I recently purchased this toothbrush. I absolutely adore it! The brush features are outstanding for most users and the choice of different brush heads from current and past oral-b brush models made this brush the one to purchase for me! A bit more variety than the Philips Sonicare brushes. All brush heads work in their own way to remove plaque, bacteria, and food particles from teeth, gums, tongue, roof of mouth, cheeks, and to freshen breath.
i love this brush and the app and dont mind that there is no percentage on the brush. but yes, the app should have a percentage indicator for battery. my fitbit app at very least tells me when the bracelet is low
@@ElectricTeeth I just bought x2 8000 Genius es today. Our first electric toothbrushes. Also bought a charcoal Oral-B brush & Crest Charcoal toothpaste, lets see what it does for results!
To change this, press and hold the mode button (downward arrow below on/off button) for 2 seconds. Toggle between timer selection by pressing the on/off button.

Different brushes can have different names in different markets. The box contents can differ too. If you are in the USA, it is the Genius Pro 8000 that is the main model that is sold. Some may call it just the Genius 8000. However the Genius 8000 in the UK is slightly different to the Genius Pro 8000 in the USA for example.
Hi there. Would you be able to tell me the difference between the Genius Pro 6000 and the Genius Pro 8000? I recently ordered the 6000 on Amazon in black which is supposed to feature an additional tongue cleaning mode. Basically the handle appears to be the same as the 8000. However I noticed that some models of the 6000 do not feature the tongue cleaning mode. Is there 2 different versions of the 6000 model? Any response is appreciated.
The US variant of the Genius Pro 6000 as standard does not have the tongue cleaning mode. You can see the specs on Oral-B's site. oralb.com/en-us/oral-b-genius-6000-rechargeable-electric-toothbrush/ This tongue mode is available on the Genius Pro 8000. There may well be a version of the 6000 with tongue cleaning mode. This does exist in other countries, but not in the USA as far as I am aware. However, I may have missed this model with tongue cleaning mode. The following article compares the 2 models and lists out the key differences: www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-6000-vs-8000/ I hope this helps.
The two year warranty is a total farce! I love this brush, but the motor tends to die within the 2 year warranty window. I’ve had this happen with my two prior Oral- B brushes. Good luck getting a replacement (or your money back)!!! P&G will make you jump through SO many hoops - that you’ll give up in utter frustration. Starting with their horrific phone menus … to the surly agents who aren’t able to help … to supervisors who aren’t available & won’t back to you. Once again, love the product! But be prepared to replace it within two years. Which makes it a much more expensive product!
Sorry to read this. From what I have experienced their online systems for arranging returns are generally ok. Had you tried this and still had an issue?
Jace, There are several key differences, which I will list below. However, the short answer, is buy the Pro 8000. The Pro 8000 has 6 cleaning modes compared to the 5 on the Pro 5000. The extra mode is Tongue Clean. The Pro 8000 has a 14 day battery life compared to the 10 days of the Pro 5000. The battery used in the 8000 is Li-ion compared to the NiMH in the 5000. The 8000 looks different. Slimmer in hand and more stylish in my opinion. The 8000 comes with a travel case that allows it to be charged inside, something the 5000 does not have. The 8000 has enhanced position detection, so it can track the location of the toothbrush in the mouth to help you learn how to brush better. The 8000 comes with a smartphone holder to help achieve the position detection. The 8000 comes with 3 brush heads in the box compared to the 1 of the Pro 5000. The 8000 comes with a smart ring that can be customized 1 of 12 colors. The 8000 brush handle is available in more color options than the 5000. The 8000 has a more powerful motor in the brush. I hope that helps.
Your video is very helpful, thanks. On personal note, I purchased the brush and used it before realizing the brush way too techie for my needs. I love all my tech devices but for brushing my teeth I really hate having to read a user’s manual and watch video instructions. Kicking myself for this purchase. Now where’s my new phone, Apple pencil and iPad Pro user’s manuals…? (BTW - my old Sonicare brush, ran for two minutes and turned off, end-of-story.)
The ‘Pro’ is short for Professional. It is just slightly different naming conventions that Oral-B use across the globe. The Genius Pro 8000 is for the USA and is essentially the Genius 9000 in other places of the world. The Genius 9000 is the best brush from Oral-B. No need to worry, not a new model.
How come you're only now doing a review of the US flavour (Genius Pro 8000) of the Genius 9000, has it only just reached them? Been out for years elsewhere.
Hi Jared. Up until now we have focused mainly on UK products. Just a couple of guys running the site and channel so it takes a bit of time to get round to doing the videos, actually had a written review online for a good few month. Been requested to look at US products, hence the video. Even-though its been out a while makes sense to take a look at it so we are nice and familiar with it and hopefully makes our channel more complete for viewers.
Cool, if it's essentially *exactly the same* as the Genius 9000 (Aussie nomenclature sounds like it's the same as the UK), & there's no "new & improved" version out or coming soon -then I'm happy?!? I hate buying something, only to find a new revision has just hit the shelves, & improves things markedly in x way(s).
Yes they are really the same thing. I have no insider insights into new products, so I can't say if there is something new and improved coming, but not that I have heard or seen, so all being well you will be good for some time before something new and improved comes out.
Hi I live in Canada and I’m considering buying the genius 8000. I’ve seen the Oral B Genius 8000 in both black and rose gold here. Was wondering if you knew if they are exactly the same brush just different colour, or is one a newer model?
As far as I am aware, they are technically the same, just a different colour. Normally that is the case, if they have a different spec they normally have a different model number.
I am sorry you think this. I did use it and have continued to do so as my daily toothbrush since recording. I just don't actually show footage of me using it in this video. Happy to answer any questions you might have. 👍

Does the toothbrush charge via USB?

I listened the description of the toothbrush.I admire it .There are so many toothache problems in the world.That's the real solution for above matter.
thx much, getting it to replace my very old Oral B... choosing white over the black color
Bought mine last week for $40 each. And yes it was the ORAL B 8000 PRO
That is an incredible price Jamie.
Great video, thank you so much, you deserve much more views!
I just bought 2 for me and the Mrs. because of this video, thank you!
Glad you liked it.

i know you use the app, but where in the app do you change the color?
In the latest version of the app it is under More>your brush

What’s difference from pro 5000 and this one? Pro 8000 is on sale for same price as 5000
Jace,
There are several key differences, which I will list below. However, the short answer, is buy the Pro 8000.
The Pro 8000 has 6 cleaning modes compared to the 5 on the Pro 5000. The extra mode is Tongue Clean.
The Pro 8000 has a 14 day battery life compared to the 10 days of the Pro 5000. The battery used in the 8000 is Li-ion compared to the NiMH in the 5000.
The 8000 looks different. Slimmer in hand and more stylish in my opinion.
The 8000 comes with a travel case that allows it to be charged inside, something the 5000 does not have.
The 8000 has enhanced position detection, so it can track the location of the toothbrush in the mouth to help you learn how to brush better.
The 8000 comes with a smartphone holder to help achieve the position detection.
The 8000 comes with 3 brush heads in the box compared to the 1 of the Pro 5000.
The 8000 comes with a smart ring that can be customized 1 of 12 colors.
The 8000 brush handle is available in more color options than the 5000.
The 8000 has a more powerful motor in the brush.
I hope that helps.

It’s Trailer Park Boys Bubbles talking about oral care. Who would have thought?!
The part about filming yourself daily with your cell phone is quite a turn off to me, but I just won’t use it.

Don't you love a British accent?! :-)
Yes definitely
