At times I have found these distracting, you may want to customise the settings to avoid some notifications.
The short answer to your question, is that as far as I am aware from my own hands on testing, the experience is nigh on identical. To fit or remove the brush head simply align the metal with the hole in the shaft of the brush head and push the two together until you hear and feel them clip into place. Several other people remarked that they were happy to find that the toothbrush is compatible with Oral-B toothbrush heads across the range – good to know if you’ve got a stash of heads waiting to be used (you can still make use of them with your new toothbrush). The Smart 4 uses a handle design that has been tried, tested and perfected over many years and I really can’t find any obvious faults with it. It is well built and solid in hand.
Price, how much to pay and what it is worth is different in everyone’s eyes. The prices do vary from one retailer to another and can change at different times of the year. At €80 it is not the absolute best price, but it is far from the worst price that your friend could have paid for it. As good as the app is, I feel this may also be one of the negatives as some will not see the point of using it or find it more hassle than it’s worth. You don’t have to if you don’t want to. Buy the Genius 9000 and although you have to power the brush on to change the cleaning mode, if you have changed the mode, it will remember it. Next time you power the brush on, it will begin in that mode. The Oral-B Smart 4000 CrossAction electric toothbrush does not do this.
GDC number: 259369. Gemma qualified from Cardiff University School of Dentistry with BDS(Hons) in 2015. In our testing, we were able to get 66 minutes of usage time from the rush, which equates to 16 days use. The Oral-B Pro 2 2000 has 2 cleaning modes, the Pro 3 3000 has 3 cleaning modes, the Smart 5 5000 has 5 cleaning modes, so as you would imagine the Smart 4 has 3 cleaning modes….Yes, I know, I can’t quite figure that out either. Now, this leads me to one of the biggest problems with the Oral-B Smart 4000 and that is the box contents.One of the benefits with the Smart 4 is that you do get 2 of the same brush heads included, so if you like that style of brush head you do save yourself a little on the cost. In the unlikely event, something goes wrong, there is as standard a 24 month warranty is provided with the 4000. This covers the battery too. Register the brush online and you get an extra 12 months at no extra cost, so 36 months or 3 years in total. Ideally, a way of selecting the mode prior to actually turning the brush on would be the solution. This is not available, not even on the premium Genius 9000 model. The key reason that the SmartSeries 4000 has been updated to this, the Smart 4 4000 is battery life. If you are particularly interested in the feature set of the Smart 4 4000, the Oral-B Teenhas identical technical specs, but can be snapped up cheaper. The only differences are the design and box contents.
You can find much more detail on each mode and how they compare in our article, Oral-B cleaning modes explained. This is not the most ludicrous given some of the RRP’s for other brushes, but it is still more than you should pay.
It is important for your oral health to replace your toothbrush head every 3 months or sooner if your bristles are frayed. Between brands and even different ranges from the same brand, the design and feel of a brush in hand can differ, however, most have a fairly slim, rounded profile to them. I now have only one last dilemma (always because of the cloudy product series definition of Oral B). for instance, the 4000N in the UK has a Brush stand with room for 2 heads but in other countries the 4000N has a brush stand plus a Storage compartment for 4 heads!
Great Deal
