    Philips Sonicare has long been (arguably) the best electric toothbrush. Does adding Bluetooth make it better? AppleInisider checks out the Sonicare DiamondClean 9300 model (and even compares it to the 9500 and 9700) to find out.

    What do you think of the DiamondClean Smart? Is Bluetooth still just a gimmick?

      AppleInsider Sounds like the Bluetooth is just a timer, it doesn’t have any kind of sensors telling toothbrush where it is in the mouth or if something was really cleaned or not, it just sees toothbrush is on and to brush each section for 20 seconds. So why have Bluetooth? Any toothbrush can have a timer, what does the Bluetooth do?

      Oral b works better than Sonicare. Due to the fact that Oral b round brushes adapt to the teeth better than sonicare. The only thing you gotta do with an Oral b is to hold it over a tooth surface.
      Outer Surface: Hold the toothbrush over the tooth point towards the gum line for that tooth czcams.com/video/c_Akc3x8BnQ/video.html

      I had mine for 2 years. The toothbrush is really nice but the app is horrible and full of bugs. It never connects and never shows where the toothbrush is in the mouth. It's amazing how horrible the the apps 2 years later.

    Mother in law got the whole family the 9700 series on sale . I noticed the brush heads go out eventually virtually not physically by that it makes it seem like a your battery on the device is not charging simply change the head on ur device and you will get the 3 bars of power instead of 1 on the last few uses on your head. What I do is I use the same head that is apparently "old" and I throw it on a different device in the house "my lady's handle" and it doesn't recognise that the old head is used up so it go's back to full power by default.

    I just bought one like this but the $30 version. I put it near my boom touch speaker and it made a loud buzzing noise that sounded like the noise the brush made but amplified which makes me wonder if this brush can be modded to play music. I may try that when this thing kicks the bucket.

    Setting goals for brushing teeth... Now I've heard it all! Not sure I need one, but thanks for the great review!

    • @AppleInsider
      @AppleInsider  Před 5 lety +4

      Goals are essentially a way of "gamifying" the experience. By creating goals, streaks, etc it gives people more incentive to keep going. Similar to those on the Apple Watch to get people to stand or exercise. It is proven to work a subtle aspect to it. Custom goals can also detail things people wish to improve. Such as focusing on a certain area in the mouth. The app will allocate additional time to these "goal zones" to make sure they get properly cleaned, without neglecting the rest of the mouth. -Andrew

    • @JDW-
      @JDW- Před 5 lety +3

      Thank you for the clarification about "gamifying" the experience. I'm a bit old school in that I've taken care of my teeth through my 47 years on earth without the need for games (and I've yet to have a single cavity), but if this electronic toothbrush helps the younger generation avoid cavities, then such makes it worthwhile in the end. Regardless, I appreciate your excellent review.

    This toothbrush has an outrageously bad "privacy" policy. The app, and therefore all the "smart" features, will not run unless the user signs off on unrestricted archiving, use, and third-party sharing of all the information the the app and and toothbrush gather, and this information is detailed and ongoing. There's no ability to opt out of this without disconnecting the app from the toothbrush and giving up the "smart" features that you paid for. This policy is far more uncompromising and intrusive than those for other devices like Fitbit smart watch, Withings health devices, or Apple Watch.

    • @sedona687
      @sedona687 Před 3 lety

      Agree Chris, we all to often "trust" apps since we are so busy with other things. But we need to aware of our information being siphoned off without our knowledge. Battery life issues, no warranty help from Philips, etc.
      I just went back to trying to manually brush 3X a day, salt water rinse, and floss after each meal. A little more inconvenient but no tech issues to bother with. And my GUM brand brush was $3.95.

      I finally bought one. So the toothbrush can detect where it’s positioned in your mouth the same way a Nintendo wii remote can detect how it’s oriented. Works alright, not perfect, but it can tell if you’re brushing back or the front of teeth but can’t tell if you’re brushing the top or bottom of your front teeth
