Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, White

Way better than going to the dentist for a cleaning. I just got my first one and I can put to rest the idea of smoking and drinking less tea away! I think you could use this once a week and manually brush the other days and get an entire year out of one brush head. If each family member had a different brush head you could prolly use the same handle...what can I say I'm thrifty.

I've used one of these for years. After a recent cleaning visit when I had an unusual amount of stain, the hygienist suggested the battery might be weakening - and she was right! I bought a new one and am getting great cleaning again. And the three speeds are a nice improvement over my old one.You can spend a lot more for bells and whistles, but this model 1000 is everything you need for a good price - and you'll get a good lifetime of service out of it.

I have had a few previous electric toothbrushes and this one is just ok. My previous toothbrush was the Oral-B Pro 1500 which started rattling inside, and got progressively worse after just 3 years (I never dropped it). I hope this one lasts longer. Compared to the Pro 1500, this Pro 1000 doesn't seem to have as much power or maybe the battery is weaker. I know the Pro 1000 uses a nickel metal hydride battery (takes about twice as long to charge) while the Pro 1500 uses a lithium ion. I also read one review that said the motor in the Pro 1000 is not as powerful as the motor in the Pro 1500.According to the specs, the Pro 1000 has a pressure sensor that alerts you if you are using too much pressure. As with some other reviews, I sure cannot identify any such sensor in the Pro 1000. The pressure sensor in the 1500 is quite evident when you apply too much pressure.I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed with the Pro 1000, and will continue using it. And at $50, I know it is not a top of the line model. But I think it has good value for the price and gets my teeth clean. If it weren't for the good value, I would have rated it as 3 stars.

Es perfecto, funciona muy bien llega a las zonas más difíciles limpiando toda mi boca y dientes, tiene un sensor que indica si estoy presionando muy fuerte, gira hacia la derecha y también hacia la izquierda. Es genial.

The Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush delivers exceptional value with its clinically proven ability to remove up to 300% more plaque along the gumline compared to a manual toothbrush. Its CrossAction brush head features bristles angled at 16 degrees, utilizing 3D cleaning action—oscillating, rotating, and pulsating—to effectively clean teeth. The built-in pressure sensor alerts users when brushing too hard, helping to protect gums from potential damage. Additionally, the in-handle timer pulses every 30 seconds to encourage quadrant brushing, ensuring a thorough 2-minute brushing session. Compatible with various Oral-B brush heads, the Pro 1000 offers versatility to suit different oral care needs.

I've used Phillips sonicare for years, including different versions. This is better and more effective than Phillips diamond clean or any of the Phillips line of electric tb's at a fraction of the cost.Similar to a dentists brush, it has a soft hammer vibrating effect while also rotating.

Tried and true. We have used an Oral-B toothbrush for many years. It has proved reliable, durable and effective. This latest model is no exception. It also uses the same heads as the older model which means we don't wear them out as often. Highly recommended.

The Good: Seems to work well, is a good size and I like the round head (my last one was traditional shaped). Has a gum pressure sensor but I have never even triggered it, except to test it. Seems like a gimmick.The Bad:a- Battery lasts about 14 uses (7 days at 2 min each in morning and night). Meaning you have to charge once a week for normal use. If you use it 3x a day, you have to charge almost every 3rd day. My last electric brush lasted over 3 weeks. Battery on the Oral-B Pro 1000 is very small, apparently. So, if you go on a one week trip, you got to take the charger. It's made to be able to be kept on the charger all the time but we can't do that.b- Charging is verrrrry slow, takes almost 20 hours.b- While it does provide 30 second alerts, it doesn't shut off by itself.c- No case provided; not even a cover for the brush head.The Ugly: hard to hold when wet as it is slippery without a good gripper on it.Would not buy again.
