PRO 2000

I am not one for going to the dentist. I am terrified. I always feel they are going to do something bad, especially as my regular toothbrush doesn't seem to do much. But after a friend of mine told me about Oral-B electric toothbrushes I thought I would have a look. Wow sorry this almost sounds like a commercial where I'm following a poorly written script and trying to shove a product in your face. Actually I'm trying to describe it as best I can. I like this toothbrush a lot. Sad I know. Maybe it means I've become a boring old adult now. But there is something to like in this. 1. It really does clean your teeth well. Now I had problems with tartar build up etc on my teeth. My bottom teeth particularly looked stained and yellowy. However, after extensive use of this toothbrush, brushing twice a day, my teeth after just 2 weeks were showing signs of improving! I was astounded! And after over 1 year of using this brush (obviously changing the heads every 3-4months) I can safely say it has worked a treat and the dentist says my teeth look great! 2. For those of you with sensitive teeth or dentures, it has a sensitive setting, which is achieved by pressing the power button twice. This makes the brush slightly less powerful and allows you to clean your teeth without worry. I don't have sensitive teeth but it seems t be a hell of a difference from the regular setting and a lot less harsh which is great. 3. It's easy to use. Yes I know. A toothbrush that's easy to use! Bloody hell! But seriously, some of the product descriptions on higher end brushed left me feeling a little dazed as to what it actually did and if it actually cleaned my teeth. This brush is simple. End of. 4. The pressure sensor is really handy. I used to brush my teeth so hard my toothbrush would end up flat after around 3 months, same as my dads. But this brush comes with a red LED sensor on the back which flashes very brightly when you press too hard. This puts much less pressure on your teeth and gums and makes for a much more pleasant brushing experience. So without all the awful advert like jargon, it really is a nice brush. Not too expensive and easy to use. It's very satisfying!

My emergency dentist recommended this toothbrush to me. He said that while there are a lot of cheaper versions, I should buy ones which have a pressure sensor. Apparently a lot of people using electronic toothbrushes press down too hard without them knowing, causing damage to their gums. Probably because otherwise you feel like you're not doing anything! (Indeed, my friend said she got an electronic toothbrush without a pressure sensor which had lead her gums to start bleeding). At the beginning I noticed the red light switching on from time to time, meaning I was pressing down too hard. Now I know just how much is enough and the red light is rarely on. So this function is probably great for beginner! The next time (maybe half a year after beginning use) I went to see my regular dentist, he was pleasantly surprised to see much less plaque on my teeth and praised me for taking good care of them! I have very bad teeth (two crowns fitted at the age of 20) so it is great to hear that this has made a difference. However, I did start using this at the same time as an oral irrigator, so any benefit is probably down to the two of them combined. Two years later and I have not had to have anything else done on my teeth! I would definitely recommend this, combined with an oral irrigator (Philips), to anyone worried about their teeth. I bought it on offer for around 30 pounds and together with the irrigator, it has been a great investment which has made such a difference and a saving long-term!

I'm very happy with my purchase! Put simply, it's a very effective toothbrush that cleans very well. The head isn't so big that you need a flip top head, nor is it so small that you need to spend ages on each tooth. It has a timer which allows for four periods of thirty seconds. You can, obviously carry on beyond those times. There are two mode settings for this brush. One is the normal setting to clean your teeth (continuous speed). The second seeing has been, apparently, designed for "gum care" and consists of a repeating pulsing of speed. There is a clearly visible red light that illuminates if you apply too much pressure when brushing. The brush heads have a decent lifespan with normal use. On average I would say that ours last around three months before requiring a replacement head. The replacement brush heads, compared to other makes and models, are reasonably also priced (at the time of writing, about £11 for four). The battery life will give you approximately seven or so days use before needing too be recharged. And with that, comes the only negative that I've found. They are unbelievably slow to recharge! They can easily take 20+ hours to fully charge! It's for that one reason alone that I've not rated this product with the full five stars. Otherwise, a good buy that I'd happily recommend to others.

I've had an electric toothbrush for a few years now. I had the Oral B Professional Care 7000 brush, now I have the Oral B Pro 2 2000N brush. I am impressed! My original brush was great when I first got it, it really did give a fresh from the dentist feel. Two things affected that though. Mostly was the fact the battery (NiMh) lost its grunt. The other was that I bought third party brush heads as the oral b ones are a rip off! This new brush has a lithium ion battery so I am hopeful it will retain its full power. The cross action brush head that comes with it seems very good to me. It actually really does feel like it is getting in all the gaps! My teeth also do feel again like I have just been to the dentist, like my old brush when it was new. Let's hope this continues and isn't just because it is a new electric toothbrush with a new brush head. I do find the brush feels quite aggressive at first, so I apply virtually no pressure when brushing. I'm being careful not to hurt or recede my gums. I have however found the brush more comfortable after a week or two as the bristles soften a little. This time I have plugged my toothbrush into a timer plug so it gets an hour's charge every day rather than charging all the time. Although apparently the toothbrush does have an over charge prevention mechanism. I'm buying oral b brushes again as the third party ones kept coming off during brushing, the rotating head part would also loosen and lose its effectiveness, and the bristles would quickly lose their stiffness. I still think oral b brushes are way over priced, but I'd rather pay a little more than have ineffective brushes that save a few quid. I'll update this review if I have problems but so far I think the electric toothbrush is excellent! By the way, as far as I understand from the oral b website, this model and those above it are essentially the same motor and battery, you just get extra unnecessary gimmicks for a LOT of extra money!

I've bought two of these: one for me and one for my adult daughter. We both agree that they clean our teeth better than any other electric toothbrush we've used. The toothbrush takes a while to charge the first time but seems faster thereafter. A light on the front flashes when it needs charging, which is useful. It's not any noisier than any other electric toothbrush I've heard and the brush does a small judder every 30 seconds to remind you to move to another quadrant in your brushing routine. If you accidentally press the brush head too hard, the handle lights up very clearly to get you to ease off. It doesn't matter at what angle the brush is being held: you'll see the red light if it comes on. The brush has two speeds: offering the option to slow the speed for sensitive areas, but I haven't had to use this much or often. It's handy to know it's an option, though. I've used it on crowns and around fillings, with no problems at all. The handle is easy to clean and simple to operate. It takes most, if not all, Oral B brush heads, depending on preference. I'd definitely recommend this.

I've been using this toothbrush for over a year now and can confirm it was a great buy! I take my oral hygiene very seriously after having braces for 3 years and use this at least twice daily combined with regular flossing, using mouthwash twice daily and use of interdental brushes. Personally I think this model is more than adequate for anyone - the main purpose of the toothbrush is (of course) to keep your teeth clean and any more expensive models add little else to make the steeper price truly worthwhile. The battery stays charged for at least a week and I find I only need to charge it every 2-3 weeks. The only feature that took me a while to accustom to was the red flashing light on the neck of the brush which flashes brightly when you brush too hard, but over time I've slowly learned to brush my teeth with less unnecessary pressure, which I wasn't so aware of before. I've been able to replace the head with any of my older Oral-B ones from my previous electric toothbrush, not just the expensive CrossAction ones (which may not be to everyone's preference). This brush was a great buy and I'm glad I found it for such a fair price on Amazon! My previous Oral-B brush lasted 7 years before wearing out, so I'm hoping this will last just as long. I feel they're a worthwhile investment in your oral hygiene and truly make a big difference in how clean your teeth look and feel. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to invest in a high quality but affordable electric toothbrush!

The Oral b pro 200 is so much better than a manual brush. I felt the difference in less than 1 week using the pro 2000. As for charging out of the box, mine took about 27 hours to charge fully (quite a long time, so remember to keep the charge topped up). The manual recommends brushing for 2 mins for the brush's battery to last 7 days before requiring a recharge - I felt 2 mins is a little short (for me). So I brushed for around 3 and half mins for "super squeeky clean set of teeth". *Remember - brushing for more than 2 minutes may require the brush to be charged more frequently rather than every 5-7 days as you are using more power from the internal battery. As for the brush heads, I also purchased a pack of Oral B Pro Trizone heads which are just like a manual brush but the bristles move side to side and give a great clean. I like these heads more. I only used the 1 included CrossAction once before switching over. The brush also has a pressure sensor if you brush too hard the red light eliminates to remind you to back off. It also features a "gum care" mode which is nothing more than a gimmick really, all that mode does is basically "low, high, low, high every second". I only use the daily clean mode. So far so good, it's a good buy. * I saw the same brush on sale for £24 on Amazon Prime a few days ago. (I paid £30 at the time). So look around on here!

I had a sudden urge to switch over from a normal toothbrush to an electric one and I am glad i did. Yes you could do a good job with a manual one too but this makes you feel really clean. The first time I used it I felt like I was getting my head drilled cos boy! it vibrates. Eventually got used to it. It feels like those tile polishing machines. I do it exactly like in the video 2.30 mins. An electric toothbrush is not a great tool for tongue cleaning so I still have my toothbrush. Had to charge it as soon as it got delivered since it had zero charge. But I used it after a couple of hrs and then continued to charge it till it was fully charged.(took about 12 hrs) We have 2 of these and we alternate charging each one. The manual says you can never really over charge it and it is true. And I am not sure why others are complain about it not holding charge. It is after all an electric tooth brush. Just place it back on the charging station after brushing and cleaning it or skip a day and it works exactly as described. The one with bluetooth and more seemed overpriced and redundant and for me this one works just fine. I didnt want to spend any more than this. and yes there are other heads you can purchase for this one too.

excellent, i like it

Fidèle à Oral-B depuis des années je suis pour l'instant très satisfaite de cette brosse à dent. Les deux vitesses sont appréciable, la prise en main est bonne et il y a un voyant qui en forme de la charge complète contrairement à certains modèles moi perfectionnés. Pour l'instant je ne peux pas répondre quant à la durée des batteries, on verra dans le temps

levererades till sverige med kinesisk stickpropp.

Una limpieza super profunda y la batería hiper duradera. Se nota la diferencia con el modelo más básico de Oral-B.

Il prodotto è bello e molto funzionale soprattutto per il suo prezzo, purtroppo la preso non è conforme a quelle europee di conseguenza non è utilizzabile con nessun adattatore. Ho segnalato il problema ad Amazon nella speranza che facciano smettere il venditore di distribuire questo articolo. L'assistenza Amazon però è stata impeccabile.
