Oral-BGENIUS X Electric Toothbrush with 3 Oral-B Replacement Brush Heads and Toothbrush Case, White (Packaging May Vary)

We have used Oral B electric toothbrushes for very many years and have been very happy with their cleaning ability and ease of use. Our last one was finally on its last legs so we upgraded to this model. It is WAY more powerful than our previous one so has taken time to get used to. Also, we thought the travel case was a nice idea - as we travel (or used to pre CoVid). However, after getting we realized it might not be worth the extra money. We still have to pack the power cord - just not the little round charging unit. That is all you save in packing space. I was hoping we could add our toothpaste or floss into the travel case but cannot do. In retrospect, I would not get the version with travel case and just carry the toothbrush base and charging cube separately, I could pack them around other items in my suitcase. Yes, there is an additional USB port to charge my iPhone, etc but I already pack those items. For us, packing the toothbrush handle, the toothbrushes, the power cord and small charging stand are easier to pack. Would have save us $50 or so. But, the toothbrush itself is great and I would recommend it to anyone. I can't speak to the bluetooth connectivity or their program as we do not use it.

I have had many electric toothbrushes in my life, but the Oral B Genius has some key features that puts it in a league of its own. There is a two-minute timer, and it also alerts the user at 1/4 intervals, in case you are brushing in four quadrants. The best feature is a red light when you are brushing too hard. And if you really want a gold star from your dentist, you can connect to an app on your smart phone which assesses the quality of your brushing and points out areas where you may need more focused effort. The battery recharges overnight and then stays charged for a solid week. There are many other features, too, like different speeds and settings if you want some variety, plus different brush heads. There is nothing I do not like about this toothbrush.

I have had two kinds of electric toothbrushes, and Oral-B is by far the better choice. The rotating head does an extremely good job of cleaning all surfaces of the teeth if one correctly moves the brush around the mouth. The connection to one's wireless phone makes it easy to learn how to brush correctly and thoroughly. This NEW model of the ORAL-B has an improved camera function that does a 100% better job of tracking the brush's movement to determine where one has brushed. It has several programs which may be selected to promote focusing on various types of issues (e.g., gum health, plaque reduction, etc.). On the plaque reduction mode, it gives 30-second notifications for each of 6 areas of the mouth (left top, left bottom, front top, front bottom, right top, and right bottom). If one follows this 30-second brushing notification, one will have brushed 3 minutes in total and have covered the entire mouth. Following this, one moves to cleaning the tongue. Then, one is reminded to floss, and to rinse with a mouthwash. The brush keeps all the data stored on one's phone and reports a score for each day's brushing. This brush is a tremendous improvement over ORAL-B's prior models. I highly recommend this to anyone wishing to improve their dental health.

I've been holding off writing this review to see if Braun/Oral B were going to do the right thing and ensure I received the product I paid for. They never did.To make a long story short, the Position Detection feature kept this brush in the repair shop more times than in my bathroom. It worked great for a few months, but then the Position Detection would stop working. When you brush, there is a "map" of your teeth and the brushing progress would show up as you go. However after a few months this feature stopped working entirely.Customer Service (CS) would blame it on my iPhone, so I tried other phones, loaded the Oral B app and it still didn't work. CS then blamed the app developer. So my wife bought exactly the same brush and it worked fine on my phone and hers. At this point CS had to surmise it was a defective brush (duh) and authorized a replacement.Over the course of 2 years (the warranty period) I sent it in 5 times. Given the shipping and bench time, I probably lost another 6 months so only got 1.5 years of actual use. Once the clock struck 2 years and the warranty ran out, CS refused to authorize any further replacement. At that point I asked what is the expected life for this brush and they said 3-5 years. But I only got 1.5 years, what gives?Now they're back blaming the app developer again with promises that the next version will work. It hasn't happened. Save yourself some money and headache and avoid this model if you want Position Detection. I ended up buying a lower version that has a slight different way to do PD, but it works fine and at a fraction of the cost. Good luck and happy brushing.
