- Is the DiamondClean Smart 9700 worth it over cheaper Sonicare brushes?
- The cleaning action is similar to mid-range Sonicare models. The 9700 adds Bluetooth coaching, brush head recognition, more modes and a charging case. Buy it if you want those; otherwise a simpler Sonicare does the core job.
- How does it compare with the 9500 and 9900?
- The 9700 sits near the top of the DiamondClean Smart line. It has the same sonic cleaning and pressure sensor as the 9500, with app features and a charging case; the 9900 adds a UV sanitizer and tongue-care extras. Choose by which accessories you will actually use.
- Do I have to use the app?
- No. The brush works on its own, and the handle buttons change modes and intensity. The app adds coverage tracking and personalized coaching, which many owners stop using after a few weeks.
- How long does the battery last?
- Most owners get about two weeks of twice-daily brushing per charge. Heavy app use and high intensity shorten that.
- What is in the box?
- The handle, a charging travel case, a charging base and a starter brush head. Extra heads are sold separately.
- Is it good for sensitive gums?
- Yes. The Gum Health mode and lower intensity settings are gentler, and the pressure sensor pulses when you press too hard.
