I'd been waiting for a 20% off eBay deal to include Shaver Shop again - and hoping they wouldn't jack any of their already discounted prices - which it appears they havn't
So we have a pretty decent price for this premium Sonicare toothbrush

get diamondclean - ur dentist will love you ( or may be hate you coz he wont be making money )
I avoid the dentist at all costs 🤣 hmm…
Indeed - I had a sequence of Oral B electric brushes for many years and then switched over to the Philips Sonicare about two (now three) electric toothbrushes ago - have been very happy. The Oral B's were completely fine but I did notice the Sonicare's did a better job once I switched.
My first was a "normal" Sonicare (not the DiamondClean) and that's the one that has now died (battery most likely) and is the one my kids use in their bathroom (I'd upgraded to a DiamondClean (the previous/original model)). Now they get my older DiamondClean and I get the new one :)
Fine…you've all convinced me.
oral-b's remove more plaque from various reviewed studies i think.
Bought this last time, its good! Comes with cup with wireless charging pad, carrying case for travel and a few more brushes. It's reallly good quality
I was in the same position late last year and then ebay had a 20% promotion at the same time Philips had a $50 cashback which made the Diamond Care very close to the Orab-B 9000 price point so I gave the Philips a go. Must say I've been very happy with the brush. Much quieter than my old brush, I like that it resembles a traditional brush, the apps not too bad when I bother to use it (not very often) and in general the build quality and styling is really great.
If I had any complaint its that the brush heads are a bit harder to come by and stores like Shaver Shop can be inconsistent with stock if you want a specific head, at least in the ACT. They also cost more than the Oral B.
I otherwise like the brush a lot although my prior Oral B was about 8 years old so I haven't tried a newer model such as the 7-90000's to compare what current Oral B's are like (I'd replaced the battery myself about 2 or 3 times over that period, the battery that came with it died a long time ago). I did go through a lot of reviews before making the decision and costs aside, about 80% of what I read seemed to prefer the Philips while Oral B was still a very good candidate.
The carry case for this specific model with its integrated USB cable is also super nice should you need to travel with it.
Yeah sweet. Went ahead and made the purchase. Have you attempted using/finding any cheaper alternatives to the genuine Philips heads?
I havn't (used any of the clone ones - at least not that I know of :)). I have ordered some on special from Peters of Kensington (when they had them on sale) and also some from Amazon (AU) (also on sale)
@beaver2233: Not sure but I paid $27 for a pack of two of the newer style diamond clean heads on an Amazon sale (not including the extra cashback, etc)
No I haven’t. I’ve purchased heads when on sale on eBay 20% sales. Costco also does them occasionally but I’m yet to grab any on sale there.
I used the Mrs' sonicare diamondclean and was not impressed. Very pretty toothbrush and charging dock but I feel my teeth were still fluffy AF even after a second round.
Back to my 3 year old cheapie old fashioned grout brush.
I got a Flexcare Platinum Bluetooth. The app is total crapp. Connecting to it every time is so unreliable, eventually I got frustrated and stopped using it.
Also, it doesn't register your brushing all the time, so you need to repeat it and touch up a lot for them to be happy.
It's showing as 299 instead of 239 for me, how do I get to the correct value?
Use the code PASSIONATE at checkout.
Really want one for $240 but not paying $350… price-jacked.
Yep, looks like it's back at $439?
Hmm, looking at upgrading my Oral-B 7000? (i think). Battery is pretty much dead (has been for a while); and thus the RPM has dropped dramatically.
Not sure whether or not to go this route (Philips) or Oral-B 8/9000 (~$150).
