Comparison Oral-B Genius 10000N vs Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 7000 D36.555

The number of working nozzles that are standardly supplied with the device. Nowadays, options are quite common with both one and two or three nozzles in the kit; and in the most extensive sets, this number can be four or five or even more.

In many sets, several nozzles may have different purposes. For instance, an irrigator, in addition to its standard nozzle, might include orthodontic and periodontal nozzles. However, it's important to note that models with the same number of accessories in the kit can have different specific specializations. So, when making a choice, it's wise to consider not just the quantity but also the types of nozzles available. Additionally, there's an option where several identical interchangeable heads come with one handle. This configuration is particularly common in toothbrushes. It enables multiple individuals, such as family members, to use a single device, and such a set is usually more cost-effective than purchasing individual toothbrushes for each person.

Models of replacement heads supplied with the device.

This information is valuable for assessing the capabilities of a specific model and for sourcing additional, spare, or replacement nozzles, particularly for toothbrushes and dental centers that naturally use such devices (as indicated in "Type"). Firstly, it's advisable to replace the heads in these devices every 3-6 months, similar to regular toothbrushes. Secondly, if each user purchases their own nozzle while sharing a single handle, it's a cost-effective alternative to buying a separate brush for each individual, although it may be less convenient. Regardless, knowing the model of the interchangeable nozzle will save you time and effort when searching for compatible accessories.

The frequency of working movements of a toothbrush with a reciprocating-rotating or reciprocating-brushing brushing technology (see above). In modern models, this figure can be from 4 – 5 to 40K movements per minute.

The higher the speed of the toorhbrush, the faster and more efficiently it handles with its task. On the other hand, high speed and intensity of processing is not always desirable — for example, with sensitive teeth or weak gums, such a brush can create problems. Therefore, you need to choose a device according to the frequency of rotation, taking into account the characteristics of your teeth; Ideally, you should consult with your dentist first. However, modern toothbrushes may have several modes, including gentle (see "Functions").

The frequency of sound vibrations provided by a toothbrush with a sonic operating principle. This parameter also means the maximum pulsation frequency for toothbrushes with support for pulsating cleaning technology (see above) and for irrigators with a pulsed operating mode. For dental centers (see "Type"), data on the irrigator is usually specified here, and the pulsation frequency of the toothbrush (if this parameter is relevant for it) is indicated in a separate note

High frequency of movements and pulsations(from 40 thousand/min and higher) has a positive effect on the efficiency and quality of treatment, allowing you to quickly deal with dense plaque and even tartar. On the other hand, too intensive treatment can also be undesirable - for example, with high tooth sensitivity. All this is also relevant for irrigators - except that the operating frequencies in them are noticeably lower, such devices very rarely produce more than 2 thousand pulsations per minute. So when choosing, do not chase the maximum indicators of the frequency of movements and pulsations, but first of all it is important to take into account the individual characteristics of the user - for a full guarantee, it would not hurt to consult a dentist about this.

The presence of its own display in the design of the device.

These displays are typically small due to the compact size of the toothbrush or irrigator body. They usually offer basic functionality, capable of displaying one color and a limited set of characters. However, even with such constraints, they can convey various operational information, such as the selected mode, timer countdown, battery status, error messages, and more. As a result, these displays enhance overall convenience and visibility when using the device.

On the other hand, it's important to acknowledge that there's a growing number of models without displays, especially in the mid to high-end range. This shift is primarily driven by the widespread adoption of smartphone synchronization (as mentioned earlier), which offers several advantages over built-in screens. Firstly, the Bluetooth module required for synchronization is smaller and more cost-effective than a dedicated display. Secondly, smartphone screens and other control gadgets tend to be larger, more versatile, and easier to read compared to the small screens on toothbrush or irrigator handles. Additionally, the display on the device's handle is not visible during use, whereas a smartphone can be positioned in front of your eyes. As a result, it's worthwhile to seek out a model with this function if the ability to access data from a display is a crucial factor for you, regardless of whether...you have a smartphone or another additional device at hand.

This refers to the maximum duration a device can run continuously when powered by a fully charged battery or fresh batteries. It's worth noting that this metric may also apply to models designed for mains power, such as flossing systems that include rechargeable toothbrushes, in which case we're referring to the battery life of these toothbrushes.

It's important to note that device specifications typically indicate the maximum runtime under ideal conditions, often in the most energy-efficient mode of operation (and for models with replaceable batteries, using high-quality batteries). The actual battery life can vary depending on specific usage conditions. However, this parameter still serves as a valuable basis for comparing different models. Generally, differences in the claimed operating time correspond proportionally to the real differences in battery life. For example, if one toothbrush has a stated operating time of 20 minutes and another boasts 40 minutes, in practice, their battery life (under similar conditions) will likely differ by approximately two times.

It's important to consider that, for toothbrushes, this parameter can help estimate the number of brushing sessions you can expect on a single charge. Typically, the recommended daily brushing duration is 2 minutes. So, if a toothbrush has an operating time of 30 minutes, it's sufficient for approximately 15 cleaning sessions (or more realistically, around 14 or 13).

The time required to charge the battery from zero to 100% in a device with the appropriate power type (see above). This parameter can vary from 1 – 3 hours in relatively simple and low-power devices to a day in advanced models with capacious batteries. At the same time, the longer the maximum operating time on a charge (see above), the longer, usually, the time required for charging, although there is no hard dependence here.

In general, having fast charging capabilities improves the convenience of a device by reducing interruptions in its operation. However, there is a trade-off to consider: fast charging often means either a smaller battery capacity or a higher price due to the use of specialized technologies to speed up the charging process. When evaluating this parameter, it's essential to think about how you intend to use the device. For instance, if a toothbrush or irrigator is solely used at home by one person and comes with a charging stand, fast charging may not be a critical factor. The device remains consistently charged as it's constantly on the charger, and its battery doesn't deplete significantly during one use. The time between sessions, usually around 8 to 12 hours, is more than enough to maintain a charged battery, even for devices with slower charging. However, if you plan to use the device while traveling, where access to power outlets is sporadic, it's preferable to have...minimal charging time to ensure you can recharge quickly during your trips.

The ability to charge the battery in the device from a standard USB port.

Refer to the "Type of power" section for battery details. Charging via USB offers several advantages over traditional mains charging. The primary benefit is the widespread availability of USB ports in computers, laptops, tablets, and various electronic devices. USB connectors are standard outputs in portable power banks, and USB adapters can convert 230V socket and car cigarette lighter socket outputs. This power source allows you to charge your toothbrush or irrigator not only from mains power but also from various other sources, even when sockets are unavailable, such as from a laptop or a power bank. This is particularly convenient during travel.

Another notable aspect of this charging method is that it often eliminates the need for a dedicated charger. All you need is a basic cable to connect the toothbrush or irrigator to a USB port. Typically, such a cable is included with the device, and the device itself features a standard microUSB port for power connection. This flexibility allows you to use alternative cables if needed, which are compatible with the plug type, making it more convenient and adaptable.

However, it's important to mention that these standard sockets on the device are not well-suited for use with charging stands, as discussed in the "Additionally in the kit" section. Consequently, some toothbrushes and irrigato...rs that use USB charging may not include charging stands at all, while others employ a unique design. In these cases, a dedicated socket for the charging stand is integrated into the device, and USB charging becomes accessible when the device is placed within a travel case, which also serves as a transitional component.

The cable length for connecting the device to the power source is an important consideration. It's worth noting that this specification may also apply to battery-powered models (as mentioned in the "Type of power" section), where it refers to the cable for connecting the charger stand or the device itself to a power outlet.

Typically, shorter cable lengths (up to 1 m) are common for battery-powered models that don't require a direct connection to the power source for operation. Some of these models don't even include charging stands and are intended to be charged outside the bathroom. In contrast, longer cables are primarily found in devices powered by mains electricity designed for stationary use. In these devices, the power cord can be nearly 2 meters in length. This design allows for the cord to be extended outside the bathroom if needed because not all bathrooms have electrical sockets, and using extension cords in such humid environments is generally discouraged.
