WAU MORI BLACK Sonic Toothbrush
An editorial profile of WAU’s MORI BLACK sonic toothbrush, covering its five modes and the single 48,000 vibrations-per-minute figure published for them, the two heads and wear indicator, and the 45% efficiency claim WAU makes without citing a source.
At a glance
MORI BLACK is the simpler and cheaper of WAU’s two sonic brushes, and the differences are worth stating plainly because the listing does not. It quotes the highest vibration figure in the range, 48,000 per minute, but only as a single maximum - where MORI 2.0 publishes a rate for each of its five modes, this one publishes five mode names and one number, so there is no way to tell what "delicate" actually runs at. It also has no pressure sensor, which is the one feature on the 2.0 that guards against the commonest way people damage their own gums, and its case is a plain travel case rather than a sterilising one. The 45% figure is the claim to be most careful with: a precise percentage improvement, with no comparator and no study named. The statement that it suits veneers, braces and implants is WAU’s, and is a question for a dentist. A South African price, availability and warranty position still need to be established.
- Useful for
- Readers comparing entry sonic brushes, and weighing this against the better-specified MORI 2.0.
- Not ideal for
- Anyone who wants a pressure sensor, per-mode figures, or the 45% claim substantiated.

- South African market
- verified — checked 2026-09-09. Checked against WAU Global's own published pages on 2026-09-09. DELIVERY: ships to most countries worldwide; South Africa appears in the site's country/region selector. International delivery quoted at 7-14 business days, after 1-2 business days' processing, via UPS, FedEx, DHL or USPS at WAU's discretion. Orders over USD 50 ship free; otherwise the charge is shown only at checkout. CURRENCY: the selector lists 'South Africa (USD $)' - WAU prices South African buyers in US dollars and does not offer rand. TAX AND DUTIES - WAU'S PAGES CONFLICT: the Shipping Policy states 'For the tax: WAU Global Will pay for the tax, we will not charge the tax fee from our customers', while the Terms of Service state 'posted prices do not include taxes, shipping, handling, customs or import charges' and that the customer 'will pay ... all applicable taxes'. Both cannot hold for an import into South Africa. Recorded as unresolved; the profile tells readers to expect to pay South African VAT, customs duty and courier clearance fees, which is the Terms position and the safe assumption. Written confirmation is being sought. RETURNS: 30 days from receipt, unused and undamaged, in original packaging with proof of purchase. The buyer must contact info@wauglobal.com first - 'items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted'. WAU says it will send a return shipping label if the return is accepted, but does not state whether that label is prepaid for international customers; returning a device from South Africa could be costly, so this is recorded as an open ambiguity rather than assumed either way. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 10 business days of inspection. WARRANTY: WAU's FAQ says 'most products come with a manufacturer's warranty. Check the product description for details.' None of the 23 WAU product descriptions read for this catalogue states a warranty duration or its coverage, so at product level the warranty terms are a checked absence. WAU separately undertakes to replace a defective product free of charge, but does not say who pays international shipping, customs or VAT on a warranty claim.

PowderedPurple assessment
MORI BLACK is the simpler and cheaper of WAU’s two sonic brushes, and the differences are worth stating plainly because the listing does not.

Pros and cons
Pros
- A 48,000 movements-per-minute maximum is published as a plain number
- Two bristle grades are supplied, with a colour-change wear indicator on both
- Battery life is given both as minutes and as an everyday figure of about two months
Cons
- Unlike the MORI 2.0, no vibration rate is published for individual modes, so the five settings cannot be compared
- No pressure sensor, on a device whose top speed is the highest in the WAU range
- The claim that it improves plaque and tartar removal by 45% is published with no study or comparator cited
What to examine
- Merchant listing title
- MORI BLACK NEW - SONIC TOOTHBRUSH. Quoted as published by WAU.
- Modes
- Five, described as ranging from delicate to intensive. Unlike MORI 2.0, WAU does not publish a vibration rate for each mode - only a single maximum figure for the device.
- Vibration
- Up to 48,000 movements per minute.
- Heads
- Two included, with soft and medium-hard bristles, and a colour-change wear indicator.
- Timer
- A timer with audio signals for a 2-minute brushing time.
- Battery
- Up to 240 minutes, which WAU also describes as about 2 months of regular use. No capacity or charge time is published.
- Case
- A compact travel case. WAU does not describe it as sterilising, unlike the MORI 2.0 case.
- How it compares in the range
- WAU also sells MORI 2.0, which publishes a vibration rate per mode, adds a pressure sensor, a cleaning map, a third head and a UV case.
- What WAU does not publish
- No per-mode vibration rate, no pressure sensor, no battery capacity or charge time, no IP rating, and no head-compatibility information.
- Manufacturer documentation
- WAU user guide for model LL-35, obtained 9 September 2026 from WAU's Russian site: https://wau.ru/upload/iblock/275/cazd180sjz31ticb70vjikbk71z8mya3.pdf . It is more specific than the English product listing, and this profile's figures and cautions are taken from it where the two differ.
How to use
WAU says to brush twice a day for 2 minutes, to start on the delicate mode and increase intensity gradually, and to change the head every 3 months. Follow the instructions supplied with the device.
Limitations and cautions
PowderedPurple has not tested this toothbrush and does not present it as a treatment for gum disease, staining or any dental condition. WAU's own user manual (model LL-35) covers handling rather than medical cautions: do not drop it, stop using it if the body or head is damaged, keep it and its charging base away from heat, do not take it apart, and clean it only with water below 40 C. Fit replacement heads made for model LL-35. Use the built-in two-minute timer, start on the Sensitive mode if your gums are tender, and let the brush do the work rather than pressing hard - pressure is what damages gums and enamel, not vibration. If your gums bleed persistently, see a dentist. An electric toothbrush does not replace cleaning between your teeth or regular dental check-ups.
Product information from the source
The manufacturer specification describes this product as follows. These are source statements, not PowderedPurple conclusions, and they have not been independently verified.
- PowderedPurple does not adopt WAU’s statement that MORI BLACK "effectively and gently cleans teeth", "removes plaque, prevents gum disease, and helps maintain oral health", nor its description of the brush as "a stylish gift for anyone who cares about their smile".
- It says high-frequency vibration up to 48,000 movements per minute "increases the efficiency of breaking down dense pigmented plaque and removing tartar by 45%", and that the non-contact acoustic method makes it "an ideal choice for people with veneers, braces, or implants".
- These are the manufacturer’s own statements, quoted from its product page. WAU cites no supporting evidence and PowderedPurple has not verified them. Gum disease is a clinical condition, this brush is not presented here as a treatment for it, and the suitability statement for veneers, braces and implants is the manufacturer’s - those are questions for your dentist. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
