18 months and same failure twice
Sonicare DiamondCleanMy partner purchased this model for both of us in late 2021 and both our 1st toothbrushes failed after about 9-10 months with the device totally shutting down. I noticed before mine went that it went into a state of continuously turning itself on. They both got replaced and now 9 months later, same thing again for my replacement. If I was a betting man, I would say my partner’s replacement will also fail as well shortly. No explanation as to why it would happen, but I do recall my partner was asked if we had dropped our device. In other words t

Always been especially careful since the 1st one to keep it clean and dry but same result. Hopefully when we contact Phillips again, they offer to replace both devices with a model that has no issues as it is obvious to us there is a reoccurring issue with this model. The model has been by chance now discontinued. I wonder why??Philips Sonicare 9000 diamondclean

I have to say I am literally long time fan because I've been using it for over 10 years now.

Check that the charger is not placed on a metal surface or near other chargers, as this may cause interference.

Great for a year then it breaks
Sonicare DiamondClean HX9362/67 (Pink)I’ve had two of these now and both after a year have broken. They are super hard to keep clean under the brush attachment so you need to ensure you do this otherwise it gets all gross. Both after a year have had malfunctions in the on off button meaning they don’t turn off and will randomly turn on. Really annoying when you’ve bought 3 of these and all 3 have been thrown out, at $299 a pop I won’t be using Phillips again. (2 were mine, one was another family member)

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9352/04 (Black)While I did love this toothbrush, it is way expensive for a product that just doesn't last. I would never purchase again based on the fact that they don't last and the battery life just progressively gets worse. Don't recommend.

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9372/04 (Amethyst)I have used an Oral B smart toothbrush for some years and found buying the matching smart brush heads almost impossible last year as they were no longer available anymore anywhere online or retail.
To replace it I bought a top of the line Philip’s Sonicare toothbrush and Air Flosser and have been really impressed by the improvements in oral cleanliness and ease of use.

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9372/04 (Amethyst)Purchased a Sonicare HX9370 due to over brushing as I believed it was the top of the range electronic brush...only for it to not work after just over a year. Contacted Phillips support and was able to get a replacement which died again just after their 2 year warranty - this time support refused to take ownership and replace. For $269, you would expect this device to have some quality control. Do not recommend at all, all the reviews here confirm this device is NOT designed to last. Disappointing to say the least.

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9362/67 (Pink)I have used the Philips Sonicare toothbrush for many years now. Got the latest one end of August 2020, after my older more basic model finally gave way after many years. The battery must have finally died, as unfortunately the internal battery can't be replaced without replacing the whole set. That is my only gripe.

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9352/49 (Black)I love this toothbrush. My partner and I are long time users. But, the toothbrush never last past the two year mark. They all die around then. It’s really pricey to be replacing such a toothbrush every two years!!

Sonicare DiamondClean HX9362/67 (Pink)Considering the price and the life of the toothbrush, I would suggest anyone who is considering buying this product buy an extended warranty. It is highly likely the brush would be broken just over two years life.
Having spoken to their livechat, I was told their toothbrush has been designed to last more than 5 years in a range of conditions. The battery included in this product has been tested to perform for at least 10 years.
That's really inconsistent with the real lifespan of their product.

What is the most effective way of cleaning the toothpaste that builds up and dries inside of the buttons? I try hot water while pressing the buttons, is there any kind of solution i can use to thorougly clean them?
Thanks.
Hello Ricardo.
Thank you for your review.
We recommend carrying out a detailed weekly cleaning session. Just follow the easy steps below: Remove the brush head. Rinse the bottom of the brush head with warm water. Rinse the metal shaft area with warm water. Clean the bottom of the toothbrush handle with a damp cotton swab to remove any residue. Wipe the entire surface of the handle with a wet cloth. Never use the dishwasher to clean your toothbrush or any of its accessories. Do not puncture the rubber seal around the metal shaft, as this may cause water damage.

Doesn’t matter what you do. Even if you follow the advice from Phillips like we did, chances are the tooth brush will fail. I have gone through 2 toothbrushes so far in a little over 12 months and still waiting on my 2nd replacement. The funny thing is that although Phillips already have the details on record from the last warranty claim, and we have already answered all their questions, they still are in denial. You will find the device is now discontinued. I wonder why?? Good thing we took out a 3 year warranty on ours originally. Will be a long road.
I'm not certain what Sonicare has done in manufacturing its toothbrushes over the years, but they have seriously deteriorated in quality. I'm probably on our 7th toothbrush in less than 5 years with 5 of them a result of them not working properly. I continue to have a problem - the same problem - with the on/off button not working. I understand part of the problem is probably the toothpaste gunk that gets into and around the on-off button. Why in the world after 3 years of this problem doesn't Sonicare fix the problem by manufacturing them with a silicone sheath over the handle that covers the on/off button. I love the clean I get with a Sonicare but I'm now ready to give up. We have had these toothbrushes less than 2 years and after spending over $300 for 2 of them, they do not turn on. So I'm done - moving on to something else that does not come with such unnecessary frustration. Shame on Sonicare for not responding to this issue which obviously many, many people encounter every morning and night.
Hi,
Thank you very much for taking the time to write this elaborate review. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we will definitely forward it to our product team for future improvements.
Toothpaste residue might indeed cause the power button to get stuck and not function properly. We recommend removing the brush head after each use and rinsing the brush head and the handle under water to remove residue.
Seven toothbrushes in less than five years certainly don't reflect the quality we aim to provide. We totally understand your frustration, and we'll be happy to assist you before you give up on our brand.
We'd like to refer you to our colleagues for more information. You can reach them directly on 1300 363 391 (Australia), or 0800 658 224 (New Zealand) from Mondays to Saturdays: 7:00 am - 7:00 pm EST. They're always happy to help!

I have had my toothbrush fail due to the top seal disintegrating and water getting inside the toothbrush. Philips did provide me with a replacement but i noticed the top seal had fallen apart on this one after a year. I think the seal on the top is a weak point in the design

My sonic care won't turn on - when placed on the charger it is lighting up and blinking.
what does this mean, it is about 1 year old.
Mine refused to even light up also after about 1 year. Someone from philips suggested I do a factory reset which is:
After charging for 24 hrs, and while still on charge, press and hold down the start button for a full 7 seconds.
This worked on mine although it seemed to have its own mind for 24 hrs after, turning on, cycling thru modes on its own. It’s ok now.
Good luck
These Phillips toothbrushes are known the die after 1-2 years. It looks like your battery is not retaining charge. I had to replace some of the toothbrushes with new batteries. It requires soldering, so unless you are quite handy, I would suggest to call phillips and they will replace your toothbrush. There’s 2 years warranty on them. When the warranty runs out, save the money and buy the oral-b new design toothbrushes instead.
