Oral-B Pulsonic Slim Luxe 4500 Electric Sonic Toothbrush for Healthier Gums in 4 Weeks, 3 Cleaning Programmes Including Sensitive, Timer, 2 Replacement Brushes, Travel Case, Black

Product Information

To fix this, try running the toothbrush’s top section (around the plastic connector and metal shaft) under warm water for at least ten seconds. Then, see if you can pull the extra bit off. You might have to give it quite a forceful tug, but it should come right off. If it does, your new brush head should fit. Aside from the colour of the brush the physical size and shape are identical and you would not be able to tell the two apart unless you noticed the additional cleaning mode icon found on the 9000. 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. They do also offer an automatic power off feature which in my opinion is the best feature and most applicable of all additions over the basic cleaning mode.

There are pros and cons to each and it is possible one brand will appeal to you more than the other. A new magnetic charger means the brush can be recharged in as little as 3 hours, rather than the more typical 12. My toothbrush handle is “Type 3762,” while my roommate’s charging stand is “Type 3757.” I know the two are supposed to be compatible, but is their US-UK difference a problem? Typically Sonicare brushes last for 2 or more weeks. 3 weeks is the average, with some lasting as long as 5 weeks between charges, and that is with twice daily use.

Hopefully the various sections of this post have helped you to understand the differences between Oral-B and Sonicare.

Whilst the evidence is that there is a fairly certain small benefit, whether this will make much difference in the mouth is unclear. This is because results from tests in the lab do not automatically translate to real world scenarios. It’s a bit of a hassle as you need to stand almost perfectly still in front of your camera and a smartphone holder like this is not what most of us want in a bathroom.

Customer reviews

We also have separate buying guides on Oral-B brush heads and Sonicare brush heads that explain the difference between the brushes. If you invest in the Sonicare ExpertClean, DiamondClean or Prestige series you get provided with an excellent quality travel case that allows the brush to be charged in the case. Just connect the cable to a USB port. Deciding which brand of electric toothbrush is right for you has likely been more confusing and complicated than you originally thought. Smaller and less unsightly, it is designed to sit on a worktop rather than adhere to a wall or mirror. 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.
