Customer Reviews of Oral-B Precision Clean Brush Head (4 ct.)
Customer Review: Not Quite Right
Summary: 1 Stars
I had read a few bad reviews of these items before purchasing them. Like those reviewers before me, I found it was hard to ignore the low price. So I asked myself, "How bad can they be"?
The brush heads I received looked correct when compared to the brush heads I purchased locally (at much greater expense). When using them, however, I notice that the motion of the head is not nearly as controlled as the retail example. On the local retail version, the motion of the head is very well constrained to just an oscillating motion (partial rotations, back and forth). These brush heads have very poor motion constraint. The circular brush can easily "slide" around on its base which can very easily pinch your cheeks and/or lips (sometimes quite painfully).
Not only that, but the oscillating motion is much weaker resulting in a worse quality brushing. As poor as the action of these brush heads is, I can only imagine that they are a cheap "knock-off", more interested in looking like the original than acting like it.
My advice is to pay the retail price for the real brush heads. Your mouth and your dentist will thank you.
Customer Review: Be aware of extremely low price package!
Summary: 1 Stars
A lot of 1* reviews complains how bad some of the fake brush replacement from/through Amazon is. I hope I could give it a negative 5*.
I bought this replacement pack from "instock novelties" through Amazon last October but didn't use it until recently. I don't think the return policy allows me to return it after so many months. The price was too low to be true, just $11.65 a pack. And it wasn't. Obviously it is fake. My first brush broke up in just 4 or 5 uses. A pin in the back that supports the brush head fell off. The second one can't even fit my Oral-B Vitality well. The vibration kicks it off in 5 seconds! I have to use my fingers to keep it stay in position. If I spent half the price to get a fake one, I would expect it lasts at least half as long as the real product. This one lasted only a couple of days. Comparing with 3-month suggested replacement life from original product, it is obvious which one is really cheaper.
Now the price returns to normal and is sold from Amazon directly. So, be aware of unreasonable low price in the future, it may be fake!
Customer Review: Each brush has been defective
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned my Oral-B toothbrush for years. I normally buy the replacement brushes from my local Osco or Walgreens -- 3 brushes for $23. Each brush replacement lasts at least 6 months, & I don't replace the brush until the color is faded. I decided to try the Amazon brush replacements to save money -- $4 brushes for $12. A good deal - right? Wrong! I purchased the brushes on 12/1/09. I am already on my 3rd brush! The first two each had the same problem -- something in the head loosened causing the head to wobble when in use on the brush. As it wobbled, it pinched my tongue & gums -- my tongue actually had bleeding cuts from it! Both of the first two heads are defective, & of poor quality. This never happened with the expensive heads -- I never had a problem, I used them until the color faded, & then threw them away. I am totally disappointed in these Amazon heads. I will try all 4 heads to see if this is just a fluke, or if these are all of inferior quality.Customer Review: Suspect It's a KnockOff, Is Dangerous
Summary: 1 Stars
Like many others have found, these "replacement" brushes are dangerous. The brush assembly comes loose after a short, pinches your cheeks. On one unit the the metal piece that holds the brush to the stem protruded, didn' realize that until I saw blood. AMAZON; you should stop selling these brushes until the SELLER proves that these units are actually made by ORAL-B. I'm suspect because on another ocassion I bought a "SANDISK" memory stick (on eBay) that didn't seem to work right. I called SANDISK, and after giving them the serial number per their request, I learned that the item was not made by SANDISK! Yet, everything about the item appeard normal, including the packaging (which I compared with a store-bought unit). These brush units may likewise be knockoffs, and the SELLER might not even realize this. I call upon the SELLER and AMAZON to investigate. Don't sell these anywmore, these brushes are dangerous.Customer Review: Not like the originals!!!
Summary: 2 Stars
It's hard to pass up this product because of the great price so I tried them anyway. Well I've learned my lesson that if over 30% of customers are giving 1 or 2 stars to a product then it is best to stay away!!
This replacement brush makes a lot of noise and the brush head doesn't spin as strong as the original one I had. Also I seem to get a lot more saliva/water from my mouth dripping down the side of brush onto the toothbrush handle and onto my hand.
I have gone back read other reviews on the product and I'm not waiting to see what other disasters will happen with these brushes. I hardly ever return items but for this product it's just best to return it as these brushes definitely do not work anything like the originals!! I've noticed that almost all the negative reviews for this product have come within the past 12 months.
(NB: I got mine through Mr. Bargain).
