Oral-BPro 5000 Smartseries Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush with Bluetooth Connectivity, Black Edition

I have been using an Oral-B toothbrush for sometime but not one as nice as this one. I'm very pleased with the performance of this toothbrush, it lets you know when you're using too much pressure. It will flash red and that's a big help when you're brushing your teeth. It is a top quality toothbrush and it functions very well. And it holds a longer charge than my other Oral-B toothbrush.

I won't rehash what others have already said, this is a great toothbrush, you won't be sorry buying it. What I will do is point out things that aren't mentioned much, but that were important to me.1) There's little to no difference between this model and higher priced ones, even 2x the price - by 'little' difference, I mean the higher price gets you more features in the app and another 'brushing mode' or two, like pulsating or an additional 'gentle mode'. By 'no difference', I mean inside-hardware and capability-wise, they're actually all the same. Spend more if app features are important to you, save your money if they're not.2) This model has no indication which of the 5 brushing modes you're on - Oral-B decided to charge an extra Benjamin for that feature on the next model up, I think it's the Smart Pro Limited or Smart Pro 6000, which has a light-up display that lights up icons when you switch modes; that's really all the higher price gets you. You can either count the modes yourself and save some money, or just holding the mode switch button automatically resets it to the first mode if you forget.3) The bluetooth comes automatically on, but you can turn it off anytime by just holding both the power button and the mode switch button for 3 seconds. The bluetooth icon will flash, and then turn off. It'll stay off forever, or until you repeat that action, then it'll flash and stay on. Very simple, but good to know if you don't care about the app and want to save battery4) I looove that this brush doesn't actually stop brushing when it hits the 30 second mark. I've always hated how my last brush, the discontinued 4000 Pro model, would just stop and beep - very annoying since I brush at my own pace. It was especially annoying when I was brushing the back of my tongue and the abrupt interruption always almost caused me to gag; this one just beeps and slows down for half a second - it's actually hard to notice if you're not looking for it - which is a huge plus for me. I can finally brush how I want and not forced to pause because I was out of sync with the timerAll in all, I'm very pleased with this model, really no regrets, and hope it lasts for years to come.

I gave it a few months before trying to write a review and I can honestly say I love this toothbrush. My old oral b electric toothbrush lasted me over 7 years before finally starting to lose it's juice so I figured I would replace it with another Oral B. I read a million reviews on all of the models and this was the one I eventually settled on. The professional clean setting is amazing, it really makes your mouth feel clean. During a recent exam my dentist was impressed at how little interstitial plaque was present despite not having had a cleaning in quite some time, and I honestly attribute that to this little tooth brush. My only complaint is that it is quite loud, but not unbearably. The battery is great too. With 2 people brushing regularly I usually only have to charge it once a week and even then it only takes two to three hours to get to full charge.

This toothbrush replaced an Oral B Triumph electric toothbrush that was several years old and starting to show a lot of wear. I needed a new toothbrush anyway and the bluetooth feature intrigued me. After having used it for a few days I will say that I'm very happy with the toothbrush itself. The brush head I was using was only 4 or 6 weeks old, so I just put my existing brush head on the new toothbrush and I was quite surprised that my teeth felt noticeably cleaner than when I brushed with my old triumph brush, even though I was using the exact same brush head. The triumph was in the same price range as this brush, so I really wasn't expecting any difference in brushing performance. This brush is also noticeably lighter than my old triumph.I'm not sure how helpful the bluetooth feature really is, though. It's really a bit of a pain to remember to bring my phone to the bathroom, unlock the phone, start the app, then start brushing every time. While you're brushing the app pretty much gives you the same info that you get with the smart guide that Oral B has included with their toothbrushes for a while now (although it does also include news headlines, weather information, and upcoming calendar appointments) but frankly,when I first got my triumph brush I think I used the smart guide for all of about a week and then managed to lose it in the back of a bathroom cabinet, so I'm not sure I really see myself continuing to open up the app every time I brush my teeth.The app will also record how often and how long you brush for and the brush will retain 20 sessions if you don't start the app each time you brush, so if you want a log of your brushing habits, then it would be good for this and you'd only have to sync with your phone about every two weeks or so, but frankly, I'm not entirely certain why I'd want a log of how often I brush my teeth.The other thing worth noting is that it doesn't work well to share the brush with someone else. The brush will sync with more than one phone, so if everyone remembers to open the app every time they brush, then it will work and the data will all be logged correctly for each user. However, if you don't open the app the brush will store the session in it's own memory and will then sync that session with the first phone that it connects to. So if my wife wakes up first and brushes her teeth without connecting her phone, then I connect my phone and start brushing the app will show that I brushed my teeth twice that morning... once from the saved session that my wife did and once from when I actually brushed them.So in the end I'm going to keep the brush as I'm really quite happy with it's performance as an electric toothbrush, and the bluetooth feature doesn't really add any additional cost (I believe it's actually the same price as the non-bluetooth Pro 5000), but I'm not sure I'll actually be using the bluetooth feature several weeks from now.

Love this toothbrush, first one lasted 13 years and now had to replace it because it stopped holding a charge long enough to brush for two minutes. That’s the only problem I had with it. Hope to get the same amount of use from this one.
