Customer Review: Great Machine - First time user of electric toothbrush
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never owned an electric toothbrush before and was hesitant to spend so much money on a toothbrush. I've been having problems with my gums and I have very, very sensitive teeth and I knew I needed to do MORE to take better care of my teeth and gums. I bought this toothbrush a week ago and I can already feel the difference in how my gums feel and how clean my teeth feel.
My gums are bleeding, but my understanding is that this is normal in the first week or so of using this toothbrush (my gums were bleeding before).
I spend most of my time in undeveloped countries and do not have access to good dental care. I believe this is one of the better ways for me to take the best care of my teeth as is possible and I only wish I would have bought it many years ago.
The only negative I see is that I bought this one in the U.S. (where I'm staying for a few weeks) without paying attention to the voltage when I made the purchase. I don't think I can use this same one outside of 110v countries.
Customer Review: Very disappointing!
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased the Oral B Professional Care 3000 after reading reviews and their advertising that dentists recommend it. I had been using a Sonicaire Elite for over 5 years with great results, but that unit died and it was time for something new. Short story is I have returned the Oral B to the manufacturer under their great 60 Day Challenge policy. In my experience, the Sonicaire is a much more effective product for the money. Just received my new one from Amazon yesterday.
Pros:
-Bit less expensive than some Sonicaire models.
-60 Day Challenge which enabled me to try and return it.
Cons:
-My wife and were both unpleasantly surprised at how much the units vibrated our heads while brushing. Certainly not inspiring us to brush more/longer.
-Used the unit for about a month and had a dental cleaning. Hygienist said I had more stain on my teeth and gums were more raw than my previous checkup just 4 months before. Only change in habit was the Oral B toothbrush.
Customer Review: Second Order Still Not Right
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this item back in May - it's a couple days before July now, and I still don't have it. They sent me the base model, even though I bought it as a deal of the day advertising the DLX model. When I returned it, and asked for the model I had actually ordered, it took 6 weeks for them to replace it - with the SAME base model. Seriously. I just got it 2 days ago. When I emailed to ask them once again to give me the DLX model, they emailed me back and said sorry for the mix-up, but it would just happen again, so instead of sending me the right one, they cancelled my order. I can't help but think this attitude proves that this is a bait-and-switch situation. I'm not saying that the base model isn't a great toothbrush - it might be - but if I buy the DLX model, I WANT the DLX model! Be warned that you might not get it if you order it - I read some reviews that said this might happen, but stupidly didn't think that it would happen to me because I've had pretty good luck with Amazon until now.Customer Review: Died after 2 weeks
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not Amazon's fault I think but the toothbrush died after 2 weeks.
I started using it on 9/4/2010 and it stopped working on 09/18/2010. I only used it 1x a day. It was my first time using & purchasing an electric toothbrush, I chose Oral B because of the many good reviews.
I never kept the charger plugged in, it was only plugged in for it's 18 hour full charges which only happened 2x in my possession.
I always separated the head from the brush so both can dry.
I don't know what happened, supposedly it was new, it was in the 2 yr warranty period.
I called Oral B customer service to ask what can be done, since I bought it from Amazon, they wanted me to return it, get my refund and that's it. How helpful?
I was happy for those 2 weeks, disappointed that I must return to the manual now.
I guess brand new toothbrushes malfunction in a short time in a blue moon.
Now off to find another toothbrush.
Customer Review: Better than Manual Brushing - Way Better!
Summary: 5 Stars
Alright, so that may seem obvious to some (that this is better than a manual toothbrush). But I had to be convinced. I am an extremely consciences brusher with a strong desire to never have any dental work done. I brushed multiple times a day and brushed for a long time before going to bed ensuring that each tooth was clean. Could an electric toothbrush do that much better?
Yes. Amazingly better in a much shorter amount of time. After using the Oral B my teeth feel much cleaner afterward - very smooth like after you visit the dentist. For those who are less careful about brushing I would imagine the difference would be even more dramatic.
I haven't used any other electric toothbrush so can't compare this to anything else but I am very happy with it. It was much louder than expected when I first began using it but I am use to that now (definitely need to have the bathroom door closed if your spouse is sleeping).
