DO NOT BUY THIS TOOTHBRUSH. This toothbrush has so many features that the main one of turning ON/OFF doesn't work. Plus, seller made this product "non-returnable" so it looks like I will be dealing with the bureaucracy of a Customer Service Dept. at ORAL-B. Save your money and time - avoid this product and seller. Read more

Top of the line but stopped working entirely after 2 and a half months with 65 uses. Have used Oral B Electric toothbrushes exclusively for more than 10 years until I literally wore them out after a few years. Thought I would trust the brand and invest in the top of the line. What a mistake! Here's the kicker: it's not returnable after 2 months! Read more

First, the system also needs access to your phone camera positioned in front of your face while brushing. This is a big hassle.On top of that, the system is very inaccurate. Many times, when I was brushing my left side, the system detected it as the right side.The biggest flaw IMO is that the system does not even try to find out whether we are brushing the inner side or the outer side of a zone (e.g. upper left). Many people miss the inner sides. Read more

This Electric Toothbrush broke down today after less than 1 year. Cannot charge the battery. It has many fancy features I don't need but stopped working so easily. Oral-B must fix the reliability problem. The simpler ones we bought years ago are still working after 4 years of everyday using. Very disappointed with Oral-B this time. Read more

For years, my old Oral-B did the trick, but I could see that it was beginning to need to be charged more and more frequently and it was just a matter of time until its demise. I decided to spring for the best of the latest lot knowing that it had a lot of stuff that was unnecessary--totally unnecessary! For a while I was tempted to return it. Really, I was, and I almost feel guilty having it. Here's why:1. No, I do not need another Bluetooth thing near my head (I disabled it)2. No, I am not going to mount my phone on a mirror and use an app to watch myself brush my teeth. How much did this mount thingy add to the price? Would I actually take the chance of a catastrophe: phone-crash-drowning? (the big-mount-part remains in the box)3. No, I do not need colored lights on my toothbrush! (If you press too hard the light-ring at the top turns red. It also turns blue for Bluetooth.).4. No, I do not need a built-in PHONE charger in my toothbrush travel case!Storage:The toothbrush body has several settings and can be adjusted.It is lighter in weight than its predecessors.It has a travel case in which the brush can be charged along with your PHONE. No comment. Insert an eye-rolling emoji.It also has a base which supports the brush for charging and it sits in a ring attached to covered brush heads.OK, FOLKS: GET READY FOR MY BIG BEEFS:This annoys the hell out of me. The stand is permanently connected to the electric cord so if you want the brush and all its accoutrements to sit on your sink while it is not charging, you have to contend with a wire. My previous, old model had the option of removing the wired part from the larger holder (with brushes). There was no dealing with the cord unless you are charging the brush. I find this a most dumb design and I have been going through experimentation to have the brush accessible on my counter. I use NOTHING supplied. Just one brush-head in a plastic cylinder --a cap from something or other to keep it upright, and the brush stands alone. I don't have the room for all that stuff!Another thing that irks me about Oral-B is that in all these years of making this product and telling you to wash the brush head and the brush and separating them, they have never come up with something to protect it and YOU from the metal exposed post, which, though it is only a potential hazard (but we know kids can and do get into things and adults can have accidents) can impale you if you are in such a position and forget it is there. My solution is another plastic cap-like invention to keep that from happening.Good design is one thing. Little things count. This is an over-designed product. Several less expensive models still had Bluetooth. But "they" say Oral-B is the BEST.And there you have my curmudgeon report. Other than all my issues, (for which I reduced the rating) this is a tooth brush that works and I likeblack.Note to Oral-B: the next time you re-invent the electric toothbrush, call me. Read more

Travel charing case does not work. Will not charge my toothbrush. I purchased this item new, and everything else works fine. Contacted customer service and they won't send me a new one to replace my broken charger. Read more

I've used regular toothbrushes my entire life, but at the recommendation of my new dentist, I looked into an electric tooth brush. I asked my dentist if she had a recommendation, but she more or less said that any electric toothbrush will likely be better than a manual toothbrush, but that she personally uses a Sonicare tooth brush that's a few years old. With that in mind, down the rabbit hole if internet researching I went.I wanted something with a pressure sensor. I like to lift heavy things at the gym and have a tendency to strong arm everything, including brushing my teeth which apparently may have contributed to some gum erosion. The current top model Sonicare (DiamondClean Platinum) does not have a pressure sensor. However, the FlexCare Platinum Connected does come with a pressure sensor. Oral-B models from the 1000 up have a pressure sensor. Based on price, I elected to compare the Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected to the current top model Oral-B, Genius Pro 8000.First, I asked two friends who are dentists what they prefer. One friend strongly recommended the Sonicare FlexCare+, stating that the top of the line models are not any better. The other provided a similar recommendation to my dentist - either one will be a huge improvement over a manual brush. So slight tilt to the Sonicare at this point. Very slight because not much detail was provided as to why the Sonicare was better. Just a "trust me, get this" endorsement.Next I searched for any studies comparing rotary (Oral-B) to oscillating (Sonicare) power brush heads. I won't post links to all the scientific studies I read, but the are quite a few on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) site. The more recent ones favor rotary brush heads.Point Oral-B.Then I compared features -Pressure Sensor: Oral-B has visible and tactile feedback (flashes light and pulses motor). Sonicare only provides tactile feedback (vibrates handle).Strokes/movements per minute: Oral-B (48,800 movements/min), Sonicare (31,000 strokes/min, 62,000 movements/min)Connected App: Both have some form of app that helps you hit all areas of your mouth consistentlyBrush Heads: Oral-B has 5 available brush heads and comes with three (cross action, whitening, and sensitive brush heads), Sonicare has 5 available brush heads and comes with two (AdaptiveClean, InterCare)Battery Life: Sonicare claims up to 2 weeks, Oral-B claims up to 12 daysPoint Oral-B.I then looked up subjective factors. In particular, I was interested in comparing noise levels. I looked up videos on Youtube, and there's no question that the Sonicare has a more pleasant buzzing sound vs. the more mechanical sound of the Oral-B.Point Sonicare.I considered travel convenience since I am on the move a lot. Both come with travel cases. Oral-B is a nicer looking black case. The Oral-B is made by Braun, and the travel charger uses the same kind of plug as my Braun Series 9.Point Oral-B.Finally, cost. Oral-B is cheaper up front by about $50 including all applicable discounts and manufacturer coupons at present. The Oral-B brush heads are also cheaper.Point Oral-B.So, I bought the Oral-B. I have used the app, and while it has some annoyances, the ability to track my toothbrushing habits is cool. I am a tech nerd after all. Reminders for flossing and mouthwash are on by default, but you can disable them. A suction mount to hold your phone on your bathroom mirror is included. I also like that you can setup the app to automatically order replacement brush heads through Amazon when the one you're using at the end of its life. I found the overall noise to be more than tolerable, but there's also usually music playing in my home no matter the hour.Of course, the big question is, how well does it clean teeth? Very well apparently! My teeth were noticeably whiter after 1 week using only the standard cross action head. I will likely try the whitening head at some point in accordance with the whitening program in the app. The brush head has visible movement, in contrast with the Sonicare which has more movements, but they are smaller movements, and only linear movements.I'm very pleased with my purchase. Unless you're averse to the sound the Oral-B makes, it's handily the best brush on the market right now. Read more

It works perfectly but to be honest, u don't need to buy this model! Just go for the cheaper ones! Different modes that it has is practically useless since u would never end up using them more than twice! The Bluetooth app cannot track your teeth accurately. And let's face it do u really have the mood to bring your phone to the toilet every night and spend like five extra minutes on setting up the app? I don't! So to be honest NONE of the additional functionality provided by this model worth the money you pay! That extra brush they include that is for "whitening" it is entirely useless! Really! I wished they would have included a normal brushing head instead! The only useful thing about it is the travel case and the pressure sensor ... but even the pressure sensor does not justify paying 100$ more compared to a normal oral-b electric toothbrush. I purchased an oral B pro-1000 for my sister, and compared it with this model and let me tell you, there is NO difference lol so don't waste your money on this model! Read more

So this is my first electric tooth brush, I was convinced to buy one after my niece had her own and it helped remove the plaques from her teeth. A lot of the reviews I read said the toothbrush was great but the app it came with needed improvement.On the first days of use, I noticed instant improvement in the way it cleaned my teeth and how it reached areas, I even thought the app worked fine and said to myself what are these reviewers talking about, this app works great....I was wrong! The APP: After a week of use I started noticing the flaws on the app. It seem kind of slow to scan when brushing your teeth. I don't like that you constantly have to stay put in position in front of your phone for the app to scan your face. I would've preferred if the bluetooth function would work without having to constantly keep your face in front of your phone. The TOOTHBRUSH: Like i said earlier, the toothbrush works great, but a up and down button would've been more convienient to select brushing intensity instead of just the down button. My other concern is you need to turn on the toothbrush before selecting the different brushing options, i find this to be inconvienient because the tooth paste splashes all ove the place. It would've made more sense if you could select the option you want before turning on the toothbrush. The tooth brush engine sound is kind of loud, especially when the kids are asleep lol. Overall: I don't regret my purchase but if they implemented the things I mentionned this would've made it the perfect tooth brush for me. Read more

Couldn't use any of the additional features (which is what cost so much) without dismantling my phone. So total waste of money Read more

This toothbrush has all the bells and whistles - if you can figure them out.I was months trying to figure out how to access more than the tooth and tongue brushing options on the handle (6 options in total - 5 visible). The app had all the other modes locked and I couldn't change them. For the life of me, I could not figure out how to access the feather, the whitening, or the massage options on the handle. So last night after much more Googling and fiddling around, I downloaded the Fun Zone app and it FINALLY let me use the other brushing modes. So now I have two Oral-B apps for the same toothbrush.I bought this toothbrush for when I got braces. I tried this toothbrush just before I started my ortho treatment and found that the toothbrush is way too powerful and it felt like a vibrating drill in my mouth - it isn't pleasant at all. Now that I've figured out how to access the feather mode, it's still too powerful for me. Also, when I put toothpaste on the brush and turn the brush on before I put it in my mouth, the toothpaste vibrates off before I can even get it in my mouth. So, I have to turn the brush on while it's in my mouth and hope it's on the feather setting because I can't see the settings to change them while the brush is in my mouth.I did email Oral-B regarding my issue late last night and they got back to me early this morning. So, good on them! However, I followed their steps to fix my problem (because I don't want to two apps, let alone one) and now I can't access the feather or other modes again. Fun times.I wish I would have tried an electric toothbrush in the ~$30 range for my first electric to get a feel for them.I would not recommend this brush. Too many technical issues and not a light enough touch on my teeth and gums even though it has a pressure sensor. Read more
