Yes it most certainly is. This means that it can be cleaned with water and also be used in the shower if you so wish. Is the Oral-B Smart 6 6000 noisy? The Oral-B Smart 6 6000 comes with 5 cleaning modes which is the same number as the more expensive Oral-B Genius 8000. It comes with daily clean, sensitive, gum care, pro-clean and whitening. I would recommend putting the brush in daily clean mode for most people because it is the best regular use brushing action and lasts for 2 minutes. The sensitive mode is good for people who have sensitive teeth and can be combined with using a sensitive brush head. Gum Care, Pro-clean and whitening I would only use for special occasions and should not be used regularly. 3) Battery life – Oral-B Smart 6 6000 Electric Toothbrush Review Battery longevity If I have a clean fresh feeling mouth, then I tend to find I feel better, more confident and motivated. The Smart 6 managed some 74 minutes of usage time on test with us. This equates to approx 18 days of real world use. You may have a different opinion, but there is an added convenience of knowing the battery will last.

The SmartSeries 6000 and 6500 is essentially replaced by this Smart 6. Gone is the blue light as seen on these models, it is now a white light. What’s more, it delivers an excellent clean, with three modes – Sensitive, Daily Clean and Whitening – that take you all the way from a softer brush that’s easy on the gums to a more intense polish that should help get rid of staining. Battery life, meanwhile, is exceptional; you’ll easily get through two weeks of brushing and probably three without a recharge. It’s the king of sensibly priced brushes and one of the easiest recommendations in the Oral-B range. As is the case with all of Oral-B’s smart toothbrushes, you’ll get the most out of the 6000N while using the Oral-B companion app. Connect the brush to your smartphone via Bluetooth and the app will provide what Oral-B describes as “Smart Coaching” to help you improve your brushing routine. The Oral-B Smart 6 6000 electric toothbrush is high end electric toothbrush with many features. In the Oral-B range it sits between the mid-range Oral-B Smart 5 5000 and the premium Oral-B Genius 8000. Does it’s range of features justify the high end price tag? How well does the Oral-B Smart 6 6000 match up to it’s rivals. Find out more here. 1) Features – Oral-B Smart 6 6000 Electric Toothbrush Review Front of Handle

Perfectly Timed Brushing

It is completely sealed, meaning that it is water resistant and could be used in the shower if you chose. It usually takes up to 12 hours to recharge the brush fully. It is a relatively slow charge that is pushed to the brush via the charging stand, so it is perfectly safe to leave the brush on here at all times when not in use. A point to note is if you owned one of the older models that included a smart guide, the Smart 6 does work with it. I tried the Smart 6 from the guide that came with the SmartSeries 6000, it worked straight away. Oral-B Smart 6 6000S is the sensitive version and comes with 2 x sensitive and 1 x crossaction brush head as standard. What I particularly like is you can go on holiday for as long as 2 weeks and not even need to worry about re-charging the brush.

It is by no means a new addition, but one reason why Oral-B is one of the market leaders is that research has shown that their rounded, oscillating and rotating brush heads are very effective at cleaning the teeth.

Better brushing habits

There is a Professional Guidance feature allows you and your dental professional to work together. Actually, share and discuss improvement areas and have your dentist actually program into the app extra brushing time and adjustments to your cleaning modes. If you have perfected your technique you may have less to gain than others, but I was impressed at just how well the app works and monitors you clean. In the lower third of this front panel is a Bluetooth icon, a battery icon made up of 3 bars and then finally the Oral-B and Braun logos.

Sitting below the Genius line, this model should generally be a little bit cheaper, so be sure to shop around if the price looks a little high. That LED smart ring I mentioned previously, you can customise this from the app one of 12 colour options and you can also set personalised goals, to get more suitable tips and advice.The brush handle is not perfectly round, sort of more like a rounded rectangle, but a final profile that feels good in the hand, even if the plastics are a little on the glossy side.

The best Oral-B electric toothbrushes to buy in 2023 1. Oral-B Vitality Pro: Best cheap Oral-B electric toothbrush

An accessory I loved that comes provided with the older SmartSeries 6000 and 6500, but not the Smart 6 is the Smart Wireless Guide. The Oral-B range all use the 3D oscillating and rotating movement which claims to remove up to 100% more plaque vs a manual toothbrush. Personally I think this could be exaggerating slightly however there is definitely evidence that electric toothbrushes do clean better than manual toothbrushes. The figure though is closer to 21% over a 3 month period. This is definitely an improvement so would still recommend getting an electric toothbrush with 3D oscillating rotating motion. Versions of the Oral-B Smart 6 6000 electric toothbrush If cost is a big factor, whilst the Smart 6 6000 brings some benefits, you may wish to consider the Smart 5 5000 for a reasonable cost saving.
