This deal is a bit of a hack for those who do not care about shiny packaging or travel cases.

Oral-B sells many electric toothbrush products, but many share the same "handle" (which is the main thing really). The handle included in the Genius 8000/9000 and the Smart 7000 products is the 3765; the only difference between these boxed retail products are the accessories (included brushes, travel case and phone holder for the 9000).

You can buy the white handle separately for $71. The Black version is $74 (same size though…).

You can add a genius charger for $30. However, if you already have a charger it may work (taking my chances). The website implies the genius is a different model charger, but it has the same product code and type number (3757). I have previously successfully charged a "Pro 700" model on a charger meant for a 3765 handle. My Pro 700 has the same model number, "CS number" and wattage (0.9W) as the charger of a 3765 handle.

Price for a handle + charger would be $111 shipped.
Handle alone would be $81 shipped.
2 Handles $152 shipped

Typical "special" price for a retail Genius 9000 is ~$150-$160 (which includes shiny box, travel case + some brush heads).

I needed 2 handles, which at $152 shipped (+ $30 if you need a charger) works out much cheaper than a "Genius 8000 dual handle pack" ($225 from Amazon AU / $249 from Shavershop).

This website only accepts credit card.

I bought the Oral-B Genius 8000 retail box at Shavershop ebay store for a low $99. I was quite happy with it and cleaned very well. It's even better than my Philips Sonicare Diamondclean toothbrush. It's a good deal if already have a charger.

  Or just get a cheapy $20 brush and for the charger and keep handle as backup. I did this when my 8000's charger dead. Same model charger through most of Oral-B models.

Thanks mate.

I noticed that the plastics and rubber on these Oral-B handles are quite susceptible to mould blackening the rubber, especially if you don't proactively wipe down the base on them every day.

Wish them came with a metallic body like the Sonicare ones.

    Yeh I've been doing that occasionally using Domestos scented bleach so it doesn't smell like chit after - just a PITA that I have to do it every 1-2 months so it doesn't start staining again.

      Geez if every 1 to 2 months is frequent enough to be a pain, I have to ask…how often are you cleaning your teeth?
      - meetyourmaker on 31/03/2020 - 11:21
        
        @dm01: Not sure if serious, but I'd presume most people here do not or never have dunked their electric toothbrush base into a solvent liquid to ensure mould does not grow between the gaps for it to become common practice.
        
        dm01 on 31/03/2020 - 12:09
        
        @meetyourmaker: No, I was not being serious, I was trying to highlight the irony of you complaining about having to clean an item every 30 to 60 days when that item itself is used for cleaning (hopefully) twice a day.
        
        To put it another way, if you're spending four minutes per day cleaning your teeth (2x 2 minutes), is it really a PITA to spend an additional 5(?) minutes, each month or two, to clean your brush handle?
        
        In other words, if 5 minutes every 30 to 60 days is a PITA, then spending 4 minutes (hopefully) - every single day - must drive you absolutely bananas!
        
        I'm sorry my original comment lacked clarity.
        
        meetyourmaker on 31/03/2020 - 13:13
        
        @dm01: Oh I completely understand what you're trying to convey, however I don't find it ironic for this specific scenario.
        
        The fact that you need to soak an electric toothbrush base into a solvent such as bleach, that is not a part of its recommended cleaning/maintenance just to prevent staining/mould on the handle due to the design of its base is the problem. 5 minutes every 30 to 60 days is optimistic - you need to soak it in bleach for 6+ hours just to remove the surface staining of the rubber. Furthermore. who is to say that this is even safe for the materials to be subjected to such a strong solvent.
        
        It's really no different than someone complaining that their specific model of car requiring a specific and non-documented bi-monthly engine clean due to their choice of materials/design that majority of makes do not require - regardless of the fact that the person drives twice a day, twice a week/month/year. Whether or not driving twice a day drives me bananas or not, to most, is a necessity.
        
        Though it's all first world problems, just highlighting the design flaw of the handles which is easily preventable from purchasing a toothbrush with a solid base (preferably metal construction) that does not use the cheap Oral-B rubbers for other potential buyers :)
        
        dm01 on 31/03/2020 - 13:50
        
        @meetyourmaker:
        
        The fact that you need to soak an electric toothbrush base into a solvent such as bleach…
        
        I've had the same Oral B electric toothbrush handle for 4 years now, and it's not an issue I've encountered
        
        Furthermore. who is to say that this is even safe for the materials to be subjected to such a strong solvent…
        
        Given that such an action is - as you said - "…not a part of its recommended cleaning/maintenance" and is presumably a cleaning methodology you've undertaken voluntarily without consulting with the manufacturer, if it's not actually safe to use a solvent as you've described, that's no fault of the manufacturer or the handle, is it?
        
        …5 minutes every 30 to 60 days is optimistic - you need to soak it in bleach for 6+ hours just to remove the surface staining of the rubber…
        
        Of those 6+ hours soaking, do you spend the entirety of it sitting there watching? Or do you spend a few minutes getting the dilution ready, adding the handle, and then go do other things for while?
        
        Your car analogy is poorly chosen I'm afraid. You're not performing a "specific and non-documented bi-monthly engine clean", but running it through the car wash, so to speak.
        
        How often a car needs to be washed probably varies a lot depending on the owner's driving habits - where and how far they go, the type of roads it's driven on, whether it gets parked outside under a tree full of berry-eating birds or inside a dry, clean garage etc.
        
        meetyourmaker on 31/03/2020 - 18:13
        
        @dm01: That's great that you have had no issues for the last 4 years, myself and a few others on this specific thread have already stated that the cheap rubber handles on the Oral-B toothbrushes are prone to staining and mould.
        
        The discussion and argument is about the fact that the only way to clean it once it stains or is moulding is through soaking it in bleach - there is no other reactive method of cleaning it off, and as stated by yourself, it isn't even an authorized way of cleaning by the manufacturer and therefore why I'm hesitant on constantly using that method. What are you even trying to argue here? I'm saying that I should not and do not want to do it when addressing your initial comment of "oh what's the big deal about doing it regularly when you brush your teeth twice a day".
        Again, 5 minutes, 6 hours, 30 weeks soaking, this is completely irrelevant when it should not be done at all - and as evident, not required by other brands such as Sonicare that are not prone at all to the same issue.
        
        The car analogy does the job fine, whether it's the engine, or the tyres, or whatever else - it's about as irrelevant as your comparison to soaking it in bleach vs "running it through a car wash". The point is, that a similar product that does not adopt the same design whereby there is no unsealed gap between the rubber and plastic has no issues in the same test conditions and environment. If I had two cars, that are subjected to the same conditions, driven twice a day, and say one of them constantly created far more brake dust due to caliper design than the other - obviously I'm going to take notice and express my thoughts.
        
        Note** this is purely my biggest and only negative experience with the Oral-B brushes, that have otherwise been perfect, I've just switched to Sonicare ones and hope it helps those who have the same issue. So really, why the persistence? I apologize in not clarifying that someone opting to forego spending additional time bleaching their toothbrush handle does not correlate to someone cleaning their teeth daily.

        @meetyourmaker: "there is no other reactive method of cleaning it off"
        
        Try white vinegar (spraying it on, not necessarily soaking in it). Bleach often just, well, bleaches the mould but doesnt kill it, so that you can't see it and think it is gone, but it is still there. Vinegar will actually kill the mould.
        
        meetyourmaker on 01/04/2020 - 14:45
        
        @Astronaut Joe: Thanks, I actually just let it soak in white vinegar in a shotglass with the toothbrush handle overnight but it didn't seem to do anything at all.
        
        The gap between the rubber and plastic ends up expanding and the mould/black stains grow with it over time and is from within - the bleaching just seems to whiten it and remove the surface mould.
        
        It just ended up being easier to manage and avoid by storing the brush upside down or sideways so the water residue doesn't flow down and get stuck in between the poorly designed base lid.

        @diazepam: I remove the head from the body, and give both a VERY thorough rinse after brushing then dry off on a small towel on the benchtop that I use only for this (which gets thrown into the laundry weekly). That way when you put it back on the charging station, there is minimal amount of moisture for it to promote bacteria and mould growth. I have a window right next to the vanity which gets a few hours of direct morning sun which helps to discourage any growth of mould. Also, I wash the charging base thoroughly with soap and water whenever it needs it.

  - meetyourmaker on 31/03/2020 - 13:20
    
    Most if not all the Oral-B ones have the same design, whereby there is a gap that separates the rubber on the handle to the charging base below, which is a flawed design as the end user is not supposed to open it up from the bottom anyways.
    
    Look at getting the Sonicare ones, they are universally praised as being superior in build, although they don't have the same oscillating brush heads which some people think are more effective at cleaning your teeth and are more expensive and never as heavily discounted as Oral-B.

Chargers are mostly the same.
9000 and 8000 models oscillate faster than 7000.
Tip to keep clean… Rinse upside down after use.

y2k on 30/03/2020 - 17:00

I don't care much about the smart features, but if it oscillates more ie is more powerful, I'm interested - does anyone know where to find the stats on oscillation for each model? I've struggled to

bargainparker on 30/03/2020 - 17:27

They tested it and found that more oscillations doesn't translates to better cleaning. I was researching whether more was better, but the reality is it is like having a glass of water under the tap. Once you fill it in, the rest is just overflowing. You are not getting the benefits of more. Just the manufacturers spiel so you think wow, so good.

I've been using the Colgate sonic toothbrush for a while now and I'm looking at switching. This might be a good time.

I've had mine since Dec 2018. Still works okay. How long does the handle last for everyone before the spin speed starts slowing down?

  Had a Trizone 5000 since mid 2015 that lasted ok until a month ago. Did sound like it was struggling towards the end, but then just stopped turning on.

    5 years is very decent! If mine lasts 5 years I would be happy.

You can buy cheap USB Chargers for these on Aliexpress which are great for travelling.

  I replaced mine with one of these off of eBay.
  
  Way cheaper, universal micro USB input. It’s tiny and perfect for travel too since you can charge it off any USB port

    Which one off eBay please?
- hotwinter on 30/03/2020 - 17:51
  
  Don't know how long it will last before that Micro USB port rust out.
- cyssero on 30/03/2020 - 19:57
  
  Great idea! The stock chargers don't support international voltages (no 110v) and are susceptible to dying if used in Asian countries with less stable supply. USB would solve this!

Looks like this hero that baits everyone on toothbrush deals has finally had his secret source revealed?
- batrarobin on 30/03/2020 - 18:16
  
  A self proclaimed hero, maybe?

Link is a 404 error?
jeffr on 30/03/2020 - 18:22

Links not working.. anyone else found the 9000?

The best part about using non genuine brush heads is that you don't get the annoying messages to replace the head at a ridiculously early but corporate friendly time.

White 6 mode handle for Smart Series 7000 Toothbrush with type number 3764

Please note: this handle only suits charger with type 3757, 210-220V
$74

  Yes, but for some reason that is not what the current generation of "smart 7000" uses. Maybe this is the "White 7000".
  We have a "smart 7000" in the house, and it has a different handle (3765).

looks like they’ve taken the product down completely.
they’re onto us!

  Maybe sold out. Maybe wondering how come they got so many orders for spare parts in one day :)
footyboy on 11/04/2020 - 18:09

Anyone found this in stock?
- Make it so on 11/04/2020 - 18:39
  
  They had stock when I ordered, and it's underway. Waiting for delivery - Auspost taking twice as long now, which is understandable.
- quackie on 12/04/2020 - 12:14
  
  It's showing up in the website now but at $98 for the handle.
