind nicht hilfreich

UK-Ware, oder sonst etwas... kein Artikel von und für den deutschen Markt. Steckdose nicht kompatibel! Sehr enttäuscht!
