Effective, but not necessarily an improvement over previous generations Nov 16, 2011
By Blowfish
Let me preface this review by saying that I have used Sonicare toothbrushes ever since the very first generation, probably more than 12-years ago. I've gone through all of the multiple generations (including the sanitizer), replacing my brush when it was time to get a new one (i.e. when they started to smell!).
I was probably expecting too much from these replacement heads, since they did not overwhelm me. I've been using one of these new Diamondclean bush heads for about a month now. While they seemed a little stiffer at first than the regular FlexCare replacement heads, now the Diamondclean brush head is really no different to me. My mouth doesn't feel any cleaner than with the regular Flexcare brush heads. It makes sense to me that the diamond-shaped bristles would clean better, but my experience doesn't justify any additional expense for these brush heads. My most recent check on Amazon.com has these brush heads going for nearly twice the cost of the regular.
In my humble opinion, this Diamondclean "improvement" is likely a vertical-marketing technique to justify charging more for the replacement brushheads, lining Philips' deep pockets even further. Philips revolutionized brushing teeth with the original toothbrush, but in my opinion, while these Diamondclean heads are good, they aren't revolutionary like the original Sonicare was. I would not spend the money on these in the future, just like I wouldn't buy their "sanitizer" again either.

 Not Sold On Superiority to Standard Sonicare Oct 27, 2011
By S. WIlliams
We are longtime Sonicare users and have found that their brush unit and replacement heads have continued to improve in the decade or so we've been fans. These new-model brush replacements head fit every current Sonicare unit and work very well. Teeth feel dentist clean after a brush and I've got no complaints at all, other than if you really give up flossing while using these heads, you'll probably regret it.
My only quibble is that I'm not convinced they do a better job than any brand new Soniccare replacement head does in its first few uses. The product is already so good that it's really hard to tell the slight difference, if any, these new design heads make. Whiter teeth? Better gums? No flossing required? All are pretty heft claims.
Yes, I think Sonicare units, overall, do a FAR superior job than a manual toothbrush, even with daily flossing, but you're clearly better off with belt and suspenders ... You do still need to floss and if you're a regular Crest Strip (or other brand) user, you're not going to throw those away in favor of these brush heads.
So, my overall impression is, couldn't hurt, but isn't really necessarily a big step up from the standard brush heads either ... Though I assume it won't be long before those heads are phased out and these become the standard.
UPDATE AFTER THREE WEEKS OF USE: After using one of these brushes for about three weeks I wanted to update the review above to note that these brushes, which at first felt like they did a better job (cleaner) than regular Sonicare heads, seemed to wear out much, much faster. While I usually get 2-3 months of use out of standard Sonicare brush head, the Diamond Clean seemed to break down much faster and required replacing in just one month. Given the cost this means I can't recommend this style of brush head, though I'm still a big Sonicare fan.

Very good replacement brush heads, but not a dramatic improvement over the standard ones Oct 31, 2011
By Dr. Bojan Tunguz
These are the replacement brush heads that go with Philips Sonicare FlexCare, FlexCare+, DiamondCare, HealthyWhite, and EasyClean Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush. I have been extremely satisfied with FlexCare toothbrush and have been using regular brush heads for years, and have been very satisfied with the overall experience. These heads are the replacement for the standard size head that came with the toothbrush. They are very good brush heads, and there isn't much that I would complain about. My mouth definitely felt cleaner after using these, but I am not so sure that the extra cleaning justifies the higher price tag. I also have a few general issues with the Sonicare replacement brush heads that I would like to point out:
1. The strip of brush-hears that is designed to indicate when the head needs a replacement seems to be worn out a bit too quickly. I used to replace my regular toothbrushes about once every couple of months or so, but these heads seem to get worn out after just a couple of weeks. From the look of the head and the way it brushed my teeth I could see clearly that it was still a perfectly usable toothbrush. And since I sanitize it after each use, there was absolutely no need for it to be replaced so soon.
2. The price. When you consider the fact that you can buy a perfectly good full regular toothbrush for about $3-$5, the price of these brush replacements seems rather too high by at least a factor of two. I am not sure if there is some kind of copyright that prevents other manufacturers from creating their own replacement brush heads, but if there is no such thing then someone could make a lot of money by creating an alternative version of these heads.
3. Related to the above point, there is no reason why there should only be two shapes of these replacement heads. A little bit of competition in this department could be very useful as well.
Overall, I am very satisfied with these replacement brush heads, but there are many ways in which they could be improved.

OK, they are replacement brush heads for your Sonicare unit. Dec 15, 2011
By Archie Mercer

Sonicare makes a lot of claims regarding the Diamondclean Standard Brush Heads, that they will whiten teeth in just one week. Also that it removes 100% more plaque in hard to reach places than a manual toothbrush. OK, whatever. It pretty much sounds like marketing gobbledygook to me. Basically, these are replacement heads for your sonic care. Yes, they seem to be an improvement over the standard brushes that came with my unit but only slightly. The contour of the brush seems about the same. Comparing it to a manual brush, of course it's much better. When you compare it to their other heads, not so much. I would recommend these if you need a replacement, nothing more.

No improvement noticed over the old heads, but in general I like them. Nov 17, 2011
By diljs
I've used Sonicare for several years now. Although the replacement heads are expensive, I do get better looking teeth out of them.
These latest heads are the newest from Sonicare, and are supposed to clean/whiten better. They also look a bit sleeker compared to the old style and feel "larger" in the mouth, although they are not actually physically larger. They fit my old Flexwhite handle, which means I didn't have to buy a whole new brush, so that's nice for a change.
While these brush heads did their job, I didn't see any actual difference between them and the old ones, so I would recommend whichever is cheapest. In general I highly recommend a Sonicare brush however.
