Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Given that this icon only lights up when the mode is selected, it is hard to tell, but the Genius 9000 does offer a Tongue Cleaning mode that the Smart 6 does not.

Whether the supplied head you find suitable or not will be a personal decision. The good news however is that these brushes accept a range of different brush heads that are engineered to achieve different things or may suit your preferences better. There are 6 main types of brush head, these are: The Smart 5 5000 comes supplied with a more suitable holder too. It sits on a work surface rather than needing to be attached to a wall. It is our opinion is smarter and less unsightly. You just need to pop your phone in it, which takes a couple of seconds compared to the tens of seconds with the genius brush configuration. You phone then sits in portrait or landscape orientation and shows the on-screen timer.

White in colour with blue leaf pattern on the case supplied with white gripped handle (exceptions may apply) You get the standard features like the 2 minute timer, 30 second pacer, rechargeable battery and fading indicator bristles on the brush head.

The Smart 6’s brush head holder is a moulded piece of plastic that clips around the charging stand and offers up 2 prongs. The brush heads then sit on these. It keeps them upright and they do not touch, but they are not covered like they are with the compartment with the 9000, which can accommodate up to 4 brush heads. Ultimately, whatever brush you decide upon, it is you who needs to make the decision; but do so based on which is best for your needs or that of the end user. 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.

Two of the more cost effective models within the Oral-B range of electric toothbrushes, these two are among the most popular models available on the market today and either serve the vast majority of users very well. Together these alert you to relieve the pressure when brushing. Once relieved the light will go out, the brush motor speed up and the sound change again. Experience Oral-B Pro 570 from the #1 brand recommended by dentist worlwide. The Pro 570 electric toothbrush helps you brush like your dentist recommends for 2 minutes with the professional timer and it notifies you every 30 seconds to change the area your are brushing. While you are just moving the brush around your mouth, Oral-B's unique round head does all the rest. It removes up to 100% more plaque than a standard manual toothbrush for healthier gums and it starts making your smile whiter as of the first day of brushing by removing surface stains. With the professional timer Oral-B Pro 570 is a great toothbrush for everyone who wants to switch to an electric toothbrush. No wonder Oral-B is the #1 recommended brand by dentists worldwide. Oral-B Pro 570 electric rechargeable toothbrush is compatible with rotating toothbrush heads: Cross Action, 3D White, Sensi Ultrathin, Precision Clean, Floss Action, Tri Zone, Power Tip, Ortho Care. Both brushes come with thestandard ‘Daily Clean’ mode. They both then have a Sensitive mode. It is only the Pro 3 3000 that has the ‘Whitening’ mode.

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.You too get a visible pressure sensor, but this now lights up not only red to alert you when you brush too hard, but green too, to show you are using just the right amount of pressure. So, both models come with a place to store brush heads, but the compartment with the 9000 is better than the stand offered with the Smart 6. With so few differences between the brushes, the conclusion I come to will be different to yours, but at the end of the day both do a great job of cleaning teeth. Step 5: Direct the brush head along the gum line and upon the gums. Again, do not press hard or scrub.

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. Pro Gum Care (Sensitive brush head) – These have extra soft bristles for a gentle clean and are perfect for people who have sensitive gums. Technically, the Genius 8000 is more powerful. Therefore you get more osculations/rotations and pulsations per minute. This means, that it could in theory clean the teeth better. I think it would help if you included the information about the number of oscillations and pulsations of each model.

Put these two brushes side by side and the differences between them are much harder to tell, they look almost identical, however there are some subtle differences. The Visible pressure sensor lights up if you brush too hard to prevent harmful over-brushing and there are two modes - daily clean and gum care. Used by dentists worldwide, it is compatible with the following replacement toothbrush heads: CrossAction, 3D White, Sensitive Clean, Precision Clean, Floss Action, Trizone and Dual Clean. There are of course many similarities between these two brushes and both have some design and features I have not touched upon yet, but I believe are worth noting. There are fewer gloss plastics and large expanses of rubber grips, with a much more exclusive looking design. The Genius X does command a premium for this technological upgrade and you get a little less in the box.
