- How is the DiamondClean 9700 different from the 9900?
- The 9700 sits just below the 9900 in Sonicare's lineup and drops a few premium extras while keeping the SenseIQ pressure sensing and app coaching. Both clean similarly; the 9900 adds features most people won't miss.
- Do I need the app to use it?
- No. The brush works on its own with its built-in modes and pressure feedback. The app adds coverage maps and coaching, which many owners use for a few weeks and then drop.
- Is it good for sensitive gums?
- Yes. The pressure sensor reduces intensity when you press too hard, and the gum care mode is gentler. Several owners say their gums bled less after switching.
- What brush heads does it take?
- It uses Sonicare's click-on heads, including the premium brush heads sold for the DiamondClean line. Heads are proprietary, so plan on replacing them every few months.
- How does it compare with Oral-B iO?
- The Sonicare is quieter and feels gentler, while Oral-B's iO brushes use a round oscillating head that some prefer for a polished feel. Both have pressure sensors and app coaching; pick based on which brushing feel you like.
- What comes in the box?
- The brush handle, a charging glass, a travel case and a brush head. A USB charging base is included for travel.
