4 thoughts on “Oral-B Pro-Health Battery Toothbrush Precision Clean”

1. I have never lived in the sort of house or apartment that had counterspace near the bathroom sink — or anywhere else in the bathroom, for that matter — on which to keep electrical appliances such as a rechargeable toothbrush or a WaterPik. I always seem to have a pedestal sink or a very tiny vanity, in an old-fashioned bathroom where only flat surface is the top of the toilet tank, unless I’m lucky enough to have a window and sill.

   For that reason, I love the new battery-powered electric toothbrushes, even if they don’t seem to last very long before neither new batteries nor a new brush head will bring them back to life. And for the first 58 days that I had it, I loved the Oral B Pro-Health Precision Clean best of all. The round head cleaned my sensitive teeth gently and efficiently, and the two-minute timer was very practical. But then it suddenly died in mid-brush, and new batteries would not get it working again. I even tried yet another set of new batteries, but it still would not work. Luckily, I was able to return it for a full refund before the 60-day deadline (I bought mine at CVS).

   In my experience, battery-powered toothbrushes usually last more than two years before they completely wear out, but this one did not last two months. Perhaps the one I had was a fluke with a bad switch or something; I don’t know, and I hesitate to buy another one of the same model, although I will probably get another Oral-B.

2. Your mouth will thank you if you ditch your manual toothbrush and switch to this toothbrush. Teeth become so much whiter as the brush action really gets your teeth extremely clean. The wonderful thing about this is you can change the brush heads to whatever you like (flosser head, precision head, etc.). The power is nice and strong which I love, other folks may not be so thrilled. If you have sensitive teeth this brush is still good just do not use a toothpaste with SLS (sodium laurel sulfate) OR use a sensitive toothpaste like Sensodyne. I have sensitive teeth and use these products together and my smile is becoming more stunning everyday. My son loves the timer function on the brush as he no longer has to use the clock.

3. I have the previous version of this toothbrush and have been using it for about a year. Had one before that, but dropped it and the battery cap cracked (used that for several years). I prefer the dual head, but got my wife this one who prefers the small head. The 2 minute timer makes it easy to brush the proper amount of time and since I’ve been using these my Dentist has complimented me on how well I maintain my teeth. I like this style because you can use regular AA batteries or rechargable AA batteries (which is what I use). The charge usually lasts more than a month. Also, because it’s not hooked to a battery charger I can keep them out of sight in my medicine cabinet.

4. Pro:
   
   - It can clean teeth very well. Much better than manual toothbrushes. Much better than Crest Spinbrush. I am very happy to have it.
   
   - It takes 2 AA rechargeable batteries. A full charged hybrid batteries will last more than 2 weeks. (it depends on how long your batteries hold the charge). Alkaline batteries last a month. So it is very useful for traveling.
   
   - Since the batteries are removable, you can use different set of batteries until the toothbrush broken. Note that, you can not replace the batteries in any toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries and one of the most common reason for a toothbrush ends its useful live is the death of its built-in batteries.
   
   - If you want to save the environment and you don’t want to throw dead batteries into garbage cans then you don’t like toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries. It is very hard to remove the batteries from the unit to handle them properly.
   
   - This is the least expensive electric toothbrush from Oral-B. But it performs really well.
   
   - This toothbrush uses the same refill brushes that other expensive models use. So you get similar result for much less money.

   Con:
   
   - This one does not have a timer. You can pay couple more dollar to get the one (also from Oral-B) with the timer.
   
   - People reported that this toothbrush lasts from 1 to 2 years. Well, the most expensive (about 9 times more expensive) Oral-B electric toothbrush lasts from 3 to 5 years. If you do not care about other features the expensive ones offers, I think this has more value.
