This means the Pro-Expert has 6 cleaning modes compared to the 4 of the Aquacare 4.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Aquacare 6 comes with 2 Oxyjet nozzles, the 4 comes with 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Aquacare 6 Pro-Expert comes in a white and grey colour whilst the Aquacare 4 comes in white and blue colour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Aquacare 6 Pro-Expert is more expensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These differences are explained at length later in this article. However, you might wish to learn more about each brush being compared. To do so, check out our hands-on reviews:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-aquacare-4-review\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Aquacare 4 review<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/oral-b-aquacare-6-review\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Aquacare 6 Pro-Expert review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Please note.

I am a fan of blue and grey, but I think I am more drawn to the blue on the Aquacare 4, it feels just a touch less clinical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The colour accents are the main buttons\/controls on the front of the unit, the rubber at the top of the unit around the removable nozzle and the colour of the water tank on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not have the option of selecting either model in different colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arguably the biggest difference is what Oral-B class as the cleaning modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aquacare 4 has 4, whilst the 6 Pro-Expert has 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a bit misleading as neither have 4 or 6 labelled on the handle as you might expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 4 has 2 on the handle, regular and sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 6 on the other hand has 3, intense, medium and sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These labels actually refer to the intensity, the power at which the water is pushed from the nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The so called modes are achieved, when you pair these intensity choices with the 2 different water streams available from the nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Via a grey control switch on the nozzle you can choose between a focused (powerful jet) or rotational stream (air bubbles mixed in) of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I mention in my hands-on reviews, the modes then are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aquacare 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a noticeable difference between regular and sensitive as there is intense and sensitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pressure difference between medium and intense and medium and sensitive does exist, but it is more difficult to notice unless you are paying close attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore the regular and sensitive on the Aquacare 4 are fine, in my opinion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, the choice of 3 intensities on the 6 is nice to have. We all like choice right?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A noteworthy issue\/frustration here is how does 'regular' on the 4 variant compare with those on the 6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why doesn't the 4 have intense and sensitive and then the 6 add in medium?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why mix up names over models?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Oral_B_Aquacare_4_Vs_6_Pro_Expert_Water_Flosser-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4024474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Oral_B_Aquacare_4_Vs_6_Pro_Expert_Water_Flosser-18.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Oral_B_Aquacare_4_Vs_6_Pro_Expert_Water_Flosser-18-300x105.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricteeth.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Oral_B_Aquacare_4_Vs_6_Pro_Expert_Water_Flosser-18-768x269.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Oral-B website or supporting documentation is sadly no help here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I tried to determine in my testing whether regular was closest to the intense or medium.  I felt it was closer to medium than intense. But, its tricky to really say for sure, they can feel like they blur into each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think Oral-B have overcomplicated this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just having low, medium and high would have been great.  Most of us can understand these differences. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"clean\" class=\"wp-block-group comp-qs-2-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does one clean better than the other?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, is the short answer.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both can deliver equivalent results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that the Pro-Expert has an extra intensity does provide some argument that it could clean the interdental spaces better for some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in reality proving this is almost impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The different intensities really relate to the comfort and enjoyment of use.  That medium option on the 6, might be the perfect balance between intense and sensitive for some.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"price\" class=\"wp-block-group comp-qs-3-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is one better priced than the other?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, the Aquacare 4 is cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aquacare 4 has a suggested retail price of \u00a399.99 whilst the Pro-Expert 6 has a \u00a3124.99 price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u00a325 premium for the few difference outlined above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My initial reaction is that this is a bit steep, but I understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reality of the dental healthcare market is that the actual selling price is much lower and both models have an average selling price of 40% less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What this means is that the 4 sells for around \u00a360 and the 6, \u00a370.  A \u00a310 premium is now more sensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would cost you at least \u00a33 to buy the extra nozzle that comes with the 6!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Priced over 3 years, the Aquacare 4 comes in at 8 pence per day compared to the 9 pence of the 6.  Not a great deal of difference ultimately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price is of course subjective and you may value extra features more and see the Aquacare 6 as the better buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would say that if the price difference was just \u00a35, I would go with the 6, just for the extra nozzle as I would buy this anyhow and you have the option of the extra mode should you want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"prices-are-approx-block wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Please note that all prices quoted are approximates and will vary based on

model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A nozzle, 1 intensity and about \u00a310 is really all that sets them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aquacare 4 is the one to go for as the more cost effective model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, if it was a case of paying only \u00a35 more for the Pro-Expert, it would be worth it, for the extra nozzle and to at least have the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div  class=\"table-border-fix-wrapper my-8 table-product-price-comparison\">\n            <div class=\"table-horizontal-scroll
