Oral-B Smart 4 4000 Electric Toothbrush Review

[@Juvie99]

Didn't expect such a full tutorial, well done and thank you for the honest effort

[@Upscaler23]

Bought one of eBay brand new for £28.50..my current oral b is still going strong after about 4-5 years..but fancied a newer one with the much better battery.

[@HenningNam]

Battery power of most oral b toothbrushes are very disappointing. Although I sm aware they are now switching to Lithium-ion , but I feel they could have started using the Lithium batteries ages ago.

[@alissonhislop2521]

Hi thanks for really good full review just bought my partner the smart 4/ 4500 black edition 49.99 in superdrug so good price 😀 ..is the 4500 better model ..he probably won't use the Bluetooth tho but seems like it's a good one..its the battery life he be happy about because his old one the battery don't last long anymore..got a bonus travel case with it too 👍

[@jenniferrivera8398]

Thanks for the review! I just bought this toothbrush and it’s quite loud…is that standard?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes, it is!

[@tracyansell2847]

thank you very informative - was struggling to work out which was sensitive mode... and I didn't realise when buying the W meant whitening.... doh!...

[@ardasaint]

I will buy Oral-B Pro 2500 or Oral-B Smart 4000. Which one is better ? Which one should I buy ? I don't know much about these brushes. A lot of sites says 2500 is better but I am seeing this one has more features.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Technically the Smart 4 4000 is better. However, the cleaning performance from them is the same. The Smart 4 4000 has extra cleaning modes and Bluetooth connectivity. The vast majority don't need or want these. We would recommend the Pro 2 2500 because it is normally cheaper/better value. It has the features you need rather than things you don't necessarily need like Bluetooth.

[@ardasaint]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you so much

[@turyk5]

in some sites the seller says this model has a pressure sensor that slows down the brushing, is it true?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes, this is true. There is a pressure sensor and when activated, the speed of the brush is reduced until the pressure is relieved.

[@Ahmed-wx3uv]

What would you say is the real differences between the three modes and do you have to interchange?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Very minimal differences. You don't have to change. The sensitive mode is the most useful of the other modes because it is slower/more gentle, but not essential. Most stick with the standard Daily Clean mode. We do explain more in the following video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKmxpGuAoJqMsKc

[@e.man.9551]

Can you tell me which will be better Oral-B Smart 5 5000N or Oral-B Smart 4 4000N? Which has a better battery?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The battery life is the same on these models. If I had to pick I would go Smart 5. However these isn't much difference between them.

[@akhisalaam]

Hi! I have the Oral B Pro 4000 without the bluetooth but with Lithium battery. It has 4 modes. I was wondering how do you know what mode you’re since there is really no indication. Thank you.

[@ElectricTeeth]

You have to go by the order shown in the manual. There is no definitive way of knowing otherwise.

[@volcom1722]

Hey mate, I cant find anything online about the Oral B Smart 1 (aka the Smart 1000). Did you have any insight on this?

[@ElectricTeeth]

What's you location? Models vary, want to make sure I am pointing you in the right direction etc.

[@Rulej28]

Why my connection via bluetooth doesn't work? I tried with the app and just pressing to turn on...I tried keeping it pressed....I tried from the notification panel but nothing....just bought....

[@ElectricTeeth]

Did you enable the permissions when installing the app? It needs location permission normally.

[@Rulej28]

@@ElectricTeeth yes i just checked and it is enabled :/ ... in the notification panel the toothbrush bluetooth appears so the bluetoth works but no connection

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hmm, might be best to give Oral-B a call and run through some diagnostics/steps with them over the phone. They are best placed to advise.

[@ka16yung]

Hi, what handle type is this? I just bought this toothbrush however I got a manual of a oral b smart teen in the box so I’m not sure if i got the correct item! Thanks

[@ElectricTeeth]

It is model: D601 and type: 3767 - The Smart 4 4000 and Smart Teen use the same brush handle.

[@ka16yung]

@@ElectricTeeth ok thanks for the reply!

[@alexgoico]

Tried to understand your written review. You mention lacking box contents 11 times in the article but what does that mean?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Apologies Alexandra if it is not clear what I meant. By lacking box contents, I mean you do not get much in the box when you buy the brush. There are other brushes that come with more in the box (accessories), such as extra brush heads, travel cases, places to store brush heads etc. I would have preferred it if Oral-B gave you more for the money you pay. I hope that clears things up! 😀

[@Juvie99]

I bought my boyfriend the black edition and he then bought me a pink junior. All brush heads seem to be tbe same size, I can't figure out the difference?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Almost all Oral-B brush heads are the same size. There is a kids head that is marginally smaller, but the 'junior' toothbrushes usually come with a head for adults. This video explains more about the brush heads: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep2nqaCjm9WXaZI

[@andrewstokie6726]

Do you make videos solo or are you part of a big team?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Certainly no big team. There are just 2 of us here at Electric Teeth, although we do get a little help now and again.

[@yaelefrat7677]

do you need to connect to Bluetooth activate the 2 minutes timer ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Only if you want to use the on-screen timer on your smartphone. The timer in the toothbrush itself does not rely on Bluetooth.

[@Psycrovv]

How long is the wire and can you tell the measures of that stand or recharger

[@ElectricTeeth]

The cable for the charger is about 90 centimetres. The charger itself is approx 4.7cm wide x 6.5cm deep x 3.5cm tall.

[@Psycrovv]

@@ElectricTeeth Thx alot mister :) I see there is a version 4400n with a bigger charger station that incl 4 places for extra brushes. Do you have any measures on that one ? Since my bathroom shelf is 12 cm wide and 50 cm long. So i was worried about the wide part for that model. That model is on sale atm.

[@ElectricTeeth]

Ok, yes, so this model has the brush head storage compartment for up to 4 brush heads. This compartment measures in at: 13.5cm wide x 9cm deep x 3.5cm tall This measurement does exclude the height of the toothbrush stood on top of the charging stand.

[@Psycrovv]

@@ElectricTeeth Exelent ! Then it can fit my small shelf, Thanks alot for ur help mister E.T ;) What model should i get ? The 4000N or the 4400 n I dont realy need the extra storage. Is there any difference in the toothbrush ?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I would pick the best value option. Prices vary from one store to another. If you don't need the extra brush head storage then probably best to go for the 4000N unless the 4400N is cheaper. They are technically the same as far as I am aware, it is just the box contents that differs.

[@saracsibi1241]

Is it compatible with oral B soft heads ....? I would need a soft head....

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes it is. With the exception of the Ultimate Clean and Gentle Care heads that are designed for the Oral-B iO Series. The Sensi UltraThin is the brush head you want. It has the softest bristles.

[@itzikalma9959]

Why you don't did the brushing intensities?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Sorry, what do you mean? Would you like to know more about the cleaning modes?

[@hellokittybg93]

Is the Bluetooth connectivity option really worth the price difference?

[@ElectricTeeth]

This is personal opinion of course, but for most, no it isn't. It generally takes quite significant habit change to take advantage of it.

[@hellokittybg93]

@@ElectricTeeth thank you for you answers. I'd just like to ask one more thing, I'm kind of confused about this model, because the one you're reviewing is Oral B Smart 4 4000n, but the model available in my country is Oral B Smart 4 4000, without the n. So do you know what would be the difference between those brushes because I can't find any information on that?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi. The N after the 4000 is referring to the brush head supplied. Usually N means CrossAction brush head. Sometimes the CrossAction is supplied, but the N is not quoted on the product name. It is all very confusing to be honest. The underlying brush in terms of its features and performance is likely the same.

[@Merontesfaii]

Why does it say in the commercial that the second mode is whitening if its gum care?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Can you share a link to the advert you have seen?

[@alhowse3414]

Great Vid! Thanks

[@Cgr885]

In my additional routines i have tongue cleaning. However, after I finish my daily clean for teeth and start brushing my tongue the app records it as teeth brushing how can i fix this?

[@ElectricTeeth]

I don't think there is a fix for this. I don't have this brush to hand right now to check, but I think the tongue cleaning routine relies on answering yes/no as if you have completed or not and isn't looking for data from the brush.

[@itzikalma9959]

The built in timee is on the app only?

[@ElectricTeeth]

The brush handle itself has a timer. It creates a brief pause in the motion/sound at 30 second intervals, with 3 pauses at 2 minutes.

[@itzikalma9959]

@@ElectricTeeth It didn't happened to me never

[@itzikalma9959]

@@ElectricTeeth Should I talk to Oral B's warranty?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Possibly. I would first open the app (with the brush connected) and go through the reset procedure to see if this fixes it first.

[@JY-tq4ir]

great explain, thank you

[@djmurat]

From app can i see same time where is need more where is enough?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Not with the Smart 4 4000. If you want the app to give you a more accurate idea of what areas you have cleaned well and others you have not cleaned so well, you need to opt for the Oral-B Genius 8000, 9000, X or the iO series.

[@neilmansfield8329]

Love this toothbrush

[@umutkeltek]

can you please tell me the difference between genius pro 8000

[@ElectricTeeth]

Hi Umut. I will happily list out the key differences, but there are quite a few that exist, so this could be quite a long reply. The Oral-B Smart 4 4000 is a model generally sold within Europe, whilst the Genius Pro 8000 is a model sold primarily in the USA and Canada. You don't normally see the 2 models sold within the same region. Each does have an equivalent, for example, the Genius 9000 is essentially the European version of the Genius Pro 8000. In which country do you live for me to be able to give you a bit more specific feedback?

[@umutkeltek]

@@ElectricTeeth I am living in Turkey and I could buy smart 4 4000 ,genius pro 8000 and genius pro 9000 available to be honest

[@ElectricTeeth]

OK. So, I will compare the Smart 4 4000 with Genius 9000 as its basically the same as the Genius Pro 8000. I am working on some assumptions as I am not familiar with the Turkish variants, but I will assume the box contents and specs you are seeing are the same as UK. The design of the brush handles are different. The Genius 9000 has 3 extra cleaning modes. Smart 4 has Daily Clean, Sensitive & Whitening. Genius 9000 has these plus, Gum Care, Pro Clean and Tongue clean mode. The Genius 9000 has a separate cleaning mode button and icons for the different modes. The Genius 9000 has a Smart Ring that doubles as a pressure sensor. The Genius 9000 has position detection technology. The Genius 9000 comes with a suction cup smartphone holder. The Smart 4 4000 comes with a brush head stand to hold 2 brush heads compared to the storage compartment with the 9000 that holds 4. The Genius 9000 comes with a premium travel case that holds the brush handle and 2 brush heads. The case also allows the brush to be charged in the case. The Smart 4 4000 comes with no travel case. The Smart 4 400 comes in a White/White colour configuration compared to the Silver. White, Rose Gold, Orchid Purple and Black colour combinations of the 9000. The Genius 9000 comes with 4 brush heads in the box compared to the 2 with the Smart 4. (2 x CrossAction, 1 x 3D White & 1 x Sensi UltraThin v 2 x CrossAction (Or 1 x 3D White & 1 x CrossAction). The Smart 4 4000 is the cheaper of the two.

[@umutkeltek]

@@ElectricTeeth Thank you for time and amazing reply! Funny thing is there was a campaign in Turkey I ordered genius 9000 for 580 turkish lira (100dolar approximately) and they send me two 10000n and now I am really happy. I bought two 10000n for only 100 dollar !!!

[@ElectricTeeth]

😲 o wow! That is brilliant. The Genius 10,000 is basically the same as the 9000. Enjoy the brush. Please let me know what you think of it once you have used it for a week or so.

[@mghiduc]

how the f* can i connect the brush to the app?

[@ElectricTeeth]

With the app downloaded to your phone, it should guide you though the connection process when you open the app. Basically involved turning the toothbrush on, so the app can detect it.

[@gabby7243]

what is the app called

[@ElectricTeeth]

Simply called 'Oral-B' in the app stores.

[@gabby7243]

@@ElectricTeeth My phone isn't compatible with it so what do I do

[@ElectricTeeth]

Sadly you won't be able to use the smart features.

[@hooked-gsy]

Does the brush remember the setting your on,or do you have to cycle through each time.!!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Cycle through each time

[@jugheadjed]

This is much more budget oriented, & much less capable than the Genius 9000 (Australia), right?

Correct Jared.
