Thanks, exactly what I was looking for!

There is another VERY important difference - user replaceable battery. Let's use them for say 5 years. Rechargeable one will no longer hold the charge and need to be thrown away. Battery operated one will still work as good as "day one". You could even use rechargeable AAA batteries with it. It will be no problems to replace them when they will not hold a charge anymore.

5 years with the same toothbrush though? What if the electric motor goes out? What if Philips stops making the brush head after just a few years? I see what you're getting at, but I doubt anyone will own this same toothbrush more than a few years. It's not like it used to be, people always want the "new and latest" of everything.

My Sonicare from 2013 (or earlier) still works in 2023. I finally updated it only so I could get a pressure sensor which my dentist recommended. Both the motor and battery still work great! For a toothbrush like this, which is really great for people who want a cheap option and/or a travel specific toothbrush, I really like that they made this a choice. Personally, I like the a replaceable battery as a feature over a built-in rechargeable battery. I would use Eneloop rechargeable batteries, and that would be $3-$3.50 USD, well worth the $10 difference. I was concerned that maybe the built-in would have more power, but it seems to at least be on par if the battery life is 3x longer with the AAA battery.

thanks for the review I think I'm getting the battery one

Always thorough

I always come to your accounting if I need some thorough explanation! Als, What is the approximate life on the rechargeable one? (How many years?)

Hi Christine. We expect a battery on average to last around 5 years. No guarantee but that tends to be about average.

I got like 2-3 months with the chargeable one

I would very much value your opinion on the Philips Sonicare A3 Premium All-in-One brush head (available now). Please review. Thanks.

Hi William. I will be covering it in our upcoming 9900 Prestige review. I have to say it is impressive. From the moment I began using it, the cleaning felt more intense than other Sonicare brush heads.

Ouch! I hope they sell those bottoms as replacement parts. From my experience those types of things don't live long. They are not made for frequent usage and slot getting busted very easily(one can already see damage to it in the video).

Does the USB recharge with a C to C cable?

Is there any power difference between the two? Does one have more power (clean better) then the other? Thanks!

Worth checking the USB-C cable you are using is a 'charging cable' as you can potentially get just 'data cables'. But if that is the case then it is a bit concerning you can't use other cables. Not something I picked up on when testing.

Which one cleans better?

@ElectricTeeth

They should clean the same. I certainly didn't detect any meaningful difference. The only difference as far as I am aware is the power source (removable or built-in battery).

Folks.. After looking at both, there is an issue of price: $37 for rechargeable vs. $17 for battery versions

@ElectricTeeth

Indeed. Do be aware of the ongoing cost of replacement batteries though. Unless you are intending to use a rechargeable AAA.

So you’re saying the rechargeable one is rechargeable and the battery one takes batteries? Thank god you made this video, I would have been so lost 😂 Perhaps can you tell me if there’s any performance difference between the two? Or why you should choose one over the other. That’s really what I came here looking for

Just trying to be clear and factual. They perform the same. It's going to be personal preference as to which you prefer. I would generally recommend the rechargeable as for me this is more convenient. But someone travelling the world with nothing more than a backpack, might prefer the removable battery version because of the ease with which these can be sourced.

How do I get the cap off of the battery operated brush when it's stuck

@ElectricTeeth

Жыл бұрын

Maybe run some warm water over it? This might loosen things up, if it is stuck. Hold the brush upright so the water runs away from the battery compartment.

That's generally true in my experience, with the provision that cheaper battery powered toothbrushes are often just as effective, but it's going to vary somewhat by the battery quality you use (most don't regulate the power going to the motor). A fresh alkaline battery is going to run faster than a nickle metal hydride battery, but will gradually lose performance as the battery loses stored energy.

Removeable battery version is better than rechargeable version

This toothbrush is making too much noise. My boyfriend has Oclean X Pro Elite, and I think it is the quietest electric toothbrush.
