Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, White

Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Toothbrush has not disappointed me. I’ve had my own since 2019. It still functions beautifully. The one thing I’ve noticed is the battery charge doesn’t last as long as it did when it was new. I could go 2 weeks or more without charging. Now it’s about 1 week & I need to charge. I do brush morning & night for the full 2 minutes. I love everything about it. I don’t have sensitive teeth thus my teeth can handle the deep cleaning it provides. I really don’t recommend this if you do have sensitive teeth as I feel it would be too harsh. The timing function works wonderfully for it tells me when to move onto the next area of my mouth. ••To prevent a yukky mess that drips down I have learned 2 things: I thoroughly run water under the brush while it’s running to fully clean it. This, however, doesn’t prevent yuk from your brushing from forming down where the brush head meets the toothbrush. I became tired of a toothbrush that had dried toothpaste on it even though I thought cleaning the head was enough. Unfortunately the yuk does collect at that area & begins the mess. To prevent that I do now take the head of the brush every time I use it now. I just sit in to side in a dry cloth. Hence a clean brush.Since my purchase I’ve purchased 2 more. One for my husband who was told by his Dentist he needed an electric toothbrush because he was developing gingivitis. He loves it because it’s so easy to brush now. The toothbrush does all the work. At first he was doing the brushing & ruined the head a little. So a reminder this does the brushing for you. You only need to move the brush around your mouth. Since having mine I haven’t had one cavity. One thing my hygienist did mention when I first got it was I wasn’t getting high enough to my upper gums. Now I make sure I do. I also purchased one for my 15yo Son as his Pediatric Dentist said it was okay & recommended that he start early with an excellent choice in toothbrushes. For $50- the price hasn’t changed since 2019 - this is well worth getting. For multiple reasons as I feel I thoroughly cleans my teeth. Once I began using this my mouth felt clean & fresh & it does every time I use it. I also feel using an electric toothbrush has saved $ I’d be spending on dental bills. The cost always swayed me away from making the purchase but I’m glad I did. Obviously since mine still works since 2019 there’s definite genuine quality with Oral-B. The box does state it comes with a 2 year limited warranty & there is a 60 day risk free trial. The paperwork details are in the box. For all I’ve written I highly recommend this Oral-B electric toothbrush & I don’t feel you’ll be disappointed. ••I do not purchase genuine Oral-B brush heads. From the beginning I’ve purchased a generic version from Amazon which have worked perfectly. My pictures reflect how nicely it’s packaged upon its arrival.

Just switched to this Oral B brush when my Philips Sonicare kicked the bucket. This brush is much more affordable, and I can already tell it does a better job. My teeth feel much cleaner of plaque

I have always used a standard manual brush. I was skeptical of electric because it seemed like the little head only moved in short back and forth spins (instead of complete circles) making it less effective. In addition, I assumed that you could not apply any pressure, or the head would stop moving.My dentist recommended I try one to help with plaque build up that I seem to accumulate quickly on the inside of my lower front teeth. So, I bought this one (my wife has had one a few years). Some observations:- It does a very good job keeping plaque off. I actually started using this brush halfway between dentist appointments. I found that it could not remove already present plaque (at least not what I had), but that once removed by the dentist, this brush does a great job keeping it off. Much better than a manual brush. For that alone I am sold.- The small size is very good for getting around back teeth / wisdom teeth. It also gets you to focus on a tooth at a time (vs. the sawing motion across many teeth) - which actually took no more time. Overall, a session might take very slightly longer than manual, but is certainly more thorough.- You can press down pretty hard, and the brush keeps oscillating. Although, in my experience, there is no need. I tend to use less pressure than a manual brush. While the brush head is doing a short back and forth spin (vs. a total 360), that seems just as effective (perhaps more so, since you get both directions of spin very quickly on all surfaces).- The brush does a pulsing vibration after 2 minutes. You can just ignore it and keep brushing. It also does much lighter pulses every 30 seconds, to help you time your session into groups of upper front, upper back, lower front, lower back. Again, you can ignore all this and just brush at your own pace.- If two people in the same bathroom are using this type of brush, there are two good options. One, have both people use the same base, and just switch out the head (they are color coded for this reason). Or two, give each person their own unit, but keep just one charging base out. The charge need is so infrequent, that its easy to just leave one brush standing on its own, and the other on the charger; then just switch out when a charge is needed. This clears up counter space and cords.- We have purchased the generic (and less expensive) replacement heads. In our experience, they were identical to the originals in materials and make. I am sure there is a lot of quality variation, but it was not hard to find good options.- My wife and I have what appear to be identical models, except we did one black, one white to make them easy to keep separate. Mine, the white, only turns off by pressing the off button 3 times (since it cycles through modes using the on/off button). This is the only thing I really do not like. The black one turns off with one click. Perhaps it is a setting, but we can find no way to change it. So, I find myself holding the brush in my mouth (to stop splatter) while finding the button (see below), and pressing 3 times.- The on off button is a little hard to press. It is flush and shallow. I always manage to get it on and off, but sometimes it is surprisingly hard. Recently, it would not turn on, and I thought it must have lost its charge. Turns out I just had to press very firmly. This can be a challenge when turning the unit off. You tend to keep it in your mouth (to prevent splatter), and so finding and pressing the button is sometimes a little harder than you would think. I think for most people, this is just a negative to be accepted. But for people who are older, or not dexterous in the hands, I think this would actually make the brush impossible to use.Overall, I am happy with it, because it prevents plaque, end of story. If I could change one thing, it would be a single press, easy press on\off button.

Bought over six months ago to replace a Quip that died. I came back to review this because I dropped this several times and it still works like it has day 1. Still speedy, fast, it takes care of your teeth on the default setting and has a couple other settings for different situations like sensitive gums. You can't lose the charger because the charger works as a base for the brush, so it's also great to take around with you. Well worth the price of admission and I would buy this again. I can brush for about a week on a full charge at full intensity before the battery indicator starts flashing red, and when it starts flashing red you can still activate the motors but at a lower speed until you give it juice.
