Smart 1500 Electric Power Rechargeable Battery Toothbrush, Black

This toothbrush is the most dentist-recommended and I can see why. The way the brush spins rapidly is clearly and obviously more effective than my old Sonicare. I questioned the effectiveness of that toothbrush since it just vibrates and doesn't seem to do that much more than a standard manual brush. This one gets between teeth and subjects all surfaces to a fast sweeping that makes them feel very clean, especially with the cross action head it comes with. With this thing, I can feel that the teeth feel wonderfully polished after using. And it's very satisfying to spend a while covering every section of the mouth, I usually actually take closer to 4 minutes than two. Paired with a waterpik and regular flossing I can feel confident that I'm doing all I can to keep my teeth and gums healthy. As others have mentioned, there are a few downsides: it can get slippery if the handle gets wet, it's incredibly smooth; the power button is a little difficult to push easily with a finger, and you have to push it twice to fully stop the toothbrush. Also, I would've preferred the charging base to be white as well, but the battery seems excellent on this model which is why I got it over the next cheapest version (the 1000 I think). Having disclosed the downsides, I'm still awarding five stars since this seems to me the best toothbrush out there, it works great, looks good (especially the black version, which I got for cheaper than the other colors), and overall just does its job excellently. At the end of the day judging a toothbrush for anything but how well it works seems a bit silly.

wow im pleasantly surprised. a couple disclaimers: i just got this so it doesn't account longevity or longterm performance overall. Also im coming from the sonicare diamond clean bought in 2018. So Unfortunately my sonicare purple diamond care toothbrush was dying where the vibrations were slowing down when toothbrush got near my teeth. It would turn on out of nowhere until i tried fixing it and found out that water had gotten past the seal and killed it. I wont lie it lasted me about 4-5 years although it costing around $200-250 i would definitely expect that as a minimum. i did do minimum research and wanted to try oral b due to the different technology in brushing. i discovered the oral b pro 1000 was a fan favorite but looking at reviews and further investigation the oral b smart 1500 was the better option with improvements but double the price. the toothbrush left my mouth clean and that feeling of smooth and clean teeth that the sonicare couldn't do. i can see how better the rotating head would outperform a sonic vibration brush and im happy i switched hands down. however of course its not perfect and ill compare and contrast with the sonicare. pros: - cleans way better than the sonicare hands down. - ergonomic: so i have seen the new sonicare has rubber added to the handle but my sonicare was just sleek with no rubber or grip and it has at certain times slipped out of my hands while brushing. however the oral b does has rubber and has on the back small grip indentations like a golf ball and its pretty great. it also is slightly lighter which helps alot. - the 3 different modes actually work. so the diamond clean had like 4 or 5 different modes and i honestly never used them because i never saw or felt any real difference however the 3 on the oral b i can definitely feel the difference and will use them. -visual pressure sensor as a precaution -no bluetooth gimicks - less use of pressure is nice. coming from the sonicare where you learn not to use any pressure when brushing so this brush makes you actually feel doing a better cleaning job the less pressure you use the better cleaning the bristles do. it may have to do with angle of the brush but u can feel it cleaning deeper and better with less pressure. -no rusting: my sonicare had a aluminum bottom cover with the model and brand name etc and over time it had rusted but was able to be cleaned using alcohol prep pads. the oral b has a rubber base so no need to worry about that. - no cup cleaning and no charging fidgeting.: the sonicare used an induction base that had a thick glass cup that you would use to place the brush to charge. although it was cool and the glass cup was thick and good quality. 2 problems happened . 1 was you would occasionally need to clean and wipe the glass cup. 2 sometimes you had to adjust the brush in the cup for it to start charging. with the oral b no issues . you put the handle on the little protruding nub where it goes into the handles insert. -way more brush head options -noise: will explain in the con section -price to performance: honestly for around 80 bucks this is a no brainer. the oral b wins hands down with some cons of course. - braun over philips: through using different products over the years i realized braun products are way superior than philips be them electric shavers or brushes.. cons: certain things can make or break it for you. -no travel case: my sonicare came with a nice though bulky and heavy case that also charged your brush. - no mode indicator / power on and off: the oral b has no mode indicator. you have to press the button every time to switch modes. you have to hold the power button down to turn off without going through the modes. the sonicare is the opposite. you have to hold to switch modes and single press to turn off or on but it has led indicators. - Loudness: alot of people will mention this but dont do a good job at explaining it. the oral b has an actual motor sound so yes it is more louder than the sonicare but with a caveat. yes a sonicare brush is silent as it is a vibrating brush however, i listen to youtube while i brush my teeth and with the sonicare i could barely hear a podcast or news but the oral b although louder i can hear the podcast clearer. to me it its just the different way each brush use their tech and i dont mind either one. -charge time is 12 hours for a full charge - longer brush time: i see this as a pro but you might think its a con. because the brush is much smaller it takes longer and makes you more focused in brushing so it takes me maybe 3 minutes as after i finish my regular cleaning i switch to whitening mode. - messier? because it takes longer you might have to empty your mouth more often to avoid splashing - cons for both brushes no tongue cleaning so i use a tongue scraper. conclusion: so far the oral b smart 1500 is the best choice in most important ways and sure the sonicare has some good features but, for the best bang for your buck, performance and essentials go for oral b smart 1500 over sonicare and the oral b 1000 and higher tiers. The higher tiers of oral b have the dumb gimmicks of Bluetooth feautures. I also read a lot of reviews complaining it was hard to hold. unless you have severe arthritis or a disability I have to call hogwash on that claim. The oral b is a lot easier to hold and harder to drop. Also a lot of people are also complaining that it's hard to turn off? All you do is either hold the button down for a couple of seconds or press the button 3 or 4 times an it turns off. Reading the manual isn't that hard either.

I began to have problems with my old Oral-B electric toothbrush several months ago, and finally it died. I reckon it was at least five years old by this time, maybe as old as seven years. As I recall, I paid about $100 for it after the coupon. I was chagrined to discover that these toothbrushes contain batteries that cannot be replaced. Once the batteries stop being able to hold a charge from the charger, you have to replace the entire unit. It actually took me a while to sort that out because everyone I asked about it thought I was talking about replacing the brush heads. Those should be replaced at least every three months if not a little sooner. I already knew that. Anyway, I began reading reviews on electric toothbrushes. I pretty much knew I wanted another Oral-B, but I was unsure whether to get the 1000 or this 1500 model. I ended up ordering the 1500 model. I could not be more impressed. This toothbrush is POWERFUL. My teeth never feel this clean, smooth, and polished unless I just came from having them cleaned at the dentist's office. I like how powerful is this toothbrush, but I also like that it has a smaller footprint than my old one had. It also feels slightly lighter in my hand. The design is compact and efficient---exactly what such an appliance should be (Water-Pik, take note of this fact!). I have nothing bad to say about this toothbrush. I have heard it has been discontinued. I am not 100% sure this is true, but in case it is true, if you need to replace your old electric toothbrush, or if you are a first time buyer, you cannot go wrong with this toothbrush. Buy it now whilst there are still some in stock. It does not have a lot of bells and whistles, but I for one do not want a lot of bells and whistles. It does exactly what it should do for a pretty reasonable price. If you buy it, I think you will be well pleased with your purchase. I rate this toothbrush five stars out of five!

Fácil de usar, la batería dura unas dos semanas y se recarga fácil dejandolo en la base una noche.

Having used this for a while, I now find I have received a 110v charger, which no longer appears to be working as the brush no longer charges. I will now need to find a replacement charger and hope that that is the cause. Getting sent a product with the wrong voltage should just not happen. Strongly suggest any purchaser double check base of charger for correct voltage for your region before using.

I chose this as my first electric toothbrush and I am thrilled with it. My teeth are so clean and my gums have stopped being sensitive. I keep it handy and plugged in. I love my toothbrush.

First of all the toothbrush was delayed in delivery which is unusual as one message I got when enquiring said the company had gone out of business so did I want a refund, I figured "yes" while I still can get it why not and I would order it again if possible with a different connection. Amazon was very good about the refund, said a credit was going thru in the next couple of days to my VIZA. The very next day the toothbrush arrived in perfect shape. Then the next day I get this email from Amazon saying the refund is done plus I receive a gift if I click the gift box which I did and up popped an image of the very brush I had ordered, the message said it was a gift. I was so dumbfounded and needless to say delighted. It is nice to know Amazon has this generous side however I am going to reverse the refund as we are so happy with the new product we are more than willing to pay for it. We have had an Oral B E-toothbrush for over ten years that was starting to slow down so I ordered the new Pro 1500 as a replacement. - The new brush is easier to hold it has a slimmer smoother finish - The brush sits on the counter on it's own due to two lovely little knobs that support it, so it is easier to put the toothpaste on it without making a big mess when it falls over (not that I'm a pick, ya right! :) - The 4 reminder warnings to move to brush a different quadrant are very useful for my husband and I, we like the reminder, I notice some reviewers don't but we definitely do. - I like the smaller base and the whole look of the complete unit on the counter. - We both feel our teeth are cleaner after using the Pro 1500 than our previous model. - The price was right, very similar to what we paid ten years ago. - If this one last ten years like the last one did we will be delighted.
