On average, we brush our teeth 730 times a year, so it's crucial to find an excellent toothbrush to maintain your dental health. Dentists often recommend electric toothbrushes over manual ones for their superior cleaning abilities, but they tend to be more expensive.
After testing numerous electric toothbrushes from top-rated brands like Oral-B and Suri, I discovered that this Philips electric toothbrush gave me a professional-level clean. While it's not the cheapest model around, it was a cut above the rest in terms of function and appearance, and is still going strong after a year of everyday use. The good news is it's currently £250 off in the Amazon sale, beating even the discount at Boots.
Typically setting you back £549.99, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige 9900 has been slashed to £296.79. Built with "SenseIQ" technology, it offers a range of high tech features and for me it was well worth the investment as a piece of kit you are going to use daily.
There are several aspects to the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige 9900 that reign it supreme in my eyes, with the first being just how clean it left my teeth feeling after use. Arguably top of the list of factors you want your toothbrush to achieve, the sonic technology pulses water between your teeth while brushing, breaking down any tricky to get to grime, and giving a professional feeling clean.
One of the main problems with switching to an electric toothbrush from a manual is that it is really easy to apply too much pressure that is not needed, which in turn can lead to costly gum and tooth damage. The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige 9900 eliminates that problem as it has a swanky app that uses artificial intelligence to sense motion, pressure and coverage as you brush. It then provides you with real-time guidance on your technique that you can use going forward.

I also adore how the Philips electric toothbrush looks - it's available in champagne or midnight and when placed on your bathroom side it has such a luxury feel to it. The travel case it comes with is slim and stylish, making it incredibly easy to travel with and ideal for those always on the go.
The Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Prestige 9900 is available in midnight blue as well as rose gold (Philips)This toothbrush also has several time settings depending on how long you want to brush your teeth for. Once you've chosen your mode, it will automatically turn off after the given time. I absolutely loved how this toothbrush let me know that it has been 30 seconds by momentarily stopping and I should move onto brushing the next section of my teeth. This is useful as your mouth is separated into four quadrants that need to be equally cleaned - guidance I learnt from using the app.
The brush head itself is an angled design - I have a few gaps between my teeth so found this to be an excellent shape to clean each tooth thoroughly. The brand says that this toothbrush provides 'sonic brushing' and I immediately noticed how much faster this toothbrush was compared to other electric devices. My teeth felt so clean after using it which is pretty much the top priority when it comes to buying a toothbrush. Philips DiamondClean Prestige also has an impressive battery life, lasting for two weeks of regular use, so if you do take it travelling for less than that time, you won't need to bring along the charger or worry about finding a charging port.
Shoppers are also big fans of the Philips device, with one person hailing it, 'probably the best electric toothbrush in the world.' They then went on to explain why, saying: "My dentist always compliments me on my oral hygiene so much so that at 57 years of age I have yet had to see a hygienist because, as my dentist can confirm my teeth are virtually plaque free. I attribute this solely to my Sonicare toothbrush."
Another user said: "My first use of the toothbrush felt like I’d been to the the hygienist, it cleans that well. It looks expensive and like a quality product, it feels lovely to use and has a great travel case. The app although a bit of a gimmick has some neat features like identifying areas you don’t clean as well or if you press to hard. The battery seems to last for over two weeks, and unlike another reviewer I confirm it alerts you before it goes flat."
It has been noted that 'annoyingly you only get one toothbrush head in this pack', but you can buy spares here. That's not to say that cheaper alternatives won't do the job - I also highly rate Spotlight Oral Care and their Sonic Toothbrush. It's been reduced by 40% to £66 in their summer sale. For a sustainable toothbrush that will protect the planet as well as your teeth, you can now save £15.75 off the SURI Electric Toothbrush on Amazon.
