Whilst the Genius is the premium brush it offers inferior battery life. Our testing has confirmed that the 9000 offers 12 days of usage time compared to the 18 days on the Smart 6. ThePro 600 offers 8,800 oscillations and 20,0000 pulsations whilst the 2000 offers 9,900oscillations and 45,000 pulsations. If you need more detail on any of the brushes, read on or leave a comment. Brush vs brush comparison posts As you move up the Oral-B range, the brushes become more expensive, but they do come with additional features and accessories. We regard these as “nice-to-have” rather than essential. A new magnetic charger means the brush can be recharged in as little as 3 hours, rather than the more typical 12.

The Oral-B iO has been redesigned from the ground up. From the motor to the handle, to the brush head, it has all changed. The image below is a comparison chart that shows the main models available from Oral-B today, along with the features and functions each offer.The 600 comes in light Blue or Pink whilst the Pro 2 2000 comes in a dark Blue or Pink. Both have gloss white plastic bodies. The reality is that you could use any mode on the brush to clean your tongue just ending the clean sooner. Although the speed and number of oscillations will be different. Ultimately, all of the brushes will provide a very good clean to the teeth and gums if used correctly. It does too come with a premium travel case, similar to that of the Genius X, which allows the brush to be charged whilst inside. However, like the X, this requires a separate proprietary power adapter. The Pro 3 3500 offers the features we regard as essential (a pressure sensor and a timer) at an affordable price.

Up to a point. Oral-B’s CrossAction, FlossAction, Precision Clean, Sensi and 3D White brush heads work across brushes in the Vitality, Pro, Smart and Genius lines, but iO Series brushes have their own specific Ultimate Clean and Gentle Care heads. What features are worth paying extra for? Whilst each has its place within the market, it is the Pro Series that is the most logical option for the majority. 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.There are fewer gloss plastics and large expanses of rubber grips, with a much more exclusive looking design.
