Oral-B Smart 5000 Rechargeable Electric Powered Toothbrush, Black with Travel Case and Bluetooth – Visible Pressure Sensor to Protect Gums – 5 Cleaning Modes – 2 Minute Timer

Best Tooth Brush Ive ever had.
The Oral-B Pro 5000 SmartSeries Electric Toothbrush is a great toothbrush with an even better app. It feels good, looks good, and is very easy to use and set up. The pressure sensor works well. Downsides: It takes 22 hours to fully charge, the plastic case feels very cheap and barely fits the toothbrush, it’s quite loud, and each 2-minute brush uses about 5% of the battery.

Never a manual toothbrush again
I prefer the electric rotary style toothbrush, circular motion of the brush head. I have historically had really bad gums, this toothbrush has really helped my oral hygiene. The bluetooth part of the toothbrush is to help guide you and keep you on track with which section to brush next, plus a breakdown for brushing too hard, how long, how many times and how often you brush. This is a nice feature to have, you do have to download the app to have this work properly.

Super brush!
This is the second Oral-B powered toothbrush that I’ve owned, and I’m even happier with it than I was with my first one (which I also really liked).The most important aspect of a toothbrush is how it performs. For my wife and I, we love how fresh and clean our teeth feel after brushing with it. It has several different brushing mode to suit your tastes:1) a higher power, more vigorous brushing mode2) a slightly lower power mode, if you are slightly overwhelmed with the full power mode (this is especially helpful for younger kids using the brush)3) a pulse mode that alternates between a higher and slower spin/vibrate action that is even more gentleOne of the handiest features of a smart electric brush like this is that it has a built in timer to help you to know if you’ve brushed enough to really clean your teeth. You can set it for 2:00 or 3:00. This is, of course, just a guideline, for how much one should brush to clean their teeth thoroughly, but it is helpful. The whole body of the brush pulses after each successive 25% has been completed. I use this to clean my quadrants (lower left, lower right, upper left, upper right) so I can be a bit more confident that I’ve given equal time to all my teeth.On another note, the device is well built. I wouldn’t hazard to drop it intentionally, but if reasonably cared for it should provide years of service. My last Oral-B brush lasted 5 years or so before the rechargeable battery started to give out (which is expected). I’m sure this one will last at least as long.Speaking of batteries, this brush has a very sleek wireless charging system. No exposed contacts or ports to cover – just set it on its base and it does the job.Include in the package was a nice, low profile base with an attached caddy for up to four brush heads (if you are sharing the brush with family or significant others). It also comes with a plastic shell caddy for short trips. I found I could pretty comfortably use the brush for 3-5 days while traveling without requiring the charing base, though your milage may vary. Just a note about the caddy. My last brush came with the same plastic caddy. The hinge of the caddy eventually broke but the two halves of the shell still snapped together effectively enough that it was still useable/useful. An annoyance to be sure, but not a major problem.This unit also can communicate with an app on your smartphone that can provide you with brushing insights and remind you when to change your brush. As of this writing, the software is only useful if only one person is using the brush as it doesn’t currently have the notion of distinct users – everyone’s brushings are evaluated together. As a techie, I would normally love something like this, but so far I have not been terribly motivated to open the app while I’m near my toothbrush so the brushing history can sync, etc.So, while the smartphone/app integration is not currently a major selling point, the really important functionality and quality of the product is there.

This is a whole new level of cleaning capability. Ever since Oral B hit the market there is no better cleaning tool but many people use it so much or incorrectly they add other problems. Time and pressure are important to monitor especially for those who use this multiple times a day. This new technology allows these side effects to be controlled. It is easy to use and the Bluetooth connect allows techies greater insights and fun! It is a bit expensive but lasts for years so a good purchase.

Very good electric toothbrush

great price for 2 units… battery last longer that my previous oral b
