[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my very first Oral B electric toothbrush and I find it better than my current electric tooth brush.
Points to mention:
Its design is quite appealing and Onyx black is very pleasing to eyes. The battery life is very good, lasts more than a week when used twice a day for more than 3 minutes. My current toothbrush lasts for 2 days in each charging session, not good.
I like how clean my mouth feels after brushing which is missing in my current toothbrush. The gums are cleaned immaculately I could feel and see that. There are 5 modes to select for brushing and I use mostly Sensitive for my sensitive gums. The vibration after each 30 second alerts you so you have an idea how long have been brushing. The brush keeps a memory of your brushing in each brushing session. Like after few seconds when I stop to adjust the brush, it does not refresh the memory but starts from where I stopped, so I know how long I have been brushing. After each brushing it displays a happy or sad face depending how long, short or enough time I took for brushing, which is fun.
The brush head rotates for a good clean up and cleanses gums and in between the teeth well. This packaging comes with a travel pouch which is handy to carry the brush when needed for travel.
Some negatives:
First of all, its app does not connect to the brush, no matter how many times I try to connect. I tried all methods like factory resetting, checking bluetooth settings but no avail. Its frustrating when the main features which has been advertised so much does not work. Moreover there are several apps for Oral B so its quite confusing which one works with this toothbrush and I installed almost all of them and none worked.
I found the brush head that comes with it quite wide ,almost 1 inch which is too big for me. It is inconvenient when I brush the corners of the mouth and chewing surface. The purpose of sensitive mode fails when the brush head itself is wide for the mouth. I would have liked if they included extra brush head for the sensitive gums with small brush head.
I shall buy a smaller head in width to use with it. Also I appreciate the travel pouch that comes with it, however I would have liked a case as well for the lower part of the brush as pouch would not provide a good protection to the pointed lower part.
Given the features ,good and not so good, including price point, I would like this particular model needs some modification as I described in my feedback. Though I find it better than my current electric toothbrush but still not something I would purchase if I have issues with the brush head and its apps which is the core of this new model.
This is my experience , others may not be having problem with the wider brush head or app not connecting.
