Equipment and processing:
As a top model from Braun Oral-B series provides you quite high expectations for the product, which will not be disappointed considering the price. The toothbrush itself is very well made and works with her black housing more modern than it (especially with turquoise ornaments) do the white representatives. Brown sets this device next 4 essays a very noble Reiseetui in, refer to the two sample changers court, a bag for the accessories, the obligatory SmartGuide (external display which indicates the brushing time) and a small base station, in the stored for up to 4 attachments can be and the toothbrush can be charged. In particular, the travel case looks much better quality than I know it from the 5500 series, but as I said, at the price which is to be expected.
A look at the brush itself already reveals his special, because this is a Bluetooth find lettering where prankt with smaller models of SmartGuide lettering.
To use this feature ultimately, you need an app that is currently only available for iOS, Android it is only in August for download. However, Brown has been offering an app that not supports Bluetooth connection, from the presentation of the product images confusingly similar looks. Difference is, therefore, that He has to start the timer by hand and information too much pressure not to be submitted to the App. Of course, the toothbrush works without Bluetooth connection, but you can then also pick up the model without Bluetooth.
Cleaning power:
I have been around for tens of years, el. Toothbrushes from Braun in use, from low to upper middle class model and we already noted in the more expensive models better cleaning performance. The teeth will not only feel at the same brushing time to clean, just to the root surfaces cleaned the more expensive models in my eyes better. The Black Pro makes no difference, the cleaning performance is subjectively very good. However, I prefer the tri-zone essays, which are not supplied with the toothbrush, as they provide more plaster.
The 7000 has a total of 6 different cleaning modes, of which 5 are available in smaller models. Another new feature is a mode for tongue cleaning. The modes differ sometimes quite noticeably from each other and, in combination with the respective attachment different applications. Especially the deep cleaning mode I use quite often, because here also extends the proposed brushing time.
Bluetooth and App / SmartGuide:
Brown is an advantage of the Bluetooth connection and use an app to the monitoring of brushing habits. Thus you do not have to lug his cell phone at every cleaning process, the toothbrush stores data on up to 20 brushings. Also information about the print behavior are transmitted and provided at excessive pressure accordingly graphically. Those who want to can also view the app the latest news and enjoy the weather.
Honestly, the multiple brushing a day should be so routinely embedded throughout the day that I can not recognize the benefit of the app (and I write this, even though I absolutely am thrilled technology when the technology because makes sense). While I used the Smart Guide from the start thrilled so this enthusiasm was not on in the app, especially since I had my phone in the bathroom is not always there. I hardly believe that my dentist is interested in the recording when the next inspection is due and if still pending payment requiring repairs to the teeth, the insurance company will not grant higher refund amount due to my documentation of brushing habits.
All this against the backdrop that the model currently costs more than twice the "normal" 7000 model. As with other Braun toothbrushes and the price is certainly still qualify but presently I think he's just this additional gimmick for too high. But perhaps there is for the benefit of a Bluetooth connection other opinions, then I would be glad about an appropriate comment for review.
As I said, however, the SmartGuide is a capital feature. It has a pressure control feature, get the brushing time and to be cleaned quadrant signals and is "rewarded" with a smiley face for a correct brushing. It is also good that failure to use the time in the SmartGuide appears, particularly helpful in the bathroom in the morning. Nor can two toothbrushes with a SmartGuide connect, so that you can use with different handpieces the Guide.
Charging time & Duration:
The charging time is quite high as with other Braun toothbrushes. It takes up to 24 hours for a full recharge of the toothbrush. In how far the Bluetooth model, I can not say a negative effect on the term and I will add here, as soon as I have in this regard a first experience.
Conclusion:
The 7000 toothbrush is a toothbrush with good cleaning performance, the top of that also looks chic. Brown has finally a noble Reiseetui settled its premium toothbrushes and the SmartGuide is a feature that I do not want to miss. The situation is different with the Bluetooth connection, I believe it to be gimmick than she really is a revolution in the field of dental care, and in that the toothbrush is currently listed for a twice as high price as the normal model, right in my eyes Price / performance is not. Possibly put into perspective this time, then you will have to see what the feature Bluetooth costs more real, perhaps I would correct the rating due to the good cleaning performance of the brush also upwards.
So I can only awarded 3 stars and the recommendation to consider whether the normal 7000 model is insufficient. It saves a lot of money, and the app can also be used manually, if you want to know for sure when you have cleaned his teeth in the past how long. Can save even more, if one resorts to 5500. It has the same technical characteristics (40000 pulsations) also has the SmartGuide and waived only on the good travel case and black design.
Addition:
If you want to view the app before buying, can download the free app from the Oral B Play Store, it conforms to the product images of the toothbrush and can be operated manually.
