This is probably the most significant change and makes the brush particularly attractive. The read unspectacular but basically there are two devices (well proud) the price of one. That makes this bundle will also attractively priced. Who still has a charger a discarded brush has two complete sets. (Caution with chargers: you must not be too old, or you could damage the new battery When the printed performance data are the same, but nothing can happen..) SmartGuide you have then only one, but since Bluetooth's own Smart Phone is the SmartGuide, you do not need to necessarily. If you only have one charger, one should remember that it really takes 24 hours until an empty battery is recharged. This is really very long. Brown justifies this with the longer battery life. Maybe there's something to it. Anyway, we never scrapped a Oral B because of defective batteries.
In any case, as one of the devices on trips go (business trip, school trip, visiting relatives), or you can simply simultaneously wiping tough.
After they were offered repeatedly, this time we tried the TriZone essays. They promise a more natural cleaning sensation because the TriZone can be performed as a manual toothbrush, while the round heads of tooth should migrate to tooth. The effect is astonishing. Subjectively brushing easier. The teeth feel a little smoother. That heads this are significantly greater surprisingly not interfere. For TriZone heads of course you do not necessarily need a new toothbrush, but here were 3 included.
For those who do not know him: The external SmartGuide really helps to follow the proper cleaning time and also the cleaning time on all 4 jaw segments to distribute the same. People tend to brush longer segments that are serviced by the most comfortable hand position. It is much more than a gimmick. The different programs are connected to the toothbrush at a separate knob and displayed on the SmartGuide. After prolonged off the toothbrush returns to standard cleaning program. The Pressure sensor helps improve brushing technique especially in persons with tendency to pressed hard. All information will be displayed on the SmartGuide. The display on the handpiece itself limited to connection control, charge level, Pressure sensor, Bluetooth connection and 30 seconds segment. The indicators on the SmartGuide are important because you can have the ever in view.
Unlike the previously available 6500 this toothbrush has in addition to the SmartGuide still a Bluetooth module by means of which a connection can be established for Smartphone. In my case, an iPhone 4s. This task includes an app that displays the brushing result (and also stores). In his functions, the app covers the SmartGuide completely. As a consequence, I have my SmartGuide used only once for this toothbrush. In turn: First you have to download and install the (free) app from the AppStore. Subsequently, establishes the connection to the first use. The everything worked flawlessly without any problems and with me. If one allows the app to use the micro, the program starts automatically at the activation of the toothbrush. (Why to the BT connection is not sufficient is beyond me probably takes too long). In addition to the SmartGuide features are available in the App a number of additional functions:
- Storage of data cleaning (Are there times not connect to the app, the toothbrush can store up to 20 days the plaster data itself and then transmits it to the app)
- These include duration, program, Pressure sensor, additional hygiene, etc.
- Reminders for tongue cleaning, flossing use, Mundspüllösungsnutzung
- Storing dentist appointments (The app searches for dentists near unfortunately was not my case)
- Information on oral hygiene
- Storage of the place (with witty clues teeth cleaned abroad ... in another city Etc.!)
- Allocation of dental hygiene Awards (3 days in a row mouthwash used !, etc)
- Displaying weather and news
Here you can also set different timers. The default is 4 segments and 2:00 minutes, but it also go 6 segments (z. B. occlusal surfaces extra) and different times. Schade is here but that the vibration signals of the brush have additional 30 seconds of each other, regardless of timer uses the app.
The app is designed very lavishly and lovingly. It stands out from other similar apps this (for weight control o. Ä.), Often along the lines of We need ne app, all have to be zusammengekloppt significantly. It reminds me a bit of runtastic. The indications are varied and fun, the design is very classy and around for my taste. It is, however, obviously optimized for iOS for the longer display on iPhone 5. Sometimes you need extra-scrolling, but it all works. Believe it or not, but for me, the app is a real motivator.
The app leads in my opinion to a restriction. Like all Oral B toothbrushes they could be accessed by other people because of the changeable heads with color coding and support for up to 4 heads. The app supports and connect to multiple smartphones is not possible, in my opinion. This allows the app functionality to be used by only one person.
Especially when cleaning training with children but supports the SmartGuide an optimum cleaning result. In addition, the children makes brushing more fun; with such a "cool" device.
The accessories is extensive and useful, this space-saving and easy to clean.
An important note yet: The latest generation of handpieces has improved batteries. This may only be loaded with the new chargers, even if they fit the old and still be loaded.
The toothbrush offers the usual top quality extended by meaningful to luxurious accessories. In our view, an absolute recommendation and the best toothbrush that we have ever had. But one thing is clear: Really clean teeth can also be reached with the simpler and significantly cheaper models of Oral B.
So here at something very good has been filed in order to make it even more perfect, funny and modern. That succeeded. Also this set is already high-priced, but in that you get interesting again two handsets.
