Kb27 Supersonic September 11, 2019 Share September 11, 2019 What I observed is that : Oral B - oscillates left down, up right and vice versa. There's also some holes on the head, presumably for water to escape. Philips - just go straight left, right, left, right. I drip water over the brush and it's quite obvious, the water spray swing left and right. This head does not have holes. I used the Philips toothbrush and the compatible for a few months now. They appear to last a long time, much longer than Oral B. Perhaps, it's the bristle movement that plays a part. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveluv Twincharged September 25, 2019 Share September 25, 2019 Lazada just delivered a new toothbrush to me yesterday another Xiaomi Soocas but their new model X5 X3 come with the electric brush and 3 brusheads but the X5 comes with a travel box and a cup, travel box will be important. According to writeup the X5 is quieter than the X3 and comes with adjustable intensity. Speed is same as X3. Brush heads Tried it out a few minutes ago its definitely quieter than X3. I intensity adjustment is an advantage for those who has sensitive gums who want to tone down the intensity, I like this feature. Overall it cleans as good as the X3. At $80 a set its really worth it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set functions and included accessories seem very similar to sonicare flagship diamondclean series. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count-Bracula Twincharged September 25, 2019 Share September 25, 2019 I am using Systema ultrasonic tooth brush, it runs on one AAA battery. Got it from pharmacy for < S$15. Not bad lah. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set functions and included accessories seem very similar to sonicare flagship diamondclean series. Good buy. There are some differences between the X5 and Diamondclean (I'm using this too) Speed - X5 is 37,000/min vs Diamondclean 62,000/min. Honestly I cannot notice the difference as I think its beyond the ability for us to tell at such high speed. Whats more important is tooth must be clean and both cleans equally well. Storage Box - both boxes looked the same however the Philips Diamondclean box acts as a charger too and I love this convenience when I travel I could charge the toothbrush directly from the box no need to bring extra charging base. The X3 that I had been using for a few months I only charged once so I think I wont have to bring any charger too. Its amazing how long the batter of the Soocas toothbrush lasts. Cost - X3 costs only $50 while the new X5 $80, the Philips Diamondclean costs $240 I think. Decision is easy. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diamondclean series have just a small depression at the base and just drop into the charging glass and it will charge. The entry levels sonicare has a hole at the bottom that you have to place over the charging base's protruding stub. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianli Hypersonic September 26, 2019 Share September 26, 2019 Errr............why no wireless charging??? So that the toothbrush can be fully sealed and waterproof. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wireless... No metal contact points. All inductive charging tech. Just that the entry models probably need to be in precise approximation to the charging coil within the charger base. The diamondclean flagship has a better more efficient charging tech? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's probably water resistance. Anyway u won't really get the base wet one lah. I put my toothbrush horizontally to dry. Anyway my toilet no electrical point (thought it would be a hazard when i designed my toilet). So i charge at my dressing table. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Phillips Sonicare Diamondclean charges through the box and the glass sitting on the base, I only use the box to charge never with the glass. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, for a person who is using both, they are equally good and if you don’t really need the box and the 3 speed features the X3 that costs $50 cleans equally well. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Oral B Is better than Philip after a few more weeks of usage? Philip brushhead lasts longer, if it cleans better, i will switch after I have used up all my Oral B brushheads, still have > 20 of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip brushhead lasts longer, if it cleans better, i will switch after I have used up all my Oral B brushheads, still have > 20 of them. I only use Philips liao. I prefer philips as it pulses the toothpaste fluid around your teeth and through the gaps. And i predominantly have gum disease rather than cavities in my teeth. I don't really think it lasts longer if u don't overbrush. Cos i was using the Oral B head for several weeks before the philips arrive. It looks essentially new even though i stopped using it. If u are wearing out the oral B heads faster than 3 months, then u are overbrushing. My wife is still using the Oral B. She no complaints, so maybe the oral B one let her keep and use lor. But if my kids start using, then i will start them on sonicare. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
