Review: Philips Sonicare DiamondClean

When you go to the dentist, does the hygienist complain about your plaque buildup, and then spend the next 30 minutes putting you through pure hell? Switch to an electric toothbrush, and you can avoid this torture!

My Dad’s been using electric toothbrushes for as long as I can remember, but for some reason I stuck with my manual toothbrush. It was only after a number of expensive dental procedures (fillings, crowns and root canals) that I wised up and made the switch to Sonicare. Since then, my mouth has been the pillar of health.

When it came time to replace my trusty Sonicare Elite, I decided to go with their top-of-the-line model, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean HX9332/05. This is the Rolls Royce of electric toothbrushes, taking your teeth to a new level of clean. It looks the part too, with a beautiful ceramic white finish (with backlit lettering), a glass induction charger, and a USB charging travel case.

The Sonicare DiamondClean delivers more brush strokes in two minutes than a manual can deliver in one month, removing up to 7X more plaque and whitening teeth more than 2X better than a manual.

The following video shows you what makes the DiamondClean so special:

Unlike most electric toothbrushes, there are five modes to choose from on the DiamondClean. The default is “Clean” with a simple two-minute brush, while “White” adds an extra thirty seconds on top for you to give the front teeth some extra attention. “Polish” is a minute session of intensive front-teeth buffing, while “Gum Care” pairs the “Clean” experience with a further minute of gentler gum massage. Finally, “Sensitive” ramps down the enthusiasm of the Sonicare system for those with sensitive teeth and gums. Pressing the power button cycles through each mode in turn, then shuts the toothbrush off.

I’ve been using the Sonicare DiamondClean for about a month now, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. The different brushing modes is a huge benefit over my old brush, and the glass charging station is pretty trick as well. Older Sonicare users will appreciate the new head design that doesn’t allow for water and gunk to get trapped, meaning no more nasty cleanup. That itself is worth the price of admission for me.

The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean retails for $219.99, and they even offer a 28-day money back guarantee, so you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain!
