Oral-B Pro Battery Toothbrush, 2 Batteries Included

Product Information

It does not quite have the premium look and feel of some Sonicare toothbrush models, but the overall shape and form factor is very practical, tried, tested and cost effective. The brush head supplied will depend on the variant selected, but it is one of a number of different brush head styles available from Oral-B. These act as gripping points for the hand and fingers when in use, these are particularly good if your hands are wet. We test all electric toothbrushes by using them twice a day over a period of at least one week, making sure we get a feel for how they handle and perform when cleaning. Oral-B's round head surrounds each tooth for cleaner teeth and healthier gums, removing up to 100% more plaque vs.

While brushing it randomly freezes up and grinds gently for a few seconds before going back to normal.What’s more, you still get effective pressure-sensing, with an indicator ring on the handle that glows blue to green to red, to let you know if you’re brushing too hard, or not hard enough. The Oral-B Pro 1 680 definitely gets the job done and certainly delivers pretty reasonable value considering a useful travel case is included. Like its predecessor, there are multiple brushing modes to choose from, including whitening, intense and tongue clean, plus granular mapping to pinpoint specific areas of your mouth and check how effectively you’re cleaning them. Should you like it and want to keep it, you will benefit from a 2 year warranty, which can be extended to 3 years, simply by going online to register it.

With a regular clean, there is no particular reason or cause for concern in regards to the durability of this particular model.The handle is based around a design that has been used over and over again and proven itself to be reliable. If the product is dropped, the brush head should be replaced before the next use even if no damage is visible. For a start, you get a fast magnetic charger, capable of recharging your toothbrush in around three hours. The sleek new design drops the rubber grip of the older model, but it’s still easy to handle and easier to rinse clean, while the rear pressure sensor – now a 360-degree ring – can be seen while you’re brushing. I’m having the same problem as Kerry, I don’t think this brush has a working pressure sensor, nothing really changes when I press too hard.

I would suggest trying to send it back under their test drive programme, which is a money back guarantee, but I don’t believe ti would be eligible as the brush had now been repaired. Otherwise, it has the same tech and the same key strengths as the iO Series 6 and iO Series 9, giving you a smoother brush with less vibration than the older Genius models, yet still delivering an excellent ‘fresh from the dentists’ clean.Electric toothbrushes are suitable from ages 3+, with specific kids electric toothbrush models available, and are gentle on gums and suitable for sensitive teeth. Meanwhile, the battery life is a little better than many of the other iO-Series brushes, with our test brush clocking 2 hours and 19 minutes of action before running flat so you can easily get through a month of brushing without a recharge. A visible pressure sensor, more powerful brush motor, longer battery life and additional cleaning modes are all part of the reason it is our top pick from all your options of best electric toothbrushes. Sometimes you’ll find iO Series brushes selling for less than older Genius series brushes, or Smart series brushes selling for more than a better Genius series brush. All the same, although the action feels a little rough and rattly in comparison to the brand’s more expensive models, it still gives your gnashers a thorough clean – which you can tailor by switching out the CrossAction brush head for a Sensitive or Precision Clean head.
