Oral-B Genius X Review [USA]

[@squangan]

Oral B warranty is good as well. 22 months into ownership my Genius X quite working and Oral B replaced it without any hassle under their 2 year warranty.

[@joeyb60]

Soooooo much information. Thank you!!

[@DeadDad1]

I just recently bought a Genius X and it looks like Oral-B heard your complaint about the travel case. They "fixed" it by just reverting to a cheap plastic case with no capabilities other than holding the brush and two heads. I also find it a pain to get positioning to match the app. It thinks I am brushing my top teeth when really I am at the bottom. I expect better than this for the price tag. Thank you for your review, it's good to hear I am not the only one with positioning issues.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Eric. Yes, I think they have released a new version with a different case. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Another benefits of the genius will prevent you from pressing too hard. Since it light than older Oral b models.

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

I notice the app detects position of the toothbrush better when shift the brush, than pick up the brush and placing down onto the next tooth.

[@pilkjaer]

I don't understand the hype around the charging case. To begin with, it's very seldom when you are away for more than a week. So with 2 weeks of battery charge 2 people can use it for a week during a vacation for example. When i travel i never take my electrical brush with me. I use normal brush. It takes almost no space, i can use it as long as i need, you don't need to worry about chargers or elecrical circuits and most important of all - there will be ABSOLUTELY no issue if it will be dropped, stolen or lost along with the luggage. Travel light and leave electrical brush at home. You will survive couple of days/weeks without it.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Fair point Anthony. I will always take my electric with me. Only in very rare instances would I take a manual in preference. It ultimately depends on your lifestyle. Some people spend far more time on the road travelling with work etc that the case becomes important to them.

[@isaacogunmuko3947]

Electric Teeth when using the app should user follow the 6 section breakdown or 4 quadrant breakdown? 4 Quadrant breakdown: 1. Upper left 2. Upper right 3. Lower left 4. Lower right 6 section breakdown: 1. Upper left 2. Upper front 3. Upper right 4. Lower left 5. Lower front 6. Lower right

[@ElectricTeeth]

It is up to the user. Most will follow 4 quadrant approach. Providing all tooth surfaces are cleaned equally over the minute brushing cycle it doesn't really matter. 👍

[@louisle9162]

I will be honest.... i just want the nice case of the luxe edition. It doesnt even have to have the charging capabilities. I just like the box and pattern.

[@blahblah-ov5ev]

I got it for its case 😅 I hate travelling and putting my toothbrush in a zip lock to keep it clean so the case is awesome

[@davidfromdownunder]

Having a Samsung Flip 5 is going to make using the App a breeze hands free in 'Flex Mode'

[@garageofhorror5068]

I’m gonna pick it up now Black Friday Amazon only $100

[@أحمد-ع8ض8و]

There are no difference between genius x 10000 & the genius 9000 they are identical in every aspect the only difference is prices, by the way I own both of them and they are both good.

[@thethongphan]

Do you happen to know what the Genius AI is? I live in Australia and I am trying to pick between the Genius AI and the Genius 9000 as there is a $70 difference

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hey. Yes, the Genius AI is the same as the Genius X, it is just a different name in Australia. So, the Genius AI means you can get the benefit of the position detection, without have to be stood in front of the camera on your smartphone like you do with the Genius 9000.

[@gersonpina3053]

[@pingsmoth]

I bought a Genius X "Professional Exclusive" from my dentist for about half the price of a Genius X from mainstream vendors like Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. Do you know if it's the same toothbrush or if there is some noticeable differences? It seems like the only variations I could find are what's included in the package, not the brush itself.

[@ElectricTeeth]

It is normally the same product. The box contents is usually the difference. Sometimes brands offer discounted models to dentists that they can sell to patients at a good price. Half price is very good!

[@simonringsmuth5172]

[@leahfarron3449]

Great review! Was recommended this toothbrush from my dentist. Price point was fine but don't need all the phone options. The dentist's main concern was that I'm brushing way too hard and major plaque issues. (The "feather" feature, and something to warn me when I'm brushing too hard sounds like the features I need to focus on.) Is there a better toothbrush for my needs that I should invest in? Thanks!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Leah, potentially look at the Oral-B Pro 3000. It has a pressure sensor and sensitive cleaning mode, but is cheaper. Battery life is only 1 week, but it doesn't have lots of features that you might not use.

[@lisab.1595]

Never thought I'd live to see the day toothbrushes run into hundreds of dollars. There's even a titanium toothbrush that costs $4,000.00. Toothbrush inflation???

[@cbkae8119]

That’s nearly the price of braces alone 😳

[@marktepper3440]

I had the Sonicare, it doesn’t work as well as the Oral B.

[@Trave13r]

@ Electric Teeth, Honestly, I'm so confused. i really don't know which one to get. what would be the best Electric tooth brush that has best features all around and i'm okay to pay more or splurge? I am not convinced Oral B is the best (yet). would appreciate your help.:)

[@ElectricTeeth]

If you really want the best with all the features, I would suggest the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart. However, you could save around $150 and go for the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100, which is still a great brush, but does not have lots of extra features.

[@Trave13r]

@@ElectricTeeth Oh WOW that was a fast response. I will surely be checking out your videos on Diamond Clean Smart. Thanks so much!

What Is the difference between oral-b genius X vs luxe edition?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Box contents. Technically they are the same. Check out the 'Variants' section of our written review that explains the differences a bit more. www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-genius-x-review/

[@claudettesims9846]

Can two people can use the app on the same toothbrush, of course using two different toothbrush attachments?

[@ElectricTeeth]

In a way they can Claudette, but to be honest, it is far from an 'ideal' setup. If I may, please open this link and scroll down to the section 'Multiple Users' which explains how it works: www.electricteeth.com/oral-b-bluetooth-connectivity-explained/

[@hugohoydal4539]

What's the difference between "genius x 20400n" and "genius x 10000"? :)

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Hugo. I had not come across the 20400 until you mentioned it. However, I have now discovered this! To answer your question better, can you let me know which country you live in. The 20,400 seems to be a European model whereas the 10,000 is USA version. Essential it is the box contents that really sets them apart.

[@hugohoydal4539]

@@ElectricTeeth Thanks for a quick reply! I live in Denmark and I found the 20400 because I'm in the market for a new electric toothbrush :) I don't really have a budget I just want the best of the best.. And after some light research I found the 20400. Do you recommend anything else with no budget limit? :)

[@ElectricTeeth]

Thanks for the info. So, the Genius X 10,000 is the model primarily sold in the USA. In UK/Europe is the 20,000. The 20,400 is a variant of that. Its the box contents that differs. In Denmark the Genius X 20,000 (Luxe edition) comes with the handle, 4 x brush heads, charging stand and charging travel case. The 20,400 comes with the handle, 2 x brush heads, charging stand, charging travel case and brush head storage compartment. If money is no object, look at the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart. Its Sonicare's equivalent to the Genius X.

[@hugohoydal4539]

@@ElectricTeeth Thanks for the quick reply agian! So you would recommend the Sonicare over the Genius X? :) Could you maybe elaborate on this?

[@ElectricTeeth]

As an all round package yes. But only if money is no issue. This comparison video should help kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfNd6mYeNKMoMk Any questions let me know.

What's the difference between Genius 10 000N and 20 000N?

[@ElectricTeeth]

They are basically the same thing. The 10,000 is the version sold in the USA whilst the 20,000 is the one sold in the UK & Europe. The price and box contents will differ.

[@valerieantonella7032]

I have one like that I am pretty sure it’s the same one and I lost the charger so I bought another toothbrush to take the charger from that one and charge my toothbrush anyway because I didn’t have the charger I didn’t use it for a while I totally lost my old account on my phone so I created a new one so it noticed I had the toothbrush so it started trying to pair to the charger but it’s not being able to and I don’t know why do you have to have the specific charger it came with because the one that I am using is also Oral B and it charges the brush just fine I am just having problems pairing to the app if anyone can help it would be great 👍

[@ElectricTeeth]

You shouldn't need the specific charger that came in the box to pair with your smartphone. Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app? Make sure you give the app the permissions it requires, such as access to location. If you are still struggling to connect, it could be related to your specific mobile device, but that is unlikely. Could be worth a call to Oral-B to discuss.

[@user-oo8zt1sc1c]

Now they wanna make use phone to brush your teeth... Totally insane. Very good review, but ig ore all that phone related stuff.

[@vidform]

Does the app require you to sign up with a username and password? Where is your brushing data saved: on Oral-b's servers or directly on your smartphone? Can you use the toothbrush without the app? Will your brushing data be logged even if you forget to open the app? How do I recycle or donate my old Oral-b electric toothbrush?

[@ElectricTeeth]

No, the app does not require you to sign up with a username and password if I recall correctly. Data is stored on the phone, unless you create and/or sign into an Oral-B account where a backup of the data is then stored on Oral-B servers. As far as I am aware a copy remains on the phone. It is essentially mirrored to the Oral-B Servers should you move to a different phone for example. Yes, you can absolutely use the toothbrush without the app. You just won't get the real time tracking information as you brush. Some data will be retained by the handle and sync'd to the app should you connect in the future, but this is just basic information such as brushing time. The number of options for recycling your toothbrush is limited. Typically you will need to remove the battery and take it and the handle to a local recycling centre. We have some more information here: www.electricteeth.com/recycling-electric-toothbrush/

[@vidform]

@@ElectricTeeth Thanks. Also, can you export your brushing data as a spreadsheet, Jpeg, PDF, or some other file? Or can you share the data with another app such as Apple's Health app? It would be nice to export your data out of the app and put it somewhere else. I also wonder about privacy with our dental data.

[@ElectricTeeth]

No. There is no method for exporting the brushing data. Maybe if you asked Oral-B directly something could be done, but there is no option within the app. I haven't used the app on iOS, but I am not aware of a method, at this time of exporting the data to other applications. I am sure in time such will be possible.

Which type of toothpase is ideal for this type of electric toothbrush? Foaming or not? or does it not matter?

[@ElectricTeeth]

There is no special or particular toothpaste required. Usually foaming pastes offer no meaningful benefit.

Yes. But the difference would be minimal and the results vary from 1 person to another. Its not just about white teeth.

Can you get the toothbrush as a standalone?...none of the silly gimmicks (Dont need bluetooth with an app to brush teeth, that's absolutely crazy). Just need the electric toothbrush and charger...should reduce the price if there is an option like that.

Jonathan. You are probably better off at looking at the Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4100 or the Oral-B Pro 1000 then! Around $50 and they don't have all the extra features.
