Oral-B Pro 2 3D White Electric Toothbrush

Product Information

Why does my oral b splash out toothpaste while brushing? It’s making a mess on my medicine cabinet. Reply In comparing the NiMH and Lithium-Ion batteries – which type will have the longer life (as opposed to which will hold a charge longer)? Since this is most likely what will determine the life of the whole unit, it seems like an important consideration. I am not sure what head you have supplied with your brush. You could look at getting the softest head which is the Pro GumCare head. Reply It is a visual stimulus when you get distracted and in turn, acts as encouragement to brush better and for longer to get the star rating and smiley face at the end of each brushing session. Thanks for the comment. I cannot say after how long the battery will deteriorate to the point it will only hold charge for about 1 day.

At the same time that the pressure sensor is illuminated, the motor will slow to reduce pushing too many movements to the brush head, reducing the chances of doing unnecessary damage.There is a great deal to like about the iO and this is without a doubt a step up for Oral-B. But, the downside is the price. It costs quite a bit more than the Genius X and does not deliver significant benefits that would be justifiable to most for the price. Conclusion Protruding from the body, the power button is easy for the fingertip to detect. You do need to give it a fairly firm push, so those with dexterity issues might find it a bit more challenging. Hi Karen. I suspect you have left it on charge for longer now and hopefully it has fully charged. It takes around 12 hours to do so. Last resort is to press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to see if that works, but I don’t think it will. Whilst both models come with a travel case, it is the premium case supplied with the 8000 that allows the brush handle to be recharged inside the case, providing the proprietary power adapter is connected. This is not a feature available with the Pro 6000.

Water can cause corrosion, staining and crystal formation on the circuit board rendering the brush no longer functional.If your toothbrush has the option to, you may wish to change the cleaning mode selected. Different brushing modes use varying amounts of power from the brush motor causing more or less intense vibrations at the brush head. I like the slim and grippy handle. The 2 week battery life is satisfactory and, most importantly, it does a good job of cleaning your teeth. Passionate about business and helping others, Jon has been involved in various online enterprises since the early 2000s. Both brushes are fairly slim and lightweight in hand, but the Pro 1000 does not have the large amount of grip on the front of the handle like the 1500. Instead, it has just a small amount at the top where the power button is located.

Despite the name, this brush does not have any ‘smart’ (Bluetooth) features and does not connect to your smartphone. The Pro 2 2000 offers the features we regard as essential (a pressure sensor and a timer) at an affordable price. And because brushing with too much force can make this problem worse, the Pro 2 has a visible pressure sensor built into the handle. This lights a panel on the rear of the handle red and slows the brush motor until such time as the additional brushing force is reduced. It acts as a very clear visual alert when you may be doing more harm than good to your teeth. The table below is a comparison chart that shows the main models available from Oral-B today, along with the features and functions each offer.

The handle is water resistant, so a rinse under the tap is perfectly fine. All the important electronics, including the battery, are sealed inside. Battery powered toothbrush only spins without head on. I hv changed heads and same thing happens. What could be going on? Reply The slight downside is that the textured rubber surface makes it easier for toothpaste residue to build up. Without regular cleaning, I have found a white coating appears.

If the battery icon indicates that the battery is flat or low on power, it may require charging before it will turn on. You do to get a sensitive and whitening cleaning mode on the 1500, that you don’t on the Pro 1000. Not essential, but they are useful. Hi John. Thanks for this. I don’t recall coming across this issue before. Perhaps you could replace the rechargeables with standard AA batteries and see what happens. No logic to why they should perform any differently, but maybe? Reply The best approach is to apply the paste to the brush head, before turning the brush on. Place the head into the mouth, then turn the brush on. Doing so will stop the toothpaste spraying everywhere. Reply What brush do you have? Is it still within warranty? Has it sustained any damage or any reason why it might be behaving this way?we’ve been using generic heads, but they’ve worked for the past nearly 3 yrs. it’s just lately that they won’t stay on. And no, it hasn’t been dropped or damaged. Reply It is the old charger that you left the lid on the top and the extra brushes set down in. Has a mounting plate that screws to wall and the charger slides down on it. Reply
