Oral-B Genius 9900 Electric Toothbrush with Position Detection, with 2nd Handpiece and Travel Case, Rose Gold and Black

Product Information

The default is for a white light, but you can customise this using the Oral-B smartphone app to select your own colour. In terms of functionality and features, the more inexpensive Oral-B Genius X doesn’t differ all that much from the premium iO range, especially when compared to the entry-level iO4 and iO5 brushes. But there’s nothing to stop you from recycling batteries and cables, and a growing number of brands are offering recycling services.

The iO comes with a brush head refill holder for 2 heads compared to the brush head storage compartment for up to 4 heads with the Genius 9000. You may be better off with your standard charger if you want fast-charging on a phone or tablet, though. There are a multitude of possible options and combinations, as well as special promotions, so if the image is what moves you, you can find the one that best suits your style. Powerful vibrations force toothpaste and fluid between the teeth, granting a more comprehensive clean.The iO has AI and 3D tracking of the clean compared to the Genius 9000, setup that relies on tracking via the front facing camera of a smartphone. The Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige is another impressive electric toothbrush designed to improve your technique long-term by monitoring your brushing and giving real-time feedback. Compare this to the iO that does not have the same panel design, because sat between the power and mode button is an LED display that allows you to interact with the handle.

Oral-B Genius 9900 Electric Toothbrush with Position

Sporting a slightly chunkier handle than other models, a body full of icons and the glowing colour ring at the top, this certainly looks like a high-end toothbrush. There are six modes to choose from (daily clean, intense, whiten, sensitive, gum care, and tongue clean), though the app doesn't describe the differences between them. The signature, round oscillating head is powered by five brushing modes and the brush still links up with Oral-B’s excellent app, which can give you insights into your brushing performance, as long as you put in the time with it. The Genius X is the better of the two brushes as its Bluetooth connectivity and brush tracking is much simpler to use. You will very quickly find that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the functionality and practicality of the Oral-B Genius 9900 Electric Toothbrush.

Oscillating toothbrushes feature rotating and pulsating round brush heads that can rotate up to ~8,000 times per minute, depending on the model.

Oral-B Genius 9900 electric toothbrushes have an intuitive brushing system that helps you brush like your dentist recommends. Despite this the iO4 retains the most essential smarts of the more expensive brushes, with an LED pressure warning, the usual buzzing timers and accompanying app which lets you choose one of four brushing modes. As the Genius 9000 has been on the market since 2016 it is subject to further discounts and promotional pricing. Oral-B has thus renamed the triple movement carried out by the heads of its electric toothbrushes: oscillation, rotation and pulsation emission.It probably goes without saying, that whilst the Genius 9000 setup kind of works it is the much more awkward approach.
