The base of the brush is sealed, but has a recess into which the prong on the charging stand fits to charge the brush. As most of us are generally close to some sort of charging facility for our toothbrush we do not necessarily need them to last a long time, but it can be a hassle or annoyance you do not need or want so if the life of the battery can be extended it is good as it makes everyday use just that little bit more convenient. 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. 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. A gentle yet thorough cleaning mode that combined with the sensitive brush head works to remove bacteria and plaque from sensitive areas of the mouth.
Both the pressure sensor and the pressure control are present in these four brushes from the Genius series. If your main concern is the result that each brush can give you, then stop at this section and don’t miss a word.
The best Oral-B electric toothbrushes to buy in 2023
The 8000 and all Oral-B brushes made for the UK come with a 2 pin connector on the charging cables. This is because they have been designed to be used with power outlets found in bathrooms that use a 2 pin configuration. App and position detection technology concept– Innovative and encouraging it is, the process of using and getting setup is timely and can feel overkill for a 2-3 minute tooth clean. You need to be dedicated to use it. A flashing red light will appear when the battery is low. A battery silhouette will appear on the toothbrush handle as it’s charging, each bar representing a third of the total charge. Waterproof Feature As a smart toothbrush it increases the component usage and when the brush eventually fails, it causes more waste. To find out more about each cleaning mode and the best brush head to use with it, read this post which explains the Oral-B modes available.
Although 3brush heads are supplied, they are interchangeable and it is advisable to use the appropriate brush head with the appropriate cleaning mode, although any cleaning mode can be used with any brush head. As for the timer, this indicates the minimum time that brushing should last (according to studies carried out by experts), which is usually around two minutes. The timer is also present in all four models. Artificial intelligence and position detection It is a practical addition and can move with you. That said, you are likely to mount it and leave it as I assume you generally speaking brush your teeth in the same location each time. Travel case– A very handy addition and something we should see more of. Protects the brush and avoids accidental activation in transit. The timer memorises the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. Anything longer than 30 seconds paused and the timer resets
Kids/Junior series: Variations of the Vitality, Pro and Smart Series brushes aimed at kids and teens. Often slightly smaller and featuring favourite characters or more colourful designs. The CrossAction brush head relies on hundreds of bristles that are angled in different directions. It has been scientifically engineered, to ensure the bristles cross over different parts of the tooth surface more effectively than those brush heads that have standard straight bristles. Due to my mirror position and my height, during use the only practical position was virtually in the middle of the mirror, which is a bit daft when you want to use the mirror for other things such as looking at yourself whilst doing your hair. You have a smartphone holder in the way unless you move it. Frequent travellers may demand longer battery life and if this is a must take a look at Philips Sonicare DiamondClean, but if 16 days is ample then great.
It has not been designed to be easily repaired by yourself. Trying to replace parts like the battery will likely break the brush. This makes it more likely to be discarded rather than repaired if broken. Whilst a toothbrush plays a vital role in oral hygiene the routine and way in which you clean does too. This app makes it easy to see and represent in real-time just how good, or bad you are doing. 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.

The Genius 8000 launched as a cut-down, value version of the original Genius 9000 brush, and it still feels like a high-end toothbrush despite its price. It also gives an excellent clean, with a choice of six brush modes and three brush heads – CrossAction, 3D White and Sensitive – to cover a wide range of dental needs. Its Lithium-Ion battery still needs charging overnight but will last for over an hour of brushing from there on in, which should cover you for a couple of weeks. If you can justify the price point, I would urge looking at the Genius 9000 which bring some small but worthwhile benefits and is the better buy. Or, even better the Genius X, which is essentially the replacement to the 9000.
