Pressure sensor and ADA Seal

Multi-signal pressure sensor. Philips Sonicare's description: Ring lights up purple, with vibration and a pulsing sound.

No ADA Seal listing found for this model on the ADA’s own product search. That is not a failed test: the Seal is voluntary and makers apply for it product by product.

These are facts about features and listings, not a statement that the brush prevents or treats anything. What a pressure sensor does · What the ADA Seal means

Handle: $340

12 heads over 36 months at Philips Sonicare's stated 3-month interval, less 6 heads in the box. Head price: Sonicare SimplyClean 6-pack (HX6016/77), $39.96 on usa.philips.com. How this is worked out

What the extra money buys: Same 62,000 brush movements / min and a pressure sensor as the Philips Sonicare Series 5700; the extra $260 buys 3 more modes, app tracking, a multi-signal pressure sensor, a charging travel case, a charging glass and 5 more heads in the box.

Features

Six brush heads plus a TongueCare+ tongue cleaner in the box
Five modes with Tongue Care
Charging glass and charging travel case
Real-time app coaching
Pressure ring light

What it does well

Six brush heads and a tongue cleaner in the box, the most of any Sonicare here
Both a charging glass and a charging travel case
Tongue Care as a fifth mode, which the 9300 doesn't have
The same real-time coaching and pressure ring light as the 9300
The charging glass doubles as a rinse cup

What it gives up

$340, a price only the Prestige tops in this catalog
Still 14 days per charge, a week less than the $160 Series 7100, which also has a charging case
Much of the premium over the 9300 is heads you could buy later

Where these figures come from

Every figure is the maker’s own, from its US product page, spec sheet or store, and the ADA listing comes from the ADA’s own site. A figure the maker does not publish is left out rather than estimated. The three-year cost, gum-safety and travel chips are worked out from those figures here.
