DiamondClean HX 9352/04

The key feature of the DiamondClean HX 9352 / 04 model is the diamond-shaped tip of all the bristles of the product, thanks to which their penetration into the interdental crevices and the space between the elements of the orthodontic structure is achieved.

Thanks to the lithium-ion battery installed in the product, the product can operate without additional charging for up to 3 weeks with twice daily use.
The brush comes with two standard replacement heads, allowing the device to be used by two family members. The cost of the model from the official distributor is 18 thousand rubles.

Charger
[adace-ad id=”5228"]
There is a battery charge indicator on the main handle - it will start flashing if it is nearing low. A full charge here takes as much as 48 hours. Despite the fact that the natural habitat of the brush is wet areas, you should keep the brush away from water and do not use it without making sure that it is completely dry. Otherwise, electric shock cannot be avoided. There is little good in this, and even less very good.
