A bit of background from my watching of the prices: The 1-series (basic), 2-series (slightly better), and 3-series (good enough), and 9-series (diamond) series go on sale frequently. The 5, 6, and 7 series (in between) go on sale less often. The 6-series includes the multi-mode operations of the higher end models (e.g. whitening), but at a low cost point. At $70 for two, this price rivals the cost of the lower-end series sonicare toothbrushes. I have been waiting for this sale. Is it the lower price ever? Probably not, but it is a solid price for 2 plus costco's returns policy if anything goes wrong.
What are the big differences between this and perfect clean? Just ordered perfect clean but wonder if this will suffice. Only really need the pressure sensor.

I end up turning off the pressure sensor since I found it to be too sensitive

This model has the pressure sensor.

Silly question these days I'm sure, but are these lithium, right?
yes, it has a Lithium ion battery.

Yes, according to Costco's e-mail these are available in select stores.
In the Costco ad, it states that this price is online only. I just purchased this in store earlier this week for the regular price, I need to see if Costco will adjust the price, or buy online and return in store.
Good point about model numbers that would be different. I meant the number that follows the 'HX' in the product, e.g. HX5, HX6, HX9... Thanks!
Yeah, I didn't realize that. Their model numbers are odd: "HX6*" includes the 6100 as well as the "Sonicare for Kids" https://www.usa.philips.com/c-p/H...toothbrush. I guess maybe the "HX*" part indicates a similar (but differing) group of models (they sort of look similar, but with different features present or missing).
got the diamond clean for 150+5 shipping on BF deal. I am just using only white mode. Not sure whether i will use all of the other modes. Is it better to jump on this?
I have been using the 5100 series Sonicare for about 4 years and the battery just died on me. Prior to the 5100 series I used the original Sonicare tooth brush with the screw on heads and a magnet on every brush heads for many years. I was excited to get a 2 pack of the 5000's for $70! My Costco was out of them and by the time I got home the Costco website listed them as "out of stock". Very disappointing! So I went to Best Buy and picked up a single 4100 series brush for $40. I can tell absolutely NO difference between the 4100 series and my old 5100 series as far as cleaning. I could never tell any difference between the different modes on my 5100 series and honestly think it is just marketing hype.
I would have gladly purchased the pair of 5000's for $70. I do not feel crippled in any way by the 4100 series. After 3 days of being without any Sonicare my teeth were feeling dirty and annoying after using a regular tooth brush for twice or even three times longer than the 2 minute Sonicare cycle. In all honesty the second 5000 probably would have sat in a drawer (uncharged) for a few years until the first one stopped working and been dead when I needed it.
Look at the Phillips Sonicare website (https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-p...&layout=96). They have about a dozen different models that go all the way up to $400 for a single Bluetooth connected "Prestige" tooth brush. If your Costco still have any of these available pick up a pair at $70 for sure. If not look at Best Buy. My Costco had 2 packs of the "Diamond" series for $150... seems like a complete waste of money to me especially since you can buy the super duper diamond brush heads for the same price as the regular brush heads and use them on any of the current Sonicare models. Personally I think the "Diamond" version is a market scam just like the $400 9100 bluetooth "Prestige" version. If you compare the specs on the different models (https://www.electricteeth.com/son...0-vs-6100/) all of the models have the same 31,000/62,000 strokes per second. All of them have the same grip size. My conclusion is they all have the same motor and the same Li-ion battery. The "Philips One by Sonicare" low end brushes do seem to have a smaller handle which I would guess translates into a smaller battery???
If you have never used a Sonicare tooth brush before they work MUCH better with very minimal pressure. The harder you press the less effective they are. When the bristles get older, worn and bent applying more pressure does seem to lead to a better clean but (to me) are worth replacing with new brush heads at this point. The less pressure you use the longer the bristles seem to last.
P.S. The Oral B electric tooth brushes are junk in comparison to the Sonicare in my opinion... they run at a fraction of the speed of the Sonicare electric tooth brushes.

My DiamondClean 9700 just died on me yesterday after 4 years of use. I tried opening it up and all the different fixes on the web but could not fix it, this was a $280 toothbrush too... One of my old essence tooth brushes still works after 10 years, I was going to buy this one as a replacement but it is OOS and not in stock at the local warehouse..
I don't think I will get another DiamondClean since I only use the clean function, the smart features are kind of useless as the App is clunky at times.
