I’ve been using the same Philips Soniccare HX6250 for 8-9 years. It lasts about 2-3 weeks between charges.

My thoughts exactly. As long as it has the quad-pacer function, any Sonicare model will work fine. My $30 2000 series lasted 5 years before water got into it somehow and fried the electronics. I replaced it with a two pack of the same model and, 4 years later, I’m still on the first one.

I use smart plug. 1.5 hours charger every 2 days. It's a 2015 soniccare and still good. I had to open the other one to fix a rattle so I changed the batteries on both. Still same charging cycle

I love my sonicare. I went for the diamondclean back in 2022 and its still working fine. I don't really use the smart features, if those are important for you then I would get it. I mainly wanted the nice glass cup charging thing. Lets you have a cup for rising and have it be your charging base instead of one of the tiny obnoxious ones that likes to get knocked over. The pressure sensor is amazing, both have that but what I found was super helpful and not something I thought would be is the timer for when to brush where. The previous sonicare series 2 I used had 4 brushing zones. The 6 on the diamond clean seems to help a ton with making sure I brush properly. Partitions brushing time into 6 smaller sections 3 for top and 3 for bottom. I gifted my sister one (Flexcare+ which is discontinued) as well back in 2017 and hers just died a few months back if you wanted an idea on lifespan

Don’t buy the expensive model period (eta of the sonicare or oral b). They don’t last as long as they used to unfortunately. Don’t spring for anything over their $40-$50 one, unless you really want the extra features. It can take some getting used to, the sonic vibration made my cheeks and hand feel weird for a few minutes afterward for a week or two from the sonicare, but I don’t notice it anymore. I can’t stand the harder vibration of the oral bs. I also use floss picks because my fingers just refuse to floss well lol.

Oh sorry, that wasn’t clear. I meant there’s no real reason to go over the $40-50 sonicare or oral b. The have models that are ridiculously expensive that aren’t really worth the extra money imo.

A basic rechargeable sonic care or oral b. The more expensive versions have more bells and whistles but the basic models have the timer and they work the same in terms of cleaning. That information came directly from the sales rep that comes to our office. Either brand is fine that’s just personal preference.

Podle mého zubaře a dvou dentálních hygienistek u kterých jsem byl je sonický kartáček lepší než ty rotující hlavy od oral B a ja můžu jen potvrdit. Uz po prvním použití jsem mel pocit ze mam nejčistší zuby v životě. 😀 Co se značky týče tak za mě 100% Philips sonicare. Já mam svůj už takových 7 let a funguje jako nový, překvapivě ani baterka jeste neodešla. Postupně se mi povedlo přesvědčit oba rodiče a tři kamarády. Rodiče si 3 roky zpět koupili ty nejlevnější modely [přesně tyhle](https://www.alza.cz/philips-sonicare-3100-hx3671-13-d6929770.htm), kamarádi koupili nějaký model co se již nedělá. Takže celkově v mém okolí 6 kusů od Philips sonicare a zatím 0 problémů. V životě není moc věcí co bych 100% doporučil, ale tohle je jedna z nich.
