"this is very noisy by comparison"

"very expensive and didn't really last long"

"don't waste your money on buying the other versions"

"all of sudden stopped working"

"does not work properly when fully charged will not function put on charger for 2 seconds then it works"

"first battery charge lasted as advertised"

"now the pansies and blooming the humingbirds floating to suckle on the honey of her mouth orchids as the sunshine of minty freshness explodes from whence there once was decay and a stench of deathly armadillo pancakes"

"pity also that braun don't produce a replacement brush that fits their previous charger which will need to go to electrical waste : "

"edit: i have received a third one from amazon and out of the box it won't take a charge : this is pretty pathetic now"

"bought as a replacement for my old oral b trizone 5000 on which the battery life had started dropping away after 4 years of use"

"don’t buy this product i think it could be a fire hazard if the motor can run even in the off position"

"pointless purchase"

"there must be a common fault with them as having 3 with the same fault is way more than a coincidence"

"it is more noisy with more vibration than my philips and even trying a couple of different head designs it did not clean as effectively this i proved by the use of disclosing tablets on both makes of brush"

"the connector to the head gets some water inside and got a rusty color on the top after just a few months"

"18 i sent a message: 'please advise re return for faulty product just stopped mid use and product completely dead"

"however this range has always had one annoying feature"

"i was a little hesitant when ordering due to seeing some bad reviews but from what i have experienced so far it's working great for me the battery life doesn't seem and issue for me and it is a nice shape to hold the only thing which confuses me slightly is the timer function seems to buzz every now and then probably down to me not reading the manual"

"but it's really minor issues"

"you will wake the whole house up even my neighbors have complained about the loud buzzing"

"i guess i need to throw away all manual toothbrushes from my bathroom cabinet!"

"the head also does not close very well on the body and at the base it will tend to accumulate some dried toothpaste"

"this was not an improvement on my old brush the deep clean mode was nothing short of a violent assault in my mouth"

"you get a slight break in the brushing every 30 seconds so you can ensure each "quadrant" of your mouth gets thoroughly cleaned"

"i suggest storing it without the head on it to prevent the shaft going rusty as that is what happen to my previous one "

"the 30 second intervals are hands to remind you when to change quadrants"

"don't think your other half will stay asleep"

"just a shame it wakes the world and impossible to use if i go to bed late after others"

"i was looking for something new for a long time i had an oral b brush that was nearing 3 years old that burned out probably dead battery"

"cons: i find the timer function a bit hard to judge given that the device is constantly vibrating in use and feel a light or audible sound would be better"

"i can't say if this is a problem with the toothbrush or the model all i can say is it breaks down after 5 or so days"

"it's the same model of 2500n so pick whatever is cheaper unless you like only one of the 2 colors"

"my other half has the smell of the mouth of a dead colonel from the confederate forces 3 weeks gone"

"had to charge after 6 days and the pressure control only works with extreme pressure"

"works well when it works but i've had to return mine twice in 7 months for replacement due to battery charging problems"

"one arrived without the internal packaging so it was just rattling around and didn't have a spare brush head as it promised"

"it has made my teeth much whiter and visibly removed plaque from the hard to reach areas"

"unfortunately the pressure sensor does not work and the red light at the back of the toothbrush does not light up"

"i have returned it and ordered a replacement battery for my very old triumph 9000 which feels much higher quality than this product"

"i was a little hesitant when ordering due to seeing some bad reviews but from what i have experienced so far it's working great for me the battery life doesn't seem and issue for me and it is a nice shape to hold the only thing which confuses me slightly is the timer function seems to buzz every now and then probably down to me not reading the manual"

"the 30 seconds pulses are great & remind me to move on to the next section of my mouth"

"just a shame it wakes the world and impossible to use if i go to bed late after others"

"however i learned instead of the using the 2 minute timer 30 seconds each side on bottom and top that it is better to do a minute on each side bottom and top and do it for four months"

"not sure if it's just that we've received a faulty item but you really do have to press incredibly hard to activate the pressure sensor"

"everything you need: 30 second timer so you know when to move on to next quarter of your mouth and pressure sensitive light for when you're pressing too hard"

"bought this for my husband in december and we've have so many charging issues"

"i'm just annoyed i didn't think to buy one of these sooner"

"it's not how i expect it to work when it does work it's great but i still have to carry around my charger when i travel on short trips"

"i’m feeling unlucky twice over but not daft enough to buy another from this seller"

"i'm not sure if this pro 3000 model is much different from the pro 2000 other than providing an additional 'sensitive' brush head which you could buy separately "

"dislike: the new battery doesn't last as long as my previous models did which had an uprated replacement battery"

"left it on the shelf then until the following evening but the battery was completely flat!"

"got this black friday week on a deal for under £30 so i deem i did pretty well as i did check elsewhere"

"no way on amazon that i can see for sending it back but surely should last longer than this?"

"plastic case poor quality small fiddly will take time to remove & add brush each time"

"there is a pressure control"

"this worked past tense great then after only 5 months it just died on me started up on its own and now wont charge and i am unable to return it for replacement i was better of buying the cheap £5 electric toothbrushes they lasted as long"

"i now have the rather expensive brushes which cant be used unless i buy another version of this useless gadget"

"unfortunately no instructions in the box and somewhat confusing as to when to stop brushing as it doesnt stop and keeps going!"

"it came with 2 heads and a basic but functional stand and holder"

"poor service and poor product"

"rechargeable toothbrush but the first with such awful battery life"

"5 weeks after purchase brush felt less powerful and unable to keep charge"

"i've checked to see if there's a refund option through amazon but it seems there isn't which is also really bad"

"after doing some research i kept getting pushed towards sonicare more specifically phillips diamond care"

"i had some light bleeding from my gums when i went i dentist & she recommended an electric toothbrush"

"having said that the difference in price wan't massive when i bought"

"this is a noticeably inferior product battery life on this new brush is actually worse than on my old brush i only managed 4 days brushing off the first full charge"

"i thought it had a timer but apparently not"

"toothbrush isn’t over complicated"

"all my previous electric toothbrushes have had rectangular heads and made me gag when brushing back teeth the small head on this is far better for me"

"poor service and poor product"

"only difference is this one comes with an extra brush head and a flimsy plastic travel case – made in china so comes with poor quality control as standard"

"it is more noisy with more vibration than my philips and even trying a couple of different head designs it did not clean as effectively this i proved by the use of disclosing tablets on both makes of brush"

"the 2 min timer in 30 second intervals is great as is the flashing if you press on too hard"

"i thought i would help reduce the rancid smell of death while reducing her workload in maintaining this rancour of defeat"

"this is where i stumbled across the oral b 3000 a toothbrush that has the same cleaning power as the £100+ models just with less features"

"the additional 2 brushing modes also are handy although not used daily "

"also it sounds like a road drill in your mouth when in use i wouldn't recommend it"

"great bargain in sale teeth feel so much cleaner like the red light warning you when you are putting too much pressure on your teeth and gums"

"charges up but then completely loses it"

"can't go wrong for the price beats the standard supermarket prices hands down and comes with the hard shell case for travelling"

"from product reviews it would appear that like other customers my battery does not hold a charge either"

"unfortunately the pressure sensor does not work and the red light at the back of the toothbrush does not light up"

"did not charge sent back"

"really dissaponting after 6 months it will not charge anymore"

"piece of junk doesn’t hold a charge have to charge it each time i want to use it"

"i could feel all the excess food being removed from the cracks of my teeth"

"charger is not uk type"

"the buzzing timer feature is nice but when i got mine it said "audible timer" which is a bit of a stretch for something that's just starting and stopping the brush really quick in a short period of time"

"piece of junk doesn’t hold a charge have to charge it each time i want to use it"

"had bought the pro 2000 but it wouldn't hold its charge got my money back and got this one and touch wood seems to be behaving itself"

"why did i wait so long to replace my broken one?"

"cheap nasty and useless"

"i bought this brush when my former died but have never been happy with it"

"i purchased this toothbrush at the beginning of august and the battery is already dead and will not charge"

"why did i wait so long to replace my broken one?"

"it does not hold its charge the length of time my old toothbrush did"

"bought this as an upgrade from an old spiderman branded oral b toothbrush"

"no wonder my gums have been bleeding in the past i have been brushing far too hard for years and now it's fine"

"bought for husband but as expected he is back on a £2 brush from sainsbury’s as he never charges it!"

"i was advised by my dentist to get an oral b electric toothbrush"

"really nice toothbrush the battery it last for long time and it brush vary well the only “problem” is that it comes with the european plug so an adaptor is needed"

"what i really don't like is the charger short cord and the uk bathroom plug is it so expensive to provide an usb charger option?"

"oral b a major retailer in this product really need to sort this out"

"bought as a christmas present battery failed to charge in less than 3 weeks amazon replaced our faulty oral b pro 3 3000 with an identical one with little fuss"

"i can't charge it at night as it has an annoying flashing light which is bright enough that i sometimes think i live near a lighthouse!"

"gift so not used"

"i previously had a braun sonic toothbrush and that was very poor at cleaning my teeth"

"my routine dental check up's now pass with positive comments from the dentist"

"i might have fewer crowns and have avoided some root canal treatments"

"delivered swiftly by amazon and well packaged as always "

"if i had paid full price for this i would have felt really cheated"

"after almost paying nearly £100 to get what i thought was top of the range toothbrush i did some research and found out that the 3000 has the same oscillations as the more expensive 5000 and 6000"

"would not recommend and would certainly not buy again"

"so i had to send an email introducing our little country to which i got an automated reply saying they would probably reply in 3 5 days but that it would be equally possible that the email would get lost or words to that effect to get a new one i have to wait for them to recieve the returned one before they send out the refund or replacement so i will be going elsewhere"

"i purchased the whitening brush head separately has a funny little rubber cup in its center that is a little funny to get used to"

"within 3 weeks the bleeding has stopped"

"bought to replace an existing braun electric tooth brush a higher spec model probably = 5000 where the battery had nearly died "

"i previously had a braun sonic toothbrush and that was very poor at cleaning my teeth"

"battery life is extremely poor"

"too late to return item so very disappointed considering the price and brand"

"the negative the battery life is pretty poor"

"my only issue is the device is big and not ideal for a child’s hands but otherwise i can’t fault this item which i highly recommend"

"thought this newer better more expensive version would be a brilliant buy but so far its good but not worth the money"

"i can't comment on performance as i returned mine because the round brush head felt too bulky in my mouth i also thought it was very noisy compared to others i've used and initially thought i had received a faulty unit but a quick google search disproved that they all sound the same apparentlty"

"but not very well made as now not working so could be very expensive cost per use"

"the only drawback i have found is that it needs relatively frequent charging but that is a minor issue relative to how excellent it is"

"when it works it is good but i see from other reviews that other customers have had the same problem"

"this one that i have bought from amazon isn't much better than the one i have replaced battery is only lasting for 2 days and wont charge up fully no matter how long you leave it on charge"

"it's a definite upgrade to my old and very basic oral b toothbrush the 3d action the first time i used it made me think i was going to brush my teeth clean off my face but it did a great job and i'm accustomed to it now"

"buy a cheaper model and don't waste your money on this"

"my old oral b just stopped working"

"when you press too hard it lights up red"

"avoid at all costs"

"i've paired it with the app on my phone and that gives me more details if i use it when brushing like for how long i've brushed with too much pressure and getting prompted to brush tongue"

"after the first brush the brush will over the course of about 3 cleans gradually lose power at a steady and noticeable rate whilst brushing"

"then i noticed a drop in battery performance: i had to leave it on charge for 24 hours that got me about four 2 minute brushes at a push"

"i have used it for a couple of months when all of a sudden it decided that it had not spent the night charging but was completely dead"

"difficult to change settings which is very annoying you have to press a button close to the power button which often you turn it off or try to turn it off and press the cycle mode button arrgh!"

"did not see the point in installing the app so can't comment on that"

"here are all the problems she encountered: performance dropped substantially after every charge and even when fully charged it would deteriorate in speed and length of use"

"battery life is ok but could be better"

"oral b is much better at marketing but this brush is a waste of money"

"up until last week the brush worked flawlessly before breaking randomly overnight it wouldn't turn on so i thought the battery was dead but after placing it on the charging pad it wouldn't charge and the bluetooth lights would just flash i ended up having to get a replacement sent out to me and amazon deserve a big thank you as after sending the first email to them with a video i had a response in 10mins with a message saying they had already dispatched me another great customer service from amazon"

"also the battery charge even on a new brush does not last as long as they claim"

"its beyond dreadful and really frustrating"

"the only disadvantage is that it really takes forever to charge and discharges too fast"

"the app other than being a monitoring service for how many times you've brushed your teeth this week feels pointless"

"i am now at the point where soon i will need to replace that brush head and the others are basically untouched"

"i bought this in the sale at £54 it was a no brainier for me to purchase at such a good price and i haven’t been disappointed"

"the extra connectivity timer and brush modes which add to the price are simply unnecessary"

"other 3 modes is quite useless as well"

"the toothbrush itself works well enough but the plethora of different heads is probably a pointless and confusing gimmick and perhaps the difference in performance between them is minimal and bare contributes to the claimed different 'focus' goals"

"feels extremely cheap and poorly made in the hand"

"and of course everybody will know that you are brushing your teeth because its really noisy"

"would have saved me wasting money on a poor alternative"

"this was a great waste of money: i used it for three months or so over which time i had horrible stain and tartar build up and my teeth looked awful"

"has tech gadgets with this which worthless to be honest"

"i feel i wasted money"

"feels extremely cheap and poorly made in the hand"

"admittedly the battery eventually wears down and that happens with anything batty powered but usually get at least 2 years quality use"

"the holes on the side of the brush leaks and makes for a very messy affair"

"it is significantly worse"

"cheap load of rubbish backed up by 1000s of adverts on tv and fake dentists making out its brilliant"

"would have saved me wasting money on a poor alternative"

"i used to press down hard with my old electric toothbrush and i'd even feel it slowing down as i did that but not with this device!"

"i occasionally flit back to a conventional toothbrush and the difference is ever so noticeable"

"when using it beeps and the motor pulses every so often"

"the only disadvantage is that it really takes forever to charge and discharges too fast"

"however and this is why only 3 stars battery life is very poor and even worse is the time it takes to recharge it"

"i have a partial upper plate that i need to clean plus a crown so i guess i just have to take time over my teeth and gums"

"great toothbrush charge time still ridiculous though"

"and the most important thing health i used to go to the dentist hygenist to remove "scale" or "stones" not sure of the correct word every 3 months"

"however the main issue is the battery life"

"please don't look at the rrp price of this brush it is very misleading !"

"from the first oral b brush to this much more current model they seem to have made little progress with battery technology"

"i find both the small smartguide and the oral b app are pretty useless"

"also the metal part the individual toothbrush slots over has gone rusty see pictures i've had a few electric toothbrushes my last one a philips sonicare"

"this is the most expensive disposable toothbrush mankind has ever seen"

"this obviously varies according to usage but does seem rather inconvenient at times"

"cheap load of rubbish backed up by 1000s of adverts on tv and fake dentists making out its brilliant"

"besides the novelty of being able to see your brushing habits which are pretty much the same everyday anyway soon wears off"

"the toothbrush operation itself is really easy and i can honestly my teeth haven't felt and looked so clean ever!"

"never had a major problem with charging but i do feel the slight reduced power after a couple days without a good charge"

"don’t waste money for something that is not usefull"

"i find i take longer than 2 minutes to finish brushing but put this down to having several awkward corners to negotiate!"

"i wish it had some curves for an easier grip as its bottom heavy and does slip through my hand a little bit!"

"on touch the base is less premium as it's a mix of both rubber and gloss plastic"

"apart from the battery life and all the other unnecessary gimmicks that come with the brush it does a pretty decent job of cleaning if only for the first brush after a 24 hour charge which still hasn't charged the battery to full capacity"

"thought i was getting a great deal when i bought this in the black friday deals but regret buying it"

"this toothbrush was a replacement for a very long lived previous one and is slightly bulkier but i guess it has a longer lasting battery and the blue tooth wireless stuff as well as more programs so maybe not a problem"

"the brush’s ability to communicate with the phone app is very haphazard the brush “sync” mode switches off before the brush has synched with the phone so you’ll have to keep pressing the “mode” button until it sync’s"

"i had no problems with this until around the beginning of december 2019 i purchased in august i noticed that i would be brishing my teeth and rather than the 1 light flashing warning i was used to seeing the toothbrush would just stop working and the 3 lights would go orange and it would stop working"

"shameful in this day and age to create such unnecessary waste"

"the biggest problem is that the 40 minutes of use that it promises you requires 24 hours of charging time!"

"he hasn't used the other little gadget that's comes with it"

"the biggest negative however is the time it takes to fully charge approx 36 hours and the length of time the charge holds before needing to be recharged approx 5 days "

"other than my device going faulty i cannot recommend the device more the only thing i would recommend is perhaps go for the none bluetooth version which is cheaper as i don't actually use it more than once or twice a month unless you can get this one for a good deal i paid £79 for mine back in august "

"maybe i'm just too forgetful"

"being made of cheap flimsy plastic is not exactly what i would regard as a proper decent match for a premium product"

"the cleaning is very harsh gum bleeding and extra sensitivity teeth guarantee with this thing and why the phone app use your phone in the bathroom am i the only person who can see the idiotic purpose of the implementation"

"wouldn’t pay the full rrp but while on offer it’s a great deal i treated myself with christmas vouchers and very happy i did so far"

"the brush speed is slow and the force is weak and so a brush takes forever and the toothpaste starts to drip down my hand and the big handle making it all slippery"

"package wasn't damaged just a screen means someone did put it in knowing it was broken"

"it arrived as expected and well packed knowing it was not previously used or refurbished"

"don’t waste money for something that is not usefull"

"the brush speed is slow and the force is weak and so a brush takes forever and the toothpaste starts to drip down my hand and the big handle making it all slippery"

"you can easily turn the bluetooth off on your oral b smart series 6000 6500 by following the simple steps below: a please press the on off button and the mode button simultaneously for 3 seconds to disable the interfaces completely make sure it is 3 seconds "

"and whilst the included timer has never lost its link to the toothbrush i found the connectivity to my phone or my tablet was not that reliable"

"not only my teeth are whiter but also my gums do not bleed so much anymore"

"tips: here’re a few tips you may find useful: 1 you can keep your toothbrush clean from any toothpaste residue at all times by simply removing washing drying the brush head and the toothbrush’s top metal head reassemble and place toothbrush horizontally see pic rather than vertically up right "

"my only issue is the device is big and not ideal for a child’s hands but otherwise i can’t fault this item which i highly recommend"

"however disappointed that they are still manufactured with the rubber type panel running down the front of the toothbrush no doubt for better grip as from our experience with all previous oral b toothbrushes the rubber eventually stretches and splits and becomes very unsightly"

"i've purchased this particular oral b electric toothbrush for my missus after her previous failed to work"

"the holes on the side of the brush leaks and makes for a very messy affair"

"this toothbrush comes with a lot of gadgets and whilst there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the product this "smartseries" toothbrush is just not worth the price"

"i would have given this a 5 star review but after a year it’s broken"

"like it says in the manual i had some bleeding for a few days but that's all"

"9 months in and this no longer holds power correctly despite being on constant charge it is underpowered and doesn’t last more then one & a half brushes"

"i wasn't sold on the so called smart features but on the basis of being able to use a toothbrush device that i can setup and use for my teeth with out the worries of brushing hard and causing myself infections but alas this is worse"

"it came with a 2 pin plug and no adaptor for uk sockets"

"this oral b just doesn't compare at all: it's slow incredibly noisy and doesn't clean anything like as well as the philips"

"abysmal battery life"

"the app and the smiley face timer thing are super unnecessary in my opinion"

"i haven't been able to work out how to use the smart guide and app regarding logging your flossing and rinsing"

"the brush speed is slow and the force is weak and so a brush takes forever and the toothpaste starts to drip down my hand and the big handle making it all slippery"

"the first one i bought from boots and has lasted 4 years until the battery had to be charged every time it was used"

"overly chunky and bulky"

"would not buy a toothbrush with bluetooth again as the added benefits are somewhat wasted in a toothbrush"

"the only reason i have replaced my old oral b triumph toothbrush is because the rubber has become discoloured and peeled off from the back"

"too late to return item so very disappointed considering the price and brand"

"the bluetooth timer was an unwanted extra that i never envisioned using it would have been nice to permanently switch it off on the toothbrush or at least default to offer rather than on"

"i’d suggest don’t bother with the bluetooth version i think it drains the battery"

"don't listen to the negative people complaining about the battery"

"my husband bought this and we are appalled at the packaging and amount of useless plastic bits that come with this toothbrush"

"it keeps missing days of brushed activity when i try to sync with my phone it sync some days but skip some"

"ours must have been slowly declining as i can really tell the difference and my teeth feel so much cleaner"

"the proprietary charger which still in this day and age needs a shaver socket or adapter is a pain"

"so much waste"

"there are other modes including deep clean polish tongue and gums"

"but would not buy it again"

"on touch the base is less premium as it's a mix of both rubber and gloss plastic"

"as soon as it drops to 2 or less bars you do notice a decrease in power therefore it's not brushing as effectively"

"the timer is too short and you can't switch it off"

"i wasn't sold on the so called smart features but on the basis of being able to use a toothbrush device that i can setup and use for my teeth with out the worries of brushing hard and causing myself infections but alas this is worse"

"takes about 24hrs to charge from near empty"

"the product is great however after buying this i think we might not need this expensive one"

"i just gave up and bought another sonicare and started to see results within a week"

"this brush is noisy also with a very poor battery life"

"i find both the small smartguide and the oral b app are pretty useless"

"all the different cleaning heads bluetooth connection with app small brushing monitor a travel case and of course the charging docking station all of it only at the start "

"the bluetooth connectivity is powerful your phone can be 10 feet away from the toothbrush which is maybe why the battery does not last long?"

"this one that i have bought from amazon isn't much better than the one i have replaced battery is only lasting for 2 days and wont charge up fully no matter how long you leave it on charge"

"it will not re charge"

"pausing after each quadrant of the month have disappeared"

"i have had this for about 4 months now and although the toothbrush is excellent the stated 10 day charge time is a joke i only get 6 days after a full 24 hour charge i am the sole user brushing twice a day !"

"in my opinion save your money and get a cheaper oral b without the pointless bluetooth and app"

"there are no excuses and you will not lack accessories for your dreams they look fulfilled with good breath"

"i hope that this one lasts a little longer than a couple of years as they aren't cheap and as far as i can see they are not recyclable"

"i can't comment on performance as i returned mine because the round brush head felt too bulky in my mouth i also thought it was very noisy compared to others i've used and initially thought i had received a faulty unit but a quick google search disproved that they all sound the same apparentlty"

"pressing down hard feels like i would hurt my teeth!"

"there are 2 people using the toothbrush so it is not having excessive use and does not equate with manufacturer's claim that the charge lasts 14 days"

"if you are like me and you are ready to pay more just to get the app and bluethoot just don’t!"

"i’m hoping i will be able to get a replacement under warranty"

"this isn't an issue for me personally because i don't think i'll use it but the instructions do not instruct on this"

"they can't be wrong can they?"

"i'm probs not using it correctly as there are lots of bits and i haven't checked everything out yet but i'm really pleased with it and am a total convert to electric toothbrush now as used others in the past but wasn't impressed and went back to manual"

"not enough time in the day"

"combining this brush with the crossaction head and an orabrush tongue cleaner has given my mouth an overall feeling of cleanliness that i've never previously experienced"

"this was a great waste of money: i used it for three months or so over which time i had horrible stain and tartar build up and my teeth looked awful"

"this one doesn’t do that"

"pressing down hard feels like i would hurt my teeth!"

"the battery lasts a long time but equally takes a very long time to recharge"

"this oral b just doesn't compare at all: it's slow incredibly noisy and doesn't clean anything like as well as the philips"

"if it wasn't black friday i would have just gone for the normal basic version and been equally happy as all the accessories just sit in a drawer and i have no desire to talk to my toothbrush via bluetooth!"

"in conclusion i feel slightly cheated as it is surely the brush head that cleans the teeth so a cheaper model would be just as good and to add insult to injury the day after i received and unpacked my 6000 amazon reduced the price"

"i can't comment on performance as i returned mine because the round brush head felt too bulky in my mouth i also thought it was very noisy compared to others i've used and initially thought i had received a faulty unit but a quick google search disproved that they all sound the same apparentlty"

"the battery life is very disappointing"

"a negative but not enough to downgrade it is that the charging cable is fixed to the base and is not long enough to reach the socket above the bathroom mirror"

"there's a leaflet provided which shows which head does what but for some reason i just can't remember!"

"the bad the only bad thing that might be related with my phone but should be dealt by the app is disconnections which result in the app thinks i stopped brushing while i actaully still am 2 options for oral b could be a"

"please can the manufacturer contact me or i will be forced to make a complaint to amazon directly"

"i have bought an expensive toothbrush that i can no longer use"

"i'm pretty disappointed to be honest"

"bluetooth would cut off with the app and small monitor on a constant basis"

"the toothbrush has been replaced with something different the one i had was black this is white and it is not the same one "

"the bluetooth connectivity and separate clock with indicator are novel but not essential neither is the smartphone app"

"thought this newer better more expensive version would be a brilliant buy but so far its good but not worth the money"

"also when the battery dies mid brush you have lost that day of brushing : other than that great brush i like the smart guide which is actually better than the bluetooth"

"too much technology for such a simple operation"

"wish i had paid more and replaced with the model we had"

"the brush wont connect so completely useless"

"the brush speed is slow and the force is weak and so a brush takes forever and the toothpaste starts to drip down my hand and the big handle making it all slippery"

"however it does not avoid the massive manual in so many languages it is mind boggling all for a few pages of english"

"also all of the other bells and whistles are nice but not needed"

"the brush’s ability to communicate with the phone app is very haphazard the brush “sync” mode switches off before the brush has synched with the phone so you’ll have to keep pressing the “mode” button until it sync’s"

"but i always had an irregular brushing program"

"do not use the app on phone think it is a waste of time"

"if you want an electric toothbrush just stick to the cheap basic version you won't miss a thing"

"maybe it’s a one off as our previous version which was much like was fine for years until the battery went but this is already on its way out"

"also the battery charge even on a new brush does not last as long as they claim"

"i never used the app either"

"this is my second braun oral b pro 6000 electric toothbrush as the previous one was left missing during a holiday"

"it now charges in a spare room away from all sky boxes!"

"i no longer struggle with sensitive teeth and i am really happy i was able to change my ways and give this a try"

"i've always brushed for 2 minutes in the past but i had no particular routine"

"it has the same functionality so there was no great learning curve and most of the time it's a simple of case of applying toothpaste and pressing the 'go' button making sure the head of the toothbrush is in your mouth unless you want to redecorate your bathroom"

"i can't comment on performance as i returned mine because the round brush head felt too bulky in my mouth i also thought it was very noisy compared to others i've used and initially thought i had received a faulty unit but a quick google search disproved that they all sound the same apparentlty"

"this was a great waste of money: i used it for three months or so over which time i had horrible stain and tartar build up and my teeth looked awful"

"my partner has the 9000 model but when i borrow it i find the on off switch to be in a really difficult place so i was glad to find this older model at an absolute bargain price on black friday"

"you’ll end up keeping it on deep clean and never checking the app"

"our previous toothbrush which was the model down from this one started being glitchy after about 2"

"haven't had one before"
