Please note that if you’re a UK user, the Genius 9000 is still the flagship Oral-B brush — there is little difference between the 9000 and the 10000 (as we explain in more detail below), but the 10000 has launched in some European countries.
We have completed a comparison of all the UK Genius models here.
The Sonicare ExpertClean is an excellent electric toothbrush.
There are many desirable features. The brush head replacement reminder system and the in-case charging, are just 2 of many that this brush others.
The ExpertClean, unfortunately, falls a fraction short on the Bluetooth functionality. It does not offer true real-time tracking as other Sonicare models do.
The likes of the DiamondClean Smart from Sonicare and Oral-B Genius X are arguably more rounded products.
If you are short of time, the answers to the following 3 questions should let you know all you need to about the ExpertClean from Sonicare. If I have missed something, let me know in the comments.
If you want more details, you can read my full ExpertClean 7300 review further down the page.
No, most definitely not.
The ExpertClean is a great toothbrush that provides a superb clean to the teeth and gums. It offers various modes and brushing intensities to allow you to find the optimum brush settings for you.
I would happily use this on a daily basis.
The answer to this question is influenced by what is most important to you.
If you want the absolute best electric toothbrush, then the Sonicare DiamondClean Smart is the brush to go for. However, it can be incredibly expensive. At times you can get deals, that make the extras worth the additional spend. Most importantly, unlike the ExpertClean it doesn’t lack the real-time brushing feedback.
Alternatively, the Genius X from Oral-B is a very strong contender. It is not quite as refined in its design as the Sonicare. Nor does it have the same clever brush head replacement reminder and pairing system. But it does have real-time brushing feedback and deliver a very similar user experience at a relatively fair price.
If you are unsure about what toothbrush is right for you, then do consult our electric toothbrush buyers guide and recommendations for further guidance.
At the time of review, the ExpertClean is available in only a limited number of stores.
I suspect in time, the availability will improve. Expect to see it in for sale on Amazon, Boots, John Lewis, in Superdrug and more.

The Colgate ProClincial 250R is a smart and strong performing electric toothbrush that delivers value for money.
A replacement to the 250+, the 250R has a refreshed design. It looks a little more stylish than some of the competition, but sadly this new model has worse battery life and loses the very handy travel cap/protective case that used to come supplied with 250+.
If you are short of time, the answers to the following 3 questions should let you know all you need to about the ProClinical 250R from Colgate.
If you want more details, you can read the full review further down the page.
No, most certainly not.
It provides the essential features of an electric toothbrush at a superb price considering it is manufactured by a leading brand.

Colgate ProClinical 250R | 388 Reviews | £19.50 | View on Amazon |
Any other toothbrush is going to be more expensive, but you should consider the Oral-B Pro 2 2500.
The Pro 2 2500 uses an oscillating-rotating cleaning technology compared to the sonic cleaning action of the 250R, but you gain a pressure sensor, a few days extra battery life, and a travel case in the box, which could be useful additions for many users.
The Fairywill FW-507 is another contender. It looks and feels a bit plasticky, but it has 3 cleaning modes, additional brush heads in the box and boasts a battery life that is simply superb.
For a more detailed comparison of buying options, see our list of recommended toothbrushes.
As one of the leading brands within the dental healthcare space, the Colgate 250R is generally widely stocked.
Expect to find it for sale in major high street retailers like Superdrug, Asda, Sainsburys etc as well as online retailers such as Amazon and Ocado.
Be sure to shop around, it is quite likely that the best price and availability will be found online.
Check the list below to see which retailers are currently stocking the 250R ProClinical, and the price they are offering.

Despite the title of this article, this is not a full and detailed review of the Oral-B Pro 680.
Why?
There is a simple reason for this.
The Pro 680 is technically identical to the Oral-B Pro 600 that I have reviewed here.
Therefore it seems a little unnecessary to write a whole review for the 680 when you can read the review of the Pro 600, and the conclusion for the most part would be the same.
In my Pro 600 review I actually recommend opting for the Pro 2 2500 instead, and that recommendation remains the same when it comes to the Pro 680.
Pros Cleaning performance Built in timer and pacer Multiple cleaning modes Pressure sensor – be alerted when brushing too hard …
The Oral-B Genius X is an extremely good electric toothbrush.
It looks the part, feels solid in the hand and cleans the teeth really well.
The Genius X demonstrates how technology can be used effectively, to help you improve and ultimately achieve the best oral health care standards. As a result, at your next dental checkup, you should gain the praise of your dentist.
If you desire to own one of the smartest and top performing brushes on the market today then this is certainly one of the best options.
However, the Genius X is not perfect in my opinion and there is potential for improvement.
The brush lacks the finer details and quality that come with the likes of the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart and ExpertClean toothbrushes for example.
The charging travel case for the Genius is useful, but the Sonicare implementation is considerably more convenient to use.
I do also think that there is scope for smarter graphics and diagrams in the app to enhance the way that it educates you about the areas of the teeth you have and have not brushed.
The Genius X gets my vote of confidence for sure, but in reality, it is a more feature-rich and expensive toothbrush than you necessarily need. There are cheaper brushes that clean the teeth just as well. You pay a premium for the added features and box contents it comes with.
Our Verdict It is cheap, cheerful and functional. It may sound like there are sacrifices but the performance and …

In this review I am testing and giving my feedback on the Oral-B Teen electric toothbrush.
There is nothing that makes this specifically suitable for teenagers. I do believe it is the design on the handle and inclusion of the Ortho brush head that make it more appealing to this demographic.
Whilst Oral-B do not exactly promote this, it is for all intents and purpose identical to the more premium Smart 4 4000, but comes in at a much more attractive price. More detail on this later.

Absolutely not. In fact for the price, size and weight this brush is quite remarkable.
We have given a rating of 4/5 to the 250+ as it is slim and good value.

Colgate ProClinical 250+ | 388 Reviews | £19.50 | View on Amazon |
The 250+ is a really excellent brush with little in the way of faults when you consider the price asked for it.
Of all the Colgate brushes this is our recommendation.
But, at this price point, there is quite a bit of choice.
Whilst a touch more expensive, our choice is Oral-B’s Pro 2 2500. It feels like it cleans better and has a pressure sensor on board.
Sonicare’s EasyClean is also an option.
Don’t let these alternative suggestions, imply the 250+ is bad, it really isn’t. Each have their pros and cons and it is about weighing up what is best for you. Where the 250+ stands out for me is the compact profile and battery life.
You might have an overarching requirement such as budget, best for whitening or suitable for braces. We have put together a series of lists which cater for just this.
Colgate is a brand that many of us have grown up with and as a result many of the leading high street and online retailers stock the 250+.
Typically we tend to recommend Amazon because it is very competitive on price and has special offers running. It also offers free delivery. However, it’s always worth checking out other retailers as well. Check the links below for the cheapest price among UK retailers. It’s always worth checking eBay, too.

The Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300 is a very good electric toothbrush, featuring Sonciare’s BrushSync reminder technology.
The built in timer and pacer are very welcomed, as are the automatic power off and EasyStart technologies.
Simplicity comes in the form of just 1 cleaning mode, with the option of changing the cleaning intensity. And the battery life is fantastic.
Sadly the overriding negative is the price — there are alternatives that could be consider within or below this price range.

The Mi electric toothbrush is far from a bad toothbrush and is certainly not bad value.
But, it isn’t as great.
Having spent several weeks testing it, I prefer the alternatives.
The Bluetooth connectivity and data transfer can be buggy and the data received from the brush isn’t all that useful.
It also lacks some of the added value that I have come to expect of the far eastern brands, that often challenge the dominant brands.
