Posted by Roman Kovalev - 03/10/2020 5373 comments

In the Xiaomi catalog you can find many health and hygiene products, including electric toothbrushes. One of the most popular models is Xiaomi Soocas X3 (aka Soocare) with a lot of functionality.

Today we want to compare Xiaomi Soocas X3 with the Xiaomi MiJia Electric Toothbrush and Xiaomi Amazfit Oclean One models to make it easier for you to understand how smart toothbrushes differ from each other and which option should be preferred.

Xiaomi brand history

This company1 appeared not so long ago, in 2010, but today its products are widely represented in 80 countries around the world. All products have a recognizable Mi or MI logo, which the representatives of the manufacturing company themselves decipher as mobile Internet, because the first thing they began to create were smartphones and intelligent equipment, whose full-fledged operation today is impossible without an Internet connection. The mission of the company's employees is to bring unique products to the end consumer at affordable prices, allow them to enjoy innovative technologies and make life easier, better and more interesting.

The official international name of the Chinese brand is Xiaomi, however, when pronounced and written in Russian, you can hear many different interpretations: “Xiaomi”, “Haomi”, “Xiaomi”, “Xiomi”. If you come across one of them on the Internet, keep in mind that they are one and the same.

The company is constantly improving, it has fans all over the world who create entire forums for communication and sharing experiences in using certain gadgets. And even moreover, most employees came to work for Xiaomi precisely because they love the products of this brand, i.e. This is truly a team of like-minded people. Today, Xiaomi is the 4th largest smartphone brand in the world, while the company has created its own consumer IoT platform, to which more than 150.9 million smart devices are connected (excluding smartphones and laptops). For example, home security cameras, smart watches, table lamps, even water filters and much, much more.

Fearlessness in testing new ideas and pushing the boundaries of what is possible is what makes this brand's products, including electric toothbrushes, so unique.

What to choose?

Both devices can connect to a phone, which allows you to receive up-to-date information about the quality of teeth cleaning and other parameters. They work without recharging for about the same time. The waterproof housing allows them to be washed in water.

The main difference between Soocas X3 and X5 is that the third modification does not have a soft start function, NFC tag or vibration damping technology. In addition, the “five” provides the opportunity not only to choose one of four modes, but also to adjust the power level at your discretion.

The principle of operation of Xiaomi brushes

The product manufacturer emphasizes that daily brushing of teeth should not become something insignificant or boring for us, because our daily life will depend on how well we do it. It is important to develop a good habit and learn to receive positive emotions from the process so that your teeth are cleaner, healthier and more beautiful. And Mi electric toothbrushes will help with this, facilitating more thorough and gentle cleaning of the oral cavity due to the smart technologies programmed into them.

Each Xiaomi electric toothbrush model is equipped with a sonic motor with magnetic levitation, which allows for more than 31,000 vibrations per minute. In this case, the power is transferred to the head, which makes teeth cleaning better and more productive even when you simply bring the device to the enamel, but do not have a significant impact on it, i.e. don't press. Another feature is that the brush head does not rotate, but vibrates.

On a note! Xiaomi brushes belong to the sonic class, so compared to ultrasonic brushes (which have more than 100 million vibrations per minute) and classic electric brushes (where the head simply moves), they do their job more carefully. In addition, they do not make as much noise, but only produce a faint but not annoying buzzing sound. Suitable for children, the elderly, people with sensitive enamel and even those who have artificial crowns or braces installed.

Electric toothbrush SOOCAS X5 Sonic

A stylish device that will serve as a real decoration for your bath. The design - with bright colors and rounded lines - is clearly inspired by the works of pop art artists.

The device is equipped with a powerful electric motor with magnetic levitation (joint development of engineers from Japan and Germany). By efficiently transferring power from the rotor to the head, the system creates high-frequency vibrations.

Maximum number of movements : 37,200 per minute.

Smart NFC chip . Analyzes the cleaning process. If the user presses too hard on the brush (and therefore harms the gums and enamel), a red light lights up.

In order for the user to achieve uniform cleanliness of the teeth, the brush reminds every 30 seconds to move on to the next area.

The Bluetooth sensor is synchronized with the Soocas mobile application. On the smartphone, the user can see important information: how long the cleaning lasted, an assessment of its effectiveness, etc.

The sensor will also warn you about the need to change the nozzle. The brush comes with 3 replaceable heads (including a special one for whitening).

Operating modes . There are 4 main scenarios (configured in the mobile application):

• Standard . For people who do not have any dental problems. In this mode, the brush performs 31 thousand vibrations per minute.
• Gentle . Optimal for users with gum problems or wearing braces. Provides lower vibration speed.
• Massage . A good option for those who first started using electric brushes. This regimen helps prevent inflammation and bleeding of the gums.
• Whitening . Suitable for those who like to drink coffee or have a smoking habit. Effectively removes plaque. The vibration speed reaches a maximum of 37,200.

Each mode has 3 power levels that can be easily switched. Therefore, in fact, the brush has 12 different operating scenarios.

Battery 1000 mAh . A full charge takes about 16 hours. If you brush your teeth for two minutes every day, then one charge will last for 25 days of battery life.

Water protection class IPX7 . The electrical device is completely protected from water and dust. Suitable for use in the bathroom. You can wash the brush directly under the tap.

Design features of Xiaomi brushes

Special bristles and small head

Very dense bristles (40% denser than devices with a similar head size) were created by the American company DuPont and attached to the base using a special technology, due to which dirt does not get between them, and the device is considered more environmentally friendly, healthy and safe. Each bristle is smoothly polished and rounded at the end - this makes cleaning safe, you will not damage or scratch your tooth enamel or injure your gums.

Using an electric toothbrush incorrectly can harm your teeth. To prevent this from happening to you, read the article on the topic: how to properly brush your teeth with an electric brush.

Multi-mode

Everyone can choose exactly the mode that suits them best. This can be a standard, “gentle” (gentle) or individual mode. In the latter case, you need to connect your phone to an application in which you can set individual parameters, for example, time and pressure. Also in the application, you can enter data about the products you eat, your diet, your habits - then the program will offer you settings and programs, among which you can choose the ones that best suit your needs or daily habits.

“I have an electric toothbrush Xiomi, I really like that it has an individual mode. Just don’t be alarmed: when it turns on for the first time, it will automatically tune in to beginner mode and offer to brush your teeth in it several times first. He will, as it were, study the features of your cleaning, your needs and then allow you to switch to other modes. This is cool! I’ve been using it for six months now and never tire of being surprised by new things!”

High precision acceleration sensor

It is built into the handle of the device and allows you to determine how effectively you brush your teeth, whether you remove plaque and dirt from all areas equally well, or whether there are areas that you miss. The sensor analyzes the statistics of your daily cleanings, their duration, coverage, creates graphs for the week, for the month - all this can be tracked and analyzed through a special application downloaded to the phone. The device communicates with the phone via Bluetooth.

Long operating period after recharging

One recharge is enough for 18 days of work - and this is the minimum; depending on the model, the period can be much longer. Thus, the most advanced models work up to 60 days without recharging. All this is possible thanks to the built-in lithium battery of Mi Electric Toothbrush, which has a long service life. Moreover, on your phone you can control the battery power level, for example, decrease or increase it, in order to prevent the device from being unable to complete its work at the appointed time.

Mi Electric Toothbrush USB port

You can even charge your smart accessory from your computer.

IPX waterproof housing

If your device has an IPX7 housing (or in the most advanced models IPX8), then according to the manufacturer, it can be placed in water to a depth of about 1 meter and still not worry about its functionality being impaired for about half an hour. However, it’s still not worth experimenting; you don’t need to take the device into the bathroom or use it in the shower, because... Unlike water, steam and gas molecules, which are formed from high temperatures, can penetrate unnoticed into a sealed housing.

Anti-slip handle

It will be unpleasant if the device jumps out of wet hands during oral hygiene and gets damaged by hitting the bottom of the bathroom, sink or floor. However, this will not happen with the Xiaomi electric toothbrush, because... the manufacturer has provided textured ledges, bumps and lines on the back of its handle.

Smart charging dock

You brushed your teeth and carelessly installed the device on the base, but in the end it did not recharge? Now this is not a problem, in the case of the Xiaomi electric toothbrush this is not a problem, which is confirmed by the reviews of its satisfied owners, because it will automatically adjust to the desired position even if you place it at an angle or not securely.

Changeable color ring

If you buy brushes from this brand for the whole family, then you don’t have to worry that they will all be the same. On each of them you can install a ring that distinguishes it from the rest by color. This will help you not to get confused about where and whose device is.

Important! For Russians, the Xiaomi electric toothbrush can only be purchased on online platforms. However, reviews from some users indicate that becoming the proud owner of an original Mi gadget is not so easy, because... As a result, the product either does not arrive from China, or a fake arrives. Fortunately, today there are official representative companies, for example, Xiacom2, which are aimed at expanding the brand’s coverage area in Russia and can advise the buyer on different models.

Review of varieties of Xiaomi electric brushes

As you already understand, the company’s products are distinguished by fairly high functionality and smart filling, which is why people around the world choose them. However, the brand presents a variety of models, and it is difficult to immediately determine what exactly you like the most. We present you an overview that will help you find your ideal assistant for high-quality, daily and enjoyable oral care.

Xiaomi Soocare Soocas X3

The review of Xiaomi electric toothbrushes should start with the classic Soocas X3 model, which can be the first electric brush in your life if you have only used mechanical ones before. It has medium-hard bristles and a long battery life without recharging - about 22 days. This smart device vibrates at a frequency of up to 37,200 vibrations per minute, which allows you to effectively remove plaque and food debris not only from the surface of the enamel, but also from the interdental spaces.

The standard kit includes one removable Soocare Clean base head for daily use. But if you wish, you can also additionally purchase other attachments for your Xiaomi electric toothbrush: Soocare Inter (suitable for sensitive enamel and inflammation of the gums) and Soocare Mini (for whitening enamel).

On a note! Soocare X3, like all other models from Xiaomi, is equipped with a smart sensor head (6 sensors are built into it), which prevents the paste from splashing on the device when it is turned on until it is in the mouth, and also stops vibrating and gives a signal if you stay in one area for too long (more than 30 seconds).

Soocare X3 operates in four modes: initial, sensitive, standard and individual. The first one is suitable for beginners and those with sore gums. The second will safely remove plaque from sensitive enamel. The third is used on an ongoing basis by those who have healthy teeth and gums. And the fourth mode is suitable for advanced users who themselves want to create an individual oral cleaning program. To start the individual mode, just download the special Soocas program for Andriod or iOS via Google Play.

Through the application you can also launch programs that offer you enhanced enamel whitening, tongue cleaning or gum massage. Through the application, it is also convenient to update the brush firmware and keep an individual diary of the effectiveness of your daily cleanings - for each cleaning the program will assign points, by which you will understand whether you should strengthen your hygiene even more or, conversely, you should be more careful.

Cost – from 2700 rubles.

Mijia Sound Wave Electric Toothbrush

This model is similar in characteristics to Soocas X3, but it also has differences: there are only three modes - soft, standard and individual. It is better to start using it with the most gentle soft mode. The number of vibrations reaches 31,000 times per minute. True, some Internet users note that even the softest mode will initially surprise you with a whole range of sensations: it will not be discomfort, but a tickling sensation, some even compare it to a stone crusher and claim that the device wakes you up in the morning better than an alarm clock. However, everything here is individual; in the end, users get used to the vibrations and are satisfied with the purchase, and then they begin to experiment with the modes.

The device lasts for 1-1.5 months of use without recharging, provided that you brush your teeth twice a day for 2 standard minutes. All this is because it has a fairly powerful battery – 770mAh. You can also use different removable attachments for it, however, the kit includes only one standard one with medium-hard bristles, the rest must be purchased via the Internet - their cost is about 400 rubles per piece. You also need to be prepared for the fact that the nozzle will have to be changed once every 90 days - it is during this period of time that it will wear out and become unsafe for the oral cavity. However, if you install a smart application, you won’t even have to remember and calculate when you need to change the nozzle, because... The device itself will tell you about this.

Cost – from 2500 rubles.

Xiaomi Oclean One Toothbrush

The most advanced model that has a waterproof speaker and can “speak”. Using the application, you can record your voice or favorite music onto the device, which will accompany you during oral hygiene. There are 4 cleaning modes and 2 replaceable attachments included - both of them are basic, suitable for daily cleaning. For teeth whitening and for sensitive enamel, you need to purchase separately. Also included is a storage case and magnetic charger.

Oclean One will delight you with accelerated charging - a full charge will take only 3.5 hours, and a long period of battery life - up to 60 days without recharging. The frequency of sound vibrations is 42,000 beats per minute. If you install the application on your phone for an individual cleaning mode, you can use about 12 individual programs and 72 free basic settings.

Cost – from 4000 rubles.

MiJia Sound Wave Electric Toothbrush

It is deservedly included in the top 5 electric toothbrushes of 2022, because it has high performance characteristics and guarantees delicate and reliable removal of all types of contaminants.

Among the main features of the device it should be noted:

• Optimally selected density of bristles, which include implanted metal. Thanks to this, the nozzle does not lose its original properties for a long time;
• The product remembers hand movements and gestures, then all information is transmitted via Bluetooth to a smartphone. Using a special application, an analysis is made of whether the user has performed the hygiene procedure correctly, and if any errors are detected, appropriate recommendations will be given;
• High cleaning efficiency is achieved due to a powerful engine that creates up to 31 thousand sound vibrations per minute;
• Three modes are available: soft, which puts minimal pressure on the enamel and gums, standard and custom. In the latter case, the owner independently sets the intensity of rotation of the head, the level of pressure and the duration of operation;
• Detailed collection of information about the condition of the oral cavity. For this purpose, there are six built-in sensors that collect data on various medical indicators. After processing them in a separate application, a detailed picture of the health of teeth and gums is compiled, which is in no way inferior in its level to a professional medical examination;
• The operating time without recharging reaches 18 days, because the battery capacity is 700 mAh. Recharging can be done from any device that has a USB output, or from a standard network, for which a separate adapter is used. There is also a separate charging base with a perfectly balanced socket that guarantees a tight fit to the contacts;
• Ensuring maximum water resistance (protection class - IPX7), therefore completely eliminating the possibility of damage to the electronic filling from accidental moisture.

Appearance of electric brushes for adults

Depending on the chosen model, it will differ:

• MiJia: matte, white. The panel has one rubberized convex oval button and 5 color indicators. In the off mode, all components of the body merge with each other and are quite difficult to see. The only thing bright about it is the color of the bristles, they are blue. There are pimples on the back of the handle that provide an anti-slip effect.
• Soocas X3: black or white, matte. The golden control button stands out brightly and beautifully on it; when turned on, the LED indicators are also activated - there are only 5 of them on the panel,
• Oclean One: Has a crisp white color and a silver finish, glossy. It has a white round control button slightly recessed inside the device, and there are also four color indicators.

Teeth Brushing Modes

Operating modes of the smart brush.
To configure the smart brush, the following operating modes are provided:

1. Standard. For daily cleaning of the oral cavity, provided there are no diseases of the teeth and mucous membranes. The “smart” brush in this mode operates at a frequency of 31,000 vibrations/minute.

Xiaomi for children

The Chinese brand also presents a very cute model for children, and it is suitable for both boys and girls. It's called Soocas C1 for Kids. The head of this brush is small and the bristles are soft. It has a rubberized body, made in several variations: in soft blue tones or yellow (depending on which one you order). There are two replaceable panels: the blue one has a bunny as its main character, and the yellow one has a little man. According to the manufacturers, one panel will appeal to boys, for example, on the model in blue, it shows a bunny dressed in a blue jumpsuit, and the second panel is for girls - it shows a bunny in a red suit.

Choose an electric brush for your child according to his age and preferences. Then the process of oral hygiene will turn into an interesting and desirable activity, and we will help you approach the selection process wisely.

To get kids excited about the process of daily brushing their teeth, the manufacturer suggests installing a special application in which the main character is a hare or rabbit. He will brush his teeth on the phone screen just like your baby, and after the procedure he will advance along the travel map and receive a pleasant bonus in the form of fruit.

On a note! A particularly sensitive touch sensor is built into the Soocas C1 for Kids head, which causes it to slow down or stop completely if there is excessive pressure on the enamel from the child.

The brush is made of environmentally friendly and safe plastic, which is easy to clean, hypoallergenic, does not absorb odors and does not emit toxins. The device has a minimum vibration power, the teeth brushing time is standard - programmed for 2 minutes, as for adults. There are two operating modes - training and standard. The battery is fully charged in 12 hours, and then the smart device can last up to 20 days without recharging.

As you can see, Xiaomi brand products are very diverse, so everyone can choose what they like and can afford. The manufacturer also offers the adult population to improve the quality of teeth cleaning by purchasing not only an effective electric brush, but also SOOCAS Whitening Toothpaste. The paste contains 5 active ingredients that will help to carefully whiten enamel, strengthen teeth, and make your breath fresh. Its cost starts from 800 rubles per tube. However, we recommend that before purchasing a toothpaste, as well as any electric brush, you first consult with a dentist, who will determine whether these products and advanced devices are suitable for you for health reasons.

conclusions

Let's summarize. All Xiaomi electric brushes are made of very high quality and are truly innovative gadgets. Each has an attractive design with its own features. All representatives of the line also share the IPX7 moisture protection class. And also – branded Dupont bristles.

But there are certain differences:

1. If budget is your priority, we recommend purchasing the Soocas Electric Sonic Toothbrush X1. This model does not have synchronization with a smartphone, but it costs less than other brothers in the Xiaomi family.
2. For those who value maximum autonomy, the Amazfit Oclean One Smart Sonic electric brush is suitable. It can work on a single charge for as long as 60 days. This model will also be appreciated by those who strive for maximum cleaning efficiency.
3. For the youngest users, a special children's brush Soocas Kids Sonic Electric Toothbrush C1 is presented.
4. Soocas Electric Toothbrush X3 is a good budget option that has 4 operating modes and provides synchronization with a smartphone.
5. For those who prefer maximum comfort, we recommend choosing the SOOCAS X5 Sonic brush with its 12 operating modes.
