Is there a significant or noticeable difference in cleaning ability between the Diamond Clean heads VS. other Sonicare brush heads?

I notice a difference from the basic brush heads. The diamond stimulates the gum line more.

I'm under the impression that it has more to do with how they fit on the unit rather than how they clean, but I've only owned the Diamond Clean Sonicare.

I think they are smaller and can get to the back of you mouth to clean you teeth better.

I have used a Phillips Sonicare for years and years and think it is great! A couple of years I "updated" since the one I had was several years old. I think the unit is overall improved. I would guess the brush heads would have improved also. I don't know if they are the only heads that will fit on the Diamond Clean. I've just always gotten the head that matched my unit.

Yes; the plaque buildup seems to be less. Each time I go to the dentist, they now comment about how little plaque buildup there is. I believe this is also helping the gum tissue not to recede. Ron H

We have been using Sonicare for many years. I bought the battery-powered toothbrush, since it's much more convenient. I have some brushheads from the maybe 10 year old rechargeable, and they fit, and work. I've not actually used them on a daily basis, but I did try one. I'm not surprised that Philips try to sell new brushes, and for all I know, the older style brushes don't work as well as the new style. Doesn't matter to me - usable or not - I love the new battery unit!

I have never used the dual clean head so I can't comment on that. However, I like the floss action head am using that as my own standard toothbrush head. I suggest that you buy both heads and compare them to decide which one you prefer.

Look at the shape of your Sonicare brush head and compare it to the brush heads shown on the replacement package. The Amazon Webpage has some great examples. The E Series brush heads have a wide, deep base. Other replacement heads have a narrow, shallow base (such as the ProResults, Diamondclean, and Healthy White).

No doesn't pulse by quadrant that's a silent count to us old Army folk. So it pulses after two minutes that's the maximum time needed to brush. Sorry sonicare was a bit more costly. But I guess the replacement type of heads caught my attention. Take care.

I've a Phillips Sonicare HX6063/64 toothbrush, which has only one adjustment speed. It's easy on my teeth and gums, but I also have a Phillips Sonicare Diamond/Clean 300 Series toothbrush, which provides 5 setting modes, including 'Sensitive'. If sensitivity is an issue, it would be a good choice. I like both models, however.

I believe the only differences are a different stand that holds an 'additional' brush head on it,as well as a different setting that is 'supposed' to make your teeth whiter(which I highly doubt.The vesrion that's $100 less also has that setting on it as well.I'd simply stick with the one that's the least expensive.Go look at the difference in your local drugstore if you want to 'see' the difference,otherwise play it smart.You'd be spending an extra $100 on basically nothing.

Both my wife and I use the Arm and Hammer 'Spinbrush Pro Whitening heads and the Pro Clean Net brush heads The Pro Recharge brush heads will also fit this unit. I don't have a preference and it's difficult to tell the difference except for the color. I just purchase what's available or less expensive.

I found it to have slightly firmer bristles than the genuine heads, but not much firmer. It also appears to have fewer bristles. These head's bristles do not seem to soften with use.

I bought the whole package when I bought mine. But after a while I put the santizer piece in the cabinet and just use the travel charger. I never had a sanitizer for my regular toothbrush. I think it is a way for them to make more money off of the consumer, my opinion. I purchased one for my son for Christmas and just got the tooth brush with the portable charger (comes with it) for $89 minus twenty percent coupon and they are offering a rebate right now. Bed Bath and Beyond have all you need. About the Diamondclean, you can purchase the diamondclean heads and they fit on the flexcare plus. The diamondhead is just a stiffer bristle brush and I like it a lot. I will continue to buy the diamond clean replacement brushes as I like a stiffer bristle brush! Hope this has helped! SLA

Sorry, James, we don't know the difference between the two models. We can tell you that ours cleans very well, but does NOT hold a charge. We need to charge the machine before and after each use to keep it reliably available whenever we need a quick clean-up...don't know if that's true in general or if it's a quirk of our particular sweeper.

I find no difference with the noise. I have been using the brush for a month and my device seems fine.

I've used generic brand brush heads for this toothbrush before, and they were very loud. I wonder if the ones you got weren't certified Sonicare ones.

There is no indication of it being a soft head so it must be a standard one. I've used the Sonicare E-Series for many years and I've never had a problem with the bristles being too hard. I'm pleased with it and according to my dentist, it keeps my teeth healthy and clean.

Dual clean is better because it flosses after it loosens and partially cleans past a standard brush. One device does the work of 2 separate tools.

I went to the dentist yesterday and I was wondering if they would see a difference in my teeth and gums since the sonicare brushes and heads have changed. Everything was fine. The hygienist said I did a really good job on my teeth. I guess the sonicare toothbrushes are still really good.

I love my Philips Sonicare and have had no other brand. I have two models of Sonicare...one that I have had for several years and one that I bought this past year. I do not think you could go wrong with any model. Check out how much the replacement brushes cost. That might make a difference for you as you should not use a toothbrush more that three months or when the blue tip of the brush is no longer blue.
