Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart 9500: Your Choice

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!
