    Very good value for money compare to most expensive models, it arrived on time and I am very happy with the quality of the toothbrush, it give my mouth a good clean and much better than the Philips sonicare
    that it replace , you can feel the quality of the clean while brushing, the power of the brush is impressive
    I have been using electric toothbrush since 2014 and this model is one of the best I owned, the only downside ad reason I reduce a star is that is that you cannot turn it off with a single press of the button, you have to press about three times which is a bit annoying for me

    Easy to use as didn’t need lots of gadgets like link to phone etc so this brush was ideal but it does have a timer and comes with 1 head.
    Easy to clean and does a good job

    This is a great toothbrush which can be found at great discounts – I paid 35 for mine. The motor is powerful, it has three cleaning modes, a pressure sensor, a two minute timer with a quadrant indicator, a two week battery life, an indicator to tell you when your battery is low; and it comes with a nice travel case with room for two toothbrush heads.

    I’ve been using this toothbrush for nearly two months now and it is significantly better than any manual or electric toothbrush I have used before. My mouth feels clean and my teeth have a nice ‘polished’ feel about them after brushing. As an electric toothbrush, this is all you’d ever need; no fancy (and frankly unnecessary) Bluetooth feature to monitor your brushing technique and no exclusive heads that cost twice the price.

    Just make sure you don’t pay full price for this toothbrush, as they are frequently found on sale at multiple retailers.

    After my Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush wore out, I decided this time to go for an Oral-B. My reason being whilst that when I bought the Phillips Sonicare years ago, I don’t think that Oral-B were quite as good. More recently, they seem to be, at the very least, on a par with Sonicare and they are considerably cheaper. Also the brush heads are a lot cheaper too as the Sonicare ones are extortionate.

    The toothbrush is relatively simple with less options than you get with the Sonicare, which is not a bad thing necessarily it’s just different. I like that the brush heads for the toothbrush are more compact, and I feel that they give a better clean. There was only one brush head included, which I thought was a bit mean, as it meant that I had to immediately buy some other brush heads as I share the toothbrush (but obviously not the toothbrush head!) with my husband. There is a travelling case included which, although not particularly sturdy, will do the job when we go on holiday.

    Overall, I’m pleased with this toothbrush as it is so much better than the Oral-B of old. If it was the same price as the Sonicare, I would probably buy that one, but, as it is considerably cheaper especially with the current offer on, I’m happy enough with it and don’t think that the Sonicare really warranty extra cost.

    First and foremost, the Pro 3 features a superior brushing technology that ensures a thorough clean for your teeth and gums. With its oscillating, rotating, and pulsating movements, it easily reaches places that traditional toothbrushes often miss, achieving a level of cleanliness that leaves your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.

    What sets the Pro 3 apart is its built-in pressure sensor. This sensor alerts you if you’re applying too much pressure while brushing, effectively preventing damage to your tooth enamel and gums. It’s a valuable feature, especially for those with sensitive teeth or gum issues. I found it very comfortable to use and i have never felt my teeth feel so clean. Going to have to replace all the family’s toothbrushes to the Oral-B Pro.

    Another impressive aspect of the Oral-B Pro 3 is its battery life. With a single charge, this toothbrush can last for up to 2-3 weeks making it ideal for travel or long trips without the need for frequent recharging.
    It a Bonus that it came with a sleek carry case perfect for travel.

    Lastly, the design of the Oral-B Pro 3 is sleek and comfortable to handle. It has a waterproof construction, making it safe to use in the shower or near the sink without worrying about water damage.

    affordable price .

    I finally bought this to replace a very old Oral B electric toothbrush that was no longer holding its charge. I went for this one as it was one of the newer ones and was on offer at the time. Let’s face it, all electric toothbrushes basically do the same thing!

    It comes with a travel case that I never knew I needed, but it has been super handy during a few days away, as usually I would just take a manual toothbrush and then throw it away after, as it was easier than finding a safe and secure way to pack my electric toothbrush.

    This has a timer function, so it vibrates every 30 seconds (for all 4 corners of the mouth), and then does a long vibrate after the 2 minutes are up. This acts as a great guide for how long you should spend brushing, although this did initially give me the tiniest bit of anxiety as I felt like I was brushing my teeth against the clock! Sometimes I do continue brushing a bit after the 2 minutes are up, as I do feel that occasionally I need more time to properly deep clean my teeth!

    It comes with a European charger so you do need to get yourself a convertor if you don’t already have one. There is also a light on it that flashes red when it is running low on battery. My toothbrush seems to last about 2-3 weeks before I need to charge it, which is great if you are taking it on holiday as it means you won’t need to take the charger with you if you charge it fully beforehand.

    Mine is in a sleek black colour, which looks very nice, and it comes with one brush head. My only advice is to just purchase standard brush heads from the likes of Superdrug etc, as the Oral B replacement ones are so much pricier and I don’t think they are worth it.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersWhat a difference! I’ve had cheaper electric toothbrushes for years now, but the difference between this and those other less expensive models is significant. NOW I see why the dentist used to ask me if I’d been using an electric toothbrush when I visited! This one does the job, and it does it amazingly well. My teeth feel smooth and clean, and my gums are, I think, significantly healthier.

    I have just one criticism of this toothbrush, and I’ll put that in the Cons section below.

    Pros:
    + It’s rechargeable so no batteries, and a charge lasts roughly 1.5 weeks.
    + It takes around 6 hours to charge, maybe less. (To be honest I’m not exactly standing over it, waiting for the little led to stop flashing. I think it’s about 6 hours).
    + Cleans teeth thoroughly.
    + Improves gum health.
    + Has a mouth quadrant timer, ie one focuses on a quarter of the mouth at a time, and the motor pulses to indicate that one should move on to the next quadrant. This means one cleans each quadrant properly, which is excellent.
    + Cleaning is easy, the brush pulls off easily so one can clean the main part and brush separately.

    Cons:
    – The button to turn the brush off isn’t in the indented bit where the On/Off symbol is, it’s very slightly toward the bottom end, under the ridge of the indent. Now, it may be that mine hasn’t been put together correctly so I’d appreciate knowing if others have noticed this. Because the button isn’t under the indent, I struggled to turn the toothbrush off. One of the penalties of being ancient! Once I’d realised that the button is just a little further back and not directly under the symbol, I didn’t struggle any more.

    I’m going to give this 4.8 stars because it wasn’t rheumatic joint friendly until I found the actual button, but even when I was struggling with it I was still impressed by how well it worked so it wouldn’t have made an enormous difference to my review.

    Well worth having!

    I have two if these, one is an older model. The older when has very definite buttons and much easier to turn off with wet hands. this model has the buttons buried in the rubber casing and they are hard to use when your hands are wet as there isn’t a definite defined button. I also, for life of me. cannot get these clean enough not to leave a residue on the stand. I remove the brush head, rinse the whole thing under the tap whilst on, rinse the brush too, yet there is always a mess in the base of the stand. It obviously comes from inside where you can’t seem to get at. As for the buttons, another product that changed something that didn’t need changing to justify marketing it as an updated version!

    This is my first electric toothbrush and it was recommended by my dentist. I wonder how I ever managed without one, it leaves my mouth and teeth really clean and the difference between this and a manual toothbrush is amazing. The timer is great to make sure all areas of the mouth are covered, and the sensor is also a godsend to stop you brushing the gums too hard. There are a number of speeds, but a word of warning make sure you put it in your mouth before you actually switch it on or you’ll make a bit of a mess like I did on the first use …. lesson learned ! It is easy to charge and stays charged for a long time and also comes with a case for travel. If you are unsure about this product, I promise you, you won’t look back.

    If you’re looking for a great toothbrush and looking mid range, this might be for you. I love the pink obviously it’s a personal choice. The different intensity settings are all great. Not sure what others are talking about when they say they can’t find the button?! It’s pretty clear where it is and it’s easy to press. I can sometimes have hand motor issues and I’ve not once had an issue with holding it over the last couple of months. All in all, worth it!

    This is my first* electric tooth brush that i’ve used and I have enjoyed my experience using it.
    My teeth feel much cleaner and I feel like I am taking better care than I was while using a generic manual toothbrush.

    It took a week or so to get use to the pressure of the brush however wasn’t painful or anything like that, just abit strange

    The only downside I have ran into is the the battery life is rather poor. There is no chance of this lasting for 2 weeks without charging, it can likely go just over a week with usual twice a day brushing.

    It does what you need it to do and teeth feel clean after each use and different to when I have used inferior brushes. You can’t go wrong and visits to hygeinist seem to confirm this.

    Really easy to use. Flashes red if your brushing too hard. Notify you every 30seconds to change the quadrant you are brushing. Teeth are noticeably more clean than using a manual toothbrush. Came with a handy travel case.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI had received this item in excellent time and well packaged. I used this the same day, and I can confirm that it is a good item. What I don’t think it explains is that you won’t get an adapter for the TWO ROUND PIN for the charger that you will need to charge the battery in the item. Fortunately, I had one I used for my electric razor many years ago. I also got what is classed as pink in colour. It isn’t at all bright colour. I can’t remember asking for that, but it looks better than all-white in my opinion so I will hold on to it.

    I did not know that it has a timer function because it doesn’t stop after a certain time but other than that its great. When I have to leave to go to my other parents house I usually don’t take the charger because it can last (I’m usually there for a week)

    I’ve been using Oral B electric toothbrushes for 50 years and this latest one is the best I’ve ever had. It leaves your teeth feeling even cleaner than previous brushes as the motor is stronger and faster.

    I’m not convinced about the three different speeds but maybe others will find it useful. Also, as has been said before, it is a little slippery to hold as it is slimmer than other versions. The 30 second timers are useful when compared with the old 2 minute timer. I’ve only once pressed too hard to make the pressure sensor work.

    I deliberately paid extra for a white handle so I don’t get encrusted toothpaste on the handle but as it it so easy to keep clean, the lower-cost black version with travelling case may be the better deal.

    I recently switched from a manual toothbrush to the Oral-B Pro 3 Electric Toothbrush with Smart Pressure Sensor, and I have to say, I’m impressed. My dentist recommended the switch, and I don’t think I could ever go back. The smart pressure sensor ensures that I’m not brushing too hard and damaging my gums, while the electric power provides a deeper clean than I ever got with a manual brush. Overall, I highly recommend this toothbrush to anyone looking to upgrade their oral hygiene routine.

    Pros: Holds its charge well. Travel case is sturdy and lightweight. Sensitive mode is useful especially if you’re new to electric toothbrushes. Effective and easy to use. I chose the black because any toothpaste shows up making it easy to keep clean.
    Cons: The switch is flush with the handle and not easy to find by feel. It’s a pain cycling through the other modes before the toothbrush turns off. The low charge warning light is not easy to see, and only comes on when the brush is already starting to struggle. Very slow to charge. (Not a problem if you have the charger in the bathroom but my nearest socket is on the landing.)

    I have had it for a year now and I love it.
    It has 3 different brushing modes. I find the first one a bit too hard for me, but the medium one is perfect.
    I normally use it once a day (I use a manual one as well) and the battery lasts for about 2 weeks. It takes one charge overnight to gt the battery full again.
    To mention a downside, it doesn’t matter how thoroughly you rinse the toothbrush that it seems always there is a ring of toothpaste underneath that leaves a mark on the sink or charger.

    My aunt was in the search for a new electric toothbrush. I ordered this product for her. He said she is happy with her new toothbrush and likes the light that comes in when you are pressing too hard. The toothbrush came with one head and the gift case. The case is a cheap plastic so it doesn’t add any value to the pack to be honest.
    Overall not the greatest toothbrush I have seen. I would have liked it to have some indication which if the settings you are currently using rather than trying to guess.

    This is a good toothbrush, the charge last really long. It looks sleek. It let’s you know it’s running out of charge, or when you put too much pressure on your teeth. Can’t speak to how loud it is, seems normal loudness you’d expect. I also really like that it doesn’t have rubber on it that can’t start peeling off, which was the issue with my last toothbrush with oral b. This is all plastic so it will be good with wear, can’t get damaged.
    My one gripe with it is the on/off button, it’s really annoying, cos it’s one of those buttons that dip inwards, so you’re trying to press down on something and it doesn’t turn off. I would rather have a button that doesn’t dip inwards, rather level with the toothbrush, or even a button that sticks out would be better. For usability it is annoying because you feel like you’re pushing the button down to turn off but it doesn’t turn off. Hope that made sense. Personally I would remember that for next time I buy a toothbrush

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThis is the first time having an electric toothbrush and I think I’m switched for life now. Really does make a difference. It was a shock at first how powerful it is but after a week I love it and don’t think I’d ever go back to a manual toothbrush.

    Pros:
    *Teeth feel super clean after using this, and whiter too (I’ve been using with the oral B whitening toothpaste).
    *Love the vibrating timer to tell you after each 30 seconds of brushing and for the 2 minutes mark too.
    *The red light to indicate when you use too much pressure.
    *Colour, I got the pink and I love it.

    Cons:
    *Noise!!! This is the biggest one for me, its pretty loud. My family haven’t really noticed or complained when I use it late at night or early morning, and so for me generally its no issue (I just make sure the bathroom door is shut)
    My worry for the noise for me personally is since I travel alot and stay in hostels (often bathroom in the dormitory room with thin doors) so I worry it could be too loud then. So I do wish it was quiter.
    *Second thing I’ve noticed is the supposedly “2 weeks lasting battery” does not hold up. I feel I have to charge it minimum once a week, (this is within the first week of owning) with using it twice a day at 2 minutes. So the battery doesn’t last as long as stated but for me it hasn’t been an issue sticking it on charge this often.
    * Charger connection, its a 2 pin prong, meant for a bathroom socket (I do not have) so had to get a plug adapter to be able to charge it. Simple USB-C connection would be preferred, or at least an adapter included in the box maybe.
    *I haven’t had an issue holding the toothbrush or grip, however, I would have preferred a rubber grip to hold with, where as it is all plastic housing, I feel rubber would have been more comfortable and less slippery when wet.

    Overall I do love this toothbrush and would recommend. I feel the negatives are minor, although the noise could be a big one for some people. It does the one job it’s meant to which is give your teeth a good clean! Happy with my purchase and just hope it lasts a good few years now.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersEmbarking on a journey to enhance my dental care routine, I recently acquired the Oral-B Pro 3 Electric Toothbrush with Smart Pressure Sensor, driven by the desire to achieve optimal oral health. After several weeks of consistent use, I am absolutely delighted to share my extensive 5-star review of this remarkable dental care companion. The Oral-B Pro 3 has far exceeded my expectations, transforming my brushing experience with its advanced features, superior performance, and dentist-recommended efficacy.

    1. Professional Clean and Guided Brushing Experience:

    The Oral-B Pro 3 delivers a sense of professional clean every single day, revolutionizing my brushing routine with its innovative technology and intuitive design. The 360 visible gum pressure control has become a valuable guide, ensuring I adopt the most effective brushing techniques for optimal results. This feature has not only improved my dental hygiene but has also heightened my awareness of areas that require special attention, leading to an overall enhanced brushing experience.

    2. Powerful 3D Cleaning Technology:

    At the core of Oral-B Pro 3’s exceptional performance lies its cutting-edge 3D cleaning technology, combining oscillation, rotation, and pulsation for unrivaled plaque removal. This dynamic cleaning action has proven to be significantly more effective than a manual toothbrush, resulting in visibly healthier gums and a remarkable reduction in plaque buildup. My teeth feel notably cleaner and smoother after each brushing session, giving me the confidence to face my oral health challenges head-on.

    3. Visible Gum Pressure Control for Gentle Brushing:

    One of the most noteworthy features of the Oral-B Pro 3 is its visible gum pressure control system, which acts as a vigilant guardian for my oral health. When I brush with excessive force, the toothbrush automatically responds by stopping pulsations, reducing speed, and visually alerting me with a red indicator to protect my sensitive gums. This proactive safeguard has instilled a sense of trust in the toothbrush’s design, ensuring a gentle and safe brushing experience that prioritizes the well-being of my gums.

    4. Dentist-Inspired Round Brush Head:

    The innovative round brush head, inspired by dental professionals, is an absolute game-changer in my dental care routine. The precisely designed bristles effortlessly cup each tooth, reaching every nook and cranny for a deep and thorough clean. What impresses me most is how gentle the brush head feels on my gums, despite the thoroughness of the cleaning action. This superior design has significantly improved my brushing efficacy and has proven to be a worthwhile investment in my dental health.

    5. Long-Lasting Battery Life:

    The Oral-B Pro 3’s impressive battery life has been a boon to my busy lifestyle, providing more than 2 weeks of usage on a single full charge. This extended battery longevity has offered unrivaled convenience, as it allows me to enjoy uninterrupted performance during hectic schedules or extended travels. The peace of mind that comes with knowing my toothbrush will reliably serve me for an extended period is truly invaluable.

    6. Smart Brush Head Indicator:

    A standout feature that has further streamlined my dental care routine is the smart brush head indicator. The Oral-B Pro 3 takes the guesswork out of when to change the brush head, as the bristles fade from green to yellow based on individual usage. This intuitive visual cue ensures that I consistently maintain a 100% cleaning efficacy, optimizing the performance of my toothbrush and promoting the longevity of the brush head.

    Conclusion:

    In the realm of electric toothbrushes, the Oral-B Pro 3 Electric Toothbrush with Smart Pressure Sensor has undoubtedly set a new standard for superior dental care. Its 3D cleaning technology, visible gum pressure control, dentist-inspired round brush head, and smart brush head indicator have transformed my oral care routine from ordinary to extraordinary.

    First off this toothbrush has a lovely design and feel, the functionality of it is top notch, dentists always recommend an electric toothbrush and for us to clean well and all areas.

    With this toothbrush you won’t be disappointed, from the moment you turn it on it feels and sounds like a mini engine in your hand, it’s powerful and it can clean every tooth with precision, most of all you can feel it properly cleaning the teeth and gums, unlike any of toothbrush I’ve used.

    It has 3 modes – daily clean, sensitive clean and tooth whitening, they all feel vastly different, the sensitive one is mainly used for gums, not sure if the whitening is working yet but it has a nice feel when gliding across the teeth.

    Overall I am very impressed with this brush, luckily I got it in the prime day sale, which I considered a bargain as it was down from 100! You will definitely get your moneys worth with this.

    I have only charged it once so far and apparently it does last a while before next charge is needed.

    Best brush on the market by far in my opinion!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Deep cleaning at its fines

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI did a lot of research before buying this and it seemed to be the best electric toothbrush within my price range. It doesn’t have all the features of the most premium toothbrushes, but it has the features that are likely to be most beneficial to most people.
    I find the timer very useful (I divide my mouth into quarters, brush each quarter for 30 seconds, and the brush pulses after 30 seconds as a reminder to move to a new section of my teeth). The pressure sensor lighting up is also a good indicator as to how hard i normally brush so I can correct this.
    Downsides for me are the size of the brush head. It’s very hard to brush the back of my teeth without the pressure sensor lighting up. I also found that the charge doesn’t last for two weeks, although I am usually brushing for longer than 2 minutes at a time so perhaps this is why.
    Replacement brush heads are expensive and I plan to explore alternatives.
    I feel my teeth look whiter and my mouth feels cleaner since I started using this brush. All in all I think it’s a great product for the price!

    Golden Review Award: 28 From Our UsersI bought this to replace my Philips sonicare (the 2nd one I’d had) which had stopped working properly after bang on 2 years meaning the warranty had therefore just expired (typical)!

    I decided to give Oral B a go as it has a rotating brush head so is quite different to what I was used to. And I have to say, I am a fan of the rotating brush. It gives a really good thorough clean with less manual work as you don’t need to physically scrub with a back and forth motion.

    The brush heads fade down to reach a yellow colour with each use indicating when it’s time to change them. Again, this is really helpful. I also like the finish on the toothbrush. It is not rubber (which I do not like), it is a smooth pastel pink plastic with a rubber button so isn’t ugly to have displayed on charge. I do prefer the appearance of the sonicare range, but it’s not bad. The button does have to be held down for quite a long time to switch off the toothbrush as there is a slower setting that can also be accessed via the button being short pressed.

    A great feature is the red light sensor to tell you when you’re applying too much pressure, something I am often caught doing and this prevents you damaging your enamel. My previous (more expensive) Philips model toothbrush did not have this feature so another brownie point for Oral B!

    Where my overall opinion is altered slightly is in the battery life. This brand new toothbrush (which claims to have a 2 week battery life when fully charged) does not have more than a few days worth of charge. Within the week I have to recharge it at least once. Whereas my Philips sonicare did last for a full 2 weeks without charging. And once the Philips model low battery light came on it’d last several more brushing cycles before dying. This Oral B toothbrush conks out pretty swiftly once that battery light comes on so you best hurry up!

    Love the travel case. I always had that with my last toothbrushes and it’s great if you travel a lot as it fits 2 brush heads in it and protects it from damage when packing.

    Overall, for the price this toothbrush is a great model. Nothing fancy, not packed with silly features (which often allows more room for failure) but it does have a few really good things going for it. Great for the price if bought on offer on Amazon. And has an extendable warranty inside so I registered online and got a 3 year warranty. Shame the battery isn’t as strong as other brands, but otherwise I have now converted from Philips to Oral B and I’m really pleased with the product!
