Customer Reviews of Oral-B Advance Power 450TX Battery-Powered Toothbrush
Customer Review: OK at best
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good electric toothbrush and great for travel as the 2 AA batteries last months. However, we've been through three of them in two years. Expect them to last about a year. As with other Braun toothbrushes, the brush tips are expensive and can be hard to find. Our local grocery chain discontinued all Braun/OralB toothbrushes and tips.The customer service people at both Walgreens and Eckerd tell me they just can't get their orders filled. This went on for the better part of 2003 and we finally picked some up during a trip to Europe.I switched from a rechargeable Braun as I got tired of the rechargeable batteries losing their ability to hold a charge after a couple of years. Even if the AA battery models only last a year they are a much cheaper both initially and over the long run. They do vibrate a bit more but clean just as well and I find the shape much easier to handle than the rechargeable models.
Customer Review: Oral B
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used the product before. The first one lasted nearly 4 years.
What is good about the product is that it reaches the back teeth.
It also has a 2 minute alarm.
Proper use of the product to make it last, Wash the toothbrush and clean the product barrel after every use.
The brushes are replaceable. I get mine at COSTCO. But everyone sells the replacement brushes.
Clean as well the brush protector. Note that the brush protector item does not come with new replacement brushes. Therefore keep that item clean as well.
I would assume that brushing one to three times daily wears out the batteries. For good use replace the batteries about every 90 days or sooner if the Oral B starts to slow.
I use rechargeable batteries in my Oral B.
Customer Review: toothbrush
Summary: 4 Stars
I had purchased this brush, or a very similar model, a few years back at a local store and just love it, especially because it is easy to pack when traveling - and disposible batteries are the way to go when travelling overseas(Eveready alkaline last a month and Eveready lithium last 2 months when using the brush 2x daily). The push button switch went out on it and I wanted another one to replace it. This toothbrush is not sold in stores where I live anymore, so that is why I looked to buy it online. I was very satisfied with the ordering and prompt shipment of this new item. The price was a little high compared with the battery operated models of other brands sold in stores, which is why I rated this 4 stars instead of 5.Customer Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had one for the last four years, and it works great. Over the years everybody in the family got this model or the rechargeable one, and we all love it. Yes, the heads are expensive and hard to find, but I got a whole bunch and am hoarding them :).
I much prefer the battery powered ones to the electric. The batteries last quite long--3-4 months for me. And it can be put away in a drawer, instead of adding to the clutter on the counter. And I'm not paying a premium up-front for a rechargeable battery that itself needs to be replaced in 2 years!
Customer Review: My Teeth Love This Toothbrush!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've bought several of these.
It cleans my teeth well, it's small and inexpensive and doesn't have a cord so it travels easily. It also has a timer so I know when I've brushed enough. Otherwise I know that I'd cheat.
I keep one and extra heads for toothbrushless house guests. they like it too and want to take it home or know where they can buy one.
I've have to replace it only once when water seeped into the connection to the battery. They tell you to dry the brush after using so I think that this is my fault.
