While there are many things you can go without on a trip, a toothbrush isn't one of them. But depending on where you're going and how long you'll be staying, you might want to use something other than what you have at home.

So, what toothbrush should you pack? "Deciding between an electric toothbrush and a manual brush for travel will depend on personal preference and brush design — not all electric and manual toothbrushes are convenient for travel," says board-certified orthodontist Marina Gonchar, DMD.

We tested more than 40 toothbrushes over a six-month period to help you narrow it down, evaluating each for ease of use, functionality, portability, quality, and value. With insight from Dr. Gonchar and other dental professionals in mind, we researched travel-friendly options to round out our list.

Best Overall, Electric

Oral-b genius 9600 electric toothbrush.

• Ease of Use 4 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Functionality 5 /5
• Quality 5 /5

The Genius 9600 goes above and beyond to clean your teeth and boasts ample features, like multiple modes, Bluetooth connectivity, and a charging travel case.

It's slightly heavier than other electric models we tested, and since it comes with several parts, there's more to store at home.

Our favorite electric toothbrush is the Oral-B Genius 9600. Though it took us a moment to figure out how it works, we were thoroughly impressed by the feature-rich design. And once we got started, it was very straightforward and user-friendly. This toothbrush has multiple cleaning modes (regular, light, whitening, and tongue) that you can toggle between by tapping the handle. Our teeth felt exceptionally clean and slick after brushing, thanks to the round head that helps you get into every nook and cranny of your mouth. It also has Bluetooth connectivity for dental hygiene lovers who want to get super into tracking and improving their teeth-cleaning habits.

The Genius 9600 comes with various parts, including a corded charging stand, a suction holder for the toothbrush or your phone (for real-time feedback through the Oral-B app), and a hard-sided USB travel case. Though the travel case is undoubtedly handy for trips, the rest is kind of a lot to store at home.

This toothbrush is slightly heavier than other electric options but certainly not too heavy to pack in a suitcase. When you're away from home, you can charge both the toothbrush and your phone with the USB case. The rechargeable battery lasts about two weeks, so if you're going on a shorter trip, you might not even need to charge it while you're away. All things considered, we think the price is reasonable.

Best Overall, Runner-Up

Oral-b genius x limited.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Design 4.8 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

This advanced toothbrush makes your teeth feel professionally cleaned and comes with a charging travel case for on-the-go use.

The countertop charging stand tips over easily.

We were also big fans of the Oral-B Genius X Limited during our tests. The user-friendly design was easy to use right off the bat. It comes almost fully charged, so you could pack it in your suitcase without charging it first and start using it on your trip right away. This advanced toothbrush makes you feel like you just got your teeth professionally cleaned. It vibrates every 30 seconds to notify you when to switch to the next quadrant of your mouth, and a red light flashes if you brush too hard.

This toothbrush is also Bluetooth-enabled, so you can connect to Oral-B's app to track your habits. It lasts about two weeks on a full charge. Not only that, but it comes with a charging travel case that also charges your phone, plus a charging stand for at home. However, since it tips over easily when on the stand, you'll want to place it somewhat out of the way if possible. Beyond that, we have no complaints and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Genius X to travelers and, really, anyone else in the market for a new electric toothbrush.

Best Splurge

Philips sonicare prestige 9900 toothbrush.

The Sonicare 9900 Prestige looks, feels, and performs like a luxury product and comes with a sleek travel case that doubles as a charger.

It doesn't come with any replacement heads.

Want the Cadillac of toothbrushes? The Philips Sonicare 9900 Prestige won't disappoint. This high-end electric toothbrush looks, feels, and performs like a luxury product. Out of the box, it's about 40 percent charged and lasts roughly two weeks on a full charge. Despite the advanced design, it's very easy to use — just turn it on and select your preferred intensity setting. You can also sync it with the app to get real-time guidance and track your brushing habits.

The 9900 Prestige comes with a sleek frosted charging stand for your bathroom counter, plus an attractive faux leather travel case that looks like a high-end sunglasses case and charges your toothbrush via USB. Unlike many other models, it only comes with one head, and the replacements are up to $30 a pair. You'll definitely be glad to have this toothbrush with you on your next trip, but since it's a bit of an investment, consider using it as your everyday at-home toothbrush as well.

Oral-B iO Series 9

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5
• Design 4.2 /5
• Value 4.2 /5

This high-tech toothbrush gives you real-time guidance while brushing and makes your teeth feel as smooth as glass.

It needs to be charged weekly, whereas other electric models can last two or more weeks.

If you're interested in a smart toothbrush, the Oral-B iO Series 9 might be your best bet. Setup is a cinch — just download the Oral-B app and connect it through Bluetooth. The app tells you where you're brushing in real-time, how long you've been brushing, if you're using too much pressure, and when you miss a spot. (You can also use it without the app when you're short on time or once you feel like you've mastered your brushing habits.)

The iO Series 9 has seven modes, including daily clean, sensitive, super sensitive, intense, gum care, whitening, and tongue clean. After brushing, our teeth felt smooth as glass. It comes with a charging stand for at home and a magnetic charging case for travel. As with such a high-tech design, this toothbrush will need to be charged about once a week, whereas other models often last closer to two weeks. Still, it charges from zero to 100 percent in just three hours, and the remaining battery life is displayed right on the toothbrush, as well as on the app.

The Details: Electric | Soft bristles | Magnetic charging travel case

Best Features

Oral-b io series 8.

• Ease of Use 3.5 /5
• Design 3.8 /5
• Functionality 4.5 /5

The iO Series shows key info right on the handle and syncs with the Oral-B app to track your habits and score each brushing session.

It takes a little time to set up before your first use, and the high-tech design could be overkill, depending on where you're traveling.

The Oral-B iO Series 8 was also a hit during our tests. Though it took us some time to read through the instructions and set up the app before the first use, it was overall easy to use. The handle is sturdy but not too heavy or thick, with a battery life display, a built-in timer, and a light that glows red if you press too hard. You can track your brushing on the app and receive a score for each session. While the gamified aspect makes brushing fun, it might be overkill when traveling — but you always have the option to use it without the app.

This electric toothbrush comes with a countertop magnetic charging stand and a travel case that doubles as a charger. It has six modes you can easily toggle between, including daily clean, sensitive, super sensitive, intense, gum care, and whitening. Our teeth were noticeably cleaner after using it, and we didn't experience any sensitivity or discomfort. The price is steep, but we think it's worth the investment.

Best for Sensitive Teeth

Oral-b io series 5.

• Functionality 4.8 /5

This electric toothbrush has a soft-bristled head, multiple modes for sensitive teeth, and a light that tells you when you're brushing too hard.

It doesn't stop after two minutes like it's supposed to, and the travel case doesn't have a built-in charger.

Sensitive teeth? Go with the Oral-B iO Series 5. This electric toothbrush has a soft-bristle head that's gentle on the teeth and gums. It glows red when you press too hard, green when the pressure is just right, and white when you need a bit more elbow grease. We appreciate that it has multiple modes, including sensitive and extra sensitive, though you'll need to read through the instructions to know which one you've selected.

The iO Series 5 buzzes every 30 seconds, letting you know to switch quadrants, and according to the manual, it's supposed to stop after two minutes. However, while the light ring turns to a rainbow after two minutes, it doesn't actually shut off on its own. Still, we loved how easy it was to access all areas and angles of the mouth, and our teeth felt exceptionally clean after each brushing session. This toothbrush comes with a countertop charger and a travel case. Though the case doesn't have a built-in charger, the battery lasts up to two weeks, so you might not have to charge it while you're away.

Best Overall, Manual

Marvis soft toothbrush.

• Comfort 4.7 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

This Italian-made toothbrush boasts a lightweight handle, soft nylon bristles, and a handy head cover for travel.

The bristles aren't contoured like some other manual models.

If you prefer to keep it simple while traveling, a manual toothbrush will suffice. Our favorite packable option is the Marvis White Soft Toothbrush. From the popular luxury toothpaste brand, this Italian-made product features a slim, lightweight acrylic handle. It'll take up minimal space in your toiletry kit and add almost nothing to your luggage weight.

As for the head, you're looking at soft nylon bristles that gently polish your teeth clean. The bristles aren't contoured like some other models, but they definitely get the job done without irritating your gums. We also appreciate that it comes with a head cover to keep it clean and prevent the bristles from crushing in your suitcase.

The Details: Manual | Soft bristles | Lightweight handle, head cover

Curaprox 5460 Ultra Soft Toothbrush, 3 Pack

• Comfort 5 /5

Each toothbrush has over 5,000 and densely packed, soft bristles that gently polish your teeth without irritating your gums.

They don't come with head covers or a travel case.

For the most bang for your buck, consider this three-pack from Curaprox. These Swiss toothbrushes feature over five thousand densely packed, ultra-soft bristles that promise to gently clean your teeth and protect your gums.

The handles are angled to help you reach every nook and cranny of your mouth. They're also lightweight, which is perfect for travel. Just a heads up, these toothbrushes don't come with head covers, so you'll have to buy those separately.

The Details: Manual | Soft bristles | Slim, lightweight handle

Best Foldable

Lingito folding travel toothbrush.

It folds into itself to become a more packable size while keeping the bristles clean and protected from smushing.

The bristles might not be soft enough for people with sensitive gums.

You might also consider a foldable design, like the Lingito Travel Toothbrush. It folds down into itself, decreasing its size by half. This makes it super travel-friendly while keeping the bristles clean and protecting them from getting smashed.

The grippy handle is easy to hold, and the bristles do an excellent job of cleaning your teeth. Though they might not be soft enough for people with sensitive teeth, the bristles aren't overly stiff or pokey.

The Details: Manual | Medium bristles | Built-in cover

Reach Ultraclean Travel Toothbrush Kit

This handy kit comes with a soft-bristled toothbrush with an antibacterial cap, plus TSA-approved travel-size toothpaste.

The bristles warp pretty quickly.

This on-the-go dental kit comes with a manual toothbrush and a travel-size tube of toothpaste. The toothbrush has soft angled bristles that get into all the contours of your teeth. It also has an antibacterial cap that keeps bacteria at bay while protecting the bristles from getting crushed.

The tiny toothpaste is well below the TSA limit for carry-on liquids, but it should still be enough to get you through about a week of twice-a-day brushing. And the included pouch helps you keep everything organized and accessible.

The Details: Manual | Soft bristles | Disposable with TSA-size toothpaste

Best Disposable

Patelai disposable toothbrushes.

Each toothbrush is individually wrapped, so you'll always have a fresh one to pack for a trip.

They're not as eco-friendly as longer-lasting toothbrushes.

Disposable toothbrushes can come in handy if you travel often. This set comes with 100 or 200 individually wrapped toothbrushes. It includes four colors, so you can differentiate whose is whose when traveling with family members.

Though the toothbrushes don't have caps, you don't really need them. You'll always have a fresh one ready to pack, and you don't have to bother with bringing it home. Of course, this isn't the most eco-friendly option, but it's certainly convenient.

Other Travel Toothbrushes We Liked

Quip Electric Toothbrush : This electric toothbrush is lightweight, easy to hold, and about the size of a manual model. It runs on AAA batteries, so you never have to charge it, but taking it apart to replace the batteries is a bit of a struggle.

Oral-B Smart Limited Rechargeable Toothbrush : This high-tech electric toothbrush makes brushing a fun, enjoyable experience. Unfortunately, the motion sensor on the one we tried was pretty inaccurate, detecting the wrong areas of the mouth and continuously telling us we weren't brushing well enough.

We consulted Marc Schlenoff, DDS, FAGD for tips on selecting travel toothbrushes and guidance for testing them out. Next, we chose upwards of 40 models to try firsthand for an ongoing, six-month testing period. After unboxing the toothbrushes, reading through the instructions, and connecting to the apps (if applicable), we tried them out on our own teeth.

We noted the size and feel of the handles, whether the controls were intuitive, what features were useful (or unnecessary), how the bristles felt on our teeth and gums, and how clean our teeth felt after each session. Each model was rated for ease of use, functionality, portability, quality, and overall value. We featured the highest-scoring toothbrushes here and researched additional travel-friendly options to round out our list.

Tips for Buying a Travel Toothbrush

Decide whether you want something manual or electric.

According to research, electric toothbrushes clean your teeth much better than the manual variety, efficiently polishing away plaque and helping prevent gum disease. Plus, most have built-in timers, which make it easier to brush for the full two minutes, as recommended by dentists. Those with a dedicated dental hygiene routine might want to bring an electric toothbrush on trips, but it's definitely okay to go the manual route for a few days if that makes more sense for packing.

"I've never seen a hotel toothbrush I actually liked," says board-certified endodontist Alexa Martin, DMD, who often travels with an electric model. "Treat yourself and put on a new toothbrush head before you go — it'll feel like a small luxury indulgence."

Choose the right brush head 

When buying a travel toothbrush, pay attention to the shape, size, and softness of the brush head. "The bristles should be soft to medium to avoid abrasion of the tooth enamel and gum recession," says Dr. Gonchar, adding that angled bristles help remove plaque around the gum line. "A smaller brush head will allow for easier maneuverability around the back molars and front lower teeth, which are challenging to reach."

Yes, you can take an electric toothbrush on an airplane. Though airlines don't allow spare lithium-ion batteries, it's okay when they're installed within a device — the same goes for things like laptops and massage guns. "Your electric toothbrush can be in your checked bag or your carry-on," says Dr. Martin.

It depends on the type. Manual travel toothbrushes are often just a few dollars, and disposable options can come out to pennies per piece. Electric toothbrushes, on the other hand, often cost $100 or more — sometimes even north of $200.

If you're partial to the electric variety, consider investing in a nice one you can use at home as well as on the go — preferably something with a charging travel case.

You can absolutely use your regular toothbrush on trips. If you have a committed brushing regimen with your electric toothbrush, by all means, bring it with you when you travel. "Make it easy for yourself, and stick to your normal routine," says Dr. Martin.

Most toothbrushes can be used for up to three months (the same goes for the replaceable heads on electric models). However, disposable toothbrushes and other relatively flimsy designs may not hold up as long. Beyond durability, it's important to make sure the bristles stay clean and dry to prevent bacteria growth. This can sometimes be hard when you have to pack your toothbrush right after using it.

Oral B pro 3500 cross action

Got this electric toothbrush 3 weeks ago and omg what can I say it is brilliant,your teeth feel amazing and my gums have improved so much ,even my dentist commented how much my teeth and gums had improved so that to me says it all,a very worthwhile investment.

Was this helpful?

I've finally used it a bunch and I'm not impressed.

It's very strong, yes, but too strong to the point that my teeth hurt for hours after using it. The light for the two minute point... What light? It has never shown itself and I've timed over two minutes a few times now. While brushing it randomly freezes up and grinds gently for a few seconds before going back to normal. I didn't expect rubbish that doesn't do what it says and hurts me, but I suppose that's what I got. I'll have to switch back to manual, what a waste... The reason it's not a one star is because it is definitely an electric toothbrush and I know I have a sensitive mouth, but really, there should be a softer setting.

Brilliant Toothbrush

[This review was collected as part of a promotion] Oral B are the best for electric toothbrushes and this product is another amazing one from them!

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion] I love using this toothbrush, my teeth have never felt cleaner

Stands out from the crowd

[This review was collected as part of a promotion] It goes without saying that Oral B make tooth brushes excellent, but in a world of white this one really does stand out, and my wife has no excuses for using the wrong brush.

Clean teeth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion] Great little tool that did what it said on the box

fantastic product

This is a fantastic product even better with a travel case, This oral B electric tooth is amazing brush it cleans your teeth good just feels like they have been cleaned by professional.it gets in the hard to reach places defiantly recommend this product if you are looking at this you wont be disappointed

Brilliant product

This is the best electric toothbrush I've ever purchased and I've used many . It has 3 modes and a timer to brush your teeth. It also protects your gums and enamel. It looks sleek and luxurious in my bathroom.I really like the look of it and the colour is beautiful too .It charges quickly and the battery life is quite good compared to my older brushes . It's great size and perfect for taking with me when going on holiday .The travel case is a great addition and makes transporting the brush and making sure it stays clean a lot easier .I love love love the cross action brush head . It cleans my teeth so well.My teeth have never looked so good before. I can't recommend this toothbrush enough. It's brilliant.

Professional cleaning for teeth look no further

I have had this product for quite some time. I have now upgraded to the Oral B genius 9000. However that is on the much more pricier side. This is a perfect product for someone with a moderate budget and wants an electric toothbrush just to clean their teeth well and none of the additional features such as guided brushing. It comes with a travel case so it’s perfect for on the go if you ever do need to use it whilst travelling, cleans very well, feels like you’ve just felt the dentist and it’s been professionally cleaned, the spherical shape makes it very easy to clean all of the teeth one at a time.

Oral-B Pro 3 3500 cross action with travel case

Electric toothbrush is really amazing, this is beautifully made in fact created. Good cleaning and looks amazingly smart. Works really well. Love the travel case. Some of the main features are. Oral-B 3D Technology movement: Round toothbrush head oscillates, rotates and pulsates to break up 100 Percent more plaque vs manual toothbrush. • Protect your sensitive gums: Visible gum pressure sensor reduces brushing speed & alerts if you brush too hard. • Three cleaning brushing modes: Daily clean, sensitive, whitening. • Oral-B is the no 1 brand: Used by dentist professionals & approved by the Oral Health FoundationIncludes. • 1 electric toothbrush handle with charger 2 pin UK plug. • One toothbrush head. • One standard travel case.

Transform your smile with the best toothbrushes of 2024. Find your perfect brush here .

What Sets the Oral-B 7000 Apart? 

The Oral-B 7000 is one of the most capable electric toothbrushes in the Oral-B lineup. It stands 9.5 inches tall with a smooth front and a grippy, textured rear handle.

Featured in black or white, this electric toothbrush comes with the following:

• Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush handle
• 1 Cross Action brush head
• 1 3D White brush head
• 1 Sensitive Clean brush head 
• Travel case
• Brush head holder
• Accessory pouch
• Smart Guide device
• Smart Guide holder and wall mount
• Batteries for the Smart Guide device
• Charging base
• Instruction manual 

A small gray rubber nub positioned on the back of the handle prevents the toothbrush from rotating and rolling off the counter. The included brush head holder holds up to four brush heads.

The brush head holder’s features include:

• Dishwasher-safe lining
• Dedicated space for the charger installation

Oral-B 7000 Travel Case

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush has a travel case without a lock. However, it does have a magnetic closure.

These are the features to consider:

• Holds up to two brush heads and one handle
• Lacks ventilation
• Removable and dishwasher-safe inner lining
• Comes with an accessory pouch

The accessory pouch is velcro-lined but barely fits the handle, a brush head, and a small tube of toothpaste. Because of that, I’d say it’s best for overnight stays with a fully charged Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush.

Bluetooth Function

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush features a display panel on the handle. This panel shows the battery charge and Bluetooth status.

Bluetooth connectivity allows you to sync to the Oral-B app and the Smart Guide device. There are no extra buttons to sync the toothbrush handle, app, or Smart Guide device. Instead, the toothbrush automatically connects when it can.

Advanced Motor

On paper, the Oral-B 7000’s advanced motor feature sounds great. However, I experienced some issues that other reviewers had as well.

According to Oral-B, these are the advanced motor’s standout features and benefits:

• Produces 40,000 vibrations and 8,800 oscillatons per minute
• Brushing motion removes up to 500% more plaque than a manual toothbrush 1
• Indicates when to move to the next quadrant of your mouth
• Slows down when you brush too hard

The toothbrush’s motor lets you know when you’re brushing too hard by flashing a red light through the two plastic loops around the toothbrush’s neck. It can also light up green after every 30 seconds of brushing.

I found that the force necessary to trigger the red flash exceeds what you can tolerate. In other words, I already know I’m applying too much pressure before the toothbrush’s sensors can tell me so.

Smart Guide and Oral-B App 

The Oral-B app is available for both Android and Apple devices. It lets you view your calendar, local weather, and recent news. 

The Smart Guide stores up to 6 months of personal brushing data. It features an LCD screen that shows information on your brushing session.

The Oral-B Smart Guide includes the following additional features:

• Displays the brushing mode you’re currently using
• Notifies you when it’s time to switch quadrants
• Alerts you when you’re brushing too hard
• Records when and for how long you brush too hard
• Reminds you to floss, use mouthwash, and replace your brush heads
• Uses a star rating system to rate each brushing session

After you’ve brushed your teeth for 2 minutes, the Smart Guide will display a smiley face. This feedback is a great way to motivate children to brush their teeth twice daily.

Brushing Modes

The display incorporated into the handle doesn’t indicate which mode you’re in. You have to use the Oral-B app or the Smart Guide device to determine which mode you’re in.

The Oral-B 7000 has six brush modes: 1

Each time you place the Oral-B 7000 on the charger, it reverts to the Daily Clean brush setting. It’s one of the more inconvenient features of the brush because you have to scroll through the settings to find the mode you want.

Brush Heads

Oral-B includes the following brush heads with your Oral-B 7000 purchase: 

• Cross Action — Capitalizes on the toothbrush’s vibrating and oscillating features for a superior clean
• 3D White — Polishing bristles makes brushing feel like a visit to the dentist’s chair
• Sensitive Clean — Ultra-soft bristles on this brush head, which were just as effective at cleaning my teeth while being gentle on my gums

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush handle is compatible with all other non-iO brush heads, including: 

• Pro Gum Care
• Floss Action
• Precision Clean

Each brush head is color-coded with a small ring around the base. This feature helps you tell brush heads apart if you share your Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush. 

You can easily find replacement brush heads on the Oral-B website. Oral-B brush heads contain a unique feature where the blue bristles fade as you use them.

Cleaning Quality

The six cleaning modes make adjusting the vibration settings easy to fit your comfort level. Switching between brush heads can also help you maximize this electric toothbrush’s potential. 

I used the Oral-B 7000 in Daily Clean and Deep Clean modes. Both work well to lift stains and leave my teeth feeling smooth.

These are my observations on some of the modes’ cleaning qualities:

• Deep Clean ⁠— Worked well for food that sticks between teeth or for teeth that are closer together
• Whitening ⁠— Lifted coffee stains from my teeth and improved overall appearance

I also switched out brush heads to further customize my toothbrushing session. These are my observations:

• Cross Action ⁠— Suitable for most of my brushing sessions
• 3D White ⁠— Best after a morning coffee to prevent stains
• Sensitive Clean ⁠— Gentle on the teeth and gums and soothing enough before bed

Charging and Battery Life

Oral-B includes two AAA batteries for the Smart Guide device. However, the Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush charges via a wireless charger that plugs into your standard home outlet. 

Features of the Oral-B 7000 wireless charging include:

• Chargeable on circuits up to 130 volts only
• Mirrors other Oral-B chargers
• Impossible to overcharge
• Takes 24 hours to charge fully 4
• Full charge lasts up to 10 days of brushing twice daily

The electric toothbrush’s display shows three bars, each representing 33% of the charge. It also flashes two colors to indicate two meanings:

• Blue ⁠— The toothbrush is charging (the light switches off when the toothbrush is fully charged)
• Rapid blue flashes ⁠— Low battery
• Orange ⁠— Empty battery

If the battery runs out, it takes 40 minutes of charging before you can use your toothbrush again. When you take the handle off the charger, it attempts to connect to the Oral-B app and Smart Guide automatically.

Oral-B 7000 vs. Other Electric Toothbrushes: A Personal Comparison

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush competes with several well-known brands, including SNOW and Philips Sonicare. You can also compare it to the more affordable Oral-B 5000 electric toothbrush, which lacks the Tongue Clean brushing mode and compatibility with the Smart Guide device. 

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush pairs with the Oral-B app and Smart Guide device via Bluetooth, a feature only the Oral-B 5000 shares. It offers the most brushing modes of its competitors, complete with vibrating and oscillating brush head action.

Besides Oral-B, the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 6100 is one of the only electric toothbrushes in this price range offering a pressure sensor.

Why I Chose the Oral-B 7000 Over Other Oral-B Models

Pairing your electric toothbrush with your smartphone incorporates brushing into your daily life more easily. Oral-B does this by pairing the 7000 electric toothbrush with the Smart Guide device and your smartphone to track oral hygiene habits.

Here’s how the 7000 model compares with other Oral-B electric toothbrushes:

Oral-B 3000 vs. Oral-B 7000

The Oral-B 3000 electric toothbrush has a longer battery life of 14 days but only features three brushing modes. 11 At about half the cost of the 7000 model, the 3000 electric toothbrush offers similar cleaning performance and a pressure sensor.

You only receive the Cross Action brush head with the 3000 model. However, it’s compatible with all other Oral-B non-iO brush heads. 

Oral-B 5000 vs. Oral-B 7000

The Oral-B 5000 and 7000 electric toothbrushes are nearly identical, except for a few variances. 10 The 5000 model offers only five brushing modes and comes with only the Cross Action brush head.

Like the 7000 model, the 5000 electric toothbrush has a 10-day battery life, an integrated pressure sensor, a built-in timer, and a travel case. 

Oral-B 7000 vs. Oral-B 8000

You get two extra days of charge with the Oral-B 8000 model. 12 This top-tier electric toothbrush features six brushing modes, a charging travel case, and Bluetooth connectivity.

Your smartphone becomes the Smart Guide device in this case. The Oral-B app uses facial recognition software and Position Detection technology to track brushing movements so you don’t miss a spot.

Is the Oral-B 7000 Worth the Investment?

If you’re looking for an electric toothbrush that offers functionality and versatility, consider buying the Oral-B 7000. This Oral-B electric toothbrush is competitively priced and provides value to match.

Between the six brushing modes and handfuls of available Oral-B brush heads, this electric toothbrush can adapt to suit your oral health needs. The only drawback to the Oral-B 7000 lies in needing the Smart Guide to know which brushing mode you use per session.

A full 10 days of battery life make this Oral-B toothbrush travel friendly. However, the travel case works better than the accessory pouch for long travels.

My Tips for Maintaining Your Oral-B 7000

The Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush battery lasts up to 10 days. If you have counter space, it is a good idea to charge it when unused. If you’re worried about leaving it plugged in while you’re gone, you can always charge it when you get home from work and unplug it when you go to bed. 

The brush heads feature blue bristles that turn clear as they age. It’s best to replace them every 3 months to maintain oral hygiene. 13

Replacing the brush heads is easy. Oral-B offers several brush head types, so you can mix and match as needed.

Final Thoughts: Should You Buy the Oral-B 7000?

Based on the features and price point, I highly recommend the Oral-B 7000 electric toothbrush. Compared to similarly priced electric toothbrushes, the Oral-B 7000 offers a variety of brushing modes and available brush heads to customize your brushing routine. 

It offers slightly more features than the Oral-B 3000 and 5000 models without overloading technological features like the 8000 electric toothbrush. If you’re looking for an electric toothbrush as versatile and well-built as any German product, look no further than Oral-B. 

Check the Oral-B 7000’s current price and explore other Oral-B electric toothbrush models to see which best fits your oral hygiene needs.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

What our Customers say…

“I’m in love!“

“I’ve used a couple cheap electric toothbrushes before but always ended up going back to a manual. I tried this one and I’m in love! This brush is so fancy!! It’s a very sleek toothbrush. I got the black onyx. I’ve never had brush with so many features, It’s exciting to brush my teeth now! I love the case, love the charger and love that it charges quickly. Download the app! The information it gives is fun and fascinating. I love how it senses if you’re brushing too hard which apparently I have problem with. I’m hooked. I would definitely recommend this brush. Your teeth will thank you.”

“Dental hygienist approved!”

“As a dental hygienist, I get to try all of the latest technologies and products of all brands. This by far is my favorite product I’ve experienced for myself AND my patients. I have noticed minimal plaque and bleeding areas in my patients that are using the IO toothbrush (correctly). If I have a patient that says they don't like the brush, I show them how to properly use it. More than 9/10, they were uing it incorrectly & end up loving the brush after proper use. Ask your dental professional for advice!! I believe in this brush from personal and professional experience and recommened it to all of my patients, friends, and family!”

“I actually look forward to brushing now!”

“I love my new Oral-B iO toothbrush! It’s nice and lightweight and everytime I brush my teeth I feel like I’ve just left the dentist, especielly in those hard to reach areas. There is a new pressure sensor that turns green when I’m brushing at just the right pressure, so I’ll never have to guess again. I also love the colored LED display with the timer and battery indicator. I feel like I have everything I need right in the palm of my hand and the sleek design looks so beautiful on my bathroom counter!”
