The Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush offers the finest balance of usability, efficacy, and affordability. If you’re looking for a basic electric toothbrush, you might not need the high-tech bells and whistles that some brushes provide, which include several brushing modes.
In this review, we’ll go over the features of the Oral-B Pro 1000, how it differs from other electric toothbrushes, and why it’s especially recommended for people who have never used an electric toothbrush before.
Technology
This electric toothbrush isn’t for you if you’re hoping for bells and whistles like an app-enabled electric toothbrush that monitors your brushing or an electric toothbrush with various brushing modes. The Oral-B Pro 1000 is a basic electric toothbrush without many extra functions, yet it is still strong and is made to rotate around each tooth.
Features
Of course, the Oral-B Pro 1000 has the essential components of an electric toothbrush. A pressure sensor prevents the toothbrush from spinning when brushing too hard, and a warning light lets you know when the toothbrush needs to be charged. A two-minute timer that pulses every 30 seconds reminds you to brush every area of your mouth.
We’d suggest the Oral-B Pro 1000 to anyone switching from a manual toothbrush or who wants a less expensive electric toothbrush without the fancy features because it has all the essential elements of a good electric toothbrush and is reasonably priced.
Appearance
The Oral-B Pro 1000 features a fairly straightforward layout. With a large body, a single button to switch the toothbrush on and off, and an adjustable toothbrush head, it has exactly the appearance you’d expect from an electric toothbrush. The bristles on the spherical brush head are crisscrossed.
The Oral-B Pro 1000 is available in white or black. Sadly, the Oral-B Pro 1000 doesn’t come with a travel case or extra brush heads because it’s a basic model. Other Oral-B models, such as CrossAction, FlossAction, Precision Clean, 3D White, Sensitive Gum Care, Deep Sweep, and Dual Clean, can be used in its place.
This indicates that you have a variety of choices when purchasing replacement heads, and you can choose those offered if you so choose. There are also reasonably priced travel cases available.
How to Use
The Oral-B Pro 1000 is incredibly simple to use because of this. The single brushing mode on this toothbrush is Daily Clean, which spins to remove plaque. The toothbrush will turn on in this mode when you push the power button and pulse every 30 seconds to let you know when to go to a different area of your mouth.
Despite having a two-minute timer built in, the toothbrush does not turn off unless you manually switch it off, in contrast to other brands like the Spotlight Oral Care Sonic Toothbrush. Simply set the toothbrush on the provided charger to charge it. Until the toothbrush is fully charged, a light will flicker on the Oral-B Pro 1000 before going out.
Pricing
The Oral-B Pro 1000 costs $50, significantly less than the majority of Oral-other B’s electric toothbrush models and those from many other electric toothbrush manufacturers. This pricing makes the Oral-B Pro 1000 appealing for first-time users because you can enjoy the improved cleaning of an electric toothbrush without spending hundreds.
However, this toothbrush may have fewer features than more expensive versions because of the price.
Charging
According to the user manual, the Oral-B Pro 1000 takes 22 hours to charge fully. We barely noticed a little difference in length. The Oral-B Pro 1000 took 20.5 hours to charge when the battery had been discharged fully. A full battery went out in less than an hour of continuous use. A full charge should allow for 10 days of twice-daily brushing, according to the user manual, before requiring a recharge.
Pros
- You’re prevented from brushing too hard by a pressure sensor.
- Compatible with a wide range of different Oral-B brush heads.
- The two-minute timer indicates when you should stop brushing.
Cons
- Only in brush mode.
- Very loud.
Verdict
At 89 decibels, the Oral-B Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric toothbrush is as loud as heavy traffic. When submerged in water for the whole two-minute brush cycle, the Oral-B Pro 1000 proved to be waterproof, as claimed. Even after being submerged in water, the toothbrush functioned well. Similarly, when our tester pushed the brush into her teeth, the pressure sensor behaved as it was supposed to and turned off the rotating brush head.
