"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"when you press too hard it lights up red"

"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"

"avoid at all costs"

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

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

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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"

"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!"

"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"

"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"

"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"

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

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

"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"

"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"

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

"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"

"i don't usually spend this much on a toothbrush so i was hoping it would be for long term use but i'm very disappointed"

"overall product rating is for its extremely poor battery life!"

"please change the title of the product as this is very misleading"

"don’t waste your money on any of these brushes"

"this toothbrush is a good compromise between the cheap range and the more expensive ones"

"i bought the first one for christmas at a special price and have to return it a day later as it was very noisy and unpleasant to brush my teeth even on the second position for sensitive teeth"

"only complain is that it seems to go suddenly rather than noticeably slowing down for a while beforehand but since it also charges quickly not really a problem"

"battery life is pretty poor though especially compared to other brands i have phillips sonicare and fairywill not sure if i have just been unlucky to get a dud one of these or if they are all the same"

"package was already ripped open with the toothbrush that was used was sticky and toothpaste residue resided on it"

"i've taken a star off for each of these issues maybe i've a poorly made one but it should do what it says in the listing"

"however: within two months it stopped working"

"it also slows down and flashes light if too much pressure is applied to brush"

"unfortunately though as soon as i started to use it i noticed that it was really noisy and the brush head was making a loud rattling noise"

"i’ve noticed from the reviews that other toothbrushes bought around the same time have exactly the same problem"

"i just found that pointless a bit strange and will look to buy a model without it"

"i really dislike when amazon allows misleading and fraudulent statements like these that induce us consumers to buy yet the reality does not correspond to description!"

"poor quality"

"i discovered when using non oral b replacement heads on my old oral b how quickly that gap fills up it meant stopping and cleaning things often or the toothpaste water saliva mixture will gum up under there and create a sort of disgusting scaling inside that's difficult to clean"

"a big brand doesn't always mean better this is an example of it with a battery life which only lasts two or three days a case which is cheap and not fit for purpose and the fact the toothbrush also doesn't easily change between the regular and sensitive function which other toothbrushes do for example when turning on or off you have to flick through which is frustrating annoying and wastes time"

"a big brand doesn't always mean better this is an example of it with a battery life which only lasts two or three days a case which is cheap and not fit for purpose and the fact the toothbrush also doesn't easily change between the regular and sensitive function which other toothbrushes do for example when turning on or off you have to flick through which is frustrating annoying and wastes time"

"very dissapointed have tried different sockets chargers and adapter"

"it only comes with one brush head so no replacements and the plug is some garbage for shaver outlets"

"this is unacceptable even a drug store brand of electric tooth brushes have a charge life of 2 3 weeks my previous oral b basic model used to last for 2 weeks minimum "

"predicting that i'll end up needing to charge it daily a few months down the line which is unacceptable which means i'm going to need to replace it"

"and i no longer get food stuck in my tooth"

"dreadful quality"

"downside: sounds awfully loud!"

"very ashamed !"

"no rhyme or reason as to why it works sometimes but not others very frustrating but now living in another country so warranty isn't easy to work out"

"it's only 7 months old and i am extremely unhappy"

"i needed a replacement for my old braun toothbrush that lasted years before the battery died"

"it has stopped holding charge and is totally unusable"

"nice 30 seconds and two minute timers"

"the only negative point that i found so far is the charger that works only with 220~240v disappointing for a product that is ment to go with you wherever you go"

"another important thing i noticed after the upgrade was that the previous toothbrush with the degraded battery was noticably slower so that's another reason to upgrade if you already own an older one"

"that noisy head because the arms aren’t strong enough and they break"

"braun should have stuck with the old nimh or nicd technology as at least if the battery was getting flat you could carry on at a slower pace whereas this model just gives up and refuses to go even at a slower pace"

"i read the negative reviews and came to conclusion that if the battery fails it's because someone in the household has knocked the brush over onto a hard floor a hard knock can easily damage a battery "

"i feel ripped off"

"i bought two in april and one died in august dead isn't quite the description zombie would be a better description as it won't come on when the button is pressed but will come on randomly day and night"

"this product is absolute rubbish"

"so why would i keep a new one with the same design flaw?"

"it has a timed "pulse" in one minute intervals so you know you're brushing for at least the recommended two minutes"

"nothing fancy and it does what its supposed to do i guess"

"so i bought this one slightly worried that the battery life may not be good as per reviews"

"beware older versions have an inferior battery so make sure you get the pro2 version with a good lithium battery"

"another important thing i noticed after the upgrade was that the previous toothbrush with the degraded battery was noticably slower so that's another reason to upgrade if you already own an older one"

"so more expensive models which just add extra modes are questionable investments"

"not long after buying it lost its new power and the vibrating head ended up being as slow as my old toothbrush which i replaced it for"

"i bought this in december 2017 it has now had to be replaced for the second time both times it was the same issue the tooth brush would not charge"

"i tried a different charger but that didnt work"

"the toothbrush was good when it worked but after 8 months the battery has completely died and it no longer works"

"i’ve had the same one for about 7 years and it just keeps going apart from changing the brush heads the travel case is useful"

"battery died completely"

"braun should have stuck with the old nimh or nicd technology as at least if the battery was getting flat you could carry on at a slower pace whereas this model just gives up and refuses to go even at a slower pace"

"i bought this product as my dentist recommended it as one of two i could use for my dental issues the other product was the £120 version"

"sent off to be fixed and they replaced"

"the item is totally rubbish and not fit for purpose!"

"definately a great product that removes unwanted plaque effectively"

"my question is whether there is a point to buy an overpriced gadget when at the end of the day we have to floss and rely on inter dental brushes"

"major bonus is that it doesn't come with the rather annoying folk from the adverts"

"we only bought this on the 17th march this year and it now hardly works"

"the sensitivity mode can come in handy if you feel the normal speed is a bit too much and is causing irritation"

"used last one until it basically fell apart and this one was reduced from £80 to £30 when i was looking for a new one maybe people don't want a black toothbrush?"

"it seem the battery is now dead charging won't last more than a second"

"clearly a serious issue with these oral b toothbrushes and other reviews have confirmed charging issues"

"didn’t use any of the bluetooth gimmicks so bought the cheaper 2500 version this time around which has the newer li ion battery"

"only complain is that it seems to go suddenly rather than noticeably slowing down for a while beforehand but since it also charges quickly not really a problem"

"finally it also has a slow speed setting for sensitive teeth"

"also the toothbrush knocks off charge very easily this could be why some people's toothbrushes aren't being fully charged"

"i am partially disabled have no transport and cannot keep going to store s in order to return items if your system is not working"

"it loses power significantly after two days so it really does need to live on its charger"

"clearly a serious issue with these oral b toothbrushes and other reviews have confirmed charging issues"

"there are some problems with the battery control logic it thinks that the battery is dead every time i leave the toothbrush without charger"

"this is a ridiculous joke after 6 weeks the battery in the brush stops working"

"note this is considerably louder than i thought it would be and the battery seems to drain quickly if you're using this morning and night as you should other than that my dentist praised my decision and my mouth does feel cleaner"

"worked ok for the first couple of months then it wouldnt charge at all"

"the red light for putting too much pressure seems pretty pointless as you have to put a lot of pressure on for it to light up"

"this should avoid the switch getting knocked"

"i was recommended by the dental staff at the phobia clinic to invest in an electric toothbrush"

"good overall product although one small issue i have is when coming off charge the on off switch fails to work the first time you have to pop it back on charge for a second then press the button then ig works fine for a couple of weeks until the next recharge"

"two of these have now suffered the same fault after just 2 3 months they will charge up and work fine in the morning but by the evening they are completely dead won’t turn on red light flashing "

"i cannot believe the negative comments regarding the battery as i fully charged the device on 15th"

"a top tip if you go to the oral b website you can extend the 2 year warranty to 3 for free just by registering your toothbrush at any time before the standard 2 year warranty expires"

"it’s olympic shaver centre ltd calverton business park ng14 6ql nottingham just in case you have the same issue update: received second brush on warranty and it died after a few months in the same way"

"total junk!"

"only slight downside is the toothbrush doesn’t shut down after two minutes just gives an extended buzz and if you’re not paying attention you can lose track not a huge deal though"

"how long before the battery dies or the rubberised coating becomes gooey and unusable remains to be seen!"

"basically you can pick between a faster rotation or a slower rotation from the toothbrush head another great little feature is the red light on the back of the unit that indicates if your pushing the toothbrush to hard against your teeth gums which may cause damage"

"it's faster than my old one mix of better motor and new battery and slightly less noisy"

"i'm not sure if i received a defective model or if i happen to brush my teeth in such a way that manages to drain the battery dramatically but i seem to find myself charging this after somewhere between 10 15 brushes"

"i am very surprised and a little concerned how loud and noisy this toothbrush is"

"there are some problems with the battery control logic it thinks that the battery is dead every time i leave the toothbrush without charger"

"you have been warned!"

"disappointed to say the least hope it doesn't happen to someone else"

"i upgraded to this model from a less powerful one"

"well worth the additional cost in my opinion"

"this device is perfect two speeds a two minute warning broken into 4x 30sec periods notified by short pause in vibration"

"it does have a 30 second mode then stop then start up again for 4 x lots of 30 secs to indicate to you a 2 minute total brush"

"i occasionally use a standard toothbrush but quickly switch back to this electric one because i am genuinely impressed with the impact it makes to how my teeth feel to my tongue"

"this is not the standard europlug"

"i have only had my toothbrush for just over a year and now it doesn't work"

"i've suffered with bleeding gums and plaque build up meaning loads of expensive visits to the hygienist but this seems to be keeping things in order now along with using interdental sticks"

"cons: very minor issue but i clean this as i hate the old paste residue that builds up but the design of the handle means it builds up within days either on the sides and in thew case however easily fixed with a 10 second blast of hot water from a shower head"

"only issue is that there appears to be no pre emptive warning of low battery: the toothbrush will significantly step down in speed in mid brush and it's only then that you'll see the red indicator"

"to give a low battery warning when not in use would require it to always be 'on' to some degree"

"the only drawbacks were that the instructions were poor and it has a long charging time"

"mouth feels much cleaner than if you’d used a manual toothbrush and the smaller brush head makes it easier to reach the back of your teeth"

"before that we just had manual toothbrushes"

"and using it after a manual tootbrush you really feel the difference espatially on the back teeth !"

"disappointing to buy an incomplete product"

"the unit can appear noisy when in use but this is not a serious problem"

"previous models have had really poor battery performance over time"

"i've been using it for 6 months or so now my first impression was that my teeth felt like i'd just left the dentist"

"my gums are in better condition because are not injured from my intense brush and i don't use too much padte now"

"one month later after lots of internet research about electrical toothbrushes and reading endless reviews i decided to give a second chance to the same 2500n toothbrush"

"this is with the same toothpaste as with the sonicare"

"i wish bosch sold this without the charger though i have seb=veral chargers that outlive the life of the brush"

"received a faulty product"

"this is an issue with all electric brushes been so for years they don't stand up very well on their charger or not too easily knocked over "

"but the biggest issue for me is no usb charging"

"purchased one in november and was pleased with it until it stopped working due to a charging problem"

"i would highly discourage anyone from buying this product as i have had to go and buy a new brush after only purchasing this in may "

"my only concern is can i replace the batteries when they give up we'll see"

"i bought the first one for christmas at a special price and have to return it a day later as it was very noisy and unpleasant to brush my teeth even on the second position for sensitive teeth"

"had this for about three months now and it’s started to have the dreaded battery problem charging for a full 24 hours gives me about 2 days use this has got to be a problem that needs recall i bought when i lived in the uk i now live in japan and can find no way of getting product support here"

"note this is considerably louder than i thought it would be and the battery seems to drain quickly if you're using this morning and night as you should other than that my dentist praised my decision and my mouth does feel cleaner"

"with this device the strength of the motor only slightly drops while the battery discharges and you are warned at the end of the brushing session when it needs recharging"

"i bought this product only because it promises longer battery life and timer but nothing works "

"the toothbrush gave approx"

"on gripe leaves it too late to indicate low battery and expensive genuine heads got compatible ones which seem just as good ended up getting wife and kids into electric too"

"this toothbrush pro 2500 has little vibrations every 30 secs to prompt you to move to the next quadrant and a little red light to indicate you are pressing too hard which are the only two extra features i use"

"suggest avoid"

"i've used previous models of the oral b electric offerings and been disappointed with the performance as the battery drained"

"i have one caveat though the stupid illumination"

"this toothbrush pro 2500 has little vibrations every 30 secs to prompt you to move to the next quadrant and a little red light to indicate you are pressing too hard which are the only two extra features i use"

"it gets in every little crevice of your teeth"

"the timer goes off for each quarter which is slightly annoying since my last brush went off at the end of a complete cycle i dont brush my teeth on quadrants so the jerks every 30 seconds dont suit me other than that the best brush i've had in years!"

"i am petrified of the dentist and hadn't been for over a decade"

"to me the timer functionality consists of the annoyance of the brush pausing occasionally for 1 or 2 seconds"

"this is my 4th oral b electric toothbrush and unfortunately it is the least reliable"

"never ever had one fail like this and we have used oral b brushes for 10+ years"

"both toothbrushes had a gap between the head and the body which made the head wobbly somebody else left feedback and photos about this problem "

"if you like cleaning your teeth with something that sounds and feels like a pneumatic drill then this one is for you!"

"travel case included means i don't get that soapy smell in the brush when i travel for business and holidays and it goes in my toiletries bag"

"significantly louder and more abrasive than a sonicare and harder to reach the back teeth"

"my dentist suggested i get a toothbrush with a pressure indicator on it because she thought i was permanently damaging my gums by brushing too hard"

"the other issue is it has a red light indicator to warn you if you're brushing too hard"

"two of these have now suffered the same fault after just 2 3 months they will charge up and work fine in the morning but by the evening they are completely dead won’t turn on red light flashing "

"i discovered when using non oral b replacement heads on my old oral b how quickly that gap fills up it meant stopping and cleaning things often or the toothpaste water saliva mixture will gum up under there and create a sort of disgusting scaling inside that's difficult to clean"

"loses all of its charge within a couple of hours"

"i'm suprised to how this mistake could happen im honestly shocked"

"had the item less than a month and it failed to hold charge"

"not quite accurate in that i love the product but it should not fail within 5 months and if it does getting any assistance from amazon as to who where it should be returned has been more that problematic!"

"not sure what the bluetooth thing is for so havent used that"

"each brush has been better than the last and we seem to be averaging about two years use before the batteries start to fade"

"unfortunately as some other reviews have pointed out there is a small gap between the toothbrush head and the main component meaning it will get filled with residue but can also 'nip' or catch your skin as you brush the teeth at the back of your mouth"

"the timer is also complicated i just need it to turn off after 2 mins but it doesn't rather it sends a pulse but this seems to happen every 30 seconds and there is also a flashing light which i have no idea what that does"

"find this brush better it has the same extras 30s quadrant timer 2min timer pressure light & two brush settings"

"case is pretty simplistic but reasonably well made"

"have used this brand for many years but sadly this new one only lasted 4 days before the on off button developed a fault"

"incidentally i definitely had the switch turned off during the recharging so that was not the reason for it failing to charge"

"my gums aren't bleeding with this unlike the previously occasionally did"

"sometimes loses the charge in a few hours after a full charge then other times can last a week without any problem"

"there is also a pressure sesnor to make sure you aren't brushing too hard which can cause gum damage"

"the timer and pressure sensors are very useful"

"but after a week or two full weeks my teeth got used to the feeling of vibration and so i no longer feel like all my teeth will fallout"

"before i was overbrushing but now with the time function i won't have to worry about that"

"i initially went cheaper & chose a make on here with good reviews from china huge mistake!"

"this may look petty on my part but trust me when the thing does not do what you expect three times a day every day it gets very annoying"

"this is such a poor design"

"i use the 30 second timer for each quadrant of the mouth and then go over vulnerable areas again such as back teeth and my high fangs"

"the travel case is handy i made the mistake of not turning the brush 45° when putting it in the case initially"

"great brush at a great price plus handy travel case lights up red if you push too hard which is great as i tend to push too hard loses a star for 2 reasons 1 the brush vibrates every 30 seconds however doesnt automatically turn itself off after 2 mins my panasonic did!"

"it's either a faulty unit or just very poor"

"yes it’s expensive but it was on sale when i bought it"

"i was pretty upset that amazon sent this product unpackaged"

"it sounds a bit different from my previous brush a tad harsher but that's ok once you get used to it it would be good if the brush just turned off rather than having to go from fast to slow to off but that's a minor inconvenience to me"

"i removed my toothbrush from the charger this morning and this evening the battery is flat!"

"the unit can appear noisy when in use but this is not a serious problem"

"i've never needed to write a review before in bad light but this honestly just shocked me"

"i got a replacement and exactly the same thing happened so clearly this is just a problem with this model"

"the only drawbacks were that the instructions were poor and it has a long charging time"

"i was meaning to return it and sort out the guarantee but i’m usually pretty slow with these things which is why i never did"

"this results in a daily mess"

"after 3 and a half years my little colgate omron c200 started to fade"

"very disappointed that it's failed so quickly"

"top one is uk shaver plug bs 4573 bottom one standard europlug"

"only time will tell if there is a problem with the charging but then that is what the guarantee is for "

"i had been using the oral b dual clean heads on my last toothbrush but as they became harder to find and my toothbrush's battery needed charging more frequently i realised i needed something new"

"the timer goes off for each quarter which is slightly annoying since my last brush went off at the end of a complete cycle i dont brush my teeth on quadrants so the jerks every 30 seconds dont suit me other than that the best brush i've had in years!"

"thought it was faulty at first as the head doesn't meet click into the body there is a gap however i assume this is because when vibrating it needs room to move"

"or i was until it started a problem with the battery discharging completely when i tried t charge it or or lasted a session or two going from fully charged to completely flat"

"whilst the product itself works well when charged it takes far too long to charge and dos not hold the charge for very long"

"i also found with the light blue one whenever it went off telling you 30 seconds had passed etc the machine would vibrate so much it would drain the battery"

"maybe it is just a one off faulty item but i am going to try and return it and get either a free replacement or my money back!"

"on top of the price of the tooth brush also what is far worse is you get charged v"

"this one however has been hopeless and is obviously faulty"

"within five working days the product was mailed repaired and returned without cost to me "

"when i purchased this it seemed those models were being phased out though but without a similarly priced alternative"

"when i went to use it that evening it was totally dead"

"would be 4 stars however mine has developed a unfortunate rattle in the head of the toothbrush and so i have taken away a star"

"there is clearly something wrong with this model battery as i have been buying oral b toothbrushes for the last 20 years and never had this problem before"

"is stupidly slow toothbrush heads wear out pretty quick and are expensive no battery indicator i've had it run out of juice mid brushing"

"the only note for eu buyers charger has annoying uk plug"

"you actually need only one function unless you have a problem in your gums or something"

"you still need to rely on traditional floss"

"the included case is mostly useless and i have not used it not for lack of needing it it was just easier to throw the toothbrush in a bag it was charged for approx 2 weeks of use and each head lasts maybe 3 months before needing replaced"

"the noise and vibration is really disconcerting whereas the sonicare is really quite and gentle in comparison"

"the battery charged ife is quite very short compared to the sonicare but then it does have additional functions"

"in previous ones i've owned the battery gave up the ghost entirely after 2 3 years which i think it should be a priority to improve or make the battery replaceable "

"the only downside i can think of is the noise level it feels like i am brushing my teeth with an industrial drill!"

"it’s supposed to take around 15 hours to fully charge from being totally dead but mine stops charging after just one hour"

"no mention of paying v"

"i would not recommend buying this toothbrush that gap may not seem like much but it is a lot"

"i have had three oral b in the space of a few months and both have stopped working in a very short time the last one wouldn't even charge all from amazon"

"as the title says at this price i was sure it's going to be some cheap wonky machine that's a nightmare to clean as i've had other brands with this problem i was very wrong"

"i have had several oral b toothbrushes before without problems but this one has been very unsatisfactory in terms of charging"

"the first one i purchased lasted almost 4 years the second about 2 and the last model a pitiful 10 months!"

"usually it's not an issue but i charged it and brought it for a short weekend trip without the charger and this happened so i had to buy a manual brush which was annoying"

"never used an electric toothbrush before but this is simple to use and easy to get used to for a first timer like me as it lights up if you spend too long on any tooth "

"i thought it would bleep but it just make a whirling noise which blends into the noise of the brush and so you do not really know when the 2 minutes is up i brought this brush for my son to help him brush his teeth for the correct amount of time still using a separate timer for this"

"only issue is the battery is very slow to charge and the warning light for low battery doesn't come on until very late"

"it's a fair bit louder than a philip's sonicare i had"

"the pressure warning is also a handy feature of the newer brushes although i've never had a problem with this"

"best avoid this product as it’s rubbish and avoid innox as their customer service leaves a bit to be desired too"

"i don't expect a toothbrush to aggressively annoy me"

"how long before the battery dies or the rubberised coating becomes gooey and unusable remains to be seen!"

"we had ours a few days and despite it being left on charge when we went away for a night it had lost power by the morning"

"the pressure indicator is a great help to avoid brushing too hard"

"i bought two in april and one died in august dead isn't quite the description zombie would be a better description as it won't come on when the button is pressed but will come on randomly day and night"

"and there doesn't see to be any way to get rid of that light"

"having a second slow mode speed is essential for cleaning our gums"

"liked this toothbrush straight away used to charge once in every 3 weeks but after using this for couple of months the battery seems to have weakened a lot now i need to charge after every 3 days it performs really well with fully charged battery but after 3 days it slows down quite a bit which is frustrating"

"my dentist has been nagging me for years to buy one and after some research got this"

"then the same last night it was on charge all day but by the time i got home it was flat again"

"the unit has a built in timer which is all but useless as you need to stop between quadrants to apply more toothpaste and the timer doesn’t reset when you turn the brush off so it’s pointless"

"this is just ridiculous"

"the only negative i can come up with is that the brush does not stop automatically after the two minute clean cycle minor i know but i can live with that considering how good this brush is"

"i bought this few months ago and because of my busy schedule could not write this review "

"i get two days before it dies"

"latterly the battery was beginning to fail not holding charge for long and the handle was starting to look tired"

"a very unusual case of poor customer service from amazon who are normally so good"

"it has two speeds pity the slow speed comes after the fast speed"

"battery life it is poor that's why i only give 4 stars but as i have a shaving socket in bathroom i just leave it on charge"

"mine tends to last about a week before it needs charging and the only slight negative is the charging time is very long and i normally have to leave it overnight but to be honest this isn't really an issue"

"i have no hesitation in recommending this model oral b toothbrush well worth it's cost!"
