Our verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Philips Sonicare Prestige 9900 is the ultimate choice, it represents the best of Sonicare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From my testing, I feel that it is the best smart toothbrush available today. It has a comprehensive range of features and a great travel case. It cleans the teeth exceptionally well, whilst looking good and feeling great in the hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously I had recommended the DiamondClean Smart 9400 as the best overall choice as it struck the balance between performance, features and price. Compared to the 9900, little is sacrificed. However, there is no longer such a difference in price, so the 9900 is a stronger consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DiamondClean 9000 has fewer features but still has the essential ones you need. I can vouch for it cleaning the teeth just as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, all three brushes all cleaned my teeth equally well as one another. The differences in features had a small impact on user experience, but not my overall dental health. <\/p>\n\n\n

Does one clean better than the other?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No. They all clean the teeth comparably. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want to be pedantic, there is an argument that the DiamondClean Smart and Prestige models may achieve better results than the DiamondClean 9000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because of the educational tools and data they offer over the 9000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 9000 tracks and logs some of your brushing habits, but it does not track and display your brushing in real time. It won\u2019t show you areas of the mouth and teeth you haven\u2019t brushed, whereas the others do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are committed to monitoring this information, you can learn to improve your brushing technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, ultimately this is making you a better brusher. The brush itself is not cleaning the teeth any better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, it is a lot of effort for very little gain. I\u2019ve got all these models and more. Do I use the tracking data and log into the app regularly? No, I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People who have bought these models and similar ones have said the same thing to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tech isn\u2019t necessarily a waste, but there is no point paying for and having it unless you will use it to the point where it is beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brushes I recommend in our best electric toothbrush<\/a> post are far cheaper and can still brush your teeth just as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
