Unfortunately the rechargeable one isn't as convenient as it sounds. It can only charge using outdated USB-A adapters. When you're traveling, you can't just plug in a USB-C cable with a USB-C power adapter (like the same ones for your phone or tablet) because it doesn't work. It does work with other USB-C/USB-A cables (assuming you have one small enough to fit inside the end of the brush handle) but who carries one of those around? What is the point of using USB-C if you have to carry a separate cable and adapter? What a stupid oversight by Philips.
Hi John, Your videos helped me a great deal to make a purchase decision. I got the Sonicare diamond clean, and I am very pleased. Just wanted to show a bit of gratitude towards the work you are doing.
I bought this last year as my toothbrush when I travel, and has served me well ever since. My last trip, I was gone for 2 months travelling to Thailand and the Philippines, so I got to test it's battery life. Brushing twice a day, sometimes 3 if I'm at my Airbnb all day, the charge lasted for more than a month. After a month and a half, it was still working fine, but I decided to charge it just in case. The intensity didn't feel like it started to dwindle. I love that it came with a sturdy case, covering the power and keeping it nice and covered. As a toothbrush to use for travel, I highly recommend this.
For $30, I'm happy to have this as toothbrush to keep in my purse as it provides a little more stimulation than a manual toothbrush. Good for in between brushing while out after a coffee or eating anything that might stain the teeth.
I bought this as I wanted to better oral hygiene while traveling. The vibrations are indeed quite weak compared to the regular model (which I also own). It may be better than a regular toothbrush but maybe not by much.
I miss the Sonicare Power-up. It used 2 AA batteries and was compatible with any Sonicare brush head. After using the brush heads that came with it, I used the diamond clean heads for years before it finally died. I’m really disappointed that it was discontinued.
Hi! Thanks for the review! How would you rate the cleaning power compared to a Philips Sonicare 3100? I really dont want to buy electronic products with fixed lithium battery and soft TPU plastics that will 100% fail after 2 years when the rest of the product is perfectly fine...
The Soincare 3100 is quite a bit better in my opinion. Both used correctly can do a good job, you will just need to work a bit harder with the Philips One. How can you say they will definitely fail?! Many products last considerably longer than a couple of years.
@@ElectricTeeth Thanks so much for the reply! I think I will go for the more powerful option this time. Yes, sorry, maybe I was exaggerating a bit ;) I usually replace the fixed batteries in handheld products but for my last two brushes (Braun and Phillips) i could not do that because the plasticizer in the rubber was gone and the buttons / soft grip areas on the handle just dissolved into chewing gum... both after two years. Maybe I was just unlucky, who knows.
Understood. I am not sure on your location, but if in the USA, I do strongly advise considering the new 4100 Series. Its like the 3100, only a bit better. And for a bit of a wildcard if you like the idea of being able to replace the battery, you might want to consider SURI. - ruclips.net/video/rxbQ8z5E77k/видео.html
How are the bristles' softness as compared to Sensodyne Sensitive Toothbrush? Because, I have a new sonic toothbrush which I cannot use due to its bristles.
I haven't used that Sensodyne toothbrush I don't think. Or at least I don't have it to hand to compare. Based on what I know I suspect the Sensodyne bristles are softer.
Hi, I just bought one of these toothbrushes in Müller Europe. I was very surprised when I opened it. It didn’t came with a travel case, just a plain head cover. I got the rechargeable one. But the charger is unique, not usb-c. Do you have any information about that? Is this a newer model, maybe more powerful? Is it possible to purchase the travel case separately? Or the unique charging chord in case I lose it?
you should try the hello charcoal activated toothpaste its made from pure bamboo and its completely safe for your teeth it won't wear down your enamel even the toothpaste tablets their great!😁
Thanks for your review. Does the brush move like Sonicare, or vibrate like Quip? I would like to see the test in a container of water, and the movement of the bristles in close-up. Google Translate
It has a 'sonic' cleaning action so it is like a Sonicare toothbrush. BUT....the power is considerably less and it is much more like Quip than it is a Sonicare toothbrush. Thanks for the request for the test in water. We may do this at some point, but I can't say if and when that might be.
Great review! But I just want to share my experience with this toothbrush. My Sonicare One stopped working for three days. And it doesn't even clean my teeth.
You know this video isn't from Philips, right? And a volume minimiser? How, in your estimation, would that work? The sound is from the vibration, which is what makes the toothbrush work, and it's even louder when it's in your mouth because your mouth is directly connected to your ear canals. It's not a speaker that you can just turn the volume down. You should be ashamed to be this stupid in public.
The video seems informative but since there are a lot of options, confusion is getting the better of me. Please suggest me the best toothbrush and toothpaste.
Hi Manisha. The best can depend based on your country. For our current recommendations on toothbrushes check out one of the following links: US - www.electricteeth.com/best-electric-toothbrush/ CA - www.electricteeth.com/ca/best-electric-toothbrush/ UK - www.electricteeth.com/uk/best-electric-toothbrush/ AUS - www.electricteeth.com/au/best-electric-toothbrush/ As for toothpaste we don't typically have just 1 we recommend. A basic toothpaste containing fluoride is usually fine. We don't tend to recommend whitening toothpastes so stay away from those for everyday use.
Was your next question going to be a request for them to come to your home and brush your teeth for you? Do you need help wiping your hiney, too? In what other rudimentary life skills are you completely, and utterly, incompetent. The thing you really need is a sense of shame.

Seems good for people transitioning from manual to electric?

This is good for "inbetween" proper brushing..
I love mine. I have the newer rechargeable one and it's cool.
Good review

Is it working again now? If not, get in contact with Sonicare. They should replace it.
Can you at least have a volume minimizer? This brush annoys me because of the noise. However, you show a great review for this one btw.

The Philips One is awful. I got one for me and the wife and I'm disappointed. Its motor is so weak it doesnt feel like its doing much.

@@maize5 Do you feel better Brett?
Power is less than a third of their traditional Sonicare…
VERY disappointing!
Very soft brush?
No. Not the firmest nor the softest bristles.
I can't see any improvements in my teeth using this one. This is not worth it.
Hi John, I purchased one and my entire handle vibrates, not just the head. Is this normal? Thanks!
Yes, there is vibration through the handle as well as the brush head. This is normal.
Is it compatible with any sonicare head?
No Ellie. Only those made specifically for the Philips One.
came here for this question! thank you!
Why can’t you buy it in the uk
It has not been launched here Ahmed. It is currently only available in the USA. Maybe in time they will bring it here.
Man... that was brutal watching the horrrrrrible brushing technique you use! How are you and expert on oralcare???
Brushing at the gum line? That’s the central tenant that of brushing.
