- So when it comes to choosing a toothbrush,
there are lots of choices available,
and Oral-B are one of the leading brands
when it comes to electric toothbrushes.
The Genius 8,000 and 9,000 are amongst their premium range
of toothbrushes, offering lots of features
and functionality.
But what are the difference between these two brushes
and also the 8,900?
Well, in this video, we're going to explain those differences.
(chime ringing)
So here, in black, I have the Genius 9,000
and in white, the Genius 8,000.
So what sets these two brushes apart as well as the 8,900?
Well, to make things simple,
the 8,900
is a package that contains two of the 8,000 brush handles.
You get the exact same box contents as you would
with the Genius 8,000;
but with the 8,900, you get two brush handles
and not one brush handle
as you would get with the Genius 8,000.
So with the difference between the eight
and 8,900 explained,
what is the difference between the 8,000 and 9,000?
Well, there aren't all that many differences.
So let's start with the most obvious one, colour.
So here I've got a black Genius 9,000 and a white 8,000.
The Genius 9,000 is also available in white colour,
so black and white handle colours;
whereas the 8,000 is available only in white.
Another difference is the cleaning mode.
The Genius 9,000, which is essentially
the more premium brush,
offers one additional cleaning mode.
That's a tongue cleaning mode and that's something
that the 8,000 does not have.
When it comes to box contents, the Genius 9,000
also has one additional brush head included in the box.
That additional brush head is the floss action brush head
which can be purchased separately if required.
The other major difference between these two brushes
comes down to the box contents again.
In the box with the Genius 9,000 you get
the most premium travel case and that travel case
not only holds the brush handle itself
and up to two brush heads,
it also allows for the brush to be charged in the case.
Now that case is slightly more premium,
it's got a slightly nicer feel to it, slightly more solid.
It's also heavier because it's got the charging components
in that travel case.
So you can charge the Genius 9,000 in its travel case,
but one extra little feature that it has,
is the fact that the travel case has a USB port on it
so you can connect up a USB cable;
say for example, the USB cable that you would use
to charge your mobile phone.
Connect that to the travel case,
and you can in turn charge your mobile phone
or other technology product from the travel case
for the Genius 9,000.
So the Genius 9,000 has its own power adapter
that connects to the two-pin socket
that in turn connects to the case itself
in which the Genius 9,000 is sat and that's now charging.
And then you can use the USB port on the case
to connect a USB cable and charge
your mobile technology products.
So overall, there's not all that many differences
between these three brushes.
If you want our opinion on which one to go for,
for the very small price difference
at the time of recording, which is as little
as 10 pounds difference in the price;
the Genius 9,000 is the one to go for.
It has a better box content,
it comes in two different colour options,
and the travel case, one of the key differences,
is considerably more premium.
But if you don't travel, it might not be worth going for
and therefore the Genius 8,000 could be
a good option for you.
And then also, if there's a family sort of setup
and you want more than one brush handle,
the 8,900 is also one worth looking at.
Either way, all three of the mentioned brushes
are extremely good, they're high-end brushes
that are going to give you a lot more features
than the entry level brushes available from Oral-B.
So, we hope you found this useful.
