The other big plus with the iO Series 9 is charging. You get not only two weeks’ worth of charge in just under three hours, but also a slimline travel case that allows you to charge the brush while in-situ. While it’s due to be superseded by the new iO Series 10, this is not just the best Oral-B toothbrush, but the best electric toothbrush you can buy. You can get a perfectly functional brush for a lot less but still gain many of the benefits, notably the Pro 3 3500. Pay attention to the Triple Pressure Sensor to avoid damaging your teeth and prematurely wearing out your brush heads. Even with my desire to make it work it has taken over a week to get close and I still don’t find it perfect. From that I feel that for most the effort for the reward is too high. SNOW LED electric toothbrushes feature different brushing modes and an industry-leading blue LED light. While you can switch out the brush heads for a tongue cleaner or face brush, SNOW Cosmetics LLC doesn’t sell different brush head styles.

The truth is, if one of the best Oral-B brushes happens to come to our minds, it doesn’t make much sense for us to stay with an immediately inferior one, no matter how spectacular it may be. Using a lower speed and power output through the brush head in conjunction with the provided Cross Action to clean the teeth and massage gums, stimulating blood flow and assisting in reducing sensitivity in the gums when brushing. There is also the 2 pin charger that connects to the travel case. This supports 100-240v and may also require an adapter to connect to certain power outlets. Yes. Often referred to as the quadpacer or professional timer; subject to the cleaning mode the brush will provide an audible warning through a slight pause in the brushing mode to tell you to change quadrants. There are 4 quadrants to the mouth, and brushing is normally for 2 minutes. The timer will active at 30 second intervals, with a different sound at the end of the 2 minutes. The LED SmartRing will also illuminate to at 30 second intervals to notify you. This is also where we find another difference to take into account when choosing between one brush and another. Let’s start with the common point between the four brushes: position detection.I found myself at times, spending more time cleaning my teeth (this is a good thing to a point) to try and ensure I got all areas of the mouth. However, in doing so, due to the app not registering the areas quite correctly, ended up spending more time in certain areas of the mouth than others. This resulted in the app thinking I had done a splendid job when I know I had not. You can get a perfectly functional brush for a lot less but still gain many of the benefits, notably the Pro 2 2000 This particular electric toothbrush cleans my teeth effectively and allows me to tailor my brushing to my needs. However, it doesn’t wholly deliver upon the promise made by the Position Detection and Oral-B app connectivity via Bluetooth. The SmartRing is present in all four Oral-B Genius models. Excuse me, have I read mobile application? The app is very comprehensive with lots of options, too many to go through completely in this review. It gives you all you need though to not only effectively brush your teeth, but to log the cleans and motivate you.

Battery life isn’t up there with some Sonicare models – you’re looking at a recharge roughly every three weeks – but if you want the latest and greatest toothbrush tech for less, there’s no better buy.The FlossAction brush head bristles are not angled, but there yellow are microbristles which are focused on getting deep between the teeth, for a floss like clean. To change the cleaning mode it is a case of pressing the cleaning mode button (downwards facing arrow) under the power button and continuing to press until the desired cleaning mode is reached and the indicator illuminated. There is a good chance the brush will last longer than the 3 year period and using the same brush handle but switching heads with other users in your household will only help bring the cost down and drive more value from it. Considering the size and weight of a brush might not be your first thought, but you will likely be surprised by what impact it can have on your overall use and comfort of the brush. It is too heavy or awkward to hold then it will leave you less likely to use the brush for the desired time or longer, often cutting short the cleaning cycle. The 8000 measures and weighs and ergonomically comfortable 24cm tall with the brush head attached and 2.7cm wide and 3.2cm deep and weighs 140 grams.

No, the 8000 has 5 cleaning modes. Daily Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening and Pro-Clean. Only the Genius 9000 offers more with a tongue cleaning mode. If you want less modes, the Pro 4000, 3000, 2000 offer such or for just one mode then opt for the Pro 600 or 650. Typically prices come down over time and the 8000 probably will but there is unlikely to be the level of discount applied that already has! If you’re not bothered with the whole idea of apps and smart toothbrushes, then the iO Series 3 is amazing value and, arguably, the best brush in Oral-B’s whole range. It boasts the same magnetic drive technology as the other brushes in Oral-B’s flagship iO-Series range, but comes without the advanced sensors and Bluetooth connectivity to monitor your brushing and send the data to your smartphone. In practice, that means a quieter brush with a more comfortable vibration, and one that still leaves your incisors feeling polished and your molars super-clean, as well as doing a fantastic job of clearing plaque from between your teeth.Oral-B replacement electric toothbrush heads feature a professionally inspired design that surrounds each tooth. The dynamic movement of 3D cleaning action helps the electric toothbrush head adapt to your teeth as it oscillates, rotates and pulsates to break up and remove more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush. The Pro-Clean mode replaces what was known as Deep Clean mode that is available on the Smart Series Pro 6000 and 6500. Pro-Clean provides an intense clean feeling with 3,000 more movements per minute than the more standard Daily Clean mode. Now you may be thinking that many other brushes from Oral-B or other brands comes with such. Which is fair, but where the 8000 comes into its own needs a little more explanation.
