About this deal
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? Both brushes offer Bluetooth connectivity, which means that they connect to an Android or iOS smartphone via an app. Both models offer most of the benefits of an electric toothbrush without having to pay ‘too’ much for them. In the sections below we compare Oral-B brushes that are close to each other in price and features. Model by model comparison Pro 600 vs Pro 2 2000
Smart Series: The Smart series builds on the Pro series with Bluetooth connectivity and basic smart features. Some models are quite old now, but still effective. 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. You have a dedicated cleaning mode button too. Press this to change cleaning modes on the 9000. With the 5000 you have to press the power button multiple times. 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. brushing modes: Daily Clean, Sensitive and unique Sensitive Plus mode for an amazingly gentle experienceAfter each brushing session, remove the brush head and thoroughly rinse both the brush head and the handle under running water.
There are fewer gloss plastics and large expanses of rubber grips, with a much more exclusive looking design.
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. It does not mean the brush will actually clean the teeth better. In fact, both have the same motor inside and the same cleaning modes. On the rear of the handle rather than raised plastic ridges, the 3000 has a more subtle dimpled surface.
