The buying decision
Electric toothbrush shopping usually comes down to one of two goals: you want a capable, affordable powered brush, or you already own a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean system and just need a replacement handle. This head-to-head compares exactly that pair. One candidate is an open-box Oral-B Pro 1000; the other is a new compatible smart handle for selected DiamondClean models. The lower-priced option is open-box, and the higher-priced option is handle-only, so both come with a caveat before you compare their strengths. That means the right choice depends as much on your current setup as on the price tag. The deciding factors are price, compatibility, and whether you are starting fresh or replacing a worn handle.
Quick verdict
If you want a straightforward electric toothbrush from this pair, the Oral-B Pro 1000 is the practical pick. If you already have a Sonicare DiamondClean charger and brush heads, the compatible smart handle is the better fit.

Where each product wins
The Oral-B wins if you want an Oral-B electric toothbrush with the features shown in the table. The Sonicare handle wins if you already have the supporting DiamondClean pieces and want a feature-rich replacement handle. There is no universal winner because one is an electric toothbrush unit and the other is a replacement handle.
Product notes
Oral-B Pro 1000
This open-box Oral-B Pro 1000 gives you a rotating, oscillating, and pulsating 3D cleaning action with a CrossAction head whose bristles are angled at 16 degrees. The in-handle timer supports the dentist-recommended two-minute brushing routine, and the pressure control stops pulsations if you push too hard. The trade-off: this listing is open-box rather than factory sealed. If you prefer pristine retail packaging, that may give you pause; if the function matters more than the box, this is a strong value in this comparison. For someone who wants a ready-to-use electric toothbrush in this pair, the Pro 1000 gets you there. The CrossAction design is meant to surround each tooth, which is a solid fit if you want thorough cleaning along the gumline.
Electric Toothbrush Smart Handle for Philips Sonicare DiamondClean HX93xx HX99xx
If you already own a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean system, this replacement handle can restore premium performance without buying an entirely new toothbrush. It offers five modes, Bluetooth connectivity, an app connection, plus a charging indicator and auto shut-off. The catch is that the package contains only the handle-you must supply the brush head, charger, and retail packaging yourself. The handle is white ABS plastic and designed for specific HX93xx/HX99xx series, so you need to match your charger model before ordering. Different series require different chargers, so confirming your existing charger is a must before ordering. For existing DiamondClean users, this is a practical replacement path that keeps their current brush heads in service.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Oral-B Pro 1000 if you want the straightforward electric toothbrush in this pair. Choose the Sonicare DiamondClean-compatible handle if you already own a compatible DiamondClean system and need a replacement handle. If you are buying your first power toothbrush, the Oral-B is the more direct option; if you are replacing a worn Sonicare handle, the compatible smart handle lets you keep your existing setup.
