I love the deep clean mode they have on the 9300 models and above. That said, the 7500 series has the same deep clean but they only trigger it for the last 30 seconds of a 2 minute brush cycle, it's literally a paywall.
For that reason, I do really like the DiamondClean series, but heavy asterisk!
I prefer Philipps sonic care expert. Very good brush. But defintly not for live. Battery will die at some point and the color in my black brush startet to fade at the leds
I'm going against the grain to say Sonicare. I have both brushes. The design of the IO brush head has a small hole under the bristles where spit and toothpaste accumulates. Despite taking my brush head off and rinsing after every use, it quickly molds on the inside. It could be that I live in a humid environment (indoors usually 40%), but the mold is so gross. If you don't remove and clean it after every use it can mold even quicker. I love the feeling of the IO brush otherwise, but am sticking with Sonicare for everyday use.
I had the Rolls Royce Sonicare that was like $200 and it broke just like you said within a couple years. Replaced it with the $60 version and it’s lasted way longer. Dentist said those super expensive ones are just so rich people can feel like they’re doing a better job than most.
I also changed how I brush. I used to press down pretty hard and go back and forth super fast like I would with a manual toothbrush. Started just moving slowly over the teeth with medium pressure at most, and I think that has contributed to the longevity as well.
