While this model lacks the pressure sensor and smart brush heads of newer models, which automatically set the toothbrush to the best mode and power setting, you still get excellent cleaning performance and a brilliant USB travel case. Why buy the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean?Īlthough this model is being phased out, currently it’s an absolute bargain. In particular, the Sensitive and Gum modes drop the brush’s power down, making it easier to tackle more sensitive areas and still get them clean. Having the other programmes to choose from provides a wider range of cleaning options than available with many other toothbrushes. Impressively, I measured the toothbrush’s high-pitched buzz at just 68.2dB, which shows how quiet it is. At the end of cleaning, my teeth looked clean and felt fresh. Using the toothbrush on myself, I found it easy to manoeuvre, with the mid-sized brush head fitting around my teeth and able to reach to the back of the mouth easily enough. At the end, there was no trace of my test food left behind. I was impressed with the results, with theAdaptiveClean head, powered by the Sonic toothbrush, gently lifting out food debris from between the teeth, polishing away the stains. This model can produce up to 62,000 brush movements per minute. With the test teeth loaded up with beetroot and spinach, I tested the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean to see how well it cleans. Philips Sonicare DiamondClean – Brush performance Around every three months should be average. Indicator bristles slowly lose their colour, prompting you to change a head. Replacement heads are quite expensive at around £35 for a pack of four. Philips provides a single AdaptiveClean brush head, which has a combination of bristles for cleaning in and around your teeth, and a more compact core for whitening and polishing. A charge light at the bottom of the brush warns you when the battery is running low, so you can avoid running out of juice mid-clean. Once charged, the toothbrush should last around three weeks before requiring a top up. Philips provides a two-pin USB adapter in the box and a mini-USB cable, but any USB charger will do the job. It’s a shame that the plastic toothbrush protectors don’t fit into the case, though. For travel, there’s a USB-powered charging case, which can hold the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean and two toothbrush heads. It’s a cool-looking charger that will suit a high-end bathroom. The toothbrush ships with a neat perspex stand that sits on top of a metal wireless charger. After two minutes the toothbrush turns off automatically, unless you’ve selected a longer cleaning mode.


For standard cleans, the toothbrush will pulse every 30 seconds, nudging you to move onto the next quadrant of your mouth. This mode can be deactivated (or reactivated) by holding down the power button for two seconds while the brush is in its charger.Īs with most other models, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean has a built-in timer. Whitening is designed to polish up your teeth Sensitive gives you a more gentle clean Gum Care helps keep your gums healthy by adding a one-minute gentle clean to the end of a regular brush and Deep Clean gives a more intensive three-minute clean.īy default, the toothbrush comes in Easy-start mode, which offers 14 cleaning cycles, gently increasing power as time goes on, allowing you to get used to the brush. A single push starts the regular clean, but you can press again for different modes. The toothbrush is operated by a single button on its front. Its matte-black body certainly gives it that “means business” look.
