this one broke down on me twice in 12 months they replaced both times with a "new one". although i really like its performance i just ended up buying an Oral B io3 , so far i'm giving OB the edge in cleaning and hopefully it will last a few years.
Both Philips Sonicare and Oral-B electric toothbrushes are effective for oral hygiene, and the "better" choice often comes down to personal preference and specific needs. Studies comparing the two brands have yielded mixed results, with some suggesting Oral-B is slightly superior for plaque removal and gum health, while others favor Sonicare for reducing gingivitis. Ultimately, the most important factor is consistent and correct usage of either type of electric toothbrush.

I hate to do this to you all -- but have you considered using both?
an Oral-B with its oscillating cross action cleaning in the evening
AND
a Sonicare (in the 5xxx series or above) with its fluid pulses to rid what's left off the crevices of your teeth and gumline in the morning?
Best of both world, I say!

How is this compared to the 4100? Worth the extra $25?
New versions of 4100 are crappy and after a 10 month of usage, power drops significantly less than half. I'm currently shopping for a new one, either this higher model or Oral B. 🤷🏻 ♂️
Yes because you can always return a product back to Costco. Lifetime warranty:--)
Thanks but are you familiar with the operation of both brushes if they differ much? My Googling suggested diamond clean was an older model and I don't care about the multiple intensity modes offered on the diamond handle

Don't get so stuck in the details. A tooth brush is a tooth brush. Brushing twice daily is far more important than semantics
Please allow me to recommend the Sonicare Professional Clean 2-pack (Model HX7513/71) at Costco (Item 4952051) instead. It is currently at a discounted price of $129.99 for the two pack till 7/20/2025. That works out to be $65 each, just $10 more with Costco having your back! https://www.costco.com/.product.4000200042.htm
