Why an electric toothbrush?
For a lot of people, the utility aspect of a toothbrush isn’t the only reason to have one. They really want something that not only functions well and serves it’s purpose as a toothbrush, but looks positively awesome sitting there on the shelf too. They want something that’s as much art as it is a tool for oral hygiene.
An electric toothbrush tends to sit on the shelf in your bathroom like a tiny little trophy or piece of art, on display for every guest to see. It would make perfect sense to try to find something a little cooler and a little more sophisticated than the plain white models that are typically available.
What’s the difference?
The difference is mostly in the looks, as this is purely just a color change. One difference is in the way the toothbrush looks after it’s been used, as leftover toothpaste tends to just blend in with white models but stands out with a black model. A black electric toothbrush with toothpaste residue tends to look dirty and unkept, so make sure to keep it clean between uses.
Are there any downsides?
There aren’t a lot of downsides, as this is a purely aesthetic change that has no real bearing on functionality. The only real downside is that if you’re looking for a very specific color, in this case, black, your options can be quite limited as not every manufacturer is offering their models in customizable colors. Luckily we’ve reviewed the black models and found the absolute best in terms of both looks, functionality, and price.
Oral B Genius Pro 8000 Electric Toothbrush Review
We’ve taken a look at a bunch of the models and offerings from the major toothbrush manufacturers, and this is probably one of the most sophisticated and modern looking models available today. It’s not so much a toothbrush as it is a little piece of eye candy for the bathroom.
In terms of functionality, the Oral B Genius Pro 8000 Electric Toothbrush packs what you’d expect from a top of the line model. It comes equipped with a variety of pulsating and oscillating settings, each specifically designed to help clean more thoroughly and under different conditions. For people with receding gum lines or tooth sensitivity, you’ll want to check out the gentle option and the sophisticated pressure sensor that prevents you from applying too much force while brushing. Oddly enough, this is something a lot of people make mistakes on. This is a case where more force isn’t the best, you want to be gentle and the sensors on the brush allow you to optimize for this.
There’s also an interesting new feature, Oral-B’s new “SmartGuide” that helps you through the ropes, learning to brush properly and spend the appropriate amount of time on each quadrant of your mouth.
The built-in timer also is pre-programmed with a wide variety of brush timings, each interval specifically designed by dentists and adhering to the latest in dental recommendations.
At the end of the day, this brush will look great in your bathroom and do it’s job. The great thing about Oral-B is that they offer a 60 day guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the improvement in your overall oral hygiene, go ahead and return it for a no questions asked refund.
