Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, Black

I’m very happy with this toothbrush. From the very first use, my teeth felt much cleaner than with a manual toothbrush. The vibration is gentle but effective, and it helps me reach all areas easily.The battery lasts a long time, it’s comfortable to use, and easy to clean. Plus, it gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m taking better care of my gums.It’s definitely a great investment for at-home dental care. I highly recommend it!

So happy that I purchased this. I never believed in electronic toothbrushes and felt they were just fancy purchases but honestly, my teeth have never felt cleaner. I went back to normal toothbrushes for a week and it was not the same. I will continue on purchasing for sure! The settings on this toothbrush are quite nice, in case you do not wish to brush so intensely, there's a lower setting for that which helped initially as I was not used to the harshness.

Wayyyy better than the non rotating ones. I had no idea what I was missing.First of all the pressure sensor helps a lot. I had no idea how ha d Tok hard was. Now I do.Second, you can brush your teeth a bit faster with this. You kind of do one tooth at a time, getting front and flip to the back. You can do it in 2mins not 3. It gets into the spaces between teeth really well and it just feels like it's flooding a better job.It's also quieter than my sonicaire. The downside is the replacement heads seem a little pricy. And the generics aren't cross action (idk whether that really matters but I would say that having the head not be flush and having pointier tips helps get in-between teeth).With the spinning approach, I definitely get more in-between on the front of my teeth, because the other kind doesn't really get in there when you're flat against the front, you have to use it at an angle and for those teeth that are bigger than the length of that brush you're really not getting everything toward the gum. Angling it where the tip digs in is more of a challenge, it's hard to describe but it's just less awkward with this thing (you don't have to keep the handle sideways either so you just have more dexterity and control)Anyway I'm glad I tried this out. It's also a smaller charging base and overall smaller unit and has a LiIo battery unlike my older sonicaire so it's easier to take on the road (without a charger). Only thing it's really missing is a brush cover like my other brush had.

I've watched so many reviews of electric toothbrushes and read a number of head-to-head comparisons. And frankly, it's a bit disgusting how saturated is the electric toothbrush market. Even within a given brand like Braun! Folks, brushing your teeth is NOT a complex task. I really do not understand why people are falling for these super expensive feature laden electric toothbrushes. Bluetooth? Seriously? Who keeps track of their brushing statistics?There's really only 4 things you need: 1) fast motor, 2) timer, 3) multiple settings, 4) good charging.* A fast oscillating motor is important for thorough cleaning.* A timer helps you keep track of progress* High, medium, and low settings are good depending upon the level of cleaning required* Reasonable number of uses per charge, and reasonably fast chargingThere's no question, the motor on this Pro 1000 is fast enough. I can't see needing faster.The timer is fixed at 30 seconds. And this is good, because you divide your upper and lower teeth into 2 sections, that's 4 x 30 seconds = 2 minutes. So I do 1 quadrant for 30 seconds, the toothbrush vibrates 2 times, I switch to the next quadrant. At the end of the 4th quadrant, the toothbrush vibrates 4 times. Simple. You know you're done. No beeping or LED indicator necessary.While there are 3 settings, I tend to use the deep cleaning one most of the time. The Pro 1000 has deep, gentle, and oscillating clean modes. When you first turn it on you begin with deep. That's good for me, as I only have to press once. To get to the other modes, you press another time. And unfortunately, there's no visual indication of what mode you are in. If you change modes, the timer resets.There does seem to be a reasonable number of uses per charge, however... the time to recharge? AWFUL! It takes a full 24 hours to fully charge. This is... extremely annoying. As a result, I have a backup toothbrush I use while this one is charging. My backup? it's a $8 battery powered Oral-B, which is actually a very decent toothbrush on its own. Now, you might ask... why don't I just leave it on the charger? Because that's a bad habit which causes battery life to diminish faster. Probably the best practice is to leave the toothbrush on the charger base most of the time, then once a month have a reminder to take the toothbrush off the charger and just use it until the low battery indicator appears. For a modern day rechargeable battery device like this? Charging shouldn't take more than 8 hours. I guess the problem is that there's not a lithium ion battery inside, for safety.Lastly, the pressure sensor that lets you know you're pressing too hard? It's very difficult to trigger it! Useless. Well, most people should already have a good practice on pressure as it is. I don't see it as a necessary feature. So, no points off for that.Lately I've noticed the price is $49.95. That's a bit high. I paid $29.99 when it was on sale. I think it comes up 2 or 3 times a year. At $30? It's a very good deal._________________________________________________________________________________TL;DR ?When it's on sale for $30? Buy it! It's a very good value. The only real negative ding is the painfully long time to recharge. 24 hours is just too much, for what I consider acceptable. But you could leave it on the charger most of the time, then once a month let it run down. You have about 3 brushing sessions once the low battery light comes on.
