Unlike more affordable alternatives, the Pro 1 does have a battery notification LED on the handle. It will flash red when the power is running out. A full recharge takes up to 12 hours. The battery LED will flash green whilst charging, before turning off once complete.
A pressure sensor is one of the features our dentists recommend is present in a good electric toothbrush. This is because many people have a tendency to scrub their teeth and brush with more force than is necessary. Doing so will damage the teeth and gums over the long term and isn’t as effective at cleaning the teeth in the short term either. Not being a smart toothbrush the total number of components used are less, thus less waste is created when the brush no longer works. Most other Oral-B electric toothbrushes are sold by multiple retailers, but on occasions, exclusivity arrangements are agreed. The Pro 1, like the majority of Oral-B brushes, makes a fair bit of noise. It is far from silent when in use.We registered 72 decibels on our noise level meter. Our tests measured the Pro 1 at 72 decibels — slightly above average but not a deal breaker
Positively, it is all paper based and does not have a polystyrene inner tray like Oral-B have used in the past. Jon is a leading voice on electric toothbrushes and has been quoted by mainstream media publications for his opinions and expertise.Its brush heads are made from petroleum-based plastic, which uses up the planet’s finite resources compared to using plant-based plastics. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly it has not been designed to be easily repaired by yourself. Trying to replace parts like the battery will likely break the brush. This makes it more likely to be discarded rather than repaired if broken.
Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. When too much pressure is applied, the Pro 1 will automatically reduce the number of bristle movements to limit potential damage. But if you don’t know whether the sensor is active or not you can’t learn when you are brushing with too much force and make the necessary improvements. Quite a few toothbrushes today have electronic mechanisms built into the handle that give visual alerts when it is time to replace the brush head. This can be helpful, but brushes that offer this are more expensive. You don’t get such alerts from the Pro 1. If you’re trying not to spend too much it’s not a feature worth worrying about White in colour with blue leaf pattern on the case supplied with white gripped handle (exceptions may apply) I don’t think whitening does all that much. Yes, it uses the power of the brush motor differently, but truth be told the cleaning results over all 3 modes are comparable if you master your brushing technique. Don’t think you are going to use whitening mode and any dull yellow teeth will shine like a diamond within a few days. At best it’s going to lift some external stains on the tooth surface, but any mode can do this.The pacer helps achieve this. It momentarily pauses the brushing action every 30 seconds to tell you to move on to the next part of the mouth. After 2 minutes the alert changes slightly to tell you that you have brushed for long enough. I will explain in the following paragraphs what the differences are, but if you are considering the Pro 1 750, I seriously urge you to consider the Oral-B Pro 3 3500 instead. This is because the Pro 1 750 is essentially identical to the Oral-B Pro 1 680, which I have reviewed in great detail. The differences aside from the name relate to the colour of the grip on the brush handle, the brush head supplied in the box and the pattern printed on the travel case.
You can switch between them by pressing the firm, but responsive power button on the front of the handle multiple times. For example, 3 times if you want whitening mode. No icons to show the cleaning mode selected on the Pro 1 (brush in the centre) The Oral-B Pro 1 Series is a good electric toothbrush with most of the dentist-recommended features at a reasonable price. With that said, the Pro 1 does have the dentist recommended 2 minute timer and pacer. It cleans the teeth really well and gives you a choice of 3 different cleaning modes.If your toothbrush of choice is currently a manual brush you will really see and feel the difference should you switch. This is because Oral-B brushes typically sell at 50% less than retail, so you appear to be getting a ‘deal’. Sensitive is great for those who want to enjoy a less intense cleaning action, or for those days your teeth or gums might feel a little more tender. It pairs really well with the softer bristled Sensi UltraThin brush head. In fact, if you are a new electric brush user, you might like to begin using the Pro 1 with this mode to ease yourself into the additional power on offer.
