Oral-B Pro 100 Precision Clean, Battery Powered Electric Toothbrush, Blue and White

Having an issue with spending an entire two minutes brushing my teeth and wanting an electric toothbrush, I began looking for an electric toothbrush with a built-in timer. I began looking into the Sonicare line of toothbrushes before stumbling upon the Oral-B rotary-style brushes. Because these brushes were a fraction of the price of a Sonicare, I was skeptical, but since it was cheap to "try it out," I went for it. I won't be buying another electric toothbrush anytime soon. The reason why I picked this toothbrush versus others is based off of what I took away from other reviewers on other products: - Price; this product is a fraction of the price compared to others. - Rotary brush head vs sonic brush head; my dentists have always recommend brushing in a circular manner versus a back-and-forth method. I have heard that sonic brush heads are much more prone to being a breeding ground for bacteria. I decided to opt for the rotary head. - Replaceable battery vs. rechargeable; most electric toothbrush batteries end up going out completely after a year or two. I didn't want to deal with having to dock my toothbrush and worrying about the impending doom regarding the charge going out, so I decided to get the AA-powered model that was cheaper. I instead am using recharegable AA batteries. - Timer; this product has a timer. It will turn on and off about 3 times after 2 minutes. I don't need different "brush modes" or anything. - Travel; Because there aren't any additional parts, taking this brush with me while I'm travelling is just as simple as carrying around a manual toothbrush. Just make sure your battery has juice before you take it with you. :) Other things to note: - The battery lasts about 30 days. - The brush is relatively loud compared to a Sonicare, but you get used to it. - The entire brush is waterproof and you can run it under the sink. I wouldn't submerge in water though. Also, you can prevent the battery seal from cracking by routinely keeping your toothbrush clean. Your saliva/toothpaste will naturally want to get within every groove of this brush. Just run the entire brush under the sink and the wipe everything down after you're done, it takes about 20 seconds. I clean the seal around the battery case every 2 weeks or so. Overall, I am very happy with this product, it keeps my mouth feeling much cleaner than it ever did with a manual brush and I see it lasting a long time. Even if it does break at some point as other reviewers are stating, it's very cheap to replace as the price suggests. I'm just curious why I didn't do this sooner.

I bought the Oral-B Pro 100 Precision because I wanted to switch to an electric toothbrush without spending a ton of money—and I’m really glad I did. It’s basic, but it does exactly what I need it to. The brush gives a nice, thorough clean and makes my teeth feel way smoother than with a manual toothbrush. You can really tell it’s getting more plaque off. It doesn’t have a bunch of fancy features, just a single speed, but honestly that’s all I personally need. It vibrates every 30 seconds to remind you to switch sections, which is super helpful. The battery lasts about a week for me on a full charge, brushing twice a day. It’s not the longest battery life, but it charges pretty quickly. The handle feels solid, and I like that it uses the same brush heads as the higher-end Oral-B models, so it’s easy to find replacements. If you’re looking for a no-frills, reliable electric toothbrush that gets the job done, I’d definitely recommend this one. It’s a great entry point if you’re new to electric brushes or just want something simple and effective.

Excellent, in use over a year.

The power of this toothbrush is not really for adults, but if you wish to get it anyway..sure why not, its cheap!! With that being said, its really for kids. The power is just no better than you brushing with your regular toothbrush by hand. I bought this to train my toddler to brush, because the more expensive and higher model is way over powering for them. I have a 1500 model and it has a sensitivity mode which I had trained my kids to brush with and this toothbrush is weaker or same as the sensitivity mode depending on the battery life. Pro: -Not strong as higher and expensive model, save cost and good for kids to use. -Good for traveling, if lost cheap to replace. -Easy to change battery, unlike higher model you can't do it so easy without taking apart and re-solder it. -For sensitive teeth -a lot of third party cheap brush will work with this and not over price! Con: -super basic, you get what you paid for, under power and only one mode setting. -Not really for adult and clean no better than using regular brush. -You need to brush 3x the amount of time to get a fresh clean feeling like the higher model that cost $50 and up. If you're a still reading this and looking for an Adult model electric toothbrush you should check out the 1500 or today's 3000 model and up which has two modes. And if you are thinking of getting Oral-B or Sonicare, skip Sonicare. I have the very first Sonicare generation that came out and had used three different generation of them. They are very well build, much better than Oral-B, battery charge faster and brush way cleaner feeling, but... they also fail after a few years of use, the last one I had only lasted 1.5 years before it became possessed (not kidding go lookup Sonicare toothbrush turns on automatically issue). I also have two Oral-B, been over ten years and still working today. Okay the battery does not last, but everything else works! Oral-B build quality is cheap today! with their rubber grip handle on them that will wear out over time then water will start leaking into them, so you have to take good care of them. My old one does not have this which why it lasted. Mostly importantly why you should get Oral-B is the way the brush works. Sonicare brush up and down that can push into your gum while Oral-B brush left and right which push away from your gum.

If your sick and tired of buying rechargeable toothbrushes with internal batteries that quickly loose their charge capacity and can't be replaced, then this toothbrush is for you. These toothbrushes also feature electronics that keep the motor voltage constant - and hence maintain optimal orbital brushing speed - even as the battery voltage declines as they discharge. So motor power is held consistant right up until the end when the batteries near complete depletion where finally the motor just stops. So you get optimal performance right to the end of set of batteries! This feature also means despite the lower voltage of using 2x 1.2V NiMH rechargeable cells, you get the same brushing speed and power as using 2x 1.5V Alkaline cells. This is great! as rechargeable NiMH cells last longer due to holding more charge capacity, are cheaper in the long-term, and save you throwing out bucket loads of spent Alkaline cells that would end up in landfill. Build quality of the units is great as you'd expect for a Braun, even for a cheaper unit. The battery chamber seals well but can be perfected by applying a thin layer of vaseline or other grease around the O-ring of the lower snap out section. This guarantees moisture vapour can't get into the battery chamber which over time can corrode rechargable batteries in long term service. The on/off switch is smartly sealed beneath a rubber membrane which ensures water can't get into the internals. The 2-minute timer is a nice feature. At this time interval the motor briefly oscillates off-on-off-on to let you know how long you've been brushing but if you wan't to keep brushing, you can as it doesnt turn the motor off. Overall this brush is great, especially for the price. The fact that ageing rechargable batteries can be replaced as their capacity diminishes means you can expect years of service from one of these, whereas the more expensive units with internal batteries are useless junk as soon as they loose the majority of their capacity. I changed from using a Spinbrush Pro clean to this Braun, and the improvement is terrific. The Spinbrush ran too-slow on lower voltage rechargable batteries, the battery chamber leaked, the button corroded and became unreliable, and batteries quickly corroded due to the leaking chamber. All these problems are remedied with this Braun model.

Excellent toothbrush from Oral B. Battery needed. Thinner more lightweight model/design, changeable heads, nice vibration as it’s not too heavy but just right for the sensitive teeth I have.

I actually really liked this toothbrush. I thought it had a good amount of power, cleaned my teeth great and when the batteries were new the 2 minute timer would Buzz but then the toothbrush would continue no problem. After a couple of weeks it still seemed like there was the same amount of power but the timer went weird! Instead of buzzing a couple times then continuing on it would almost stop, doing this ticking thing. I would have to turn the toothbrush off and wait a bit, then able to turn it back on and continue using it. After this kept happening I decided to change the batteries even though it didn't need it. The timer went back to working the way it did in the beginning. Again around 2 weeks later same problem! But now it doesn't even make it 2 minutes and the toothbrush stops working. I am not going to keep changing batteries because of a stupid timer! There's no need since the power of the toothbrush is great it's just the timer. Toothbrush completely stops working, even turning it off and waiting 10 seconds I might get 30 seconds of use before the timer function shuts it down. I don't feel that the 30-day return policy is fair because sometimes how can you find all this that is going wrong in 30 days?? I'm very unhappy with this waste of money!

Great product.
