Philips Sonicare Diamondclean Smart Electric, Rechargeable Toothbrush For Complete Oral Care – 9300 Series, White, HX9903/01

I was lucky enough to receive this product for free in exchange for my unbiased review. I have been using a Sonicare electric toothbrush for over 8 years now and have loved it. This toothbrush, however, blows my old one out of the water. At first, I thought that there wouldn`t be anything a newer toothbrush could offer that I wasn`t already getting from my old Sonicare. I was wrong. This product comes with the ability to connect via Bluetooth to the app on your phone, which at first sounded like it would be more of a hindrance than an asset. I also thought it made the product seem pretentious. The handle also has the ability to recognize the type of brush head attached. All of this new technology made me worry that it would be wasting a lot of my time and probably be glitchy. But I had no such issues. The product manual mentioned some models have a USB charging cable on the travel case, which would be nice, but apparently, this model does not include. The travel case itself is nice as it is sturdy and molded to protect your investment. My previous model Sonicare had a flimsy cloth case and once got accidentally turned on while I was traveling. While the charging stand and glass look aesthetically pleasing, I would rather have just had a stand alone. I understand the glass has a separate purpose of using for rinsing, but for me, it is just one more thing I have to keep clean. This product can use 4 different types of brush heads but came with only 3 types: Premium Plaque Control, Premium Gum Care, and Premium White. (The other one is the Tongue Care, which I would not use anyway, as I use a metal scraper and would not want to change.) So far I have used all 3 heads a least 3 times, and I am very impressed. My teeth have never felt cleaner, except when I actually have a dental hygienist clean them. I like that the app can tell me in real time, along with the vibrational changes on the handle itself, when I am using improper pressure or too much movement. I also like that the app shows you exactly where to brush and for how long. With my old Sonicare, I used to count to estimate how much time I had left in each quadrant. No more counting needed! I also feel that it`s easy for me to tune out when I`m brushing my teeth and not pay attention to proper technique. With this handle and app combo, it keeps me awake and alert, which is a nice way to help me wake up in the mornings! I do wish that there was an allotment for the actual bite side (top) of the teeth. I end up just trying to squeeze that in between the insides and outsides. I also know of some Sonicare models that include a method to sanitize the brush heads. With the expense that this model costs, I`m surprised that was not included. Overall, however, I think the handle is comfortable and well constructed, as I have come to expect from Sonicare. I like that there are 4 different cleaning modes on the handle (clean, White, gum health, and deep clean) along with 3 different intensities to choose from. When you first attach a brush head, these settings are chosen for you, but you can easily adjust them as you like. Then there`s the app itself. It has all of the bells and whistles I could think of to help me get the most out of by brushing experience. It has reminders, real-time tracking of your brushing activity as well as the brush head performance, even links to purchase new brush heads when the time comes. You can customize the goals and the trouble areas in your mouth. I`m pretty impressed with the technology and as a self-proclaimed techie, that`s not easy to get out of me. This is a first-rate product, but it does come with a first-rate price. And the brush heads have their own new technology with them so they are a bit pricey as well. However, if you have the money, this is a solid investment and your dentist will probably be proud.

This is my review of the Philips DiamondClean Smart HX9903/11. I received a promotional sample in exchange for an honest review. This is a very nice toothbrush and is very high tech though the brushing process doesn`t have to be complicated. Turn on the power and brush until the handle automatically turns off. On the other hand, you can choose a specific brushing program (whitening, plaque removal, etc.) by installing the appropriate brush head, watch your brushing progress on the smartphone app in real time, and track your ongoing progress in the app if you like. Included are three different brush heads (each for a different purpose), a travel case, a rinsing glass, and a charger. The glass sits on top of the charger, and the brush handle sits base down for in the glass for charging. The brush handle is easy to hold and feels solid in my hand. After reading the easy to understand manual I installed the smartphone app and put the whitening head on the handle. The heads communicate with the handle so that the settings appropriate to the head are automatically set on the handle, and they are easy to snap onto and remove from the handle. Start the app before you grab the toothbrush and the app shows you where to brush and for how long, and indicates when you are brushing too hard. The brush handle also shows when you brush too hard by flashing an light and vibrating in a special way in case you are not using the smartphone app. The app tracks brushing habits and has a progress indicator to show how far you are in the goal you set. The app also points out areas where you didn`t brush enough and gives you a chance to go over those areas again at the end of the brushing cycle. It`s very easy to learn to brush better by using the app. As a long time Sonicare owner, this toothbrush is better than my old one in cleaning and additional functionality. It is very easy to use, cleans my teeth very well, and is a great tool for improving brushing habits. After brushing my teeth they feel almost like I`ve just come from the dentist. My only complaint is the `loose plastic` buzzing sound that occurs sometimes as I am brushing, which is minor. I will definitely recommend this model to my friends and family.

This is the only brush that makes my teeth look and feel clean. In addition, my teeth are much whiter since I started using it four months ago. My sister and brother-in-law got it for my birthday as they knew I had been searching for the perfect toothbrush. They both use one daily and love it too! Now I even travel with it as I was gone for a week traveling without it, and I could not get my teeth to feel clean. I couldn't wait to get home to my Philips DiamondClean Smart! Since then I have traveled with it twice, last thing to pack and first thing to unpack. It travels well in the case that comes with it! Thanks for this fine, dependable product.

I like the DiamondClean Smart electric toothbrush. My teeth feel so much cleaner than any other tooth brush I've ever used. I also like the program from Phillips that I downloaded to my smart phone. The only thing I'm very dissatisfied with is the special toothbrushes that came with the toothbrush. 2 of the 3 brushes didn't' last 2 weeks. Several of the individual bristles actually came unglued and fell out in my mouth while brushing (according to the results of my brushing per the downloaded Phillips sonicate program, I'm brushing correctly). I ended up throwing the 2 brushes away due to several other bristles were loose and ready to fall out. I'm using the 3rd brush now and it seems to be holding after a week.

I had a very early sonicare, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, it wore out? Did not work anymore. I purchased a new one because I liked the first. The new is good, the design is less, for example, the off on button which is in close proximity of the intensity button is the same shape with the same feel, easy to hit one instead of the other, that is rather lazy design. The app, has good qualities, in terms of showing how you are doing, but... it is too nagging, for instance if you only use it periodically, as I do, it tells you to use the app, and you get the red message indicator on the iPhone and you can' Turn it off unless the app is used, I finally deleted the app.

I've been pleased with the toothbrush and its many features. However, I am confused about when to replace the brush head. The very brief brochure describing the features only mentions that an icon will appear when it's time to replace the brush head. There's no mention of what the icon looks like. My brush head is getting worn but I haven't seen any icon other than the "Clean" light flashes when I finish brushing, but I don't know if that's the one telling me to change the brush head. Also the battery light goes on and off when it's time to charge, but again that isn't mentioned in the brochure, so I just figured it out intuitively.

I had a diamondclean for a couple of months that stopped working properlt adter a drop in the sink. I dis not register it for warantee protection and was a little disappintef that it was so succeptible yo famage by such a little mishap Nevertheless, i liked how it cleaned and bought another I find the iphone stnc business to be nothing more than a silly gimmick, and find your repeated prompts to synch my brushjead on the phone to be annoying Also, i liked the old brush's four X 30 second timing prompt cycle The new one seems to have six or more 20 second prompts It seems to be irregular, and one stopwatch experiment the cycles lasted for over 2.5 minutes. That is too long, and the multiple changes are a distraction. I find myself losing track and wondering, was that 4 or 5? Then shutting it down. 4 cycles - and two minutes seened easier to deal with and 2-minutes seemed plenty If there is a way to change this, let me kno

Save yourself the extra money, unless you really think that you need to hook your phone up to your toothbrush. Overpriced, overteched product. Have been a fan of Sonicare for over 20 years. but this is not necessary. I have never synced it with the app and never finish the extra long cycle.

I loved my sonicare toothbrushes over the years, but when it died, which all of mine have in about 2 years, I got the new one. I want to go back to the old one. Who cares if it flashes on the bottom and I could care less if there's an app, I just want my teeth to be and feel clean, and I think the diamond version I had before all the flashing was better. My teeth felt cleaner.

Very frustrating and unfortunate to spend 100's of dollars on a tooth brush where the iOS application crashes frequently and/or frequently won't connect to the toothbrush from the iOS application. iOS developer get crash reports of applications and it seems that Phillips doesn't look at these to discover why the application crashes in the middle of a brushing.
