The next big difference is the battery life. The Pro 2 2000 has over twice the usage time. The Pro 600 will operate for 28 minutes, which is 7 days of cleaning based on one user. However the Pro 2 will last for 66 minutes which is 16 days of usage time. The built-in timer in this brush is, in my opinion, a highly underrated feature. It is all too easy to think we have been brushing for longer than we have, as many of us get bored when completing a mundane task like cleaning the teeth. This built-in timer makes it simple. There is no excuse not to achieve the full 2 minutes. The same toothbrush, they may well be labelled with or without the ‘1’ in the name. The ‘1’ relates to a bit of a rebranding exercise undertaken by Oral-B. Personally, I believe the wide array of models just makes it more confusing than it needs to be, for the likes of you and me when it comes to buying a toothbrush. Aside from the colour of the brush the physical size and shape are identical and you would not be able to tell the two apart unless you noticed the additional cleaning mode icon found on the 9000.

The whole app is engineered for the more premium Smart Series brushes, which the 650 is not a part of.​ BUT, one of the biggest flaws of the Smart 5 is the fact that you can’t easily tell what cleaning mode you are using. The Genius resolves this issue to a point with a series of icons that illuminate on the handle when the selected mode is in operation.I don’t have the figures of the number of oscillations and pulsations on the older Pro 5000 available to give confirmation of the power difference. And add to this, there have been various iterations of the 5000 over the years, so it would be important to find out the exact one to say 100%.

Like other Oral B toothbrush, you also get three years guarantee, 2 years at the time of buying and one more year when you register it online. If you need more detail on any of the brushes, read on or leave a comment. Brush vs brush comparison posts I shall now list each model and what is included so that you can select the most appropriate for you. Both have the coloured rubber grip that runs down the front of the brush handle and a power button that is accented in white. Grips above and below the button are present and the rear of the brush handle is a gloss white plastic with hard plastic grips.Below, is a list of models we have compared to one another, plus some that we have compared to their Sonicare equivalents. The great number of choices you have within the Oral-B range can make it really quite difficult to decide which toothbrush is right for you. However, female readers do not be put off by the colour as this is a lovely slim and comfortable brush when in the hand.
