Ai…lol
SB cashback was 5% just a few days ago. Down to 3.5% now.
Is this the 9000 upgrade?
Yes
Oral B Genius 10000 2018
Oral B Genius ai/x 2019
and
Oral B IO 2020 is the latest model sadly not available here yet.Genius 10000 = Genius X = Genius AI
Unfortunately. They have changed the brush head for Genius IO.
Also a new motor in the IO, apparently quieter operation, I’d imagine that extends into the attachment style.
When do you think we are likely to see the Oral-B IO down under? I am guessing by Christmas (if we are lucky).
I was ready to bite on this deal, but I think I will now wait for the IO 2020.Thanks for the heads up. IO looks like a complete new design. Looks like worth the wait
Only improvement is that you do not need to use your phone camera to track your brushing however you still need your phone on to track it.
I have read a dentist's article about electric toothbrushes and there he said that Braun Oral-b are the best type, however, there are no benefits of any lines above 4000. As anything over uses exactly the same speed, power and oscilation types. You can see so clealry here where is the borderline of a wasteful purchase.
I'd always wondered about the speed, power and oscillation types between models - unsurprisingly Oral B don't make it easy to compare, and certainly don't mention that the 4000 and the 9000 have the same speed and power.
This page suggests that from the Pro 7500 onwards (inc the whole Genius range) the oscillations and pulsations are the same: https://www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-cleaning-modes-explaine… but also that it doesn't make that much difference.
That said, I'm sure the built in USB charging in the Genius range's travel case may be worth the extra cost for frequent travellers who find it a hassle to bring a separate charger.
I do like the idea of the Genius X's AI telling me about my brushing patterns…I won't be looking at my mobile in the bathroom but afterwards I'll be curious to see if I'm favouring one part of my mouth etc.
I agree.
I used to buy the higher end models years back and eventually the Bluetooth ones. Now my last one bought the bare minimum (the 2000 model) that did that amount of oscillations/pulsations per minute. The rest are just gimmicks.
Considering jumping ship now and going Soocas X3U or Oclean X Pro. It shit's me that you pay hundreds for OralB yet it takes overnight to charge, when these other toothbrushes can charge in 2 or 4 hours and have USB-C charging, for example. At a fraction of the price.
I am not sure why, but for some reason brands like Panasonic and Braun stack to Ni-MH batteries instead of Li. Panasonic has only just switched their body trimmers to lithium batteris.
Lithium lasts longer so not sure either except money grabs.
The AI has Li battery.
I'm not a dentist, but I have teeth and I've tried both and find the Philips far better than the OralB.
Placebo?
Philips just oscilates. Oral-b rotates AND oscilates as the same speed as Philips. What is your judgement based on?The Philips kind of vibrates. The OralB has a mechanical rotation. It feels agricultural compared to the Philips. The heads (expensive for both) last far longer on the Philips.
The Philips uses Li-Ion batteries. When I had an OralB it wasn't (might be now).
BTW - I've also tried the Philips Airflosser (junk) and the Waterpik (really good).
@wfdTamar: Sorry, my bad. What I meant to say was that both vibrate. But whilst Philips just vibrates, OralB also oscilates (rotates).
So, in theory, OralB should be more effective. Tests usually prove that as well.
Philips is also likely to fail after two years. If you're lucky, it'll fail before the warranty period ends. Otherwise you have a very expensive brick.
I had one fail before warranty ended and got a replacement. Now the replacement unit is failing.
There's a flaw with the design of the toothbrush. The two screws aren't strong enough to prevent the coil from hitting the magnet. It's a very common problem so stay away from Philips!
im done with oralB , was a loyal customer for many many years
expensive, their charging time is ridiculously long and not much features compare with xiaomi and the likes. bye bye
Is there really any extra benefit for my teeth between this and the model I get for $19.99 at woollies or Coles?
Yes, definitely. You can feel the difference because of the difference in speed of the brush head. However, there is no difference between the 8000, 9000 and this one in terms of cleaning.
So which is the best to get for best clean?
Any one of the ones I listed above.
seriously. of course different. gee
There's different modes/programs (think fitbit training) and you can share your results to social media (strictly for the dentist for me).
Sensitive gums are usually caused by brushing too hard. Using this will help as it has a sensor to warn you that you are brushing too hard. It is also effective in preventing plaque build up near the gums which causes gingivitis which make the gums sensitive. Using sensodyne also helps and don’t forget to floss and use mouth wash like listerine. The other thing I recommend is to use GC Tooth Moose. Spread it over the sensitive tooth and leave it overnight.
nice! with the new updated AI, this thing will brush itself!
