5.0 out of 5 stars Oral-B Pro-Health Battery Toothbrush Precision Clean, August 22, 2010

If your sick and tired of buying rechargeable toothbrushes with internal batteries that quickly loose their charge capacity and can't be replaced, then this toothbrush is for you. These toothbrushes also feature electronics that keep the motor voltage constant - and hence maintain optimal orbital brushing speed - even as the battery voltage declines as they discharge. So motor power is held consistant right up until the end when the batteries near complete depletion where finally the motor just stops. So you get optimal performance right to the end of set of batteries! This feature also means despite the lower voltage of using 2x 1.2V NiMH rechargeable cells, you get the same brushing speed and power as using 2x 1.5V Alkaline cells. This is great! as rechargeable NiMH cells last longer due to holding more charge capacity, are cheaper in the long-term, and save you throwing out bucket loads of spent Alkaline cells that would end up in landfill.

Build quality of the units is great as you'd expect for a Braun, even for a cheaper unit. The battery chamber seals well but can be perfected by applying a thin layer of vaseline or other grease around the O-ring of the lower snap out section. This guarantees moisture vapour can't get into the battery chamber which over time can corrode rechargable batteries in long term service.

The on/off switch is smartly sealed beneath a rubber membrane which ensures water can't get into the internals.

The 2-minute timer is a nice feature. At this time interval the motor briefly oscillates off-on-off-on to let you know how long you've been brushing but if you wan't to keep brushing, you can as it doesnt turn the motor off.

Overall this brush is great, especially for the price. The fact that ageing rechargable batteries can be replaced as their capacity diminishes means you can expect years of service from one of these, whereas the more expensive units with internal batteries are useless junk as soon as they loose the majority of their capacity.

I changed from using a Spinbrush Pro clean to this Braun, and the improvement is terrific. The Spinbrush ran too-slow on lower voltage rechargable batteries, the battery chamber leaked, the button corroded and became unreliable, and batteries quickly corroded due to the leaking chamber. All these problems are remedied with this Braun model.

This review is from: Oral-B Pro-Health Battery Toothbrush Precision Clean (Health and Beauty)

Pro:

- It can clean teeth very well. Much better than manual toothbrushes. Much better than Crest Spinbrush. I am very happy to have it.

- It takes 2 AA rechargeable batteries. A full charged hybrid batteries will last more than 2 weeks. (it depends on how long your batteries hold the charge). Alkaline batteries last a month. So it is very useful for traveling.

- Since the batteries are removable, you can use different set of batteries until the toothbrush broken. Note that, you can not replace the batteries in any toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries and one of the most common reason for a toothbrush ends its useful live is the death of its built-in batteries.

- If you want to save the environment and you don't want to throw dead batteries into garbage cans then you don't like toothbrushes with built-in rechargeable batteries. It is very hard to remove the batteries from the unit to handle them properly.

- This is the least expensive electric toothbrush from Oral-B. But it performs really well.

- This toothbrush uses the same refill brushes that other expensive models use. So you get similar result for much less money.

Con:

- This one does not have a timer. You can pay couple more dollar to get the one (also from Oral-B) with the timer.

- People reported that this toothbrush lasts from 1 to 2 years. Well, the most expensive (about 9 times more expensive) Oral-B electric toothbrush lasts from 3 to 5 years. If you do not care about other features the expensive ones offers, I think this has more value.

This was my first electric toothbrush and I think this is the best thing happened to my teeth since my birth. I'm 31 years old and my teeth structure is prone to hiding food particles. I had to use toothpicks and floss regularly to keep them clean. I'm using this brush since last 1 month and I must say "Wow". I don't know what was holding me not to buy this product earlier. I think everyone should be using this product to better take care of teeth health.

Positive reviews here at amazon helped me to buy this product and hence I'm leaving my feedback also so as to encourage those who are still undecided. Go for it, it might be one of the best buys of your life.
